Simply call our office
and our staff will help you find a convenient appointment time. If
the office is closed, leave your name and phone number on our
answering machine or make an inquiry through our
on-line appointment system, and someone will call you back to schedule. As a courtesy to
our patients, we confirm appointments one to three days prior to
the scheduled date.
Once your appointment is scheduled, we ask that you arrive
ten minutes early to your appointment to fill out a health
history form and a patient registration form in the
office.
On the Day of Your First Visit:
On the day of your first
visit, Dr. Cai will thoroughly examine your teeth and supporting
structures, scan oral cancers, and advise any necessary
treatment plan. During your visit, Dr. Cai will provide you with a
detailed view of the exam on computer, and you can even ask for
your photos to take home. She will also advise you a home
care solution to have the best care of your teeth.
If possible, please
transfer your x-rays from your previous dental provider to our
office. If this is not feasible, just provide us with the dates of
your last bitewing and/or full-mouth x-rays if you remember.
Also, remember to
bring in your insurance information (if applicable), as well as
any forms that will help us process your claim better.
Cancellation:
We have exclusively reserved the time slot for your appointment.
If you are unable to keep it, please call our office 48 hours in
advance. Our practice does not double book or overlap
appointments, except in the case of emergencies; therefore, we
need advance notice to give the time slot for other patients.
Since each
appointment is time set aside for specific patients, there is a
fee for late cancellations or missed appointments.
