Can I schedule my consult and surgery on the same day?
Yes. We offer an All-In-One-Visit
You can arrange your consultation and surgery all on the same day and dissolvable sutures can be placed so there is no need for a follow-up visit. A telephone or email follow-up is usually adequate. This is suitable if you have limited time especially for students who have to return to school, have exams, work, or other responsibilities that makes it difficult to take time off.
- Necessary forms are completed prior to your visit via website or fax.
- On day of your appointment, necessary x-rays are taken, consultation is done, and surgery is completed as planned- All on the same day!
- In 5-7 days, the oral surgeon will check up on your progress by phone or email.
Who is ideal for the All-in-One Visit?
- Healthy patients with no need for special medical precautions.
- Non-complex impacted or non-impacted wisdom teeth (i.e. no major cyst, pathology, or severe and unusual impactions)
- No significant financial assistance necessary (i.e. insurance work up, payment plans, etc.)
- You are comfortable with information provided online and phone, and have good confidence in the recommended oral surgeon.
- Multiple visits are difficult due to limited time or distance.
When is it suggested to have a separate consultation appointment?
A separate consultation appointment is recommended if:
- You are very anxious and meeting the oral surgeon and the staff might help put you at ease.
- The wisdom teeth are highly complex in nature (e.g. deeply impacted or malpositioned teeth, presence of cysts or other pathology).
- You have a lot of questions or are anxious about the surgery or anesthesia and want to make sure you have thoroughly reviewed them with the surgeon prior to your surgery.
- You have special financial needs or assistance including insurance, payment plans, etc.
- Bring a form of payment: cash, credit card, or checks
- If you need financing, contact company prior to appointment and request a credit line
- If you want to utilize your insurance, benefits must be verified by your office prior to your surgery date. A consultation appointment may be recommended to help you with insurance benefits and discussing treatment plan and fees.
