Your First Visit
A patient’s first visit to Streamside Dental will typically consist of a consultation to explain the diagnosis and discuss treatment options. In many cases, treatment will be provided immediately following the consultation, however those patients with complex medical histories or treatment plans may require a second appointment at which treatment will be provided. Before any procedure requiring anesthetics, it is important to alert staff members if you have a medical condition that may be of concern. These may include hearts disease, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, diabetes, rheumatic fever, etc. Also please let us know if you are on any medication that may affect the procedure (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, blood thinners, etc.) or if you require medication before dental cleanings (i.e. antibiotics, for pre-med.)
Additionally, at the time of your first appointment, please provide as much of your medical history as possible. This may include things such as a referral slip and any dental X-rays in your possession, a current list of medications you are taking, and completed medical or dental insurance forms (if applicable). This helps us avoid delays when processing any claims.
Please note that patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian during the consultation visit.

The remaining balance after insurance payment is the patient’s responsibility, and we thank you in advance for promptly meeting your obligations. Options for a monthly payment plan are available, but must be arranged prior to your procedure.
Please remember that patients are ultimately responsible for their fees incurred, regardless of insurance coverage.
