New Patients
What to expect at your first visit
The paperwork that you will need for your first visit is right here on the website. If you’re coming in to be treated for a TMJ condition, click here; for a sleep condition, click here. Download the paperwork, fill it out with a black or dark blue pen, and bring it with you to your first appointment.
At your first appointment, you’ll have a consultation where we gather information about your symptoms, the history of your disorder, your medical and dental history, and any previous treatment that you may have had.
After that, we perform a comprehensive initial exam that includes palpating the head and neck muscles, testing range of jaw motion, recording irregularities in jaw movement, observing posture, and doing a neurologic screening. We often find it necessary to take X-rays, which are done with our state-of-the-art, low-radiation cone beam computerized tomographic machine, which produces three-dimensional color images of the head and neck.
One we have a definitive diagnosis of your condition, we can recommend the best course of treatment for you.
Insurance Coverage
We will submit claims to most medical insurance plans on your behalf, and our specially trained team will help you to maximize any TMJ or sleep benefits that you may have.
