First Visit

All new patients are introduced to our practice through a comprehensive examination done by Dr. Uyesugi and Dr. Liong.

This initial visit will be comprised of an oral cancer screening, an examination of your gums to diagnose periodontal diseases (also known as gum disease), temporomandibular joint to evaluate any abnormalities, and an analysis of your overall dentition for existing restorations, active decay and occlusal wear.

Your second visit will consist of a consultation so that we may understand what your needs and your wants and discuss with you your treatment options. If you have an emergency, we will diagnose and recommend treatment during your first visit at our office.

If you will be utilizing dental benefits, make sure to contact our office prior to your new patient appointment to verify your eligibility for the visit. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims and verify any co-pay amount due for your visit. Without accurate information, you are responsible for all of the appointment cost.

• Any recent checkup or full mouth X-rays (if applicable).
• A list of your current medical prescriptions.

IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at visits.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to your dental visit (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
