Your first visit to our practice establishes a vital foundation for our relationship with you. During the first visit, we make sure to obtain important background information and give you time to get to know our staff. To understand what to expect from your first visit to our practice, please read through this page.
Having history of your most recent dental visits can be helpful for us to serve you better. Particularly your most recent Radiographs (X-Rays). We always attempt to minimize radiation. Even if we decide to take new ones it can be valuable to compare with previous images. If you have had a Cone Beam 3D X-Ray you may need to have it put on a DVD and hand carry it in. Often the patient must sign a release prior to a previous dentist sending the X-Rays digitally, which is optimal. Please contact your previous dentist and have them send the X-Rays digitally to [email protected]
Our friendly staff is dedicated to caring for you and your entire family's oral health and well-being. We take the time to create a personalized treatment for each patient and we offer a wide range of services. It is our goal to make your visit with us an extremely pleasant one and to send you home with a beautiful and healthy smile.
Your first visit to our office is designed to get you better acquainted with all we offer as well as introduce you to our caring staff. On your first visit, we will review your medical and dental histories and evaluate your oral health. We will listen to you, your concerns, hopes and expectations. We will take good records of your existing conditions, check your blood pressure and pH, and even do a Live Plaque Analysis where you get to see the status of the Microbiome living around your teeth.
For most patients we recommend a Comprehensive Exam which will most likely be the most thorough exam that you will ever have. These exams take time and a patient should be prepared to spend a few hours for the exam and the opportunity to have a detailed look inside your own mouth to see the conditions that exist using our Dental Microscope. This sets the stage for looking at the options that exist, and developing a treatment plan, which may be at a follow up visit. An initial hygiene visit is usually not scheduled at this time, as the diagnosis of the periodontal status of the patient will determine that best sequence of treatment to optimize gum health. In some situations where the patient is current with their health a new patient exam can be accomplished during an inital hygiene visit.
If you are looking for a highly trained and experienced dentist in Viera, you have come to the right place. At our practice, you will receive the highest quality dental care. Our dental office uses the latest state-of-the-art equipment and cutting edge technology and we uphold the strictest sterilization techniques. We know that many people may feel anxious about coming to the dentist, so it is our goal to make your visit with us as pain and anxiety free as possible. We view it as our mission to educate our patients about all of their oral health care options and to help guide them to choose a treatment plan that is most suitable and appropriate for their needs.
Our office is designed to place the patient at ease, our themed treatment rooms take off the edge of a cold medical office. We pamper our patients with aromatherapy, accupressure for injections, massage chairs, headphones, paraffin hand dips, an organic Tea Bar and more. If you are lucky enough to be in the Beatles room you can experience the Laser Disc Concert Experience. If you are lucky you might catch Dr Brown with the Fender guitar on, singing a tune.
Dental insurance is an important benefit that many employers provide. It is an adjunct in helping to pay for dental services. The dental insurance company has many rules and regulations that are a contract between the patient and the insurance company. If a dentist agrees to participate with an insurance company he is often forced into abiding by the rules and agreements that favor the insurance company and their shareholders over the best interests of the patient and/or the dentist.
We work FOR the patient not the insurance company. On the other hand we are diligent in working WITH dental insurance companies and having patients understand their coverage and maximizing their insurance benefits.
Patients that have dental insurance are happy to see that they can use their insurance to be out of network. We will file insurance claims for our patients and with most insurance companies we will only collect the patients estimated co-pay. Please call our front desk to inquire about your insurance and how we can maximize the benefit for you.
Surprisingly with our technologies we can often save a tooth that another dentist may not be able to, and require a root canal or extraction and additional services. In these situations not being handcuffed by the insurance company, winds up saving not only the tooth but the patients money.
