First Visit

Planning your first visit to Gentle Dentist in St. Clair Shores?

We’re dedicated to building a lasting relationship with you, starting from day one. During your initial appointment, our priority is not only to ensure your comfort but also to keep you informed every step of the way.

Your first meeting with our St. Clair Shores dentist involves a thorough consultation where we discuss your diagnosis and treatment options. In some cases, we can perform surgery on the same day as the consultation. However, complex cases may require further evaluation and a subsequent appointment for treatment.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:

• Your surgical referral slip and any X-rays if applicable
• A list of medications you are presently taking
• If you have medical or dental insurance, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.

A pre-operative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink 8 hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (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.)
X-Ray

If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
