Common Questions |
|
How can we refer patients to your practice?
Patients should receive a direct referral from their dentist. If you have any questions, feel free to call our office immediately to assist you. |
|
Will the treatment be painful?
We will take every measure to ensure that your procedure is in no way uncomfortable or painful. If treatment is needed, we will inject a small amount of anesthesia to gently numb a concentrated area of your mouth. For most patients, the feeling of numbness usually subsides after 2-3 hours. |
|
Will I need to return to your office for follow-ups after the procedure is finished?
Yes, for most root canal treatments, we recommend that patients return to the office 1 year after the procedure was finished. Our office will send a reminder notice to you when you are due for a recall appointment. |
|
Do I need another appointment with my general dentist?
Yes. Because we are a referral based practice, it is imperative that you return to your general dentist for a follow up visit. Upon completion of your treatment in our office, your records will be sent to your general dentist for their review. |
|
How soon can I eat?
You should not eat or drink anything hot until the anesthetic has worn off from your visit. Failure to abide by this rule may result in severe damage to your oral soft tissues. |
|
Do you take my insurance?
Our office accepts most major insurances and is a participating provider with some of the largest insurance networks in the valley. Please visit our Financial Policy page or call our office for specific information. |
