First Visit

What to expect

Thank you for choosing our office in an effort to save your natural teeth.  Our team is dedicated to providing excellent and comfortable care.

At your first visit, Dr. Baker will review your medical history, including medications, any prior surgeries and any known allergies. Please prepare for your visit with a list of all prescription and over-the-counter medications you take, information on your medical history including any prior dental health issues, and the contact information for a referring dentist.

Dr. Baker will review your X-rays, paperwork and talk with you about your symptoms before examining the tooth in question along with adjacent teeth. Once the exam and any required tests are completed you’ll discuss treatment options and the benefits and risks associated with each so that you can make an informed decision on how to proceed.

If you decide to receive treatment, it will be scheduled for another time or may start immediately depending upon the severity of the problem with your tooth. Several visits may be necessary to complete the prescribed treatment. Once the procedure is completed X-rays will be taken again to determine the success of the treatment. Before, during and after your procedure you should feel free to address questions or concerns with your endodontist and the office staff.
