First Visit
Finding a discerning dental home enhances the quality of your life and provides peace-of-mind. Our welcome starts with your first phone call to the friendly team at Paul I. Falvey D.D.S. We’ll reserve a time that fits your schedule and provides a perfect start to our partnership with you.
Working Together
Mutual respect and genuine listening set the tone for our time together. Your first visit includes time committed to exploring your questions and considering your concerns. We want you to feel free to share anything that will help us care for you.
You’ll leave our office with a clearer understanding of your oral and overall health, and a comfortable direction charted towards your dental goals. Our initial time includes:
- Genuine Listening
- Discussion of Your Dental Vision with Dr. Falvey
- Health History Review
- Oral Cancer Screening
- Gum Disease Screening and Charting
- Cavity, Fracture, Wear, and Missing Tooth Exam and Charting
- Digital X-Ray Review
- A Plan for Prevention and Treatment
A Comfortable Start
Whether you’re continuing regular care or charting a new course, we honor your commitment to better health by dedicating quality time at every visit.
Once we’ve gathered detailed clinical information, we’ll discuss your current condition. Through “co-diagnosis,” we’ll design a health-centered plan that aligns with your goals. We’ll set priorities for the care you choose and put a healthy smile within a budget and time frame that fits you.
Our team offers a level of expertise that blends years of experience and advanced training designing personalized dental care. And we always aim to help you feel relaxed, safe, and welcome. Your comfort always takes top priority regardless of the treatment plan we craft together.
Your initial appointment usually will consist of an examination and review of your treatment options. Usually, treatment can be done or started the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Any x-rays taken by a previous dentist, if applicable.
- A list of medications you are presently taking.
- If you have 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 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to treatment (i.e., diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).
X-Rays
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 x-rays are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.
