There are many dental plan options available. Plan coverage is determined by you and/or your employer. The details of your plan are protected by the Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA). While your dental office can help you understand your plan, they do not know the details of your plan and/or any changes that may occur based on annual usage or employer changes. It is your responsibility to understand what your plan covers. It is important to be aware of any financial limits and changes to your plan.

Yes, we do have your information on file. However, if there are any changes with your medical health from one appointment to the next that we don’t know about, it could greatly affect our treatment for that day. Some examples of how medical changes affect you and us: certain drugs could react with local anesthetics, nursing would change the type of anesthetic we use, if someone is taking birth control and we need to prescribe antibiotics it will nullify the effects of the birth control and it’s our job to inform you. Having you review the medical history each time is a good reminder for you in case you forget to mention a new change to us.

There are a few important reasons for this photo:

1. To allow our staff to easily recognize you from the moment you walk in the door
2. For our dentists to review your patient file before your appointment and see your face to prepare for your visit
3. And, in our area, there are a lot of patients that share the same name as someone else
