At your first appointment
Your initial office appointment will consist of a consultation with Dr. Mahar and his team to evaluate you and determine your treatment needs. A complex medical history, treatment plan, IV Sedation, or general anesthesia will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please bring
- Your referral slip and any x-rays (if applicable)
- Your dental and/or medical insurance card
- A list of medications you're taking
Please arrive 15-30 minutes before your appointment to complete the paperwork, or complete your paperwork now with our online patient registration.
Important
- All patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
- A preoperative consultation and physical examination are mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery.
- Please have nothing to eat or drink eight 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.)
- Let us know if you are currently taking any medications (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).
