IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR NEW PATIENTS

To help protect you from becoming a victim of identity theft, our practice will verify the identity of all new and returning patients of the practice.

Additionally, federal law requires all healthcare providers to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each new patient.

What this means for you: when you fill out your paperwork, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth, and other information that will allow us to identify you. We may also ask to see your driver’s license or other identifying documents.

Your Initial Consult and Exam

At your consultation, one of our surgeons will evaluate your condition, determine your diagnosis and then explain your treatment options to you. On the day of your initial consultation, you will need to bring the following items:

  • Your ID. Identification will be requested at the first visit.
  • Your referral slip (if you have been referred to our office by a general dentist or other specialist).
  • X-rays. Any that have been taken within the past year.
  • A list of any medications that you are currently taking.
  • Your insurance information including dental and medical insurance cards & necessary forms.

About X-Rays

X-rays are used to accurately assess your condition and develop an appropriate treatment plan. Please bring any X-rays that have been taken by your general dentist or physician within the past year to your appointment. You may also request for your general dentist or physician to forward your X-rays to our office. If you do not have any X-rays, our facility is equipped to take them during your consultation.

About Referrals

Often, patients are referred to our office by their general dentist. Patients that do not have a general dentist are still welcome at our office. Some of the procedures performed at our office, such as the placement of dental implants and bone augmentation, require the collaborative efforts between a Nu Image oral surgeon and the patient’s general dentist. If you are interested in becoming a patient at our office, but do not have a general dentist, one of our oral surgeons can refer you to one of the highly qualified general dentists that we work closely with.

TREATMENT VIDEOS

At your consultation, our surgical team may show an animated video of the treatment we recommend for your specific case. These videos can be found here if you need a refresher or want to learn more about your options.
Please Note:
All patients under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian at their initial visit.

State-Of-The-Art Facility

Here at Nu Image Surgical, we use the Planmeca ProMax® 3D unit which offers a unique Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ imaging protocol. This enables CBCT imaging with an even lower effective patient dose than standard 2D panoramic imaging.

This technology enables the detection and evaluation of problems before they become serious. Our surgeons can accurately measure bone and jaw deformities, assess bone lesions and changes of the jaw, and detect other pathologies, such as cysts, tumors, and disease.

BENEFITS

  • It’s convenient. Having a dental CBCT scan taken at our office is more convenient than having one taken at the hospital.
  • It’s quick. The Planmeca CBCT unit only takes 20 seconds to complete one scan.
  • It’s more affordable. Having a dental CBCT scan at our office costs less than having the same image taken at the hospital.
  • Less radiation emitted. Taking a CBCT scan with Planmeca Ultra Low Dose™ imaging protocol, patients are exposed to less than half of the
    normal radiation emitted while having a full set of standard, dental x-rays.
