Comprehensive Dental Examination
Your first appointment will be scheduled with Dr. Young or Dr. Streff. Your initial exam is different than the periodic exams you receive after each hygiene visit. We are interested in getting to know you and listen to any concerns you may have. Your initial exam is comprehensive in order to gather baseline information about your oral health. We will review your past and present dental and medical history. A personalized decision will be made as to which radiographs are appropriate and photographs of your face, profile and teeth will be taken. They will review these images with you and perform a complete exam which includes:
- head and neck exam
- palpating the muscles you use for jaw movement
- palpating head and neck lymph nodes
- evaluating your jaw joint (TMJ)
- intra and extra oral cancer screening
- examining and recording your gum health and bone support
- examine your existing dental restorations and evaluating bite and wear patterns
Baseline information will all be entered into your chart for future reference and any treatment or recommendations will be discussed. Dr. Young's and Dr Streff's goal is to educate you about the current condition of your teeth and gums and if treatment is needed, they can work with you to achieve esthetics, function and comfort. Intraoral photos may be taken if needed. If your case is more complex Dr. Young may re-appoint you for study models and more time for consultation. We feel that comprehensive dental examinations should be done once every 5 years.
Accepted Insurance Carriers
Our practice accepts most dental insurance programs. We are a Delta Dental Premier provider. Insurance companies can be challenging to understand, and our staff will gather as much information possible to help you understand what type of coverage you have prior to your dental appointment. To help us determine your benefit, have your insurance card handy when you call to schedule. Please bring your card to your first appointment.
Insurance and Billing
Once treatment has started, we will file your insurance claim as a courtesy to you. It is important for you to understand that your dental insurance is a contract between you, your employer and the insurance company. If you have concerns on the type of coverage, it is best to talk with your employer. Our Financial Coordinator will
estimate
to the best of our ability the rate of reimbursement. You will be responsible for all amounts not covered by the insurance carrier. All estimated co-pays and deductibles are due at the time services are rendered.
