Patient Information

Full mouth x-rays are generally taken every 3-5 years and checkup x-rays every 6-24 months, depending on your incidence of caries (cavities). A through examination of your teeth will include an intra oral video camera to help you see more if you like. A recording of your gum condition, your existing restorations and cavities. This information is used to compile a treatment plan and track your dental and medical health. Below are a list of forms we ask our patients to read and sign as indicated.

Sedation Dentistry:

Why only dream of having a beautiful smile when you can dream while getting a beautiful smile.
Sedation Dentistry also called Conscious Sedation or Sleep Dentistry and is a very safe and relaxing way to have your dental treatment done; patients are very happy with the experience. First Dr. Perry will discuss with you what is involved in doing sedation dentistry, then carefully go through your medical history to see if it is safe for you. You will need a companion to bring and pick-up you for your appointment. Dr. Perry will place an IV in your arm and sedate you, then you will sink into a very comfortable chair and covered with a warm blanket. Your vital signs will be monitored every few minutes. Our experienced clinical team will take care of your dental needs. When your treatment is completed your companion will return you home to finish your relaxing sleep.
