Schedule an Appointment
The first step towards a beautiful, healthy smile is to schedule an appointment. Please contact our office by phone or complete the appointment request form below. Our scheduling coordinator will contact you to confirm your appointment.New Patient Info
The type of appointment and the time allocated will be based on the information you provide to our staff when you call to schedule an appointment. Please assist us to provide the optimal appointment for you by providing the following information or selecting the appropriate type of appointment:
Emergency Appointment
You have pain, swelling, bleeding or a lost/broken front tooth and would like to be seen on an urgent/emergency basis. Typically you will be seen promptly and, when possible, the same day. If Dr. Livaditis is not available, every effort will be made to have you seen by another dentist in the office or to refer you to the appropriate specialist.
Periodic Exam/Cleaning
You do not anticipate any dental problems and you would like to schedule a new patient exam and periodic prophylaxis (cleaning). For this appointment it is presumed you have been seen recently and on a regular basis for routine check-ups by your previous dentist.
Lost Restoration or Fractured Tooth
You have lost a restoration (filling) or chipped a tooth and would prefer a limited or focused evaluation and possibly restore the tooth on the initial visit. For this appointment it is presumed the comprehensive new patient examination will be scheduled on a subsequent visit. It is difficult to accurately assess on the telephone, the complexity of the problem and the time required. Every effort will be made to restore or resolve the dental problem during the scheduled visit. Certain conditions may require an interim restoration with a subsequent visit, or series of visits, to properly correct the dental problem.
Consultation
You have been referred by another dentist for evaluation or you are seeking an evaluation or second opinion. A consultation appointment is requested. No treatment is anticipated except for possible x-rays or diagnostic tests required to provide a diagnosis and treatment options.
Consultation for Extensive Treatment
You have dental concerns and would like to obtain recommendations, options or a second opinion for restoring your dentition to optimal health. An initial consultation visit will be arranged to provide options and recommendations in general terms. A comprehensive exam including appropriate x-rays, diagnostic models and detailed treatment planning may be arranged on a subsequent visit.
What you should bring with you to the new patient visit
Any referral notes or letters from the referring dentist or physician.
Recent available x-rays (or request our staff to obtain available x-rays).
List of medications you are presently taking.
Medical and/or dental insurance information. This will save time and allow us to process any claims for you.
X-Rays
If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 12 months), you may request that they forward them to our office. If there is not enough time, please pick them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility. Emailed x-rays are preferred over print copies. Have x-rays emailed to Livaditis.J.DMD@gmail.com.
