First Visit
You may preregister with Heine, Heine, & Bowles Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, by filling out our online patient registration form. After you have completed the form, please make sure that you have pressed the submit button at the bottom of the form. On your first visit to our office, we will have completed the form by your signature. The security and privacy of your personal data is one of our primary concerns and we have taken every precaution to protect it.
Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:
- Your surgical referral form and any current x-rays
- A list of medications you are presently taking.
- Bring both medical and dental insurance cards
IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at the consultation visit.
A preoperative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing IV anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink six to 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, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).
X-Rays
If your dentist or physician has taken current x-rays, 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.
