Patient Information

What to Expect at Your First Visit

You will feel special from your first contact with Dr. Silegy and his staff. Dr. Silegy will listen to your concerns, evaluate your medical and dental history, perform an examination and thoroughly explain your treatment options to you. During your consultation, you will have all of your questions answered.

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 slip and any x-rays if applicable.
A list of medications you are presently taking.
If you have dental insurance, be sure to bring your card. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 years of age 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 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, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are currently taking any medication (i.e., heart medications or blood thinners such as Coumadin, Plavix or Asprin.

X-Rays

If your dentist or physician has taken 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.
