Your First Visit
Oral Surgery Consultation in Mentor, Highland Heights & Bainbridge Township, OH.
Your first visit is an important step toward improving your oral health—and we’re here to make it as smooth, informative, and stress-free as possible.
During your initial consultation, you’ll meet with one of our experienced oral surgeons to review your concerns, evaluate your condition, and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
In many cases, treatment can be completed the same day. However, for patients with complex medical conditions or advanced surgical needs, we may schedule a separate appointment to ensure the highest level of safety and care.

Please bring:

Helpful reminders:
- Patients under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian
- If your dentist has taken x-rays, ask them to send them ahead of time—or bring them with you
