Your appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options.  The surgical and anesthetic procedures involved in your case are discussed in a thorough manner, giving you a sense of comfort. A Panoramic X-ray will be taken during this appointment to examine the level of difficulty of your surgery.

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 pre-operative consultation and physical examination is mandatory for patients undergoing anesthesia for surgery. Please have nothing to eat or drink 6 hours prior to your surgery. You will also need an adult to drive you home.
