First Visit and Patient Forms

Dr. Semmel and his team provide care for patients 5-100+ (yes, really), and we fully understand that people of all ages have dental anxiety! If you do have hesitations, or are feeling nervous about your appointment or procedure, don’t keep it to yourself! We will do all we can to assure you that you are in good hands and will answer any questions you may have to put your mind at ease.

What You Can Expect

Once we have received a referral from your doctor, our front desk staff will reach out to you and schedule an appointment! During your call you can discuss fees, options, ask questions, and give any medical/health information you feel we should know! You will have a medical history page in your patient registration packet for the extensive history, but some information might be good to know before scheduling! Some procedures will require a prior consultation with Dr. Semmel, such as wisdom teeth, implants, biopsy/pathology, and extractions of more than two teeth. For extractions of two teeth or less, you have the option to combine the consultation and extraction in the same appointment! However, the option to have a prior consultation is still available to you. If you are a new patient, you will need to fill out our registration packet. This packet includes your information, medical history, and privacy practices (HIPAA). You can ask our front desk team to email you the paperwork, you can click the link below to print and fill it out prior to your appointment, or you can arrive 10-15 minutes early on your appointment date to complete the forms. We do ask that you include a current list of medications and provide a dental insurance card for us to scan and enter into your chart! If you are scheduled for biopsy/pathology, we will also ask for your medical insurance information. Although fees will be discussed during scheduling, familiarize yourself with our payment options and insurance policy on our financial options page.
