“You and
your family deserve quality dental care provided in a compassionate manner.”
Patient
Registration
Faculty Practice is committed
to comprehensive restorative and preventive care. Because our dentists
are full time faculty at the University of Florida College of Dentistry,
they have many commitments in addition to providing oral health care to
the public. It is important, therefore, that your schedule coordinates
with your personal doctor, as each doctor practices a limited amount of
time per week on designated days and times.
Simply call (352)
273-7950
to schedule an appointment to become established
as a patient in Faculty Practice.
You will be scheduled with
one of our highly qualified dental care professionals based on your stated
concerns and dental needs and the appointment times that are most convenient
for you. Your first appointment can generally be arranged within
a week or two.
Once a convenient appointment
time is set and time permits, we will mail you a packet of information
about us, registration forms, and a medical history health form.
Please complete the forms and return by mail or bring with you to your
first appointment.
Your
First Visit
Your first visit will be to meet
and get acquainted with your personal dentist. This visit will be
for consultation and evaluation only and will begin the process of treatment
planning to outline and prioritize the dental procedures recommended to
restore and maintain your optimal oral health.
At your initial visit to our
office, we will review your medical and dental health history, perform
a blood pressure and oral cancer screening and complete a dental evaluation.
If diagnostic radiographs have been taken and if time allows, we will discuss
our findings and diagnosis and establish a treatment plan designed to meet
your individual needs and concerns.
Subsequent appointments will
be scheduled for you based on the final treatment plan you and your personal
dentist establish.
If you require a specialist,
the initial visit will vary according to your individual needs
and the needs of that specialty.
