When you visit Cariboo Dental Clinic for the first time in Williams Lake, you can expect your visit to consist of an initial consultation where we explain your diagnosis and treatment options. If we determine that your best treatment option is a surgical procedure, in certain cases, we can perform the surgery on the same-day as your consultation.

For patients with a complex medical history, we will conduct a dental evaluation and book a second appointment to begin your treatment plan.

Please provide 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 medical or dental insurance, please bring the necessary completed forms (this will save time and allow us to help you process your claim)

IMPORTANT: All patients under the age of 18 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 medication (i.e., heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.).

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 up your X-rays and bring them with you to your consultation. If additional X-rays are required, they can be taken at our facility.
