First Oral Surgery Visit in Boca Raton

What to Expect at Your First Visit to Boca Jaw Surgery

Your first visit to Boca Jaw Surgery is designed to be informative, unhurried, and reassuring. We take the time to listen, explain your diagnosis, and review treatment options clearly—no guesswork, no pressure, and no surprises.

In many cases, treatment can be performed the same day as your consultation. When a medical history or treatment plan is more complex, surgery may be scheduled for a later date to ensure the safest and best outcome. Thoughtful planning is part of excellent care.

What to Bring to Your Oral Surgery Consultation

To help your visit go smoothly, please bring:

  • Your referral slip and any existing x-rays (if available)

  • A current list of medications you are taking

  • Your medical and dental insurance information (completed forms, if possible)

This helps us maximize your time with the doctor and assist with insurance processing efficiently.

Important: Patients under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

IV Anesthesia & Pre-Surgical Requirements

If your procedure involves IV anesthesia, a pre-operative consultation and physical exam are required.

Please remember:

  • Do not eat or drink anything for 8 hours before surgery

  • You must have a responsible adult family member or friend bring you to your appointment and take you home afterward

🚫 Uber, Lyft, taxis, and ride services are not acceptable.
After anesthesia, patients need personal supervision—not just a ride. Your safety comes first.

Your Medical History Matters (More Than You Think)

Please notify our office ahead of time if you have any medical conditions such as:

  • Diabetes or high blood pressure

  • Heart conditions, artificial heart valves, or joint replacements

  • A history of rheumatic fever

Also let us know if you take medications including:

  • Heart or blood pressure medications

  • Aspirin

  • Blood thinners or anticoagulants

Clear communication allows us to plan properly and keep you safe.

X-Rays and Imaging

If your dentist or physician has taken x-rays, they may forward them directly to our office. If not, feel free to bring them with you.

If additional imaging is needed, we can take it right here at Boca Jaw Surgery, using advanced in-office technology for your convenience.
