The first time you come to the center for help with periodontal care, dental implants or esthetic periodontics, you'll first meet with our health relationship coordinator to establish your needs in a quiet, private consultation room. Next Dr. Mathys will join you in the consultation room to meet you and understand your concerns.
Then we'll perform a clinical evaluation in the dental chair. In most cases, x-rays will be needed. If they are standard radiographs, they can be done right then and there in the treatment room. If you need a more in-depth scan, which are common for implant cases and difficult-to-diagnose cases, Dr. Gander will take your x-rays right down the hall in the imaging room.
Your image will be produced immediately. This is a real moment of discovery for a lot of patients. You'll be able to see exactly what is going on in your mouth. Having an oral scan is like having an x-ray – it's quick and painless. With Dr. Gander's skill and understanding you'll get a deeper insight into your oral health than you may have ever had before.
In some implant cases, that scan is imported into special software that will show exactly what your implants will look like once it's all done. Our center is the only location in the entire Rocky Mountain region offering this SimPlant® Master software. SimPlant® helps to plan immediate tooth replacement right on the implants, at the time of surgery. Talk about peace of mind and immediate gratification!
This process makes you an active participant in your oral health. At every step of your treatment you'll have a full understanding of what is happening and why. In effect, you develop your own treatment plan with expert guidance from our team.
You can expect your first visit to take about two hours.
Often a second visit is needed. At this visit with our dental specialists, you'll see visuals of your current oral health situation, and together we will develop a fully detailed treatment plan tailored to your specific situation. You can voice concerns, ask questions and truly become an active participant in the development of your oral health plan. At every step, we are committed to patient empowerment, and that means better care for you.
We have several different payment options available in our office: cash, personal check, debit card, Discover, Visa, or MasterCard are all accepted.
In order to offer the highest level of dental health in Denver possible, we are not a provider for dental plans that limit the quality of care we can provide to you.
That said, while we do not directly work with your dental benefits carrier, we are happy to submit your claim. The carrier will send any benefit payments directly to you. We will do everything we can to help you obtain the best coverage available under your plan.
Payment is expected at the time services are rendered. Financing options may be available through CareCredit®.
Please fill out your patient registration form prior to your first visit.
Please Note: a parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the first visit.
