To best familiarize you with the process we have outlined the initial steps

New Patient Consultation

In this appointment, Dr. Krish will review your medical history, take Diagnostic Photos, do a simple Motor Nerve Reflex Test to determine if you are a candidate for a Comprehensive Examination and probable treatment in our office.

Comprehensive Examination

In this appointment, Dr. Krish and her clinical team gather additional diagnostic information including a CBCT Scan and a Joint Vibration Analysis. Armed with this information, Dr. Krish answers three key questions that all patients have; What is wrong, what we can do to help and how long it will take? With certain treatment plans, we can begin treatment the same day. If an oral appliance is selected as part of your treatment plan, Dr. Krish will choose one that is appropriate for each individual’s needs.

Start here

You’ll begin your first appointment by filling out important forms and questionnaires that will help us get to know you and some of the symptoms you are experiencing. We’ll collect information like your medical history, and you’ll have time to become acquainted with Dr. Krish, too.
