First Visit:
Your initial visit is a crucial step in the treatment planning process. Dr. Ismaili will review your health history, perform an examination, explain your diagnosis, and create a treatment plan. Your consultation visit will conclude with a brief visit with one of our financial coordinators. They will review the proposed treatment plan and the associated fees and schedule a convenient time to schedule your surgery.
Occasionally, surgery can be performed the same day as the consultation, should you choose to and are prepared. (You must have an escort to drive you home and please review the instructions for Anesthesia below).
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your first visit:
• Referral form or letter from your referring dentist/doctor
• X-rays that have been taken by your referring dentist
• An insurance referral if you have a dental HMO policy
• A list of all medications you are presently taking
• Picture ID
• Your dental and/or medical insurance cards
• Your completed Patient Information and Health History packet
Finally, please be prompt for your appointment time. You should expect your consultation to take approximately one hour.
Important: All patients under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for consultation and surgery. |

Insurance:
As a courtesy to our patients, our office files all insurance claims and will assist you in obtaining your maximum level of benefits from your insurance company. As some of the services we provide in our office are deemed both medical and dental by many insurance companies, it is important that you provide our office with detailed information regarding all insurance policies in place prior to the time services are rendered. Additionally, if your insurance company requires that our services are pre-authorized, we will work with you to obtain such authorization in advance.
Prior to your appointment, we will obtain your insurance benefits based upon information that you provide us. Depending on your insurance, on the day of your appointment, we will collect the amount that we estimate to be your responsibility. Once insurance has processed your claim(s), you will receive a statement for any balances still due. Most Insurance companies will respond to our request for payment within four to six weeks. However, after 45 days of filing your claim, if the insurance company has not issued payment for your claim, the balance on your account will become solely your responsibility. We kindly ask that you remit additional payments promptly.
We are participating providers for the following medical, dental, and discount insurance plans. Please feel free to contact our office at (817) 466-8080 with any questions or if your insurance provider is not listed below.
