Consultation Preparation

Here is a step by step guide on what to expect on your first visit to Atlanta’s Institute for Surgical Correction of Sleep Apnea and Airway Disorders. Your initial appointment will consist of a consultation explaining your diagnosis and treatment options. However, a complex medical history or treatment plan will require an evaluation and a second appointment to provide treatment on another day.

Please assist us by providing 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, bring the necessary completed forms. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.

*If you cancel your surgery within 24 hours of your scheduled surgery time, we will not be able to refund any scheduling deposits. 

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 them up and bring them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.

Radiographs

If your dentist or physician has taken radiographs, you may request that they forward them to our office. If additional films are necessary, they can be taken at our facility.

CT Scans

Our practice utilizes state-of-the-art, full-cranial cone-beam CT (computed tomography) technology that provides high accuracy, low radiation 3-D radiographic images for the diagnosis, planning and treatment of oral surgery. This technology provides highly accurate 3-D radiographic images for the diagnosis, planning and treatment of orthodontics, implantology, TMJ analysis, airway assessment, oral and orthognathic surgery and other dental procedures. Undistorted, anatomically correct views of the jaws, teeth and facial bones along with cross-sectional (bucco-lingual), axial, coronal, sagittal, cephalometric and panoramic views are easily generated. Three-dimensional images enable a level of anatomical accuracy and patient care not possible with 2-D technologies. With the addition of cone-beam CT technology in our office, our practice is committed to providing innovative, high-quality, patient care.
