Patient Forms, Map and Directions to Gainesville Office

Your first visit to Tower Dental Associates involves a few special steps so that we can get to know you. To understand what to expect, please read through this page. You'll find all the practical information you need, such as a map and directions to our office, practice hours, payment policies and more. There's also background information about our committed staff and our first visit procedures. You can also save some time by printing out and completing the patient forms in advance of your appointment.

What To Expect
Your initial appointment will consist of meeting the Doctor and Staff, Comprehensive Dental Exam and Full Series of X-Rays. The Doctor will discuss any concerns you may have and explain, in general, your diagnosis and treatment options. However, most complex Treatment Plans will require require a second Complimentary consultation for the Doctor to discuss all your needs in detail including your insuarance information.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your consultation:

Your 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.

IMPORTANT: A parent or guardian must accompany all patients under 18 at the consultation visit.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern prior to surgery (i.e. diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, bisphosphoneates, etc.) or require medication prior to dental cleanings (i.e antibiotics, for pre-med.)

X-Rays
If your previous dentist has taken recent x-rays (within 6-months), 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.

We will schedule your appointment as promptly as possible. As a patient of record, if you have pain or an emergency situation, every attempt will be made to see you that day.
