It is not uncommon that on your very first visit, the services will be limited to a Comprehensive Exam, with either Dr. Yung or one of his associates, and a full set of x-rays. The primary focus of this visit is data collection and an opportunity to establish rapport so that we can better understand your dental needs and expectations. We may not do a cleaning on your first visit due to either time or scheduling restrictions and hygienist availability. If you would like to have a cleaning on your first visit, please make the scheduler aware of your expectations so that we can better serve your needs. X-rays play a critical role in our ability to diagnose disease in your mouth. It is not sufficient to find and diagnose disease based only on a visual exam and this is considered the standard of care for the ADA as well as Dr. Yung’s office. Under certain circumstances, x-rays can be delayed, especially if there is a medical reason involved that is supported by your physician.
We accept all PPO and Premier insurance plans, but we do not accept Medi-Cal and Denti-Cal or HMO insurance plans at this time. Please call our office to see if we are an in-network or out-of-network provider for your specific insurance plan and what that means to you and your co-pays.
