Your relationship with Dr. McCauley begins with a complete medical history review and dental evaluation. A series of current radiographs (x-rays) are necessary for a comprehensive dental evaluation. For our patients undergoing surgical procedures or those requiring IV anesthesia, a pre-operative appointment is necessary to review medical history, obtain baseline vital signs (BP, pulse, heart rhythm, etc.) draw blood for lab analysis and consult with your treating physician, it may be necessary to obtain medical clearance before comprehensive work can begin.
