Your initial appointment with Dr. Daniel Brunner will consist of a consultation to discuss your diagnosis and treatment options.

Your First Visit May Include
X-Rays
If your general dentist or physician has taken X-rays, you may request that these images be forwarded to our office. If there is not enough time for the X-rays to be forwarded, please pick up a copy and bring them to our office. Our oral surgeon and team will take any additional X-rays that may be necessary during your appointment.
CT Scans
Our practice uses state-of-the-art CT, or cone beam, technology to provide highly accurate 3D radiographic images. These detailed scans aid in the diagnosis of your condition as well as in treatment planning and the actual oral surgery procedure. This technology may be used in a wide range of treatments to ensure your needs are met and allow our oral surgeon to provide you with the most precise and effective care possible.
