How does booking work?
You tell us when you’d like to come in, and we call you to set the time. Fill in the request form with your name, a phone number or email, the days and times that work, and a line about why you’re coming in, such as a checkup, a consultation or a tooth that hurts.
A request isn’t a booked appointment until our scheduling coordinator calls you and you agree on a time. If you’d rather settle it in one conversation, call (618) 624-2800 during office hours.
Please don’t use the form to cancel or change a visit you already have. A phone call reaches us sooner and frees the time for someone else.
What should you bring to your first visit?
A few things make the first appointment smoother, and having them ready means less time on paperwork and more time with Dr. Prane. If you’re missing something, come anyway and mention it when you check in.
- Your dental insurance card, and a photo ID
- A list of the medications and supplements you take
- Your completed new-patient forms
- Your military or dependent ID, for the military family discount
- Recent X-rays or records from your last dentist, if you have them
Which forms can you complete before you arrive?
The patient information, HIPAA consent and office policy forms can be printed, filled in at home and brought with you, since the office needs your signatures on file. If your visit is for a sleep consultation, oral surgery or gum treatment, there is a separate registration form for each that you can complete online.
All of them are on our registration forms page. New patients may also want to look at the get-acquainted offers before calling and ask which ones are running.
