Rea Anthony Dr

For your first appointment, your general dentist, specialist, or physician will refer you. Please allow up to 3-7 business days for our receptionist to contact you and set up an appointment. You will be scheduled for one of our consultation days, which vary from Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. If you are under the age of 19, a parent or guardian must be present. Once in the office, a medical history will be completed and given to our receptionists to process your information. Once ready, a Ceritified Dental Assistant will take you into one of our consultation rooms to go over your medical history, and review any questions you may have. Dr. Rea will then answer any questions you have in regards to your referral or planned procedure, and will go over your treatment plan with you personally.

Depending on your insurance plan, your insurance may cover a portion of your visit. Please be aware that Dr. Rea is a certified Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, therefore specialist fees are applied. For your initial appointment, we collect your consultation and x-ray fee up front. We complete the claim submission on your behalf, so that you may get a possible reimbursement for your treatment. When your surgery is booked, we will directly bill your dental insurance on the day of treatment. In order to have your insurance pay our office directly, we require a predetermination on file. A predetermination (or pre-authorization) is a document that shows that the insurance company has received an estimate request for your treatment.

Please allow 2-7 days for our referral coordinator to process your information. Appointments require a consultation with Dr. Rea before we proceed to book treatment. Depending on availability, your first appointment may be booked out between 2 weeks to 1 month. Another variable in booking time is the type of treatment, which may require a certain day of the week. We will try our best to accommodate your schedule.

Every dental case is different. Even though someone you know may have had local anaesthetic while having their wisdom teeth removed, it may be best for you to have them removed under IV sedation due to complexity of the case. Until Dr. Rea is able to consult with you face to face in his office, he unable to make treatment considerations on your behalf.

Any procedure completed in our office is not billable to MSP. If you are not covered under extended dental benefits, any surgery cost will be your responsibility.

During your consultation with Dr. Rea, local anaesthetic and IV sedation are two options that he may go over with you. It’s important to note the differences between the two, as some people cannot undergo IV sedation and require a local anaesthetic. Dr. Rea will be the one to make the suggestion which may be best for your personal case.

Please see our IV surgery pre-operative hand out, located here , for detailed instructions.

Certain cases do not require referrals. If you need a small amount of teeth removed, Dr. Rea will see you for a consultation and then your treatment can be booked another day. If you require coordination with orthodontics, another dentist or specialist, we require a detailed referral from your office requesting the work needed.
