If you are a new patient at the Grantham Denture Clinic, then we will collect a little bit of information from you. At your First Visit, you can provide us your full name, address, phone number(s), and date of birth (optionally also your email address should you so wish). This is the minimal information we need from you. Your date of birth is not only general information collected at all medical, dental and denture offices, and is required for many different reasons, but will also be used to differentiate between patients with the same first and last name, so that they are distinct in our computer and paper files. Address and phone numbers change, but one’s date of birth does not. Of course, please keep us informed should your contact information ever change. You may also provide us with details on any dental insurance coverage you may have.
Patient Information
Patient Registration
Before we do any major procedure on you, we will ask you to fill out a couple of government-mandated forms and collect a list of your medications at part of the Patient Registration process. It only needs to be done once, as long as you keep us up-to-date with any significant changes to the details. The first form is a Patient Registration Form itself, in which you can provide us some details on your medical and dental history: it’s a pretty simple process, involving mostly a series of checkboxes you can check off. The second form is a Patient Consent Form, which you can read and sign—it is basically about you giving us permission to work on you. It is also you giving us consent to discuss personal information with your dentist, dental surgeon and outside laboratory services (basically, a lab that makes the cast metal denture base if we’re making a Cast Metal Framework Partial Denture for you)—all to allow us to provide the service(s) you are requesting from us. You may withdraw your consent for use and disclosure of personal information at any time.
The Consent Form also points out that we will safeguard and protect all your personal information, which you can read more about on our Privacy Policy page.
If you would like to view, print and even download these forms to understand them and even fill them out at your leisure at home, our Downloads page will allow you to do that. Or you can just fill in the two forms in the office—again, the first time you have a major procedure done with us; and, again, it only needs to be done once as a brand new patient.
In addition, if you carry a slip listing all your medications in your purse or wallet, then we’ll ask you whether we can photocopy it to include in your paper file. Or you can provide us a copy yourself at a later appointment, or give the list to us verbally if you wish. Your medications, like your medical and dental history, may be important to your denturist regarding the procedures done on you.
Again, please be assured that we have a very strict Privacy Policy, ensuring all your information remains confidential and secure.
Our Mission at Grantham Denture Clinic for more than 50 years (first with father Joe and now with son Tim as your denturists) has always been to bring our patients exceptional solutions, techniques and quality care to their denture needs along with a compassionate approach, creating a calming environment with confident, yet gentle, personalized denture care, always putting our patients first. We just love the joy we bring to our patients’ lives when we fit them with a denture that makes them feel whole again.
