Your First Visit To Our Office

Initial Examination:

Your first visit will be a comprehensive oral examination.  This is a great opportunity to get acquainted with our doctor and his staff.  The doctor will ask you why you don’t like your smile.  He will then tell you how he is going to fix the problem.  We would like for you to leave our office with the answers to the following questions:

• ·         What is the orthodontic problem and will it require treatment?
• ·         When is the best time to begin treatment?
• ·         How long will the treatment take?
• ·         What is a palatal expander, headgear, distal jet?
• ·         What about pain?
• ·         How do I brush my teeth with braces on?
• ·         Does my diet change?
• ·         What are retainers and how long will I wear them?
• ·         What is the estimated cost and what office payment plans are available?

this is a great time to ask the Doctor or Staff any questions that you may have.  As a courtesy to you and your dentist, there is no charge for your initial exam.

It is important that you bring your Insurance Card to this appointment.  The Office manager will tell you what your co-pay is after the insurance has been deducted.
