Schedule Your First Appointment
To get started, you will need to book a consultation with our team so that we can assess your orthodontic condition and discuss your goals with you. From there, we will develop a plan for your treatment.
Fill Out the New Patient Form
Once you have your consultation booked, you will need to fill out our Dental & Medical Health History Form. We invite you to fill out the form online in advance of your first appointment.
The Consultation Process
The initial consultation process usually takes about an hour to complete, and will be led by one of our treatment coordinators. We look forward to meeting you!
Welcome! Let's Get You Settled In
We recommend arriving about 10 minutes early to get settled in and complete any required paperwork. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a member of our front reception team who will ensure that all the required forms are complete and help you find anything you need.
While you wait, you can relax in our comfortable reception room and enjoy some refreshments. We have games for kids to keep everyone occupied!
We will then give you an office tour and seat you in a private consultation room with our treatment coordinator.
Getting to Know You & Your Smile
We will start the consultation by talking to you about your concerns and treatment goals. We will also take some 'Before Treatment' photos of your smile. (You will love looking at those once your treatment is complete).
Next, we'll conduct a thorough exam. This will include some imaging to get a comprehensive picture of your dental health. We'll create a 3D digital image of your teeth using our iTero™ scanner, which we can use down the road to create whatever orthodontic appliance you may need.
We can also use the iTero scanner to produce a digital outcome simulation to show you what your results may look like at the end of treatment!
Crafting Your Treatment Plan
At this point in the process, you'll meet with our treatment coordinator to discuss your health history (if needed) and review the imaging, outlining any issues we have found that make you a good candidate for orthodontics.
Based on the exam and imaging results, our orthodontist will diagnose your condition and develop a customized treatment plan to resolve it and meet your goals. Our treatment coordinator and orthodontist will review this plan and go over the finer points with you.
This plan will include treatment recommendations, a projected timeline for treatment completion, and an appointment schedule.
We'll also discuss a payment game plan for your treatment. This will include your payment plan, insurance coverage, and possible financing.
Your Journey Begins
At the end of your appointment, we will review your treatment plan, outline the next steps, and answer any questions you may have. In many cases, patients have the option to begin treatment that very day if they’re ready to move forward.
Our team is here to provide clear guidance and support, not just during your consultation, but throughout your entire orthodontic journey. We believe that patients who are fully informed about their treatment have the best success, and that's our goal for you!
We know it might sound goofy, but we genuinely enjoy talking about teeth. Ask us anything. We are committed to making sure you feel informed, comfortable, and supported every step of the way.
