ProviderArrive & Get Settled
We ask that you arrive 10 minutes ahead of your appointment. This will allow you time to settle in and complete any required paperwork. Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a member of our front reception team.
While you wait, you can relax in our comfortable reception room and enjoy some refreshments. All three of our locations feature play areas to keep your little ones busy while you wait.
Next, we'll take you to a private consultation room where you will have your appointment.
Assessment & Diagnostic Imaging
We'll start the consultation by talking to you about your concerns and treatment goals. We will also take some pictures of your smile.
Next, we'll conduct a thorough exam. This will include some imaging to get a comprehensive overview 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.
In some cases, we may use the iTero scanner to perform a digital outcome simulation to show you what your results may look like at the end of treatment!
We'll also perform a CBCT Scan. This 3D X-ray will give our orthodontist all of the behind-the-scenes information they need to create an effective treatment plan for you.
Customized 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 indications for orthodontic treatment.
Based on the exam and the 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.
Your new orthodontic treatment plan will feature treatment recommendations, an estimated timeline for completing treatment, and an appointment schedule.
We'll also discuss a payment game plan for your treatment. This will include your payment plan, insurance coverage, and financing should you choose to take advantage of that option.
Next Steps
At the end of your visit, we'll talk to you about the next steps that we need to take to get your treatment plan rolling and schedule your next appointment(s).
We will also be more than happy to answer any question you have and provide you with advice, guidance, and support – both during your consultation and throughout your entire orthodontic journey.
We love having the opportunity to talk about your teeth, and sharing helpful insight with you allows us to do just that. But more importantly, we know that patients who are fully informed about their treatment have the best success, and that's our goal for you!
