Your First Visit
We look forward to meeting you on your first visit to our office. During
this time, we will help you get acquainted with our office and learn about
your orthodontic treatment. We understand that each patient's orthodontic
treatment is different and we promise to give you the personal attention
you deserve.
Your first orthodontic visit will consist of an examination, digital photographs and X-rays (digital X-rays have approximately 1/10th the exposure of standard X-rays) and a discussion of potential treatment options. This important visit will address your orthodontic needs to determine if this is the proper time to begin treatment.
We will provide a complete clinical diagnosis regarding the nature of the problem, a written summary of the findings and a detailed plan that outlines the treatment, goals and estimated fees. We encourage questions from both the patients and the parents. This first visit is complimentary.
Financial Information
It is our mission to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment
that fits your budget! We offer a variety of payment options to meet your
needs. Please ask us about financing options, credit card payments, and
bank drafts. We thoroughly explain your options so that we can accommodate
your needs.
Insurance
If your insurance covers orthodontic treatment, you will receive the benefit
of reduced personal costs. Many insurance policies have a lifetime orthodontic
benefit that is distinct from regular dental insurance. Remember that
insurance policies vary, and we will review your insurance to determine
the appropriate course of action. Once treatment has started, we will
file your claims.
To help us with your insurance filing, please complete the insurance questions
on our questionnaire.
Please remember that orthodontic insurance is a benefit for you or your
child. If, during the course of treatment, your benefits change, the financially
responsible party is accountable for all charges.
