ProviderBook Your First Appointment
To get started, you'll need to schedule a consultation with our team so we can assess your orthodontic condition and discuss your needs and goals with you. From there, we will develop a plan for your orthodontic treatment.
Complete New Patient Forms
Once you've got your consultation booked, you'll 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
Your initial consultation will be led by one of our treatment coordinators and will last approximately an hour. During that time, you will get to learn more about our clinic and meet our staff.
Arrive & Get Settled
Try to arrive about 10 minutes early to give yourself time to get settled 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.
When it's time for your appointment, a member of our team will show you to a private consultation room where you can wait for your consultation to begin.
Assessment & Imaging
First, we will start by taking a panoramic X-ray to get a comprehensive picture of your dental health. We'll also take some 'Before Treatment' photos of your smile.
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 perform a digital outcome simulation. This fascinating simulation allows you to see what your smile may look like at the end of treatment!
Depending on the nature of your orthodontic condition, we may also take a panoramic X-ray to provide us with further insights.
Assessment & Your Personalized Treatment Plan
At this point in the process, you'll meet with our treatment coordinator to discuss your health history (if needed).
We will then discuss your concerns and treatment goals with you. Next, we'll conduct a thorough examination and discuss our findings, as well as how they may align with your goals and outcomes.
Based on the exam and findings from the imaging, your 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 personalized plan will include treatment recommendations, a projected timeline for treatment completion, and an appointment schedule.
Our team will 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
To close off the appointment, we'll talk to you about the immediate next steps to get your orthodontic treatment journey started and schedule your next appointment(s).
We will also be more than happy to answer any questions you have and provide you with advice, guidance, and support – both during your consultation and throughout your entire treatment.
We love talking about teeth and will take any opportunity to do so! 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!
