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 and discussion of potential treatment options. This important visit will address your orthodontic needs to determine if this is the proper time to begin treatment.
After we have evaluated your records, we conduct a treatment consultation to explain all aspects of your treatment in detail. 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 your treatment, goals and estimated fees. We encourage questions from both the patient and the parent, and as such, we provide ample time to answer your questions.
Appointments
Patients are seen by appointment only. Please call in advance so we may reserve a time for you. We make every effort to be on time for our patients and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us.
Financial/Insurance
Several factors determine the orthodontic fee. These factors include the severity of the problem, the expected length of treatment and the amount of training and expertise required to correct the existing orthodontic problem. Orthodontic fees are, therefore, determined on an individual basis.
We provide a flexible payment plan to fit the needs of our patients. For your convenience, we offer Visa, MasterCard and other credit card services. We also offer Care Credit Financing and are pleased to offer professional, family and paid in full discounts.
If your insurance policy offers orthodontic coverage, we will help you determine the coverage that you have available. We will make financial arrangements with you for the portion of your fee not covered by insurance.
We are happy to help by filing your insurance claims and handling insurance questions from our office on your behalf. However, your insurance is generally a contract between you and your insurance company, and you are ultimately responsible for the fees.
