At your first visit, we will help you get acquainted with our office and learn about your orthodontic needs. Your appointment is scheduled for one hour to give us adequate time to answer questions. However, we will gladly arrange a follow-up appointment should you require additional information. Your time is important to us, thus we will provide you with all the necessary information that day. To help us completely determine your orthodontic needs, digital photographs and digital X-rays will be taken. We understand that each patient's treatment is different and we will give you the personal attention you deserve.
Our office utilizes the latest digital imaging technology to diagnose, treatment plan, and present your case. We will present your current orthodontic problems and thoroughly discuss all aspects of your treatment options in detail.
If treatment is indicated, we will discuss with you the steps necessary to begin treatment along with the cost of treatment, insurance coverage, and the available payment options. Our goal is to provide you the necessary information to help you and your family determine if treatment is right for you. Selecting an orthodontist is important, and we will not pressure you into treatment.
Following your consultation, we will provide you with your photos, a written summary of our findings and treatment recommendations, goals, and treatment fees. You will also be given information relating to orthodontic treatment and what to expect while in braces. This valuable, informative appointment is complimentary.
FINANCIAL
Our simple, all-inclusive treatment fee includes all necessary braces and appliances required for treatment, retainers, and retainer follow-ups after your treatment is completed. There are no charges for your records prior to treatment. We have several financing options available:
- In-house payment plan with no interest. Financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments over the duration of treatment.
- We have third-party financing available to cover 100% for the cost of treatment without down payments or prepayment penalties.
- If payment is made in full, there will be a fee discount.
INSURANCE
If you have orthodontic insurance we will help you to determine the coverage you have available. Our office will file all necessary papers and submit your claims. Reimbursement may be directly paid to you or to our office, depending on your preference and your insurance company's policies.
