ProviderSchedule Your First Appointment
First, you'll need to book a consultation and assessment so we can diagnose your condition and discuss your needs. From there, we'll develop a personalized treatment plan that maps out how we will work towards achieving your smile goals.
Fill Out the New Patient Form
Once you've booked your first appointment with us, 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 to save you time when you arrive.
The Consultation Process
The initial consultation and assessment process usually takes about an hour to complete. We look forward to meeting you!
Arrive & Get Settled
We recommend you arrive about 10 minutes early to get settled 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 area. We also have a children's play area with games to help ensure that everyone is occupied while you wait!
We'll then show you to a private, comfortable consultation room, where you can wait for your appointment to begin.
Assessment & Diagnostic Imaging
We'll start the consultation by chatting with you about your concerns and goals for treatment. We'll also take some 'Before' photos of your smile.
Next, we'll conduct a thorough examination. This will include some diagnostic imaging to get a comprehensive picture of your dental health. We'll create a 3D digital image of your teeth using our iTero® scanner. These images will be used down the road to create whatever orthodontic appliance you may need.
We can also use the iTero scanner to perform a digital outcome simulation for you. This will allow you to see how your results may look at the end of treatment!
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 findings from your exam and imaging, our orthodontist will diagnose your condition and develop a customized treatment plan to resolve it and meet your goals. Our treatment coordinator will review this plan with you, and our orthodontist will go over the finer details with you as well.
This plan will include treatment recommendations, a projected timeline for treatment completion, and an appointment schedule.
We'll also discuss a payment game plan for your treatment. This will include your insurance coverage and payment plan should you like to take advantage of that option.
Next Steps
To close off the appointment, we'll talk to you about immediate next steps to get your treatment plan rolling, and schedule your next appointment(s).
We will also answer any questions you have and provide you with advice, guidance, and support - both during your consultation and throughout your entire orthodontic journey.
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 and understand its ins and outs have the best success, and that's our goal for you!
