Consultation
At your first visit, a portion of your diagnostic records are taken to determine the best course of treatment. These diagnostic records typically include a medical/dental history, clinical examination;, and X-rays. This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care.
Orthodontic Appointments
At your next visit, the remainder of your diagnostic records will be taken. This includes plaster study models of the teeth as well as extra and intra-oral photos. The appointment when you get your appliances (braces, expanders, etc.) usually takes from one to two hours You'll then see us at regular intervals four to eight weeks apart for an adjustment, which takes twenty to forty minutes.
Office Hours
Meeting our patients' needs is our priority. That is why we offer flexible before and after school/work appointments. Our regular office hours are Monday through Thursday from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM and Fridays from 9-5.
Customer Service
We take pride in providing the best customer service to our patients. We welcome parents in our treatment area and our average wait time is 1-2 minutes. We annually send our staff to continuing education seminars, in order to keep abreast of the newest techniques in business and clinical dental care.
Orthodontic Treatment Costs
The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient's problem and your insurance carrier. You will be able to discuss fees and payment options during your consultation. We have payment plans to suit different budgets, including no interest payment plans and a no-down-payment option. We also accept assignment from most insurance plans, and file the necessary papers to the insurance company so you don't have to. We work hard to make orthodontics affordable.
In an effort to keep orthodontic fees down while maintaining the highest level of professional care, we offer the following to you:
- If full payment is made at the onset of treatment, we will offer a fee discount. (If you have insurance, we will offer a discount for payment of your portion of the fee that will not be covered by insurance.)
- To fit your individual needs, financial arrangements can be made to extend your payments over the course of treatment time with no interest.
- For your convenience, we accept payment by Visa , MasterCard, Discover, American Express and Care Credit.
Dental Insurance
If you have insurance, we will contact your insurance carrier and inform you of the coverage you have available at your consultation. Our Insurance Coordinator is here to help you throughout your treatment time so you receive your full orthodontic benefit. When necessary, we fight for you, so you don't have to!
