Our office requires appointment confirmation by phone or text 48 hours prior to your appointment. Without this confirmation, your appointment will be cancelled and will need to be rescheduled.
Free Initial Examination and Treatment Plan at Your First Visit
We know your time is valuable. Therefore, we have combined the initial exam, obtaining of X-rays, and presentation of your treatment plan into one appointment. This complimentary visit will review treatment options, establish a treatment fee, review any insurance benefits you may have, and help you determine if orthodontic treatment is right for you.
During the initial examination for each patient, we will address the following questions that cover the basics of orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions as well.
- Is there a condition that orthodontics can address?
- Is treatment needed now or should treatment be delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption or other factors have occurred?
- What treatment procedures will be used to correct the problem?
- Do any permanent teeth need to be removed?
- How long will treatment take?
- How much will it cost?
- What are my payment options?
While we can often answer these general questions about treatment during the initial examination, Dr. Alexander will address specific areas after careful analysis of the diagnostic records. We feel it is important to analyze each patient's specific needs because in-depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction.
