You’ll be welcomed by our team, complete necessary forms, and receive a detailed exam to create your personalized treatment plan.
Complimentary Consultation

If you’re not yet ready for treatment, we’re happy to schedule complimentary observation visits to monitor your growth and development. Please allow about one hour for your consultation so we can answer all your questions and ensure you feel fully informed.
Getting Started
Planning Your Best Smile
At your first visit, we’ll evaluate what treatment is needed and whether it’s best to begin now or later. We start by taking clear high-quality photos to see the structures of your teeth and jaws.
Digital Scans
To fully understand your bite, we may take digital scans. Using advanced scanning technology, we can create an exact 3D replica of your teeth to design a precise, personalized treatment plan.
Comprehensive Exam
Next, we’ll review your records and perform a detailed examination. We may ask about jaw sounds, chewing, or swallowing difficulties to ensure a thorough diagnosis. This helps us finalize a treatment plan tailored specifically to your needs.
Discussing Your Options
After the exam, we’ll discuss your results and treatment recommendations. You’ll learn about available options, timing, costs, and payment plans. Whether treatment starts now or later, we’ll make sure all your questions are answered so you can move forward with confidence.
