What to Expect at Your Complimentary Consultation
Your first visit is designed to help you understand your smile and explore your treatment options. During your first appointment, Dr. Jeffrey Barlow or Dr. Andrew Benfield will:
- Evaluate your teeth and bite
- Discuss your concerns and smile goals
- Review treatment options
- Anser your questions
- Explain estimated treatment timing
- Review financial and payment options
Our goal is to provide honest recommendations and help you make an informed decision about your orthodontic care.
What happens after the initial consultation?
You’re one step closer to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted! After your consultation, we will schedule your first appointment and the doctors will place your new orthodontic appliances. This appointment generally takes about an hour and a half, and during this time our team will be available to make sure you are as comfortable as possible.
Scheduling Appointments
Visiting our office about every six to ten weeks is an essential part of your orthodontic treatment. Our practice will work with you to make sure your appointments are as convenient as possible. When scheduling appointments, please let us know which days and times work best for you.
We understand that “life happens”! If you’re running late or need to reschedule, please let us know and we will do everything we can to accommodate you. When you’re ready to schedule your first appointment, contact our practice and our friendly scheduling coordinator will assist you. We’re looking forward to working with you.
Visiting the dentist during orthodontic treatment
It is vital that you continue to visit your family dentist once every six months for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups, even during your orthodontic treatment. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure you receive the best possible care.
