ProviderSchedule Your Free Consultation
To get started, you'll need to book a consultation with our team so that we can do an orthodontic assessment and discuss the needs and goals for your smile or that of your child. From there, we'll develop a personalized plan for orthodontic treatment.
Fill Out the New Patient Form
Now that you've got your consultation booked, 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 help save a little time when you arrive.
The Consultation Process
The initial consultation process usually takes about an hour to complete, and will be led by one of our treatment coordinators. We look forward to meeting you!
Arrive & Get Settled
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by a member of our front reception team. Try to arrive about 10 minutes early so that you have an opportunity to settle in and complete any required paperwork.
While you wait, you can relax in our comfortable reception room and enjoy some refreshments. We have games for kids to keep everyone occupied!
We'll then show you to a private and comfortable consultation room where you can wait for your appointment to begin.
Assessment & Diagnostic Imaging
We'll start the consultation by discussing your concerns and goals for treatment.
Next, we'll conduct a thorough exam.
This will include some imaging to provide us with detailed dental health insights.
Customized Treatment Plan
At this point in the process, you'll meet with our treatment coordinator to discuss your or your child's health history (if needed) and review the imaging, outlining indications for orthodontic treatment.
Based on the exam and the results of the imaging, Dr. Karl will provide a diagnosis and develop a customized treatment plan to resolve the problem and meet your smile goals. Our treatment coordinator will review this plan with you, and we'll go over the finer points 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 insurance coverage and a 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 treatment started, and schedule your next appointment(s).
We will also be more than happy to answer any question you have and provide you with advice, guidance, and support - both during your consultation and throughout your entire orthodontic journey with us.
We love talking about teeth and will take any opportunity to do so! But more importantly, we know that patients and parents who are fully informed about the treatment process and understand its ins and outs have the best success, and that's our goal for you or your child!
