Your First Visit

The purpose of this initial visit is to provide a thorough examination and to discuss any necessary treatment recommendations.  The doctor will point out any existing or potential bite problems and will illustrate how they are best solved.  It will be an opportunity to become acquainted and to have your questions answered.  You should allow 45 minutes for this appointment.  Most of the time will be spent one-on-one with the doctor.

To save time during your initial appointment, our new patient form can be downloaded here and completed beforehand.  The more thoroughly you fill it out, the better equipped we will be to answer your questions.

Cost

The cost of treatment depends on the severity of the patient's problem.  After the examination is finished, the doctor will be able to provide you with an estimate of treatment time and costs.  If you have insurance, please bring your insurance information with you so that we can give you as accurate an estimate as possible. 

There is a $20 exam fee for children and a $40 exam fee for adults.

Insurance

If you have insurance, we will help you determine the extent of your coverage.  We accept assignment from most insurance plans and will file the necessary papers to the insurance company.  We will help in every way we can in filing your claim and in handling insurance issues on your behalf.
