We are always excited to meet new patients! Your first visit begins with a comprehensive oral evaluation. Our team will develop a treatment plan to help you achieve and maintain a healthy smile. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have about treatment options during your visit.
We are always excited to meet new patients! During your initial consultation at Eppard Orthodontics, Dr. Eppard will discuss your motivation and goals for seeking orthodontic treatment. Our team will review any x-rays and notes provided by your dentist and will create images of your teeth and the surrounding tissues using cameras and x-rays to help determine if orthodontic treatment is indicated. We will then present your diagnosis and recommend treatment options, working to develop a plan that best fits your individual needs. We will discuss treatment options and timelines, as well as costs and payment options for any proposed treatments.
Once your treatment plan and financial arrangements have been determined, we will schedule the first series of appointments to begin orthodontic treatment and will provide you with an estimated timeline for future visits. Your first appointment generally takes about 1 hour. After this appointment, you will return for adjustments and evaluations every 4-6 weeks. These appointments will only take 30 minutes and can be scheduled throughout the day.
When you come in for your initial consultation, please be sure to bring your insurance card (if applicable) and arrive early to fill out our initial paperwork if you have not already done so.
We always look forward to meeting new patients and our goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible! Every patient is unique and our experienced team is committed to providing high-quality care based on your customized treatment plan.
Reminders regarding your first visit:
- Bring your dental insurance card to your appointment
- Provide any written referral or x-rays that your dentist may have provided
- Patients under the age of 18 should be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian
- Inform our office if you have a medical condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, rheumatic fever, artificial joints or heart valves, etc…
We look forward to seeing you in our office and showing you how orthodontic care can enhance your dental health and overall wellness. We want you to have the confidence to share your smile with the world!
