When you arrive a team member will greet you and help you become acquainted with the office. The team member will then start the process by taking pictures as well as x-rays which allow the doctor to get a more detailed view of your teeth.

Once all the pictures and x-rays have been taken, the one of our doctors will sit down with you and ask you to discuss your issues and problems in addition to telling you what problems they noticed while examining your mouth as well as from the x-rays and pictures. Based on the specific issues that you have, on of our orthodontists will be able to suggest various treatment options for you based on what would be most beneficial for you.
