Let's Make a Plan

Your first free visit is all about understanding what needs to be done to give you a great smile. Plan to spend at least an hour with us, so there's plenty of time for questions.

First, our receptionist will greet you and help you get checked in. Then, you’ll get a tour of the office with our New Patient Coordinator, who’ll also get some more info from you. After that, it's time for some diagnostic work and an exam.

Discover the Possibilities

We'll take pictures of your teeth to get a clear picture of just where they’re at right now. We might also take X-ray images to look beneath your gums. These help us see how your bones, joints, and hidden teeth grow and position.

Sometimes, we might need to take a digital scan of your teeth. Using advanced scanning technology, we’ll capture a precise 3D image of your bite—no messy molds required. This digital model helps us plan your treatment with accuracy and comfort. Don't worry; it's quick and completely painless!

Taking a Closer Look

Once that’s done, our expert team will examine everything carefully. We'll look inside your mouth and ask you questions about your jaw movement, chewing, and swallowing.

All of this helps Dr. Hart make a proper diagnosis and finalize your treatment plan during your first visit.

Exploring Your Options

Once we’ve finished your exam, you’ll get your results. If everything looks good, that's fantastic! But if treatment is needed, we'll let you know.

Sometimes, it's best to start treatment right away, and other times, it's better to wait a little. We might suggest coming back for checkups until it's the perfect time to begin.

At this point, we'll also talk about the cost of treatment and the different ways you can pay for it.

Should you start treatment now, or is it better to wait? Don't worry; we'll give you all the information you need.

We'll talk about the cost of treatment and fill you in on payment plans. And finally, we'll give you an estimate of how long the treatment should take.
