WELCOME
!
The
consultation for orthodontic treatment is free and requires
about 45-60 minutes. We ask that parents come with children
under the age of 18, if at all possible. At this appointment,
we will.
- Describe
the problems & treatment
- Give
you the written cost & payment plan
The doctor will examine you (or your child) and discuss a plan
of treatment that specifically fits your needs. We would
also like to show you some photographs of other patients
with similar problems so that you can see how their treatment
was completed.
When
your questions have been answered, a staff member (a "treatment
coordinator") will cover payment plans, insurance matters,
and appointment scheduling. To begin treatment at this appointment,
a payment will be needed for radiographs & photographs.
Many
patients are not ready for treatment when examined by Dr.
Parsons. In those cases, the patient is placed on a recall
program and the family is sent a reminder in the future
to come back for an orthodontic re-evaluation.
If braces
are needed, the treatment can usually be started at the
next appointment, 1-2 weeks later. This allows Dr. Parsons
time to study your radiographs thoroughly before the appointment.
Our
team of orthodontic professionals recognizes the value of
your time. We make every effort to see you immediately,
thus avoiding the typical wait in a doctor's office. Just
ask our patients. We think
you'll be impressed.
We will
try to make your treatment as convenient and comfortable
as possible. Our orthodontic team looks forward to working
with you.
