Your first visit
What to expect at your first visit
At your first visit, our goal is to get you acquainted with our office and friendly team members. We’ll give you a tour to show you around, then we’ll begin your orthodontic exam!
We’re proud to be a technologically-advanced practice that offers shorter treatment times, flexible scheduling, virtual care options and extended financing options. We’ll discuss all of these benefits in detail at your first visit.
Next, our highly-experienced doctor will perform a full exam, including x-rays and diagnostic photos at no cost to you.
Your orthodontist will thoroughly assess your current condition, explain the treatment process in detail, and present your best treatment options to you, including the types of braces we offer:
- Traditional metal braces
- Iconix champagne-colored braces
- Clear braces
- SureSmile® clear aligners
- Invisalign® clear aligners
Your chosen treatment plan is ultimately up to you!
If you have orthodontic insurance, our team is happy to file your claims for you to ensure that you receive the maximum benefit. Our treatment coordinator will discuss your financial needs with you and work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget.
When you leave your first visit, you’ll have answers to the following questions:
What sort of orthodontic condition do I have, if any?
When is the best time for me or my child to begin treatment?
What type of treatment is best for my condition?
How long will treatment take?
What will my treatment costs be?
Can I start treatment during my first visit?
Yes, you can! We’re proud to offer same-day braces for patients who don’t want to wait to start treatment. We want your first visit to be as productive and efficient as possible, so if you already know that you want braces, we can get started right away!
Upon request, we will reserve time to start your treatment on the same day as your complimentary consultation.
You can leave your first appointment with metal braces or clear braces on your teeth, or your Invisalign® or SureSmile® scans complete. That means you miss less work and/or school!
If you’re interested in same-day braces or same-day Invisalign® or SureSmile® scans, please let us know when we respond to your appointment request.
Your treatment, your way
The treatment experience is unique at EA Smiles. We’ve found that the best results come from a completely personalized treatment plan, designed to meet your needs and desires, which is why all patients are given the option of choosing between braces or clear aligners – we don’t decide for you!
We offer:
- Dental Monitoring for virtual, at-home check-in appointments after your first in-office visit. No need to leave your couch unless we have to adjust your plan.
- Evening hours for flexible, on-your-time scheduling.
- Extending financing options to make you and your bank account happy.
- Advanced technologies for a faster, more comfortable treatment process.
We monitor your progress on a weekly basis too! We don’t wait 6 weeks to check-in with you like most orthodontists. This enables us to reduce your treatment time for superior results in the shortest amount of time.
