Patients can visit our office for a consultation without being referred by a dentist or dental specialist. Often our patients are referred by friends, patients and other family members.
If medical forms have not been previously made out and forwarded to us, the receptionist will provide them to you and assist you with their completion.
The initial consultation will involve an examination of the patient's teeth and bite to determine whether treatment is needed. The type of treatment to achieve a good result will be considered along with the timing of treatment. A general discussion will be held with the patient/parent.
