Your First Visit

We’re excited to meet you! Here’s everything you need to know about your complimentary consultation.

What to Expect

Our consultations with CBCT and Pano’s for Children 18 and under are complimentary.

Getting to Know You

We'll start by learning about your smile goals, dental history, and any concerns you may have. This conversation helps us understand what matters most to you.

Comprehensive Examination

We'll take digital photos, X-rays, and use our 3D imaging technology to get a complete picture of your teeth, bite, and jaw alignment.

Treatment Discussion

Dr. Bales or Dr. King will review your options, explain the recommended treatment plan, and show you what your results could look like.

Timeline & Investment

You'll receive a clear breakdown of treatment timeline, costs, insurance coverage, and flexible payment options—all with complete transparency.

What to Bring

To make the most of your visit, please bring the following items:
  • Insurance Information: Your dental insurance card (if applicable) so we can verify your benefits
  • Dental Records: Any recent X-rays or dental records from your general dentist (if available)
  • Photo ID: A valid driver’s license or identification card
  • Patient Forms: Complete our online forms before your visit to save time (or arrive 10 minutes early to complete them)
  • Questions: A list of any questions or concerns you’d like to discuss

For Parents & Guardians

If you’re bringing a child or teen for their first visit, we encourage you to accompany them throughout the appointment. We’ll make sure to explain everything in age-appropriate terms and answer all questions from both you and your child.

We want your child to feel comfortable and excited about their orthodontic journey, and we’ll take the time to ensure everyone understands the recommended treatment plan.
