Patient Resources
Our goal is to make sure we offer our patients the best treatment, the most orthodontic options, the latest technologies and techniques and the highest degree of comfort and enjoyment.
We are always excited about meeting new patients during their first visit to our office.
We are always excited about meeting new patients during their first visit to our office. Your initial appointment will consist of a thorough examination and a discussion of potential treatment options. This important 40 to 50 minute visit will give us insight into your orthodontic needs. Two digital X-rays will be taken at this first appointment that Dr. Barlow uses to accurately diagnose and treatment plan. During the initial examination for each patient, we will address the following questions that cover the basics of orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions as well.
After this initial discussion about your orthodontic needs, we will schedule a records appointment to complete financial paperwork, shoot digital photos and gather dental impressions.
