Complimentary Examination!
We look forward to meeting you on your first visit to our office. During this time, we will help you get acquainted with our office and learn about your orthodontic treatment. We understand that each patient's orthodontic treatment is different, and we promise to give you the personal attention you deserve. At the complimentary examination visit, Dr. David B. Hamer will perform a clinical exam and photos will be taken of you or your child's face and teeth. The photos will be used to illustrate all of the orthodontic needs which are apparent without further records (such as x-rays). Dr. Hamer will give his impression of what the treatment will entail, an estimated treatment time, and an exact cost. Options for spreading this fee over the estimated treatment period can be reviewed at this time. With this information and a copy of the photos to take home that day, a decision can be made as to whether to proceed with treatment. The next step would be to complete the accumulation of diagnostic records by supplementing the photos with two x-rays and impressions for plaster models of the patient's teeth. With this information, Dr. Hamer will devise a complete treatment plan to adress all the orthodontic needs.
We encourage questions from both the patient and the parent, and as such, we provide ample time to answer your questions.
