 Your First Visit...
Complimentary Exam At this visit, Dr. Neale will do a clinical exam to determine any treatment needs and outline possible corrective measures. This appointment usually takes one hour and the approximate fee and further procedures will be discussed at this time. We will answer all of your questions and address your concerns and allow plenty of time to get to know you.
Diagnostic Records If comprehensive orthodontic treatment is indicated, additional information is needed such as a Panorex and a Cephalomentric x-ray (digital x-rays of the face and teeth), digital pictures of your face and teeth and impressions for mounted study models. Dr. Neale will use advanced computer technology to assess your teeth, supporting structures and do a computer analysis of your face. This allows him to do a comprehensive work-up to present you your individualized treatment plan.
Consultation After Dr. Neale has completed your comprehensive work- up, we will meet with you to discuss, in full detail your treatment steps. Additionally, at this appointment, if you prefer, we will
schedule enough clinical time for you to get started with your treatment and payment plan.
Your Treatment Once your treatment has started, we will schedule your active adjustments every 8- 10 weeks. With the advanced technology of the Damon System that we offer you, the teeth move more efficiently, faster and require fewer adjustments. As a result, your appointments will usually be shorter and less in number. In order to serve all of our patients in the most efficient way possible, lengthy procedures such as bondings and removal of the braces are scheduled in the mornings and shorter appointments such as active adjustments are scheduled in the afternoon. We will gladly give you an excuse, with the required information if school or work is missed because of your appointment.
Our office hours are Monday - Thursday 8:00 am - 5:00pm and closed for lunch between 12pm - 1:15pm.
Please give us 24 hours notice if you need to reschedule your appointment.
