Welcome to our Office
We are pleased to have you as a new patient! We have prepared this page to familiarize you with our office appointments and to establish a better understanding of how orthodontic treatment begins. Also below you will find a link to our new patient information forms. Please complete these forms and bring them with you upon your first visit to our office.
Examination
Your initial appointment in our office is for a preliminary clinical examination. At this appointment, you will get to meet Dr. Housley and/or Dr. Dobson. One of the doctors will determine the need for orthodontic treatment, advise you of the problems they see, and explain the procedure for records. There is NO FEE for the exam.
Records
If treatment is indicated, diagnostic records are needed so that Dr. Housley and/or Dr. Dobson may study your case and determine the best treatment plan for correction. Records include impressions of upper and lower teeth for study models, a cephalometric x-ray, a panoramic or full mouth x-ray, and digital imaging. The $295 Records Fee is due at this appointment. If you’re sure you want to begin treatment as soon as possible, please advise us before your exam appointment and we will allow time to take the records.
Conference
After the records are taken and diagnosed, Dr. Housley and/or Dr. Dobson will meet with you to discuss specific treatment plans and options. We will advise you of the fee and the anticipated length of your treatment, and the importance of patient cooperation to ensure the best results. You will also see a video on orthodontic hygiene. There is no charge for the conference; the interpretation of your orthodontic records is included in the records fee.
Thank you for choosing our office! We look forward to meeting you. Please ask questions – we are interested in your concerns.
Financial Options
We offer several treatment financial options. Our monthly “office payment” plan is offered with receipt of a credit report in good standing which we obtain following your written permission.
