Welcome to Friday focus my name is Dr. O
from E & S Orthodontics and I wanted to wish everyone a
happy valentine's day and I hope you had a great
valentine's day this week and you spent some time
um with your
Special someone I know I had the great
opportunity to spend some time with my wife and I
actually was she was so shocked I actually made
reservations for dinner
but this time around and ended up
having
the opportunity to go to a place
not wait for uh my seat so that was just
absolutely wonderful... so today we're gonna
be talking about is if you're considering doing
orthodontic treatment what would your first
visit would look like and so
So the process is gonna look like this um the first thing
you gotta do is you actually have to schedule
your complimentary consultation and so once you
schedule your complimentary
consultation then what will happen is one of my
team members will
either email you or they're gonna mail out um
some forms that you're gonna fill out and we'd
like you to fill out those forms before you come
in for your appointment
and that creates the reason we want that is
because it
it actually
speeds up your appointment and you actually can
spend less time in the office I know everyone has
a busy schedule
so once you come in
on the day of your appointment you gonna come in
to the office and bring your paperwork if you
haven't filled out that paperwork them
Give you a couple of minutes to fill out the
paperwork uh and then if the appointments for you
or for your child
we're gonna take you or your child back into the
office and we're gonna give you an office tour
introduce you to members of our team
and then
I thought we're gonna actually take some xrays
we're gonna take some photographs and we're gonna
take really gather as much information about you
and your story so that we can figure out what the
best treatment um will be for you
and so
what will happen is you're gonna after the x rays
and all that's
you're gonna actually meet with one of our great
treatment coordinators
and they're gonna find out what your uh chief
concern is are what brings you into our office
and so then they're gonna share that with us
uh me and Dr. S
and then we're gonna take
some time to go over the x rays
your pictures and determine
what would be the best way to achieve um your
goals
And really the smile you know you'll be proud of
and happy for the rest of
your life both aesthetically and functionally
um so what's gonna happen is we're gonna go
through that and we're gonna come
out with a couple outcomes
One: We're gonna determine whether you're ready for
treatment
Two:
you may not need treatment moment or time uh in the
third outcome is sometimes we'll delay treatment
knowing that some other dental work needs to be
complete or some other things might be
We might need to take care of before the
orthodontic treatment starts
so those are usually the typical outcomes...
Either you need treatment and you can start
you can
or you don't need treatment or third is..
treatment is needed but you'll have to start at a
later date and so one of the things that we try
to do in our office that's
very unique to us
is we if you're ready for treatment and you wanna
start treatment we usually allowed some time
for you
Get your braces or Invisalign impressions done on the
same day so that's something that can benefit
you because it saves
time from having to take off work or
bring the kid taking the kids out of school and
we can just get that appointment done
right then and there um
so once we get that accomplished
In that process we have created a custom
treatment plan for you and then it's our
job to carry that out and so really
That in a nutshell covers
what happens during that first appointment of
yours so listen in order to have the first
appointment schedule the exam so if you have
someone um or a friend who'd wants to schedule
an orthodontic consultation see what
possibilities are there in terms of trying to
give you a great smile um that's something that
we'd love to share
our time with you and serve you that way
so listen have a great weekend
if you have any questions about your first visit
go to our website or give us a call talk to one
of our team members and we will see you next week
at the next Friday Focus
