So you’re preparing for your first orthodontic appointment ever – how exciting! You’re about to embark on a life-changing journey with Dr. Senties and our experienced team at Senties Family Orthodontics.
But first, you may be wondering “what happens at your first orthodontic appointment?”
We’re here to break it all down – no surprises or unexpected plot twists. We want you to feel comfortable and prepared for your complimentary consultation with us in San Antonio, so you can enjoy it to the fullest.
Here are 3 things you can expect to experience at your first orthodontic exam:
1. Dr. Senties will examine your current smile!
When you first visit our office, Dr. Senties will become your orthodontist. You’ll meet your orthodontist and get to know a little bit about each other!
Dr. Senties will perform a visual exam of your smile, then take some diagnostic x-rays and photos to gain the full picture of your teeth, gums and jaw bones.
Dr. Senties will use all of this information, from your visual exam, x-rays and photographs, to create your personalized treatment plan!
2. You’ll choose a treatment!
At your orthodontic exam, we’ll help you explore your treatment options so you can choose the best one for you. Dr. Senties will discuss the pros and cons of braces, Invisalign, and/or any orthodontic appliances that may help you achieve your ideal smile, and he will determine whether a full treatment of braces, Invisalign, or any other appliance is best for your case.
The best treatment option for you will depend on a few factors, including your specific condition, the severity of your condition, your age, and of course, your preferences. We’ll listen to your concerns and talk about your lifestyle to help you decide between treatment options
If you’re interested in braces, we offer different kinds! Choose from traditional metal braces or clear ceramic braces.
3. We’ll create a payment plan that suits your needs.
We’ll talk about finances too. Before you start treatment, you’ll sit down with one of our team members to discuss the cost of treatment. We’ll present our financial options to you, and discuss our affordable financing option with Sunbit financing.
The cost of your treatment will depend on a few things, including the length of your treatment plan and the type of treatment required. From here, we’ll also calculate your dental insurance benefit if you have insurance! We’re proud to accept most insurances and our team is happy to submit your insurance claims for you, so you can receive the maximum benefit.
You’ll hear all of this again at your orthodontic exam too, of course!
