Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy,
straight, beautiful smile that you've always wanted. We understand that choosing
to receive orthodontic care is a big decision, and
we
respect your reasons for wanting to improve the way you look and feel. Our
practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your
orthodontic care is as comfortable, convenient, and rewarding as possible. We'll
use the latest technology, offering a variety of safe and gentle treatment
options, giving you the customized, individual care that you deserve.
Every smile starts with a complimentary consultation!
Your complimentary consultation will give you the opportunity to meet our team,
as well as, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete initial exam, and
find out which treatment options will best meet your needs. During your
complimentary consultation, Dr. Amer will:
- Review your dental and medical history forms.
- Provide a complete oral exam, with X-rays, to determine if treatment is
necessary.
- Help you create a customized treatment plan.
- Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans.
During your complimentary consultation, we will explain everything that you will
need to know about your orthodontic treatment, so that you can choose what's
best for you – no strings attached. If you'd like to schedule a complimentary
consultation with Dr. Amer, please call (831) 426-6550.
What happens after the initial consultation?
If you do choose to receive orthodontic treatment, you will need to schedule
your first appointment. Your first appointment is when Dr. Amer will place your
new orthodontic appliance. Typically, this appointment is no longer than one
hour, and then you're on your way toward your new smile!
Scheduling Appointments
Visiting the orthodontist every 4-8 weeks is an important part of your
orthodontic treatment. Regular checkups last between 20-40 minutes. Our practice
will work with you to make sure that your appointments are scheduled around your
busy schedule; so that you will spend less time in the dental chair, and more
time enjoying the things you love to do.
We understand that "life happens," so if you're running late or need to
reschedule, please let us know, and we will do everything we can to accommodate
you. When you're ready to schedule your first appointment, call our practice at
(831) 426-6550; we're looking forward to working with you.
Visiting the dentist during orthodontic treatment
It is very important that you continue to visit your family dentist once every
six months, even during your orthodontic treatment, for teeth cleanings and
routine dental checkups. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to
coordinate with your family dentist to make sure that you are receiving the best
care possible.
