Office Visits

Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight, and beautiful smile you’ve always wanted. We understand that choosing orthodontic care is a big decision and we compliment you for wanting to improve the way you look and feel.

Our practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure your orthodontic care is rewarding, exciting, and as enjoyable as possible. Dr. Heiner utilizes the latest technology, and offers a variety of safe, gentle, and innovative treatment options to give you the customized, individual care you desire.

Every smile starts with an initial consultation

Your first visit in our office will give you the opportunity to meet Dr. Heiner and his team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete examination, and find out which treatment options bests suits your situation. During your initial consultation, we will:

Review your dental and medical history forms
Perform a complete oral exam, with X-rays, to determine whether treatment is necessary
Help you create a customized treatment plan
Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans

Our team will be glad to answer any questions you may have, and we will provide all the information you need to determine which treatment is right for you. Please contact our practice to schedule your initial consultation.

What happens after the initial consultation?

You’re one step closer to achieving the smile you’ve always wanted! After your consultation, we will schedule your first appointment and Dr. Heiner will place your new orthodontic appliance. This appointment generally takes about an hour, and during this time our team will be available to make sure you are as comfortable as possible.

Scheduling Appointments

Visiting our office about every six to ten weeks is an important part of your orthodontic treatment. Our practice will work with you to make sure your appointments are as convenient as possible. When scheduling appointments, please let us know which days and times work best for you.

We understand that “life happens”! 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, contact our practice and our friendly scheduling coordinator will assist you. 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 for teeth cleanings and routine dental checkups, even during your orthodontic treatment. If extra dental care is needed, we will be happy to coordinate with your family dentist to make sure you receive the best possible care.
