Your dentist may have recommended you or your child seek an evaluation for orthodontic treatment. You may have been referred by one of our patients currently in treatment. Or you may have decided on your own that you would like a beautiful, healthy smile and wanted to obtain more answers. Whatever your reason we welcome the opportunity to serve you and welcome you to our office.

When you come into our office for the first time you will be greeted by one of our front office staff. We will give you some initial paperwork to fill out in preparation of your meeting with the doctor.

While you are waiting kids of all ages can keep themselves occupied in our Kid's Area. We have Game Boys, DVD's, books, puzzles, stuffed animals to keep kids entertained while they are waiting, or if brother or sister are being treated.

Once you have been brought back to the examination room where we will review your medical history. Every patient will receive a complementary comprehensive orthodontic examination from the doctor to determine the complete orthodontic status of your mouth.

After the doctor has had the opportunity to thoroughly evaluate your findings you will meet one-on-one for a private consultation and discuss your proposed treatment options. We place great emphasis on educating our patients on the orthodontic process. During this discussion the doctor will give his treatment recommendations, discuss costs of the proposed treatment, as well as give you the opportunity to ask questions of the doctor as well as any other questions you may have.

After your private consultation with the doctor you will meet with our business office where we can answer any financial questions you have, check insurance coverage, as well as scheduling your treatment. We offer many payment choices and will work with you to help make the best arrangements possible.

Because your general dental health is so important to us, every orthodontic patient will receive a free Sonicare toothbrush for use at home. In addition, one week after your braces are put on we will bring you back in for a free fluoride varnish to prevent any decalcifications and decay. This is especially important as Spokane is a non-fluoridated community and patients growing up here are at higher risk for decalcification and decay.
