Your first orthodontic visit in Humble, Texas
We look forward to meeting you on your first visit to our Humble orthodontic office. We will help you get acquainted with our office and learn about our orthodontic treatment options for all ages during this time.
We understand each patient’s orthodontic treatment is unique, and we promise to give you or your child the personal attention you deserve. The complimentary first visit will include a comprehensive initial examination, where we will take diagnostic records. This will allow Dr. Quentel, your Humble orthodontist, to determine if you or your child is a candidate for treatment and if this is the right time to begin treatment. After we have taken records and evaluated them, we will discuss potential treatment options and explain all aspects of the proposed orthodontic treatment plan in detail.
We will provide a complete clinical diagnosis regarding the nature of the problem, a written summary of the findings and a detailed plan that outlines the treatment, goals and estimated costs.
Open communication
We believe that good orthodontic care begins with open communication. We promise to speak candidly with you about our diagnosis, recommendations, alternative treatments and any symptoms that may require further treatment. Working together, we can achieve a true partnership, with one common goal – helping you or your child achieve a beautiful, confident smile! We encourage questions from both the patient and parents of patients, and as such, we provide ample time to answer your questions.
During your first visit, we will address these questions covering the basics of orthodontic treatment:
- Is there a condition that orthodontics can address?
- Is orthodontic treatment needed now or should it be delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption or other factors have occurred?
- What orthodontic treatment procedures will be used to correct the problem?
- Do any permanent teeth need to be removed before orthodontic treatment?
- How long will orthodontic treatment take?
- How much will orthodontic treatment cost?
- What are my payment options?
