Your First Visit to Ensley Orthodontics
Welcome to our practice! We are excited to meet you and start the journey toward your new smile. Your first visit is a chance for us to get to know you and for you to learn about our team, our office, and the orthodontic options available to you. Our goal is to make this initial appointment as informative and comfortable as possible.
What to Expect During Your Complimentary Consultation
Your first appointment is all about you. We reserve this time to perform a thorough examination and discuss your smile goals in a relaxed, no-pressure environment.
Step 1: Welcome & Office Tour
Our friendly team will greet you and give you a tour of our state-of-the-art office in Beaverton. We want you to feel comfortable and at home from the moment you walk through our doors.
Step 2: Comprehensive Exam & Diagnostics
One of our expert orthodontists will conduct a complete exam of your teeth, jaw, and facial structure. We will take digital X-rays and intraoral photos to get a clear picture of your orthodontic needs.
Step 3: Discussing Your Goals
This is your opportunity to tell us what you would like to achieve. We will listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and discuss potential treatment paths.
Step 4: Creating Your Personalized Plan
Based on your exam and goals, our doctor will recommend a personalized treatment plan. We will review the type of treatment (braces or clear aligners), the estimated duration, and provide a clear breakdown of all associated costs.
How to Prepare for Your Appointment
To help us make your first visit as smooth and efficient as possible, please come prepared with the following:
- New Patient Forms: Please complete these online before your visit.
- Insurance Information: Bring your insurance card so we can verify your benefits.
- Medical & Dental History: Be ready to share any relevant health information, including medications you are taking and any known allergies.
Common Questions from New Patients
Does the first consultation cost anything?
No, your initial consultation is completely complimentary. This includes your exam, X-rays, and a personalized treatment discussion with one of our orthodontists.
Will I get braces on my first visit?
It is rare to begin treatment on the same day as your consultation. This first visit is focused on gathering information and creating the right plan for you. However, in some cases, we can accommodate same-day starts for patients who are ready to begin.
How long will the first appointment take?
Please plan for approximately 60 minutes. This gives us ample time to conduct a thorough exam, answer all your questions, and discuss your treatment options without feeling rushed.
Do I need a referral from my dentist?
No, a referral is not necessary. Many of our patients are referred by their family dentist, but you are welcome to schedule a consultation with us directly at any time.
