What to Expect at Your First Visit

Photos + X-ray
We’ll take some detailed photos and a panoramic X-ray to get a full picture of your teeth and jaw.

Complete Exam + Personalized Plan
Dr. Lisa will go over everything with you and create a treatment plan designed just for you.

Same-Day Start Options
If you’re ready, we can often get you started on the same day.
For patients over 7:
Dr. Lisa requires an additional X-ray called a cephalometric X-ray to see your jaw structure and how your teeth are positioned in your jawbone. This gives us the most complete picture for the best treatment plan for you.
