What to expect at your first visit
Our caring team supports you every step of the journey, ensuring you always feel at home with us.
Warm welcome
We're all about making you feel right at home from the moment you step though our doors! Feel free to enjoy a beverage at our refreshment bar before your appointment begins. You won’t be waiting long — Dr. G will call you back in just a few minutes. Our team will be with you every step of the way.
Get to know you
The next step is all about you and your smile goals. Dr. G will take the time to learn your dental history, preferences, and ideal results before guiding you through a detailed exam.
Treatment planning
Once Dr. G has gathered all the data she needs, she’ll present you with a tailored treatment plan. She’ll ensure you are fully informed about each step so you can feel confident about your orthodontic journey.
Insurance-friendly orthodontist
We work with most major pPO dental insurance plans, including Delta Dental, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, United Healthcare, and Blue Cross Blue Shield, and more. Have questions about your plan? Our team is more than happy to help you understand your benefits and file claims on your behalf.
If we're out of network with your plan, we can still usually help: many plans include out-of-network orthodontic benefits, and our in-house payment plans make starting treatment possible either way.
Our financing options
We offer in-house financing at 0% interest, so you pay the the treatment fee and nothing more. Your monthly payment plan is set with you at your consultation, based on your treatment plan, your insurance benefit, and a schedule that fits your budget. In fact, you can estimate your monthly payment with our braces cost calculator. We also accept HSA and FSA funds. Exact terms are laid out in writing at your complimentary consultation, with no obligation to proceed. Book your complimentary consultation today to discover exactly how much your treatment will cost.
