Eckels Orthodontics wants you to feel right at home from the time you enter our doors. Your comfort is very important to us! Here is what you can expect at your complimentary examination with Eckels Orthodontics.
You will be greeted by one of our friendly office staff who will gladly assist you through the check-in process on our computerized patient check-in system. They will collect your completed Patient History Form, your insurance information, as well as any x-rays that your dentist may have provided for you. Please make yourself comfortable in our reception area: equipped with a flat screen TV, video game system and a variety of reading materials. Make sure to look at a copy of Eckels Orthodontics Before & After to see the amazing photos of our very own patients!
Next, you will meet with one of our Treatment Coordinators. She will review your personal information, health history, and your chief concerns with your teeth or smile. She will assist Dr. Eckels as he provides you with a thorough examination of your face, mouth, teeth, and jaws to determine whether you can benefit from orthodontic treatment and, if so, when treatment should begin. We will gladly answer any questions that you may have concerning orthodontic treatment and provide you with an estimated fee if treatment is indicated.
If treatment is indicated, you will be scheduled with one of our Diagnostic Records specialists. The first step of orthodontic treatment begins with Diagnostic Records. These records are used as a diagnostic tool to determine the course of your orthodontic treatment. The records include: orthodontic x-rays (cephlametric & panoramic), digital photographs and impressions of your teeth from which plaster replicas are made. All of these tools assist Dr. Eckels in providing each patient with a customized treatment plan. Once you receive your treatment plan, your Treatment Coordinator will answer any questions that you might have concerning treatment, cost of treatment, as well as payment arrangements. You will now be ready to proceed with orthodontic treatment!
You will be seeing a lot of these friendly faces as you enter into the exciting world of orthodontics. Every member of our treatment team is specially trained & certified. All of our orthodontic assistants have years of experience in providing exceptional orthodontic care. Our orthodontic team is exciting, compassionate & caring, and strive to make your orthodontic experience a memorable one! Eckels Orthodontics creates radiant smiles that you will be proud of for a lifetime! Our entire team looks forward to meeting with you soon.
