Welcome! Welcome! Our team here at Cold Lake & St. Paul Orthodontics appreciates the opportunity to be your orthodontic provider and we are very eager to meet you and your family.
Straightening teeth and transforming smiles is what we do, and we cannot wait to prove our expertise to you and those you love! Your initial appointment at our office will take approximately 60 minutes. The goal of this visit is to gather important information about your teeth and your bite and to begin to determine what type of orthodontic care might be best for you.
If orthodontic treatment is new to you, we will ensure that all of your questions are answered during your consultation and that you are well informed throughout the recommended treatment. We work with you to evaluate and monitor the dental development of your children. Children who are not ready for orthodontic treatment are followed with complimentary re-evaluation exams to identify the best time to begin any necessary treatment.
At this appointment:
- A review of new patient forms photographs of your face and teeth will be taken.
- Panoramic x-rays and/or an intraoral 3D scan of your teeth may be captured if they are necessary.
- An opportunity will exist to ask preliminary questions about insurance, payment plans, and scheduling.
You will have the opportunity to meet with Dr Arora to learn about his recommendations in detail.
At the end of the your visit, you will be provided with the following information:
- Whether orthodontic treatment is recommended.
- The best time to begin treatment.
- Available treatment options.
- Estimated treatment duration.
- Treatment costs.
We will also explain insurance works in our office and the interest free payment plans that are available to you.
