The purpose of your first visit to our office is to gather information. First, we want to know what we can do for you. What are your treatment needs and expectations? Secondly, after a thorough examination, we will determine whether or not you (or your child) would benefit from orthodontic treatment.

For a limited time, all initial exams are complimentary and include photos and diagnostic radiographs.

At your first visit, we need for you to fill out a health history form to review with us.   We will send you a welcome letter prior to your examination appointment to our office. 

In order to perform a comprehensive examination, Dr. Kanani will need to gather information about your smile and your teeth. We will:

1. Take digital photographic images of your face and teeth.
2. Perform a physical examination of your teeth and bite.
3. Request that you allow us to take a diagnostic digital radiograph (a panoramic x-ray that exposes patients to 90% less radiation than many conventional radiographs). We will send a copy of this x-ray to your general dentist.

Then, Dr. Kanani and his treatment coordinator will present you with a custom, detailed orthodontic treatment plan that includes length of treatment and a comprehensive fee estimate.

It is our goal to have you leave our office with complete knowledge of how orthodontic treatment would benefit you. We also want you to feel comfortable with your decision to let us provide for your health care needs.
