Your First Visit Irving, TX

First Visit

We are always excited about meeting new patients. Our objective is to make your visits with us pleasant and informative. This important visit will address the orthodontic needs of your child and is complimentary. Please allow 90 minutes for this examination. We require that both the patient and parent are present (if patient is a minor) so that the objectives, methods, and duration of treatment may be discussed. Your first visit will include a thorough exam by Dr Prasad, after which she will give you an individualized treatment plan and will be able to answer the following questions:

• Is treatment needed now or should it wait for appropriate growth, tooth eruption or other factors?
• What procedures will be used to correct the problems?
• Do any teeth need to be removed?
• Are there different options for treatment?
• How long will the treatment take?
• What is the cost of treatment?
• What are the different payment options available?

If treatment is indicated at this time, Dr. Prasad will discuss treatment options and answer any questions you may have. You can be sure that the treatment plan Dr. Prasad presents to you will be for the same treatment she would use to achieve excellent results on her own children and family.

• After your initial exam, Dr. Prasad sends a personal diagnostic letter to your general dentist to inform him or her of our findings and treatment recommendations.
• We offer affordable payment arrangements and insurance billing services that maximize your insurance on a monthly basis.
• We give options of clear, fixed, removable retainers.
• Dr. Prasad treats each patient with individual care and attention.
• Our mission is to provide high-quality orthodontic care in a lively, fun atmosphere.
• We operate as a team.
• We hold fun monthly contests with cool giveaway prizes (all we have to do is draw your name)!
• We provide before-and-after keepsake photos at the end of your treatment.
• Our office regularly trains and continues to adopt advanced technologies. We are committed to offering the best of the treatment methods currently available.
• We offer a choice of clear or stainless steel braces. Invisalign® is an option for mature teens and adults in many cases. Lingual braces are an option for athletes, musicians or for people who like their braces to be hidden.
• We want to know that all of our patients are comfortable with the treatment as well as the office. Since this is a team effort, we welcome questions or concerns regarding your child’s orthodontic care.

Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your first visit:

• A list of medications you are presently taking.
• If you have dental insurance, please bring the necessary paperwork. This will save time and allow us to help you process any claims.
• Completed online or printed patient registration forms.

Please alert the office if you have a medical condition that may be of concern (i.e. allergies, diabetes, high blood pressure, artificial heart valves and joints, rheumatic fever, etc.) or if you are on any medication (i.e. heart medications, aspirin, anticoagulant therapy, etc.)
