Your first visit to our office will provide us both with valuable information related to your orthodontic goals. Please come prepared with insurance information, dental records, dental x-rays such as a panoramic x-ray, if available, and any questions you may have related to oral health. Dr. Serff will discuss whether treatment is necessary and, if so, the duration, cost and benefits of orthodontic care. In some instances, we may also choose to obtain diagnostic records. A new patient exam usually lasts between 30 - 45 minutes.
