A beautiful smile is only part of the story. We are just as committed to creating an experience that feels warm, organized, and easy to navigate, starting with your first visit and continuing through every stage of care.
Your first visit is designed to be informative, comfortable, and reassuring from start to finish. It is our chance to get to know you, learn more about your goals and concerns, and begin building a treatment plan that feels right for you. Whether you are visiting for yourself or for your child, we want you to feel confident, cared for, and fully informed about what comes next.
From the moment you walk through our doors, our team will be there to welcome you and guide you through each step of the appointment. We take time to explain the process, answer your questions, and make sure nothing feels confusing or overwhelming. Our goal is not just to evaluate your smile, but to give you a clear understanding of your options and help you feel comfortable every step of the way.
We’ll begin with a little paperwork to help us get to know you and gather the information we need before your appointment begins.
Next, we’ll take a quick digital X-ray to give Dr. Bailey a clear, detailed view of your teeth, bite, and overall orthodontic needs.
We’ll take a few photos of your smile and teeth to help document your starting point and give Dr. Bailey a complete picture during your exam.
Dr. Bailey will take time to evaluate your smile, bite, facial balance, and the space available for your teeth, while also listening closely to your concerns and goals.
Once the exam is complete, we’ll walk you through any treatment recommendations, answer your questions, and review fees, insurance, and payment options in a relaxed, no-pressure way.

We believe exceptional orthodontic care should feel both accessible and thoughtfully guided. Because every smile is different, the cost of treatment is based on Dr. Bailey’s clinical evaluation, your personalized treatment plan, and the estimated length of care.
Our goal is to make the financial side of treatment feel clear, comfortable, and easy to navigate. From your first consultation, our team will take the time to walk you through fees, explain your options, and answer any questions along the way, so you can move forward with confidence.
For your convenience, we offer a range of payment options, including cash, check, credit cards, debit cards, and automatic payment processing through Orthobanc. We also provide interest-free financing through automatic withdrawal, payment-in-full options, and HSA or FSA card processing when permitted by your plan.
For families with more than one patient in treatment, we also offer preferred family pricing to help make care even more manageable.
If you have dental insurance, our team is here to help you make the most of your benefits. We will file your insurance claims on your behalf and work diligently to help you receive the maximum reimbursement available under your plan.
At every step, our commitment is to make the process feel as supportive and seamless as the care itself.
