CONGRATULATIONS!

Angelique

Our contest for Back to School Braces was another success story and the lucky winners couldn’t believe it was really happening.  While Angelique was our winner – she isn’t quite ready to begin treatment; however, brother Peter is…so this looks like a winning situation all-the-way around!  Watch for more fun and exciting contests as we continue to bring you the best in orthodontic treatment.

As a standard rule, Orthodontic Coverage is a special coverage that may or may not be included with your Dental Plan.  It is usually a separate benefit to the General Dentistry coverage and the benefits are typical to be 50% of cost UP TO a Lifetime Max.  Each plan max is different and can be as little as $500 up to as much as $3000 (in our year’s of experience this is what we’ve seen.)

If you wonder what we do with those impressions we take of your teeth – here’s a sample of a 3-D Model and see how this technique can better assist Dr Khan with your treatment plan!  morphing-video-front-side

As part of your Records appointment, we will take impressions of your teeth and then have prepared a set of models of your teeth.  These models are then digitally stored and transferred back to our office for Dr Khan’s review and final acceptance.  Digital models help us to be able to maintain your initial records for consideration during your orthodontic treatment.  A completed set of models will also be taken and stored once your treatment is finished.

While our office does not use the specific company / manufacturer mentioned, we do utilize the OrthoCad 3-D digital models, computer based technology for the allocation of brackets and placement through an “indirect” bonding method.  We have seen reduced treatment times in our patients and find that the number of appointments can be reduced with patient compliance.  Call to schedule your FREE Consultation to see what treatment we recommend for you!

We have Options for You! Decide which program works best for your budget:

Springstone Patient Financing is available for treatment from $2,000 and up, with fixed rate payment options as low as 5.99%, no initial payment and no payment for six weeks. (There is also NO prepayment penalty.) Check out their website for additional information!

CareCredit is another source of patient financing for you to consider. Benefits to this program is that you can use the “credit” in any participating medical, dental, vision and other provider offices; as a revolving line of credit you are approved for a specific limit – as you pay down you can reuse anywhere CareCredit is accepted. (Great for families who may be having multiple patients go through orthodontic treatment over a period of years.) CareCredit also has No Interest Payment Plans, and extended length of payment plans to accommodate your budget more easily. Financing is available for treatment in whatever dollar amount you need. Check out their website for additional information!
