First Orthodontic Visit

Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step towards a beautiful and confident smile by making a consultation appointment with Dr. Lee.

Next Step

Now What

Your first appointment with Dr. Lee will last between 30 and 45 minutes. When you arrive at our office, you’ll be greeted by our friendly staff and asked to fill out a patient information/medical and dental history form. Please come five to 10 minutes early so you have time to complete it.

Once you’ve finished the paperwork, Dr. Lee will conduct a thorough clinical examination of extra-oral (facial) and intra-oral (mouth) conditions. Diagnostic x-rays can be taken if needed so Dr. Lee can analyze them.

Dr. Lee will listen to your main concerns and answer any questions you may have. He’ll fill you on his exam findings and discuss how he can improve your teeth alignment, bite and smile esthetics. Our treatment coordinator will discuss cost, insurance coverage, our in-office, no-interest financing and payment options, as well as outline what to expect with your treatment. You’ll leave feeling confident in your choices.

Think of all of Your Questions and Concerns About Your Teeth and Braces Treatment

It’s helpful to make a list of your questions and concerns about your teeth alignment or bite problems and treatments. Dr. Lee welcomes questions and really listens. He will explain all of the treatment options in detail so you can understand what is involved and what you can expect from each one.

Insurance

Call your insurance company prior to your visit and get some details about coverage so we can give you an accurate breakdown of the fees at your consultation. You’ll want to ask your insurance company the following questions:

- Does my plan cover orthodontic treatment?
- What is the percentage of the coverage? What is the limit?
- Do you accept assignment (can the dental office bill the insurance directly)?
- Is there an age limit?

New Patient Forms

If you can, fill out new patient form prior to your visit.

Kid Treatment

Your little one still has their adorable baby teeth so you have years before it’s time to visit an orthodontist, right? Nope. The American Associations of Orthodontists recommend children see an orthodontist no later than seven-years-old.

My son is 4 and he cries at the drop of a hat, so needless to say i was a bit worried. But Dr. Choi spoke to my son in such a gentle and fun way that before my son knew what was going on Dr. Choi was done.

Amazing experience today with Dr. Lee. I always wanted braces as a child but couldn't and assumed Invisalign was out of my price range as an adult. Working with the outstanding team, I realized I could fulfill my life long dream of braces and stay within my budget! So excited to continue working with the amazing team here to get the smile I have always wanted!!

Dr. Choi is very good with the kids and thorough. He explains things clearly and also gives many suggestions not only for current treatment, but also for the futures. My son has his chipped tooth extracted. The gave him laughing gas and watch movie while extracting his tooth. Everything went very well and quick.

After countless consultations and research I found Dr. Lee and I'm so glad that I did. Dr. Lee and his team are super friendly and very knowledgeable, they made me feel incredibly confident about my smile even with my metal braces. As he has advised me during my initial consultation, orthodontic treatment only took me 13 months and I am now braces free! =D. If you are looking for a great orthodontist, don't look anywhere else.

Took our daughter here for her first dentist visit. The office was super kid friendly, plenty of toys. The staff even came out and put on Frozen to make her feel more at ease and comfortable. Dr. Choi was friendly and patient with our little one even when she feared to sit in the seat alone. He explained the benefits to both us of brushing and even flossing at such at young age as well as even sang a little song 🙂 Would highly recommend Jericho smiles!
