New Patients

Anyone can be treated at our clinical facility. Please call our appointment desk at (804) 828-0843, and we will arrange a convenient time for a consultation appointment. At this appointment an orthodontist will examine you and advise you as to the need for treatment, the timing of treatment and the options available for treatment. Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at this appointment. Fees also will be discussed and a credit check will be performed to determine your eligibility for several extended payment options. There is no charge for this appointment.

A parent or guardian must accompany minors at the first, second and third appointments. This is necessary because we must inform you regarding any planned treatment options and obtain your consent before the treatment can begin.

Our family of patients is composed of people who come directly to us as well as referrals from other dentists, physicians and specialists. Modern braces for adults and children are available. In addition, as a university care center we also have active interdisciplinary programs and provide comprehensive care for orthognathic surgery patients, cleft palate patients and craniofacial growth problems.
