Digital Imaging

After your initial tour, we’ll use advanced imaging technology — including digital X-rays and on occasion an intraoral scanner — to take some photos of your smile.

Dr. McInnis will use these digital images to evaluate your dental health and get a complete picture of your smile needs.

Orthodontic Exams

After fully examining your smile, Dr. McInnis will complete a thorough oral exam to evaluate your bite firsthand. His findings and your diagnostic records will help him determine if you or your child would benefit from treatment.

Next Steps

After we’ve filled you in on all the other details — including the overall cost, length of treatment, and financing options — we’ll schedule your next appointment, where you’ll receive your braces or clear aligners.

Dr. McInnis also knows how busy life can get, so if you’re ready, we can begin your treatment on the same day as your free consultation.

Custom Treatment Plan

Dr. McInnis will discuss his findings, walk you through his diagnosis, and present the treatment options that will work best for you or your child.

He’ll also answer any of your questions and concerns so you feel comfortable and can make the most informed decision for your family.
