What to Expect at Your Consultation

Prepare for Your Visit

Preparing for your first visit to Puntillo & Crane Orthodontics helps ensure a smooth and productive appointment. Here’s how you can get ready:

• Complete Your Patient Forms in Advance: To save time on the day of your appointment, we encourage you to fill out our new patient forms ahead of time. These forms include your medical history, insurance information, and other details that will help us better understand your needs. You can download and complete them from our website or contact our office for assistance.
• Make a List of Questions or Concerns: This is your opportunity to ask about anything on your mind—treatment options, timelines, costs, or specific concerns about your smile. Writing down your questions beforehand ensures you won’t forget to address them during the consultation.
• Check Your Insurance Information: If you have dental or orthodontic insurance, bring your insurance card and any relevant details. This helps our team verify your coverage and provide a clear estimate of your treatment costs.
• Arrive a Few Minutes Early: Arriving a little early allows you to check in and complete any last-minute paperwork without feeling rushed. It also gives you time to settle in and feel comfortable in our welcoming environment.

Being prepared not only streamlines the process but also helps you get the most out of your first visit. Our team is here to assist you every step of the way!
