Initial Consultation

For Dr. Gomez, the first step in any treatment plan is listening. During an initial consultation, which lasts under an hour, her primary goal is to find out what changes her prospective patient wishes to achieve. Whether the concern is the overall appearance of the teeth or a specific problem, the patient becomes a working partner in the transformation process. To assess oral health and facial harmony, Dr. Gomez conducts an examination, takes measurements, sends the patient to a lab for x-rays, and makes models of the teeth. After evaluating the information from the examination, models, x-rays and patient input, she will arrive at a specific treatment plan for that individual.

Dr. Gomez, Your Dentist, and You

One of the foundations of orthodontic treatment is good dental hygiene; Dr. Gomez will check with your dentist to be sure you have healthy teeth and gums. Be sure to get a dental checkup and have your teeth cleaned before your orthodontic treatment begins and continue to do this at least every six months during your time with Dr. Gomez. Your dentist, Dr. Gomez, and you are partners in achieving a successful orthodontic experience.
