Ask Dr. Doppel: “What should I expect during my initial consultation?”
May 7th, 2012
Great question! Your initial consultation with Dr. Doppel will give you the opportunity to meet our team, learn more about orthodontics, receive a complete initial exam, and find out which treatment options will best meet your needs. During your initial consultation, we will:
Review your dental and medical history forms
Provide a complete oral exam, with X-rays, to determine whether treatment is necessary
Help you create a customized treatment plan
Discuss all financial information, insurance options, and payment plans
During your initial consultation, you’ll probably also have a lot of questions. We want you to be prepared for your appointment and feel in charge of your orthodontic treatment decisions. We will be glad to answer any questions you may have, and we will provide all of the information that you need to determine which treatment is right for you.
We invite you to schedule your initial visit at our downtown Seattle office and let us help you find your most perfect smile!
May is National Teen Self-Esteem Month, from Dr. Doppel
May 1st, 2012
At Dr. Diane Doppel’s office, we know image is everything. At an age when image is so important, the thought of having braces may intensify the already-delicate confidence of today’s teens. Well, May is National Teen Self-Esteem Month, and during this time, parents are encouraged to act as positive role models, help stop negative self-images, and improve confidence and security among teenagers.
One of the great ways to improve your confidence is to improve your smile. And that begins with a consultation with Dr. Doppel. After all, what better time to avoid having crooked teeth in your adulthood?
We invite you to give us a call to schedule a consultation or ask us on Facebook!
How “green” is Dr. Doppel’s office?
April 23rd, 2012
We are living in an age with a renewed commitment to conservation, and are frequently reminded to recycle, reduce and reuse. Sunday marked Earth Day, so today we thought we would discuss some of the things we do to conserve our natural resources and the environment.
Our office is digitalized, which means we can operate without the use of large amounts of paper and printing materials. The information in our office can be sent and processed digitally, which is also more efficient. We take all of the steps possible to be a ‘green’ office, making us better for the planet and more convenient for our patients.
We would love to hear how you minimize your impact on the environment. Leave us a comment below or post on our Facebook page!
