Office Visits
Complimentary Consultation
At your first visit to our office, Dr. Kawakami will do a clinical examination to determine if treatment is needed. Once it is determined treatment is necessary, an appointment will be made for diagnostic records, which include study models of the teeth, photos of the patient's face & teeth and x-rays. These records are used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient.
Regular Appointments
The appointment when you get your appliances (braces, expanders, etc.) usually takes 1 to 2 hours. You'll then see us at regular intervals 4 to 8 weeks apart for an adjustment, which takes 20 to 40 minutes. Patients are seen by appointment only. We make every effort to be on time for our patients and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately.
