Welcome to our office!

Welcome! It would be our pleasure to have you call us for an initial exam. When you call, our clinical coordinator will assist you in making your first appointment. She will get some initial information from you to expedite your visit.
Your initial visit will take about one hour. At this appointment, photographs of the teeth & face and two Xrays are taken. One Xray is a panorex that views all of your teeth, roots, and bone. It is also a good screening film for jaw problems. The other Xray is a cephalometric X ray which enables the doctor to view the skull and jaw structure. This is important in viewing how the teeth and upper and lower jaws relate to one another and in assessing any future growth.In most cases,these Xrays enable the doctor to diagnose and treatment plan your condition at that initial visit. Questions such as How long? and How much? can then be answered at this time. Different treatment options will be discussed at this first visit.
The consultation is free of charge. The cost for the Xrays combined are 100 dollars. We do not charge a separate records fee.
When you walk into our office, your name will be in lights on our message board. Returning patients can automatically check in at the front desk computer screen. This lets the doctor and staff know that you have arrived and limits your waiting time.
You can schedule your appointment by calling us in Rockford at (815) 636-2992, and in Belvidere at (815) 547-7600.
