Start your smile journey with a free consultation with our Specialist Orthodontist, Dr Karim.
What will happen at your appointment?
Every treatment plan at Straight Smiles is 100% unique, but the smile journey always starts the same way – with a free consultation.
You will be given a warm welcome from our friendly reception staff who will make you feel at home. Then, our Treatment Coordinator will walk you through our treatment options and answer any questions you might have.
We will do a thorough assessment of your smile using photos, X-rays, and scans to determine which type of treatment would benefit your smile most.
You will have one-on-one time with Dr Karim where he will lay out the treatment plan he proposes for your smile. This will include a custom timeframe and quote on treatment.
We will give you time to ask questions about your treatment and our flexible payment options. This is a no-obligation consultation, but we can get you signed up for treatment if you are ready to begin!
