Common Questions from Patients Like You

Here at Hildebrand Orthodontics we get a lot of great questions from patients. Today we thought that we should share some of the questions we receive, along with our answers to those questions. Remember, we are happy to answer any questions that you may have, so feel free to contact us.

"How will keeping my smile healthy keep me healthy as a whole?"
Brushing, flossing and seeing your dentist regularly keeps your mouth healthy! Seeing an orthodontist by the age of 7 is recommended to get you on the track of having the perfect smile! Having a healthy smile increases self confidence. Brushing and flossing regularly, has also been proven to be healthy for your heart. The healthier you are as a whole- the greater experience you have living your best life each day!

“I have always been afraid of having work done to my teeth, what do you do to ease patients’ fears?”
We have a very friendly staff that gives patients a tour of the office, showing them how orthodontics is done ! We offer the patients a great, family-style atmosphere by providing them with cold drinks, free video games and interactive fun ways to win monthly gift cards and prizes. Our staff is well trained to answer all questions about the comfort and length of treatment, which puts our patients at ease!

“I don’t see a list of insurance companies on your website, so what is the best way I can find out if you work with my insurance provider?”
Your insurance provider will have a website that shows all the doctors that are on your plan. If you are unable to find it, you can always call our office and we will be happy to look that up for you! If you provide your insurance information to us over the phone, we will check on your orthodontic benefits by the time you come in our office for your free consultation to meet with Dr. Hildebrand. We make it easy for you to join our family here at Hildebrand Orthodontics!
