Question 1

Do you offer same-day starts after a consultation?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, yes. If you're ready and your treatment plan is clear, we can often schedule your start appointment soon after your initial visit. Our team will walk you through timing based on your needs.

Question 2

Can I continue treatment if I started braces or Invisalign in another city?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We regularly help patients transferring to Kent continue their care - we'll review your current progress and create a plan to keep everything moving smoothly.

Question 3

Are virtual or remote check-ins available?

Accepted Answer

Some parts of treatment can be monitored digitally, depending on your case, which can reduce in-office visits while keeping your progress on track. See our virtual treatment page.

Question 4

What happens if I miss an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Missing a visit may slightly delay progress, especially if adjustments were due. It's best to reschedule as soon as possible so your treatment stays on schedule.

Can treatment fit a busy work or school schedule?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most visits are short and planned in advance, and our team works around your schedule to keep appointments convenient.

Can I get a second opinion before starting?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Many patients seek a second opinion to feel confident, and we're glad to provide a clear, honest evaluation.

Question 7

Do you treat patients with previous dental work?

Brushing, flossing, and regular dental visits are essential. See our guide to caring for your braces for tips that keep teeth and gums healthy throughout treatment.
