What to bring
Come with these on hand.
Nothing overwhelming — just a few things that help us make the most of your consultation.
What happens
What happens at the consultation.
Plan on about an hour. A full hour is blocked off, though consultations usually run around 40 minutes depending on how many questions you have and how complex the case is.
-
We say hello and get you settled
We confirm your paperwork is all completed ahead of time, and gather your insurance information if you have not added it yourself.
-
Records
No scan at this visit. We take full diagnostic photographs and two types of x-rays to build your case records.
-
Dr. Sytek examines your bite
She takes a real look and listens to what's bringing you in.
-
You get your options
In plain language, with the honest pros and cons of each.
-
We talk cost and financing
You leave knowing the exact number for your case and how payment could work.
-
Schedule to get started
If you're ready, we book your start. If you're a candidate for aligners, you could start the same day.
Cost & insurance
The money part, upfront.
We’ll go over cost at your visit and can run a benefits check on your insurance beforehand if you ask. Want to see the ranges first? Everything’s on our Costs & Financing page.

Save time before you arrive.
You can fill out your new-patient paperwork before your visit, so your first appointment is spent with Dr. Sytek and not with a clipboard.
New patients are sent a welcome email from OrthoFi with instructions to create an account, complete their new-patient paperwork and upload insurance documents. Payment plans live there too.
