You want your teeth straightened and you have decided that the procedure that best suits your needs is Invisalign. Now for the sometime daunting task of finding the right Invisalign specialist in the West Vancouver area.
Things to consider in your search for the right specialist:
Convenience.
Consider location with respect to getting to your appointments. Is the office well located for meeting your needs? Is there adequate parking? Can you travel there on public transportation if necessary?
Office Hours.
If you need to make appointments on specific days during a specific set of hours make sure that the specialist that you are considering is open on the days and during the hours that you require.
Insurance.
Does the specialist that you are considering take your insurance? If you do not have insurance, will you be allowed to arrange a payment schedule? Even if you have insurance and the office takes your insurance, remember that it is likely that only a portion of the work will be covered.
Preliminary Consultation.
Does the doctor that you are considering offer a free preliminary consultation? How long is it and what does the consultation cover? During this initial consultation you will be able to assess your comfort level with the person you are considering. You want all your questions answered satisfactorily and you want to feel confident that this is the best person for you.
Length of Treatment.
It is important to understand how long your treatment will take and what you can expect at the various stages of treatment. It is also important to feel absolutely at home with the person who will be treating you over this period of time.
Also consider how comfortable and confident you are with the support staff in the office you are considering.
