About George H Garcia

Thank you for choosing our office! We look forward to meeting with you. In the meantime, here is some information that you will find helpful.

Your first visit with us is called a consultation. During this first visit with us you will meet Dr. Garcia and his staff. The purpose of this visit is to find out what is incorrect with your teeth and/or occlusion (how you bit) and hear the solutions. Both Dr. Garcia and his staff can educate you on what braces can do for you.

The next step is getting the diagnostic records taken for Dr. Garcia to use when working up your personalized treatment plan. We will be taking two radiographs, impressions for study models, and photographs with a digital camera.

The cephalometric radiograph gives Dr. Garcia lots of information such as how your teeth relate to each jaw, how the jaws relate to each other, how your profile is affected by treatment, how growth affects this all and more....

The panoramic radiograph reveals how your teeth are positioned in the bone, how your adult teeth are coming in, if you are issuing any, and the presence of cysts or tumors, etc...

The study models made by the impressions are used by Dr. Garcia to see your teeth in three dimensions even without you here. Make sure you choose the flavor of your impressions from our menu!

We will also be taking facial and intra-oral pictures for our records.

At the end of this visit, we will schedule you for a case presentation. We will explain your treatment.
