First Visit

At your first visit you will meet Dr. Skibell and he will review your health history and then examine your teeth. The examination involves looking in your mouth to evaluate your tooth and jaw alignment. Dr. Skibell will explain his findings and review the treatment options with you and also the treatment time needed to achieve your new healthy smile.

There is no charge for this consultation visit.

For those who are ready for treatment we will need to have a set of diagnostic models made. At that time one of our assistants will take impressions of your teeth. We will then give you a prescription to the x-ray lab and explain to you the specific treatment plan. There is a $55.00 charge for the diagnostic models.

If by chance you are not ready to begin treatment, the Treatment Coordinator will schedule follow up visits (recall/observation visits) so Dr. Skibell can monitor growth and development in order to start the treatment at the most opportune time. These follow up visits are complimentary.


Please help us be prepared for your first appointment by completing this Patient Information and Medical History.
