Your First Visit

What to expect at your free VO Smile Assessment.

Your first visit is a conversation, a 3D scan, and an honest recommendation from Dr. Varble. Here’s exactly what happens, how long it takes, and what you’ll walk away with.

THE PROMISE

Here's what your first visit is and isn't

We’ve all sat through consultations that felt more like sales pitches. Yours won’t be one of those.

What It Is

A real conversation about your smile

  • An honest evaluation by Dr. Varble himself
  • A detailed 3D scan of your teeth and bite
  • A clear answer on whether treatment is needed, now or later
  • A custom plan with timing and cost spelled out
  • Free, every time, no strings attached

What It Is NOT

A sales pitch with high pressure

  • A push to start treatment before you’re ready
  • A recommendation for unnecessary intervention
  • A one-size-fits-all approach
  • A bait-and-switch on the cost of the consultation
  • A wait for someone to call you back with a plan

YOUR VISIT, STEP BY STEP

About 30 minutes from arrival to plan in hand

You’ll meet Dr. Varble, get a full scan and exam, and leave with a clear path forward. Here’s how it flows.

01

Welcome & paperwork

1-3 Minutes

New patients are required to complete all intake forms prior to their scheduled appointment to help ensure a smooth, on-time check-in process. Text reminders are sent to parents/guardians by our front desk team in advance of the visit. Upon check-in, a records technician promptly escorts the patient from the lobby to begin the appointment

02

Digital scan & photos

5 Minutes

Digital scans and photographs are completed by our records technician within the first 8 minutes of the appointment, which includes approximately 3 minutes for the iTero scan itself. Once records are complete, the Treatment Coordinator brings the family into the TC room to discuss any questions or concerns prior to bringing in Dr. Varble.

03

Meet with Dr. Varble

10 minutes

Dr. Varble reviews the iTero scan, facial photographs, and anterior intraoral photo to develop a treatment plan. Dr. Varble discusses the treatment plan with the parents, and addresses any specific questions or concerns before the Treatment Coordinator reviews the treatment plan details with the parent/patient directly.

04

Treatment plan & cost

10 Minutes

The remaining 15 minutes of the appointment are dedicated to a discussion of treatment plan details and cost with the family, led by the Treatment Coordinator. During this time, the TC reviews the treatment plan, financials and insurance, and the expectations required of the patient prior to beginning treatment.

Total time at the office: about 30 minutes

BEFORE YOU COME IN

A few things to bring or have ready

None of this is required to book the visit. But having these ready makes the appointment go smoother and gets you to your treatment plan faster.

Complete the new patient form online

It’s a 5-minute form you can do from your phone. Filling it out ahead of time means you walk in and we’re already set.

Your insurance card (if applicable)

We verify insurance prior to appointments and gather insurance information at time of the New Patient call to ensure an efficient use of time while in the office.

Any recent dental X-rays

If your dentist took panoramic X-rays in the last year, ask them to send them over. Saves us from taking new ones unnecessarily.

Questions written down

Whatever’s been on your mind. We’d rather you ask everything than leave wondering.

WHAT COMES AFTER

Treatment that doesn't take over your schedule.

Once you start with us, most check-ins happen from home. Our DentalMonitoring program lets you scan with your phone weekly, while Dr. Varble personally reviews your progress.

It means about half the office visits of a traditional practice, less time pulled away from school or work, and treatment that fits into the life you already have.
