New Orthodontic Patient Information Heath
Preparing for Your First Visit

When preparing for your first visit to our office, you do not need to be apprehensive about your appointment. Instead, simply make sure you have completed all the necessary patient paperwork beforehand as well as bring your dental insurance information. This will ensure that your check-in process goes smoothly and seamlessly, allowing us to get you into a treatment room without you having to wait.
Your First Visit

When you come in for your first visit with us at our Heath, Columbus, or Mt. Vernon office, you’ll always be greeted with a smile. Whether the visit is for you or your child, we’ll start by helping you organize your paperwork, and then we’ll take you on a short tour of the office where you’ll get to meet everyone. From there, we’ll take you to the back where Dr. Wigal or Dr. Kluemper will meet you and discuss the purpose of your appointment. From there, they’ll perform a thorough oral examination and discuss your treatment options. This appointment is all about you, so be sure to ask any questions you have. We want you to completely understand your care!
Once you feel that you understand everything our orthodontists have told you, you’ll have a chance to talk about your different financial options with our team. You’ll then be escorted to the front desk to check out and schedule your next appointment.

We know your time is limited, so to help you save about 15 minutes at your appointment, we’ve conveniently included our patient forms here as a download. Simply click the link, print out the forms, fill in the appropriate information, and bring them to your visit to help things get started even faster.

Dental Insurance Accepted

Dental insurance can indeed be used to cover part of your orthodontic treatment, but each plan’s specific benefits are different. At Wigal Orthodontics, we’ll not only accept your dental insurance, but we’ll make sure you completely understand your benefits so you can know what you’re expected to pay out-of-pocket. Our team has become insurance experts over the years, so we’ll know exactly what to do to help you get the most out of your benefits. If you have any questions about how we can work with your particular plan, be sure to call us today.
