Welcome to Your Orthodontic Home!
At Gross Orthodontics, you and your family will have a great orthodontic experience at our state-of-the-art El Paso facility. Our cutting-edge techniques and unmatched expertise will leave you confident in choosing us for all your orthodontic needs!
Your First Visit
Your free consultation starts with an introduction to our office and team. Once you feel comfortable, we’ll begin your exam. During this comprehensive exam, Dr. Amanda Gross can determine if orthodontic treatment is right for you.
Your exam may include digital X-rays and CBCT scans to help us get a better understanding of your oral health. CBCT scans are particularly useful because they give us a three-dimensional look at your teeth, soft tissues, and underlying bone (all within a single scan).
We’ll also review your medical and dental histories to determine the best course of action and catch any potential complications. Once your review and exam are complete, we’ll discuss your possible treatment options.
Consultation for Kids
Children and teens are the ideal candidates for orthodontic treatment. The American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) recommends that all children receive an orthodontic evaluation by age seven.
This first appointment usually doesn’t involve a treatment recommendation. Instead, it helps us determine which treatments could work later on. We may schedule a follow-up so that we can monitor the development of their teeth and jaw.
Many orthodontic problems are easier to catch and correct at an earlier age, while some permanent teeth have yet to erupt. If we do recommend early treatment, it can prevent greater complications and reduce the length of treatment in the long term.
Adult Consultations
Adult consultations are slightly different. Before we move forward with any type of orthodontic treatment, we must first determine that there are no existing issues with your oral health.
We may recommend a periodontal evaluation to ensure there are no instances of gum disease. Gum disease can weaken the periodontal tissues, making it much more difficult to move your teeth.
Financing & Insurance
At Gross Orthodontics, we understand that the financial side of dental treatment can become confusing at times. When you choose our El Paso office, you’ll get safe, effective, and affordable treatment for every member of the family.
To make things easier for you, we offer discount programs and payment systems for qualifying patients. Above all else, we want you to have a clear understanding of your financial and insurance options.
Insurance Options
Dental insurance can play a significant role in your treatment fees! Our team will help determine your coverage before treatment and submit your claims to make things easy.
