First Visit

Your First Visit to DeDomenico Orthodontics

During the initial appointment, we will be taking computer-imaging pictures and conducting a thorough examination. We will then decide when to begin treatment.

Be sure to download our New Patient Forms below!

Because permanent teeth are still forming in the bone, a panoramic X-ray may also be taken at this visit, at no cost to you. This will aid us during the evaluation. The appointment will last up to 60 minutes, so please allow adequate time for the examination and consultation.

However, if treatment is indicated, future appointments can be made on the initial visit. The total enjoyment we have experienced in our association with both parents and patients stems from a mutual understanding and cooperation of responsibility regarding orthodontic treatment.

Our concern for the care of new patients begins with what we call the “Perfect Beginning.” We believe that care of our patients is at its best when there are no barriers between you and those of us who are here to serve you. This will ensue the most desired and pleasing results.

My daughter has been going to DeDomenico Orthodontics for almost two years. Her teeth were a train wreck! What DeDomenico Orthodontics was able to with her teeth is no short of a miracle, especially in such a short amount of time. She was also a kid that was extremely terrified of dentists and their staff has done such a spectacular job of making her comfortable that her anxiety about dentists and orthodontists has done a 180. As a middle-school child she is a lot more confident in her appearance and I am grateful to their team to helping her get back a great smile!

My son and daughter have both received braces at DeDomenico Orthodontics and I cannot say enough about how friendly, professional, and courteous the entire staff is. I would definitely recommend DeDomenico Orthodontics to family and friends.

Rene Brioso

The workers at DeDomenico are like family they treat you with lots of care when getting work done. They have an open environment which makes it easier to relax. When getting work done in your mouth you don’t want dirty instruments touching your mouth. DeDomenico make sure that everything they use is well kept and clean. They are very careful and make you as comfortable as possible.

Our daughter received personalized, hands-on care from Dr. DeDomenico and his wonderful staff. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend DeDomenico Orthodontics.

Steve Kenyon

I can’t say enough about Dr. Matt and the staff at DeDomenico Orthodontics. They were straightforward with me regarding pricing, treatment time, and clearly explaining to me what my expectations should be. However, my actual results were even better than what I was told I should expect. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking to improve upon their smile!
