EXPECTATION
Exceeding your expectations.
Your first visit is a thorough exam and an honest conversation about your options, because every smile deserves personalized attention.
Why families choose ION

ORIENTATION
Your new patient journey.
No surprises, no pressure. Just a clear, honest look at how care works at ION, from your very first visit through every step of treatment.
What your first visit looks like.
Your first visit is all about getting to know you. Dr. Rad reviews your smile and walks you through your options, honestly.
- Complimentary photos and digital x-rays
- A 3D digital scan
- A clear, no-pressure assessment and custom plan
- Your first visit runs about an hour. If you are ready, we can often start treatment the same day.
We respect your time
We bring you in for only the appointments you need, and we maximize your time in the chair when you are here. Every visit is intentional.
- Because your treatment plan is digital and customized, there are fewer appointments and more time between visits. Roughly every 6-8 weeks (on average) with metal braces, 8-10 weeks (on average) with 3D printed ceramic, and 10-12 weeks (on average) with clear aligners.
- We can also coordinate wire removals around your dental visits, so one trip does double duty.
State of the art, because it matters.
Modern technology makes every visit more comfortable and efficient.
- 3D digital scans, no goopy impressions
- Aligners with far fewer fit issues
- Metal and 3D printed ceramic brackets placed from the same digital plan
- The same scanner is used to design expanders, appliances, and retainers
FINANCIAL OPTIONS
Clear costs. Flexible plans.
We accept most major insurance plans as well as Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). ION Orthodontics is an in-network/preferred provider for many major insurance companies, so it's easier to maximize your benefits. As a service to our patients, we're happy to verify your orthodontic benefits and process your insurance forms for you. The cost of treatment varies with your individual needs and plan; our team will review your cost and payment options with you, and we'll build an interest-free payment plan that fits your budget. You'll know exactly what to expect before treatment begins.
