Dr. Bukholts takes the time to "get to know you" and build a bond of trust and understanding. She listens to you and your needs. She collects information and educates each individual patient on their overall problems – and options for solving them.
During the second visit, the diagnostic session, we analyze your records and perform a full examination for a thorough diagnosis. To insure the best care, the best functional and aesthetic results, we use the latest technology and procedures, including:- Digital Panoramic/Cephalometric X-rays for clear imaging with minimal radiation exposure
- Articulator-mounted models as part of our diagnostic records to determine the total alignment of the teeth and jaw, for improving stability and minimizing strain on the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), or jaw
- Joint imaging for proper function verification, when necessary
- Complete treatment updates with images to document progress milestones
- Top-of-the line appliances such as In-Ovation® brackets, Invisalign®, and Incognito™ Lingual braces
