Frequently Asked Questions About Visiting from Utica
How soon can a new patient get a consultation?
Most new patients are seen within one to two weeks. The exact wait depends on what is open on the schedule. When a dentist sends a referral, the office confirms it within one business day in most cases. The team then contacts the patient to book the visit.
What happens if we miss the first appointment?
A missed consultation costs $100. If a patient does not show up, that fee applies to the next one. A return visit before treatment starts is free in every other case. The first consultation is free for new patients. A patient moving from another orthodontist pays $250, and that fee comes off the treatment cost if they start here.
Will our family dentist hear what Dr. Fredal recommends?
Yes, if the dentist referred the patient. After the consultation, that dentist gets a summary of the diagnosis and the treatment plan Dr. Fredal recommends. Digital records and imaging come with it when they are asked for. Updates follow during treatment. Fredal Orthodontics sends all of this by secure email, phone and letter.
If a case needs another specialist, who does Fredal Orthodontics work with?
The practice works with outside providers when a case needs one. For surgery, it partners with oral and maxillofacial surgeons, who operate on the jaws. When airway findings need a closer look, it refers the patient to an ENT, an ear, nose and throat doctor. When tongue posture or oral habits play a part, it may refer the patient to a local myofunctional therapist, who retrains tongue habits.
