Your First Visit
We know your first orthodontic appointment is a big step, and at Potts Orthodontics, we’re here to make it a great one. Whether you’re exploring treatment for yourself or your child, your first visit is all about getting to know you, your goals, and your smile.
We want you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident from day one.
Here’s what your first visit will include:
A Warm Welcome
As soon as you walk into our Goldsboro or Clinton office, you’ll be greeted by our friendly front desk team. We’ll help you get checked in, answer any initial questions, and guide you through what to expect during your visit.
Digital Records & Imaging
We’ll take a few digital photos of your teeth and, if needed, a panoramic X-ray to give Dr. Potts a clear view of your smile and bite. These tools help us assess alignment, spacing, and jaw development — all without discomfort.
Smile Assessment with Dr. Potts
Dr. Chris Potts will personally examine your teeth and discuss your smile goals. He’ll explain any orthodontic issues, walk you through your treatment options (including braces or Invisalign), and answer all your questions — clearly and honestly.
Custom Treatment Plan
If treatment is recommended, we’ll create a personalized plan tailored to your needs, lifestyle, and preferences. You’ll also receive a detailed breakdown of estimated costs, insurance coverage, and financing options.
No Pressure, No Rush
Your first visit is all about learning and planning—not making quick decisions. We’re here to guide you, not pressure you. Take your time, ask questions, and feel empowered about your next steps.
What to Bring
To help your first visit go smoothly, please bring:
- Your photo ID
- Insurance card (if you have orthodontic coverage)
- Any referral forms or dental records, if applicable
