What to Expect as a New Patient
We understand that visiting an orthodontist for the first time can feel overwhelming — especially for younger patients. At Campbell Orthodontics, we've built our entire practice around making every patient feel comfortable, informed, and at ease from the very first interaction. Our friendly front desk team is happy to answer your questions before you even set foot in our office, so don't hesitate to call [dm-phone] with any concerns ahead of your visit.
When you arrive for your first appointment, you'll be welcomed by our warm, professional staff and given a tour of our modern North Naples office. We'll take any necessary photos and X-rays, and then Dr. Campbell or Dr. Gage will conduct a thorough evaluation of your child's teeth, bite, and jaw development. We take our time at this appointment — because a proper diagnosis is the foundation of every successful treatment plan.
Following the exam, your doctor will walk you through the findings, discuss treatment options, and give you a realistic estimate of treatment length and costs. We believe in full transparency so you can make the most informed decision for your family.
Preparing for Your First Visit
To help streamline your first appointment, we offer patient intake forms that can be completed before you arrive. You can download and fill out our new patient forms at your convenience, so you spend less time on paperwork and more time talking with our team. If you have any difficulty accessing the forms or prefer to receive them by mail, simply call us at [dm-phone] and we'll take care of it.
We also recommend bringing any recent dental X-rays or records from your child's general dentist if available, along with your insurance card and a list of any questions or concerns you'd like to discuss. Our team will handle the rest.
Insurance and Payment Options
We accept most major dental insurance plans, including HMO and PPO coverage, and our team will help you maximize your benefits. We handle the insurance paperwork so you don't have to. For families without insurance or those seeking additional flexibility, we offer in-house payment plans designed to make treatment as accessible as possible.
We're happy to walk you through all financial options during your consultation so there are no surprises. Our goal is to make sure cost is never a barrier to your child getting the orthodontic care they need. Call [dm-phone] to verify your coverage before your appointment.
A Practice Built Around Your Family
At [dm-name], we know your time is valuable. Our office doesn't double-book appointments, and most patients are seen within minutes of their scheduled time. Adjustment visits are typically scheduled every six to eight weeks, minimizing disruption to school and work schedules.
All orthodontic adjustments are performed personally by Dr. Campbell or Dr. Gage — never by an assistant. Patients are treated in private, comfortable rooms where parents and family members are always welcome to sit in. We want your whole family to feel confident and informed throughout the treatment process.
Whether your child is starting with traditional braces, Invisalign Teen, or any of our other orthodontic services, you'll receive the same attentive, personalized care that has made Campbell Orthodontics a trusted name in Naples for over 14 years. Learn more about our team on the About page, or schedule your consultation today.

What happens during the first orthodontic appointment?
During your first visit, our team will take photos, X-rays, and any necessary impressions. Dr. Campbell or Dr. Gage will then conduct a comprehensive evaluation of your child's teeth, bite, and jaw and discuss their findings with you — including recommended treatment options and an estimated timeline and cost. The goal is for you to leave fully informed and confident about next steps.
How do I prepare for my child's first appointment?
We recommend downloading and completing our new patient forms before your visit to save time. Bring your insurance card, any recent dental X-rays, and a list of questions you'd like answered. Our team will take care of the rest and make sure your first visit is as smooth as possible.
How old should my child be for a first orthodontic evaluation?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children have their first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. At this stage, Dr. Campbell or Dr. Gage can assess how the teeth and jaw are developing and determine whether early treatment is beneficial or if a monitoring approach is more appropriate.
What insurance plans does Campbell Orthodontics accept?
We accept most major dental insurance plans, including HMO and PPO. Our team will help verify your benefits and handle insurance paperwork on your behalf. We also offer flexible payment options for families who need additional financial support. Call [dm-phone] to confirm your coverage before your first appointment.
Are parents allowed to be present during appointments?
Yes, absolutely. Patients are treated in private, comfortable treatment rooms and family members are always welcome to be present. We believe open communication with parents is an important part of the treatment process, and we encourage families to ask questions and stay involved at every step.
How soon can we start treatment after the first visit?
In many cases, treatment can begin shortly after the initial consultation, once a treatment plan has been agreed upon and any necessary records have been taken. Our team will walk you through the timeline and coordinate scheduling to get your child started as efficiently as possible. Call [dm-phone] to discuss next steps.
