What Our Patients Say About Us
We Welcome Patients of All Ages
At Bunn Orthodontics in San Antonio, TX, we make orthodontic treatment an enjoyable experience for all ages. We are always welcoming new patients to treat their visually appealing and functional needs. Whether you are an adult or child, we will work with you to develop the right orthodontic treatment plan.
We are here to help you take proper care of your teeth and avoid any future problems with hygiene, alignment, and more. Our passionate team is dedicated to understanding your situation and developing quality and customized care plans. It is essential to analyze each patient’s specific needs because in-depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction.
Your First Visit
We are always excited about meeting new patients during their first visit to our office. Your initial appointment will consist of a thorough examination and a discussion of potential treatment options. This important 60-minute visit will give us insight into your orthodontic needs. We know your time is valuable, so to expedite treatment, we take X-rays, photos and impressions that are necessary for developing the appropriate treatment plan. However, with new technology, our team can also capture images of your teeth without impressions. Many of our patients opt for “same day braces”, leaving with braces on their first visit.
During the initial examination for each patient, our team will address the following questions that cover the basics of orthodontic treatment. We encourage you to ask questions as well.
- Is there a condition that orthodontics can address?
- Is treatment needed now or should treatment be delayed until appropriate growth, tooth eruption or other factors have occurred?
- What treatment procedures will be used to correct the problem?
- Do any permanent teeth need to be removed?
- How long will treatment take?
- How much will it cost?
- What are my payment options?
Please assist us by providing the following information at the time of your first visit:
- Dental Insurance is recommended to be given at the time the consultation is scheduled to allow us time to verify and reduce the amount of time the patient is waiting to be seen.
While we can often answer these general questions about treatment during the initial examination, we will address specific areas after careful analysis of the diagnostic records. We feel it is important to analyze each patient’s specific needs, because in-depth planning leads to superior results and higher patient satisfaction.
We will then schedule a consultation visit to discuss treatment options, time frames and financial arrangements. We insist that our patients leave the office with a clear understanding of their specific needs, what the treatment will consist of and how long it will take. Also, we will answer any additional questions.

It is our mission to provide you with affordable, high-quality treatment that fits your budget! We offer a variety of affordable and flexible payment options to meet your needs. Our office accepts payments by cash, checks, debit cards, HCH, and Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover credit cards. We accept CareCredit and we also offer low- and no-interest, in-house financing options. If you have any questions about financing or payment, ask us! We will thoroughly explain your choices and work hard to accommodate your needs.
Insurance
If your insurance covers orthodontic treatment, you will receive the benefit of reduced personal costs. Many insurance policies have a lifetime orthodontic benefit that is distinct from regular dental insurance. Insurance policies vary, so we will review your insurance to determine the appropriate course of action. Once treatment has started, we will file your claims.
Please remember that orthodontic insurance is a benefit for you or your child. If, during the course of treatment, your benefits change, the financially responsible party is accountable for all charges.
