As with any healthcare provider, choosing an orthodontist is an important decision affecting your day-to-day health and overall well-being. Not all orthodontic practices are alike, and you should feel comfortable asking questions until you have the answers right for you. At Farina Orthodontics, you will always receive the highest caliber of care in a friendly, welcoming environment, the latest technology making treatment more efficient and comfortable, and a few other outstanding qualities we think you may like.
Quality Care
When choosing an orthodontist, there are a few things to keep in mind. First of all, you want to make sure that the doctors who work at the practice are qualified and well-educated. Dr. Mark Farina has received a doctorate degree in dental medicine. He participates in continuing education programs and attends seminars to learn about all of the new innovations in the world of orthodontics. He is a member of multiple professional organizations including the American Association of Orthodontists, Florida Association of Orthodontists, Southern Society of Orthodontists, and the American Dental Association. Being a part of these groups allows Dr. Farina to exchange advice and information with other orthodontists across the country, to continually improve techniques and treatment plans.
In addition to a qualified doctor, you want to have treatment options at your orthodontist. Unlike some practices, we want our patients to have a say in their treatment and get involved. This is why we offer a range of services at Farina Orthodontic Specialists. We offer phase 1 and 2 treatment which addresses orthodontic issues in children, teens, and adults. Our list of interventions is lengthy but includes expanders, retainers, braces, Invisalign, bone grafting, wisdom teeth removal, and oral biopsy. Whatever your orthodontic needs may be, you can be sure that Farina Orthodontic Specialists has the experience and expertise to delicately handle your unique situation.
We use cutting edge technology to make our diagnoses and treatment quick and effective. The new iCat and iTero scanners have allowed us to make 2D and 3D digital images of the patient’s maxillofacial areas in as little as 10 minutes. We have 3D printers onsite, as well as an in-house lab to design and fabricate plastic aligners used during Invisalign treatment. This kind of technology can cut down on your treatment time while still giving you amazing results that will make you smile.
Financial Services
Another big deciding factor when choosing which orthodontic practice to use is how much the services provided will cost you. At Farina Orthodontic Specialists we offer complimentary consultations virtually as well as in-person so you can receive information and an informed recommendation from qualified doctors at no cost. We accept many insurance providers including:
- Aetna PPO
- Blue Dental PPO / Choice Co-pay
- Careington
- Cigna PPO
- Dental Dental PPO
- DHA PPO
- Dental Network of America
- Guardian PPO
- Metlife PPO
- Sunlife PPO
- United Concordia Standard PPO
- United Healthcare PPO
Oftentimes, your insurance provider can cover thousands of dollars in treatment, leaving you with just a fraction of the cost to pay out of pocket. We are ready to work with you in coming up with feasible solutions to pay these costs if they are becoming stressful or unmanageable for your family. We use OrthoFi, an in-house financing solution to orthodontic costs, to make orthodontic treatment more affordable for you. OrthoFi helps with insurance processing, as well as coming up with a payment plan that works with your schedule and budget. Payment plans help to divide out of pocket costs into easier-to-pay amounts over a certain duration. This makes treatment costs much less daunting because you do not have to pay all at one time. You can spread payments out over months or even years so treatment puts less stress on you, and your bank account.
