From the moment you walk in, our Columbus team wants you to feel comfortable and supported. Dr. Callaway uses the latest technology, but he never forgets that there's a real person behind every smile. That means gentle, personalized treatment designed specifically for your needs—never a one-size-fits-all approach.

Second Visit
Let's Get Started
If you didn't begin treatment at your consultation, this is the visit where everything kicks off. Braces, clear aligners, or another appliance; today's the day your smile transformation officially begins.
Before this appointment, Dr. Callaway carefully reviews all your records from the consultation; your digital X-rays, scans, and photos. This thorough preparation ensures he can design a treatment plan perfectly tailored to your timeline, lifestyle, and goals.
Scheduling Appointments
Regular check-ins with Dr. Callaway, typically every 4-8 weeks, are an essential part of your treatment journey. These appointments allow us to monitor your progress and ensure everything is moving in the right direction.
When you're ready to schedule your consultation, simply contact our front desk. We're happy to work with you to find an appointment time that fits your schedule.
We understand that life happens. If you're running late or need to reschedule, just give us a call. We're here to accommodate you and look forward to seeing you soon.
Dental Visits During Orthodontic Treatement
It's important to continue seeing your family dentist every six months for regular cleanings and check-ups—even while you're in orthodontic treatment.
If your teeth need any additional care, we're happy to coordinate with your dentist to ensure you receive comprehensive support.
Our goal is to keep your smile healthy, comfortable, and progressing beautifully from start to finish.
