Office Tour

Welcome to Ingraham Orthodontics, office of Dr. Richard L. Ingraham!

Our patient entrance is designed to be welcoming to all patients! When you enter our office, you will be greeted by our caring and friendly staff and welcomed into our comfortable, relaxing reception area. For your convenience, we offer computerized check-in. We constantly strive to provide our patients with the finest orthodontic care available and invest in advanced technology.

Our reception area is comfortable and inviting with cozy seating and a warm atmosphere.

We have books and games for kids as well as Checkers and various current periodicals for adults to enjoy. Patient education materials are also available.

Our Nintendo 64 game system is a favorite among our patients!

Dr. Ingraham uses state-of-the-art technology in order to provide you the highest level of care available.

In our private consultation area, Dr. Ingraham will educate you on your treatment options based on your individual needs.

All treatment plans are individualized for each patient. Dr. Ingraham can electronically display your chart, radiographs and photographs to explain your diagnosis and orthodontic plan.

The clinic is an “open bay” concept. The open bay provides a warmer atmosphere than the traditional dental setting. We have music, video, conversation, and fun. The computer beside each chair is part of our office-wide information management system. We can display your chart, radiographs, photographs, treatment plan, and any information as needed.

We have computer monitors at every treatment station to provide you the most efficient and effective results possible.

Dr. Ingraham believes strongly in the importance of patient education and goes the extra mile to explain your treatment needs and results to you.

One of our top priorities is your safety and health. That’s why we monitor the sterilization and cleanliness controls in our office carefully. To maintain the highest standards of cleanliness, we :

  • Use ultra-sonic treatment to remove debris from our instruments, followed by a water rinse
  • Autoclave all our instruments using compartmentalized, stainless steel containers.
  • Utilize a sterilization monitoring system with heat-sensitive tape and spore strips, which are monitored by an outside system.
  • Dispose of single use items immediately after use.
  • Follow all CDC, state and OSHA guidelines for health and safety in the workplace.

While we follow all guidelines for the safety and quality of care and treatment we provide, we don’t wait for regulations. We implement new techniques and technologies as soon as they’re of benefit to our patients and staff. We take pride in our office and in keeping you and us healthy and safe.

 

Our in-house laboratory allows us to customize your appliances more efficiently.

We hope to meet and exceed your expectations during your visit to Ingraham Orthodontics! Thank you for touring our office!
