Your first appointment allows us to meet you and discuss your concerns

Your first orthodontic consultation appointment with Dr Shimanto Purkayastha is designed to inform you, in detail, about the nature and extent of the orthodontic treatment required.

Our practice is located at Suite 11, 6 Meridian Place Bella Vista, NSW 2153.

A referral is not required to book a consultation with us, but if your dentist has provided one then please bring it along.

You have been referred to Synergy Radiology for two basic diagnostic x-rays and will be required to have these completed prior to your initial consultation.

By focusing on your concerns and wishes we will:

  • Explain the treatment you may require and the types of appliances that can be used
  • Explain the length of treatment and what you can expect at each appointment
  • Answer all your questions relating to your orthodontic treatment and discuss the financial arrangement
  • Explain & help you book the necessary appointments to begin the orthodontic treatment process

If orthodontic treatment is required, diagnostic records will be necessary. These may include the following::

  • Digital photographs of the teeth and face
  • Digital scans of the teeth to determine tooth size and analyse the relationship between the teeth and jaws

At Norwest Orthodontics, we listen to you and provide a personalised approach. We will fully inform you about your treatment options prior to proceeding. All our patients’ treatments are customised to ensure their desires and needs are met in a warm, comfortable and friendly environment.

Ample free parking is available for all our patients upon your arrival to our clinic, either in front of the building or underneath the building in the basement parking.
