First Visit

Your Neighborhood Orthodontic Office

A healthier, more confident smile starts with finding the right partner in care. At the practice of Dr. David Jensen, with locations in Kahuku on Oahu’s North Shore, Kapa’a on Kauai’s east shore, and Wailuku in the heart of Maui, we’re grateful to be part of your smile journey. From day one, our focus is on you—your story, your goals, and your comfort. Dr. Jensen takes a relationship-first approach, creating a welcoming space where personalized care is built on mutual trust, genuine connection, and open communication.

Before Your Appointment

The first orthodontic visit can seem overwhelming, especially for younger patients. But with Dr. Jensen, your introduction to care is thoughtfully planned to be relaxed, friendly, and worry-free from start to finish.

Initial Consultation

You’ll sit down with Dr. Jensen in a comfortable, private setting to talk about your smile goals and address any questions or concerns. He’ll outline the potential outcomes of treatment and guide you through the different options available, empowering you to choose the path that’s right for you.

Customized Care

Dr. Jensen takes pride in making sure all your questions are fully addressed and that your treatment plan is the perfect match for your individual needs. Backed by his skilled and friendly team, you’ll receive step-by-step guidance throughout your entire orthodontic journey. From booking visits to exploring payment choices, everything is communicated clearly, so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

Starting Your Journey

After we’ve answered all your questions and made sure you feel completely at ease, there’s a slight chance you might be able to start your treatment on the same day as your free initial evaluation. We respect your time and strive to make each appointment both productive and personalized.

From the moment you walk through our doors, our welcoming team will be there to assist you with check-in and make you feel right at home. Your detailed initial visit usually includes:

  • A full review of your health background
  • A conversation about your smile goals and any concerns

  • Creation of a personalized orthodontic treatment plan
  • Plenty of time to ask questions, because understanding your care helps you make the best choices for your smile
