How to be a Traveling Patient:

For traveling patients, we start with a virtual consultation because it will save you one trip to the office. For local patients, we start with an in-person consultation. Then, if a patient wants to move forward with treatment, it requires a second visit for records.

We have streamlined the process for our traveling patients to be more time and cost-effective.

Here are the steps:

  1. Schedule a Virtual Consultation via phone: 703.712.1053 . The current fee is $500, which we collect at the time of booking. $250 gets credited towards treatment if you decide to move forward*. We give discounted rates if Dr. Adams is reviewing multiple family members on the same call. Calls generally last 45-60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the case. They are very thorough.
  2. Email a 3D cone beam scan (preferred), full mouth series of x-rays (FMX), or panoramic x-ray. TmjSleepBreathe@gmail.com
  3. Send a series of photographs you can easily take with your phone. You will receive instructions for this after scheduling.
  4. Send any other relevant records, such as sleep studies, myofunctional therapy reports, and records from previous orthodontic treatment.
  5. Have the phone consultation with Dr. Adams. Dr. Adams will discuss recommended treatment based on your goals and needs, including how long treatment will take and approximately how often you will need to visit the office. Please note that diagnosis and treatment must be confirmed at the first in-person visit. And although rare, there may be changes after an evaluation.
  6. A staff member will email you the detailed treatment plan, including fees and financing options. Staff is always available to review the details over the phone as well.
  7. Make an appointment to come to the office. At this appointment, Dr. Adams will do a thorough evaluation and discuss any changes to the preliminary treatment plan (it’s uncommon to have changes). If applicable, a staff member will review an updated treatment plan, including fees.
  8. Take records during the initial appointment to get started with treatment.

Listed in order from closest to farthest from the office.

Hotel Accommodations:

We are located very close to Tysons Corner, VA, and Fairfax, VA. Both cities have a variety of hotel options depending on your preferences. Hotels.com or similar is a good place to check available options. Many of our patients travel in and out on the same day. If you plan to do this, please let us know in advance so we can ensure you leave the office in time to make your flight.
