Dr. Scott Schmitt and our team are committed to providing patients with safe and convenient dental care. In today’s world, part of that care includes virtual dental consultations. As long as patients have access to a steady Internet connection, along with a computer or mobile device, they can schedule an online appointment with Dr. Schmitt.

What Are the Benefits of Virtual Consultations?

There are many reasons why our patients may wish to see Dr. Schmitt via a video chat or conference call rather than traveling to our Altamonte Springs, FL, office for an in-person appointment.

It is safer and more convenient for patients to meet with Dr. Schmitt virtually, especially for non-emergency care. Patients can simply join the appointment from their home or workplace, so they don’t have to spend time driving or engaging in face-to-face interaction with other people.

Not all dental problems can be handled through a virtual consultation, but we can use these appointments to answer questions, address concerns, prepare patients for treatment, and conduct follow-ups. This limits the number of times that patients have to visit our office in-person.

How Do I Schedule a Virtual Consult?

We have made it easy to schedule your online appointment with Dr. Schmitt. First, visit our virtual consultation page and fill out the online form to request an appointment time. Then, wait for a member of our team to contact you to confirm your appointment time. At that time, we will also ask you which video technology you would like to use for your appointment.

Some popular video apps include Zoom, WhatsApp, FaceTime, and Skype. If needed, be sure to have the preferred app downloaded and functioning on your mobile device or computer.

Then you will simply join your video call with Dr. Schmitt so you can discuss any oral health care concerns that you have.

As always, feel free to contact us online or call us at (407) 753-1242.
