The Best in Professional Care
In my practice, I make sure that our patients and their families benefit from the highest professional standards. I make a point of explaining the diagnoses carefully and presenting all the options for treatment. I want you to have the information you need to make the best possible decision about your care. In our offices, we use state-of-the-art equipment and follow the most exacting sterilization procedures.
Ultimately, though, it’s our warm and friendly staff that makes a difference. They all have extensive professional experience combined with an affinity for working with people and are committed to getting to know each patient as an individual. When you begin treatment with us, we want you to feel as if you’ve truly joined a community.
Early Treatment
By age seven, most children have a mix of
baby teeth and adult teeth. Although most orthodontic treatment is done between the ages of 9 and 16 when the adult teeth are fully erupted, certain orthodontic problems respond to early correction better than waiting until adolescence. In some children, early treatment may prevent more serious problems from developing and can sometimes make treatment at a later age shorter or less complicated. In fact, through early intervention, Dr. Dennis can achieve results that are simply not possible once the face and jaws have stopped growing.
Adult Treatment
If you missed the opportunity to have orthodontic work while you were a child or have seen undesirable 
changes in your teeth as an adult, you can now have a second chance, thanks to dramatic advances in orthodontics over the last decade.
You’ll find that the technology has changed considerably. Metal braces are much smaller and more comfortable than they used to be, and you may be able to wear braces made of clear ceramic or “invisible” braces made of plastic. Sometimes we can even use retainers to correct minor problems.
We don’t want our patients to wait until they have their braces taken off to smile. That’s why we give them plenty to smile about while they’re with us.
