They nickel and dime you. If a bracket breaks or you lose a retainer, you get charged to fix or replace it. Not at my office. We know life happens. So we replace or fix what’s necessary, without additional charge, to make sure you get the best results.

At many orthodontic offices profits are more important than health. It’s all about volume and how many patients they get through the door. Not here. We believe in quality over quantity. We believe if we take care of you the right way, our own needs will be met. That’s just how the world works, right?

They’re in a rush to recommend high cost procedures without thoughtfully analyzing your case and unique needs. I became a doctor because I want to help people and do what’s best for my patients. Orthodontics isn’t just about beautiful smiles; your long-term oral health is my concern.

The office staff is not friendly. Maybe they’re polite and professional enough to say “hi,” but there’s no warmth. My staff is genuine, they care about you, and they even have a sense of humor. These are requirements to work at Significance Dental Specialists because I work long hours and there’s no way I’m going to put up with cold and unfriendly people. So there’s no way I’d make you put up with them either.

Other orthodontic offices treat you like cattle. They make you wait for hours. And then when it’s your turn, you barely get to see the doctor before they turn around and push you out the door. That’s no way to treat patients. That’s no way to treat anyone. We respect your time and your feelings. We have an advanced scheduling system so your appointment runs on time and you receive the proper attention.

Too many orthodontists treat you like you’re dumb or like you’re a nuisance. They don’t take the time to discuss your options, answer your questions, or explain why their recommendations are necessary. Even though I’m the doctor and my staff and I are trained professionals, it’s your health and smile. We enjoy, and prefer, to work with knowledgeable patients. You are our partner and when you understand what’s going on, you’re going to get the best results.
