Happy Birthday to our girl, Val...one of our amazing Patient Treatment Coordinators!!!

She may have started off a little shy, but now she’s a true ride or die 💯 always dependable, incredibly helpful, and sharp as can be. Her attention to detail and commitment to doing her best never go unnoticed!

She may technically be a Gen Z, but she’s a millennial at heart (even if she still hasn’t seen some of the iconic movies we grew up with😂).
Thanks for always keeping us laughing and on our toes. We’re so lucky to have you on the team and can’t wait to see everything this next year brings you. Wishing you more growth, good vibes, and amazing opportunities. Cheers to you Val, we love and appreciate you so much! 💕🫶

It’s National Align-Your-Teeth Day!
Having straight teeth isn’t just for cosmetic reasons. There are many important reasons as to why someone should align your teeth in order to prevent some of the following:
losing your teeth early, gum disease, and having to receive oral surgery.

Making sure your teeth are properly aligned helps keep them healthy and helps prevent future problems. For example, straight teeth are easier to clean and therefore less prone to cavities and decay. This will save you from having to undergo procedures like root canals, implants or gum surgery in the future.

Make sure to schedule routine check-ups with your dentist and orthodontist. If you’re in pain and think you might be in need of surgery, give us a call! We work closely with your dentist and orthodontist when oral surgery becomes the best option for your oral health.
