Services
Pediatric Dentistry
Our pediatric dentists specialize in preventive and restorative care for infants, children, and adolescents. We offer cleanings, digital X-rays, tooth-colored crowns, and sedation options to ensure comfortable visits. Our team focuses on creating positive experiences to build lifelong dental habits. Services include treatment for tongue-tie corrections and emergency dental care.
Orthodontics
We provide comprehensive orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults, including traditional metal braces, clear ceramic braces, and Wild Smiles designs. Our board-certified orthodontists create personalized treatment plans to correct bite issues and align teeth effectively. Treatment typically lasts about two years with regular adjustments.
Invisalign
Invisalign offers a discreet alternative to traditional braces using custom-molded clear plastic trays. Patients switch aligners every few weeks to gradually shift teeth into proper position. This treatment allows unrestricted eating and easier oral hygiene maintenance. It's suitable for both teens and adults seeking subtle orthodontic correction.
Airway Specialist
Our airway specialists address sleep-disordered breathing and developmental issues through orthodontic interventions. We use growth-guided appliances and myofunctional therapy to improve jaw development and nasal breathing. Early treatment helps prevent long-term problems like sleep apnea and behavioral issues caused by poor oxygenation during sleep.
Oral Surgery
We perform oral surgery procedures including tooth extractions, impacted tooth recovery, and wisdom teeth removal in Montgomery and Prattville locations. Our oral surgeon uses local anesthesia and sedation techniques to ensure patient comfort. These procedures are conducted in familiar office settings to reduce anxiety for young patients.
