Our Treatment Philosophy

"Do the right thing at the right time and do not do too much too soon"

The best time to intercept developing malocclusions is between the ages of eight and nine; earlier if there are obvious problems such as severe crowding, spacing, or crossbites. By starting at this time, we get a head start on heading off problems. This sets your child up for positive and healthy dental development before the teeth settle into their permanent placement. This does not mean placing braces, but it does mean getting an early start on diagnosing the problem when some simple guidance can minimize the developing problem.
Our goal is to get our patients on a path of normal dental development with teeth in a proper path of eruption . . and to do this effectively, efficiently, and cost effectively at the right time with stable results.

Office Hours & Appointments

Summer hours start at 7:30a.m.and winter hours 7:00 a.m. days vary. Appointments may be made by calling our office at (970) 243-1532. If emergency care is required during times other than regular office hours, a call to our office phone will give you information as to how the doctor can be reached.
Most appointments must be scheduled during school hours as 90% of our patients are school age. This enables us to plan treatment so that services may be rendered in the most effective sequence.
