I started taking my 7.5 year old to Dexter Ortho a couple of months ago to have his palette expanded as part of the work we’re doing in trying to improve his airway. I personally received a ton of ortho as a kid/teen and was so hesitant to take him, especially as he’s so young. But honestly I could not be happier that we found this practice. Dr. Shoukri and the whole team are genuinely so friendly, and in addition to be such caring listeners (to both me and my kid), I also really appreciate how communicative all the staff are when they’re actually working on his mouth. Each thing they do, they verbally let him know before actually doing it and they’re so good at checking in how he’s doing. All of these elements combined make my kid actually excited to go to the office, even though some of the stuff is physically uncomfortable. The payment plans are also affordable and made it so we could start right away. Highly recommend!

We are so happy we chose Dexter Orthodontics for our 8 yo son. They are all so patient and kind with him (and me), taking the time to explain what’s going on and the plan going forward, which I really appreciate. My son walks right in on his own now, excited to sign himself in and earn more reward points. I love that he doesn’t dread it and isn’t afraid of each visit. He now goes back on his own to the open area where there are other children getting a check-up.
Dr. Shoukri has also met us more than once for emergency visits when the office was closed when something became painful or fell off and became sore. We so appreciated those instances when my son was clearly in pain, and we couldn’t wait for the next day or for the next Monday to arrive. Highly recommend this office. They do so much for our son and are great contributors to events and functions in town!

Dexter Orthodontics Rocks!! Such a kind and caring staff. My son had to get braces, and they made this experience so easy. They communicate so clearly and make sure you understand the process and why it happens that way. They take such great care of their clients!! Highly recommend!!!!
