Why Choose Us?
At Dexter Orthodontics, we offer a complimentary consultation on your initial visit. You can learn if orthodontic care is right for you — no strings attached! Children should be screened at around age seven, but people of all ages may benefit from orthodontics, so consulting with one of our doctors can help you determine if, and when, you might need treatment.
Schedule Consultation
My son started his treatment around 9 yr because of crowding issue. From very beginning, the staff was very helpful with what’s the financial situation and what my insurance would cover. I was worried my son would not like this, but it went so much well comparing myself childhood experiences. They let kids collect points by being on time, keeping oral hygiene and even wearing their T-shirt. They also let parents know how long each appointment will be. If some emergency happens (like a bracket loosen) it’s always so easy to book an appointment quickly.
Both doctors are great and experienced. My son started with an expander and you can really see how it works just after a month. What’s the most important thing is he never complain going to the appointments and never whining about braces or other stuff. It went very smoothly; after about one and half year treatment, now his teeth look so nice. We are waiting for his 12 yr molars and will start the second treatment afterwards. Soon, my younger one (8 yr) will also start her treatment as well.
Dexter Orthodontics is wonderful. They are great with the kids and always take time to explain treatments. They also support the community with fun events. Highly recommend!
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!
