The goal of our orthodontic team is to provide the most beautiful, healthy smiles possible in a fun, caring, family-oriented atmosphere. Dr. Bentele is a dental specialist with postgraduate training in a research based Masters degree program at Ohio State. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7 by an orthodontist. Limited early orthodontic care to address specific problems as the permanent teeth transition in may lessen the severity of future dental problems. Approximately 1/3 of our patients are adults interested in the improvement in dental health and confidence that braces and a great smile can provide. As an orthodontist with 25 years of experience including 10 as a general dentist he is the ideal choice to manage complex treatment plans. Invisible braces are available for adults or children. Our practice recognizes that since orthodontic care typically takes around two years that cost can be a concern. Considering this is an investment for a lifetime, braces can be reassuringly affordable with the help of no interest payment plans and insurance. Successful orthodontic treatment depends on a blend of art, experience and science. We incorporate leading edge orthodontic and digital technology while maintaining a conservative treatment philosophy. Call today or visit our website.
