Meet Your orthodontist
Dr. Tom Stark
As a parent, I know how heartbreaking it is when kids feel like they have to hide their smile. As a board-certified orthodontist, it’s my greatest joy to watch my patients transform—not just in how they look, but in how they feel about themselves.
Here’s How it Works
Three Steps to a Selfie-Worthy Smile
1. Schedule an Appointment
Dr. Tom will meet with you and your child, determine if orthodontic treatment is the best next step, and answer all your questions.
Your initial consultation is free.
2. Get a Customized Plan
You deserve a personalized plan that meets your child’s specific needs—and affordable options that fit your budget.
You’ll never feel like just a number.
3. See Your Child's Confidence Grow
As we gently adjust your child’s teeth, they’ll stop feeling self-conscious and start holding their head high. (So many selfies!)
Your child will love their smile.

Is your child self-conscious about their smile?
Most kids feel insecure about something: their grades, their lack of coordination in gym class, their clothing. When they’re self-conscious about their teeth, their self-esteem suffers, and they start to hide their smile—or stop smiling altogether. As a result, teachers and their peers may perceive them as shy and reserved, or even unfriendly.
Effective orthodontic care will bring out your child’s best smile, so they’ll feel confident and happy again.
