A People-First Approach to Orthodontic Care

It’s not just about teeth.

When it comes to orthodontic care, you have a lot of options. It can be confusing and frustrating trying to figure out where to go—mostly because just about anyone can provide “good treatment.”

But here’s what we’ve learned partnering with more than 10,000 patients over the last 30+ years: There’s more to excellent orthodontic care than clinical requirements like brackets, wires, and adjustments. That’s why at Stark Smiles, we treat people first and teeth second. We listen carefully to each person’s unique concerns, and we develop a personalized treatment plan to reach their specific goals. Our patients enjoy the process almost as much as they love their new smile!
