The thing I appreciate most here is how calm the environment feels. Dental offices usually make me anxious, but the assistants here talk patients through everything in a relaxed way. My aligners fit perfectly from the beginning, and they monitor progress carefully during each checkup. One tray cracked unexpectedly while I was traveling, and the receptionist helped arrange a temporary solution over the phone until I could come back into the office.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We’re so glad to hear that our team helped make your visits feel calm and comfortable, especially since dental appointments can often be stressful. It’s great to know your aligner treatment has been going smoothly and that the fit and monitoring have met your expectations. We’re also happy we could help quickly when your tray cracked during your trip. Providing support and clear communication, even outside the office, is very important to us. We truly appreciate your trust and your kind feedback.

Movie Star Smile My braces are off and results are in I have a movie star Smile . Thanks to the Dr and staff always helpful and encouraging! Thank You. If you think you’re to old braces think again . Lots of fellow patients are adults! You don’t have to be 12 to change your smile you just need the heart of a 12 year old! Because this is a 58 year old smile ! Photo on the right taken 2 days after braces off!

Both my girls saw Dr. Seim for traditional braces and had an excellent experience. Then, as an adult, I had some bite issues and needed to do Invisalign and they are also excellent with adult alignment. They also have the nicest office staff and were always super responsive:)
Response from the owner:Thanks for your feedback and your 5 star review!
