Get a new smile!

If your orthodontist indicates you or your child are ready to initiate treatment, and if you’re satisfied with the proposed treatment plan and the financial arrangements, we’ll begin orthodontic treatment.

You'll be on your way to a dazzling new smile!

Healthy teeth and a beautiful smile – in one convenient location!

Life can get complicated when you’re going to one practice for regular dental care and another office for orthodontic treatment.

Because we do both in-house at PDAO, your doctors can consult easily and continually. You’ll get more comprehensive and collaborative care. And, you’ll save time!

Obviously, you don’t have to be a regular dental patient at PDAO to get braces here. (But it sure will make your
life easier.)

“Six of my children have had orthodontics from five doctors in three states. From this reference point, I say that Dr. Jason and his staff are beyond excellent. Two of my teens just finished braces with Dr. Jason. Not once did we have to make a special appointment because of problems with the braces, no broken or loose brackets. I always received appointment reminders via email. The office wait is never long. Everyone is cheerful and helpful. Nice incentives for the kids, but never pressure. I can think of not one improvement to suggest. Look no further. Best of all, the finished teeth are exactly right!! I am forever grateful to Dr. Jason and his staff.”

“We have had such a great experience, both in regular check-ups and with ortho. We have been going there for over 6 years and not once had a problem with anything from customer service to billing to care.  We just finished braces with our oldest and are very impressed with the level of care and attention she received. Dr. Jason and his staff are knowledgeable, patient, and kind. We never felt rushed or unheard. Dr. Val is amazing, always so kind and so great with the kids. She puts kids and parents at ease quickly. Our kids love going to the dentist / orthodontist (the waiting room is amazing, even though we don’t ever have to wait long at all) and I’m so glad they get to experience it!”

“I just wanted to take a second to say how wonderful our experience was today! My son got braces today and he has high anxiety when it comes to the dentist. Lorena was Dr. Jason’s assistant and she was phenomenal! She took her time to explain everything she was doing. Everyone made it so easy on both of us! Whitney is his dental hygienist and she came in to check on him and held his hand! Jill also came in to check on him. She’s been such a help trying to get this process started. We also love our Shawna!! Thank you for always making our visits better by having the best staff!”
