About Dorsett Dentistry & Braces

Catching bite issues early in young kids draws repeat mention, though scheduling and last-minute cancellations frustrate many families here.

Dorsett Dentistry & Braces is a pediatric dental practice that also offers braces, clear aligners, early treatment, and retainers. Reviews mention early phase 1 treatment more than at typical offices, and several families describe having multiple children in care here at once. The doctors are often described as gentle and willing to break procedures into smaller steps for anxious kids, though a number of reviews point to scheduling breakdowns, confusing billing, and occasional pressure toward extra procedures.

I should of took it as I sign when they messed up my sons braces consult. Instead I went against my intuition and signed the contract. First 2 months were fine. 10 months later hes barely being seen from appts. They kept canceling and rescheduling. Absolutely horrible customer service and scheduling system they have. Go anywhere else but here. The fettys outside the building have more sense then them. Disappointing!!!!

What an experience. I had 4 teeth extracted with no issue whatsoever. The surgeon was amazing. No pain, very little bleeding, and he explained every thing that he was doing. Thanks doc for the positive experience. There's another Doctor; Doctor Angela! She is very caring. She did my first extraction. No issues. Thanks Angela! Excellent caring staff. Ladies, I appreciate all the time you spent with me during this process! I highly recommend Dorsett Dentistry especially if you are nervous about going to the Dentist.
