About Dr. Dental: Dentistry & Braces

Braces cases, often started early in childhood, are described as finishing quickly and with little discomfort, though long waits and scheduling mix-ups come up often.

This general dental practice also offers Invisalign, traditional braces, and TMJ treatment, and braces and early phase-one treatment for kids come up more here than at a typical dental office. Reviews often mention Dr. Salim and Dr. Reddy explaining procedures and treatment reasoning before starting work, and several describe patients experiencing little discomfort during extractions, root canals, and braces placements. Waiting times are a recurring complaint, with reviewers citing hour-long delays, overbooking, and appointments that go missing from the schedule.
