We went here for braces for both kids and the staff was always helpful, knowledgeable, and efficient. They went out of their way to explain procedures, put the kids at ease, and give clear directions on what to expect. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them! Plus there’s an office dog for emotional support :)

I’m 65 years old and grew up with perfect teeth. A few years ago I started to see my bottom teeth shift dramatically and one of my top front teeth receding behind the other. In less than a year I have the perfect smile of my youth again and couldn’t be happier!! Thank you Dr Desai and the Dlm Tree crew for the excellent care, giving me back my confidence so I can smile again 😁

Dr. Desai and his orthodontist team are amazing people! Since day one they have been great at working on my teeth and taking good care of my orthodontic needs. Communication was great and any question I had was answered. I don’t regret going to them! I would recommend this place 10/10!
