About Adventure Dental and Orthodontics
Staff let an anxious autistic child ease into treatment without forcing him, and early evaluations for young kids come up often in these reviews.
This orthodontic practice sees a notable share of early or phase 1 treatment for young patients, more than is typical, alongside standard braces and aligner cases. Reviews often mention staff accommodating anxious children and at least one child with autism without forcing treatment, and several parents note thorough explanations of treatment plans and steps before starting. Scheduling is a recurring sore point, with many reviews describing long waits, appointments cancelled or rescheduled without notice, and in some cases braces treatment stretching on or stalling due to missed appointment slots.

Scheduled dental services for my child here twice. For whatever reason the wait ends up being over an hour. They lost the chart, my child’s name didn’t get entered somehow. The front office says they don’t know what happened , and neither does the hygenic staff and the apologies start to flow. Thanks for the apologies, but no thanks. This is concerning for a dental practice or any medical practice and we will not be returning. Charts should not be lost or misplaced within the same office. Also if they cant handle 2 patients with the same last name in the building at the same time they’re in the wrong business.
