About W David White D.D.S.,P.A.
Dr. William White is remembered for correcting a young child's cross bite without surgery and for treating neurodiverse teens with patience and honesty.
Reviews here center heavily on Dr. William White, whose bedside manner and thorough explanations come up in close to half of all reviews, along with notes that he remembers patient details without checking a chart. Several families mention multi-year treatment across siblings, and a corrected cross bite in a 9-year-old that avoided future jaw surgery. Front desk service draws some criticism even as clinical staff and the office atmosphere, including a calming music choice, are praised. Cost is generally seen as reasonable, though a few reviews mention a steep jump in retainer replacement fees.

Our first time dealing with Dr. David White and his staff was an amazing experience. They are absolutely wonderful there and calms your worries about dental procedures. My son who is 16 and my daughter who is 12 thought he was great. Definitely Recommend!!!

Last year, we had a consultation with our younger son. It went well, we really like Dr. White and the practice. Dr. White suggested we follow up in a year when his 12 year molars started to come in. At the most recent dentist appointment x-rays showed the molars starting to come in. We reached out to schedule an appointment and have not heard anything back. This would not be as big of a deal but my husband and I have both tried to contact them for a consultation for another family member. We have completed the forms online, called and left messages, and responded to the texts we have received. This is disappointing because we were looking forward to trying Dr. White.

Dr. White is the best orthodontist around in my opinion. He makes sure that he makes every patient feel like a part of his family and treats everyone with respect. His staff is kind and friendly every time I go in. Dr. White DDS gets 10 stars from me.
