About Smile Ranch Orthodontics
Dr. Jensen's conservative, no-unnecessary-treatment approach draws whole families back for multiple kids' braces over the years.
Smile Ranch Orthodontics treats a lot of multi-child families, with siblings and even parents returning for braces or Invisalign across years. Dr. Jensen is repeatedly described as knowledgeable and conservative, avoiding treatment that isn't needed, and taking time with each patient before moving on. Reviews also mention staff who remember patients by name years later and a clean, modern office, though a handful of reviews raise concerns about cost and billing.
