I am officially brace-free today, and while I’m obsessed with my new smile, I’m actually a little sad to be finished! The team here is so wonderful and incredibly friendly. They made every appointment something to look forward to with their kindness and professionalism. I’m going to miss seeing their friendly faces, but I couldn't be happier with the results. If you want a perfect smile and an amazing experience, this is the place!

I had amazing experience at this orthodontist office! Dr. Patra is incredibly skilled and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her team is wonderful—always friendly, welcoming, organized and genuinely caring at every visit. Ending treatment with a smile I love is the best feeling and I would highly recommend this office to anyone!

Invisalign has changed my smile and my life! It has given me confidence when I meet and talk with people which I love to do! I also play the ukulele and sing and now I am not self-conscious anymore about my teeth showing! At 67 years of age, I thought I was too old for invisalign. I had been a thumb sucker when I was young and the result was a terrible over bite. Thirty years ago, dentists told me that in order to wear braces to correct my bite, I first had to go through dental surgery which I didn't want to do. Then just a few years ago, my bottom teeth started raising and would hit the roof of my mouth when I ate my meals causing painful sores. I wore invisalign for 14 months and it truly is a miracle how they straightened and lowered my bottom teeth. I never believed it was possible. Now at 69 years of age, I love to smile again! (I'm the one in the orange top!)

I absolutely love Dr. Patra! Its so nice to go to a doctor's office, and the whole staff automatically recognize you by face and know your name. My kids have been going to Dr. Patra since they were 9yrs old, they are now teenagers and the service has never change. She explains everything to you before something is done, does a price break down and if a service is not necessary she doesn't do it. I wish she also removed wisdom teeth cause I would go nowhere else.
