Orthodontic Team

The Team Approach:

The many positive life changing rewards of orthodontic treatment are best achieved through a team approach involving the doctor, the team, the patient and the support of the family. Our team consists of highly-trained, knowledgeable individuals who are patient-centered, professional and caring.

We are proud of our commitment to excellent service and treatment for each and every patient. Our goal is to educate you about the benefits of orthodontic treatment and to ease you through the treatment process in a way that easily fits into your lifestyle. With communication being of utmost importance, Dr. Flores and his team are always available to answer your questions and keep you updated during the treatment process. We listen; we want to know all of your concerns about specialized orthodontic care so they can be addressed with your understanding in mind.

Dr. Flores and his team take personal interest in each patient’s needs and concerns about orthodontic care. Our Registered Dental Assistants have special orthodontic training and licensing and have been selectively chosen for their high level of technical excellence and their dedication to staying current with the newest and most effective techniques in orthodontic care.
