1. To offer each patient the absolute BEST and highest quality of clinical orthodontic care available today. Every patient that our team serves will have the smile that we created for them for the rest of their lives, I take that responsibility very seriously.
2. That each patient served by myself and our team leaves our practice saying, That is the BEST experience I have ever had at a doctor/dentist office. Customer service and truly caring for the patient experience is something that is not a part of what we do, it is what we do.
Dr. Chad Foster is an Arizona native! He grew up in Tempeand went to Seton Catholic High School in Chandler where he was a state champion in tennis. His family owns Petes Fish & Chips, which has been family owned and operated in Arizona since 1947. (Pete was his grandpa.)
Dr. Foster is married to Natalie Foster, who is an art therapist, and they reside in Phoenix. Dr. Foster is a self-admitted orthodontic nerd, andobsessed with anything he can read involving advances in the field of orthodontics. If he is not spending time with his family, he is probably thinking about moving teeth!
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
At Butterfly Orthodontics, we pride ourselves on the fact that we do things a bit differently from many other offices. In an age where corporate interests, chain-volume clinics, and one-size-fits-all treatments have prioritized things other than the highest possible patient care, we are very different.
Since 1972, our practice culture has been defined by treatment excellence, customer service, and honesty above all else. Our primary interest in every single decision we make is what our patients need, not what we need. Our first responsibility to every patient is to be their trusted advisor about their orthodontic needs and how treatment will affect their facial appearance, their smile, and their dental health.
We are interested in each patients personal transformation. We want our patients to see themselves as special, to aspire to do more and be more than they might otherwise have done. We dont want just to transform the teeth, the smile, and the face; we want to transform their image of themselves.
High technology is everywhere you look in our practice, from the biometric touchpad at the front desk to the computer-aided treatment planning and cone beam CT scans. We use the best super-elastic wires and high technology Damon Smile brackets. If it is the best that is available, you will get it here!
We have been using computer-aided design methods for more than 30 years for every patients treatment planning, to ensure the best results possible. On our growing patients, this method includes a computer-aided growth forecast of both facial growth and body height.
Your smile deserves the best and most efficient technology that is available, and we are very proud to be known for providing just that. We were the first orthodontic practice in Arizona to adopt the use of cone beam CT scans, just as soon as they became available in 2004. We were also the first practice in Arizona to fully adopt theuse of the Damon bracket.
We have more than a decade of experience and several thousand cases where both of these methods have been used to simplify and speed up our patients treatment. It has also made it possible for us to save many teeth from extraction.
