As the new-patient coordinator, I enjoy welcoming patients and their families to our practice.

I enjoy seeing the changes that happen during treatment and the end result of beautiful smiles and happy patients.

Outside of the office I love spending time with my son Cadyn and fur baby Stella. My most favorite thing to do is travel and explore.

We realize you have a choice aboutwhichoffice you will allow to provide your orthodontic treatment. Thank you for your interest in our practice! Below are just a few reasons why we believe ours the best choice.

Though many dental professionals have the ability to put on braces, Dr. Crock is a specialist in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. This means he spent three years beyond his dental training to earn his masters degree in orthodontics and that he limits his practice to orthodontic care. Therefore, Dr. Crock can focus 100% of his energy on staying at the forefront of orthodontic treatment, technology, and advancements.

One of the most significant parts of the treatment process that will naturally affect the orthodontic result is not the type of braces used, but how they are placed on the teeth. Rest assured that Dr. Crock positions every band, bracket, and any other appliance necessary for tooth movement. Not all orthodontic practices provide this type of care. Ourshas one location and one orthodontic specialist. You can remain confident that only Dr. Crock will plan and guide your treatment.

Over the years, Dr. Crock has provided treatment to patients referred by many dentists. However, their trust in his care does not stop there. Dr. Crock has also treated the staff, families, and children of these referring professionals.

Dr. Crock helped design our new office that opened in July 2001. It is furnished with state-of-the-art equipment to provide a comfortable, modern facility where we offer our patients the highest level of care possible. Also, for the enjoyment of those in our waiting area, we offer a free WiFi network to access with all your portable electronic devices.

Our office utilizes the latest digital radiography. Not only is it friendly to the environment, digital radiography is much safer than traditional X-rays, because it reducesradiation by as much as 90%. We use our soft-tissue laser to create more aesthetic smiles by removing excess gum tissue and recontouring uneven gumlines. In addition, it can speed up treatment by removing tissue that might prevent tooth eruption.
