She then attended four years of dental training to earn her doctorate degree with top honors from Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine.

Upon completion of dental school, only ten percent of graduates are accepted into post-graduate specialty programs. Dr. Dana was accepted into the largest orthodontic residency program in the country at Saint Louis University. After defending her thesis and completing the required two-and-a-half years of study, she was honored to graduate as Valedictorian of her residency class. During her residency in Saint Louis, Dr. Dana also completed a one-year fellowship on the Cleft Palate and Craniofacial Anomalies team at Cardinal Glennon Childrens Hospital.

Dr. Dana grew up in Colorado where she developed her love of blue skies and the beautiful Rocky Mountains. She and her husband Neil have four kids and are thrilled to be raising their family in Greeley.

Dr. Dana loves being an orthodontist because it enables her to build working relationships with patients of all ages, helping them achieve a healthy bite and a beautiful smile. Being an orthodontist requires one to be a scientist, an artist, an architect, a teacher, a motivator, a counselor, and afriend. Dr. Dana strives to treat her patients as family and hopes that you enjoy the partnership and friendship that is formed during your orthodontic treatment.

We recognize that all of 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.

We know that choosing an orthodontist is a very personal decision. There are many orthodontic offices and treatment options available to you. Here are just a few details about our office that describe what sets us apart.

Dr. Dana is a board-certified orthodontist. Becoming board certified signifies an orthodontists pursuit of continued proficiency and excellence in orthodontics. Board certification is a voluntary process that involves a series of rigorous oral, clinical, and written examinations to prove excellence in the field of orthodontics.

Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is a top priority in our office. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about dental visits. We work hard to make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible. We strive to make the orthodontic experience one that you and/or your child will remember with positive memories.

We have one office location and one orthodontist. You can count on Dr. Danas personal attention throughout your entire orthodontic experience. As a solo practitioner, Dr. Dana does not delegate treatment decisions to an associate doctor or partner. This leads to great consistency during treatment and ensures that there is no confusion or potential treatment concern that could arise from differing opinions between multiple doctors or as a result of multiple locations.

We are committed to supporting the community that we are so fortunate to serve. Please see our Giving Back page to see how you can partner with us. We are thankful to have the opportunity to give back in various ways.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that all children be screened by an orthodontist for orthodontic problems at age seven. Dr. Dana agrees with this recommendation, being aware that some orthodontic problems are best treated in two phases: phase one treatment (age seven to ten) and then a second phase (full braces) around the age of 12. Wonderful things can be accomplished with two-phase treatment! However, recent research has demonstrated that some orthodontic problems, even though quite severe-looking, are best treated in a single stage of treatment at age 12, rather than in two phases.

Our office is technologically advanced in the field of orthodontics. We utilize digital photographs and radiographs as well as CBCT 3D imaging and intraoral iTero scanning with in-office 3D printing. By using the highest-level technology, we enhance the patient experience while ensuring the most accurate diagnostic methods available.

There are new and exciting treatment modalities in orthodontics. In the past, orthodontists would use heavy forces to move the teeth. Today in orthodontics, we utilize light forces and low friction to move teeth faster and more gently than ever before. The results are outstanding! Youll benefit from our use of these latest technologies in the following ways:

Our patients can be assured that we follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines for sterilization techniques. We use hospital-grade sterilizers and test the equipment regularly to adhere to the strictest of protocols.

When you arrive at our office, you will immediately notice that you have entered a state-of-the-art facility with the latest orthodontic technology housed in a warm, welcoming, and relaxing atmosphere. We strive to make our office a comfortable place to be through the use of encouraging music, complimentary coffee and tea, a young childrens play area, game stations, a movie theater room for older patients, and a beautiful view of the Rocky Mountains.
