I haven't been in for about 6 years and had a small adjustment I needed done on my permanent retainer and to get a new removable retainer and they got me in and fixed up super quick!

Had my braces done 16 years ago. Came back to have retainer replaced. Still the same great atmosphere. The staff was great and very helpful.

Horrible experience with these men. Be warned and weary. They do not like queer kids.

I went to see Dr. JK for a second opinion, he and all the staff have been exceptional! He did give pretty close recommendations to the first orthodontist I seen, however when it came to the financial aspect of things- they far exceeded what I had previously been offered. I feel like this office puts it's best foot forward into making orthodontic treatment an affordable option for ALL families. For me, that is a HUGE factor as this type of treatment is not cheap. I will have my braces put on in a couple weeks and finally don't have a feeling of dread. I would refer anybody to this office and will do just that!!

I can't say enough good things about this place! The care they provided for my son was outstanding! They were patient and friendly, explained things well, and listened carefully to my input. My son had brackets on his front teeth, and several times, he managed to bend or break the wire, resulting in sharp ends poking his mouth. Dillehay Ortho made time for us on extremely short notice, fixed everything quickly, and even provided me with extra wax to put on the ends of the wires. I would send anyone to this business. They truly make their patients feel special.

Awesome experience! I've went to Dillehay Orthodontics through my whole braces experience. I went last week and he gave me my new clear retainers for free!! I would definitely recommend Dillehay for your Ortho needs.

Thank you for providing tooth moving trays at no cost for our son who had one tooth that had moved after being out of braces for awhile. Friendly, attentive staff.

Had a great experience today. Came in 2 years after my final braces appointment because my permanent and plastic retainer had broken, and Doctor replaced it free of charge. Tremendous act of generosity before I head back to school for the semester. Beyond pleased with the service of everyone here

I cannot say enough good things about Dillehay Orthodontics. I got braces from them and my teeth were absolutely perfect. My retainer broke when I was in basic training. They got me right in when I got back and got me taken care of right away. I also have calcium deposits on my front teeth. After my first MI Paste treatment, I can tell a noticeable difference and they blend in with the rest of my teeth. I would definitely recommend Dillehay Orthodontics. Both doctors are extremely professional, personable, and genuinely care about their patients.

Dr. Dillehay is such a talented orthodontist. He cares about getting you a perfect smile in a caring environment. The staff at the office are so sweet. Especially Sherri and Melody the receptionists always greet everyone in the office with a warm smile and are so pleasant on the phone and always with a kind word. I look forward to going to the office and I refer my friends and family here. 10 stars for Dr. Dillehay and team.
