Welcome to Dover Orthodontics, where our focus is always on you, our patient. We love creating unique smiles and excellent oral health for our patients, and we equally love getting to know each patient and their family throughout the treatment process. Our patients become members of our extended family, and we look forward to their visits.

Dr. Amy Dover and our orthodontic team believe in providing exceptional care in a friendly and inviting environment, where our patients can relax and know that they are in great hands. We are known in our community for our gentle and effective orthodontic treatments combined with a fun atmosphere. Ours is a happy practice, with lots of smiles and laughter from our staff and our patients. Even patients who are initially a little timid are soon grinning and joking with us.

We understand that everyone has different orthodontic needs and goals in seeking treatment. We also understand that there is always more than one way of approaching a treatment path. Instead of dictating a certain process or procedure, Dr. Dover takes time to explain different treatment options and how they work, answering questions from the patient and the patients parents, and provides the family with the information needed to make educated decisions. We want our families involved with the treatment, to be excited about starting down the path to a great new smile and increased self-confidence.
