We truly believe in furthering our education so that we can learn all we can. This not only benefits us but also helps our patients. We use this knowledge to give you the most up-to-date treatments so that you can have a smile that you are proud to show off.
We are proud to offer many different technologies so that you can get straight teeth in a way that works for you. We would be glad to go over all of your options so that together we can make the right decision for you and your mouth.
We also know how scary it can be to go to the dentist and orthodontist. Many people fear coming in, so we do everything that we can to provide a calm and comfortable environment. Our staff is great at what they do. They are here to discuss any of your concerns and put you at ease.
There is also nothing worse than feeling like you are not able to discuss your teeth with your orthodontist. We dont want you to feel that way, so we are all here to help answer any questions you may have, no matter how silly you think they are. We can assure you that we have heard most of them already!
If you have any questions about how we can straighten your teeth and give you a better looking smile, please dont hesitate to call us at (805) 547-7080 (San Luis Obispo) or (805) 462-5995 (Atascadero). Thank you!
The goal of the ABO is to promote the highest level of orthodontics. They want all orthodontists to be held to a high standard so that their patients get the care they deserve. They also want to protect the general public against orthodontists who are unqualified to practice.
The ABO has several main objectives. The first is to provide examinations and certificates to graduates who are able to practice orthodontics at a high level. They also offer a diplomates career, which means that orthodontists are re-evaluated through their career and with examinations to ensure that they are practicing the way that they should be.
After an orthodontist becomes certified, the ABO helps to continue the orthodontists education with continuing education programs. They want to promote the latest technologies so certified orthodontists can continue to give patients the care they deserve.
Though it is worth it, it is not easy to become board certified. Orthodontists must pass both written and clinical examinations. The board will also go over their credentials to make sure that they are qualified to receive the honor. This process can take quite a few years, usually between five and ten years. Once an orthodontist becomes certified, he or she will have to become re-certified every ten years to maintain the board-certified status.
Whether you can fix the problem or not, it is very important to let us know what is happening. We may need to take a look at your braces to see if we need to do any repair work on them so that they will continue to work as it should.

Dr. Freeman and his staff are amazing! I couldn't be happier with not only my outcome but the way in which I've been considered and cared for during my complicated case. And I'm a tough critic of all healthcare clinics especially when in comes to customer/patient service and satisfaction. Dr Freeman is a genius and greater listener, he's patient and kind. He's helped me not only avoid surgery and losing my teeth (because of an underbite that was chipping and cracking my teeth), but has also made my smile and teeth look better than I could have imagined!! My case was very complicated and took 6 years, but I'd do it again because I know I'm in great hands! And the results speak for themselves - I no longer fear breaking my teeth and have a normal bite now! I don't think you can find a better person as well as orthodontist than Dr. Freeman. His staff are all so considerate and kind as well! 5 stars to all of them!

Great job by Dr. Freeman. I was a transfer patient from another orthodontist office. So glad I decided to come to him. He is very thorough and explains what he is doing every step of the way. Just got my braces removed and I am so happy with the results

Dr. Freeman has been fantastic for our boys, and I am currently an Invisalign patient. I can't say enough great things about the office, his great support team, and the treatment that my family has received.

My daughters teeth look awesome and I was impressed with such a thorough job Dr. Freeman did on my daughters braces. She gets TONS of compliments on her smile now and I was impressed with the attention to detail and followup Dr. Freeman does for his patients. I would highly recommend him!

As a teen I got braces through Dr.Freeman with the hopes of permanently making my mouth better..straight teeth & to correct my "over bite"(front teeth not meeting when I bite). Now that some years have gone by, I've noticed that Dr.Freeman did not complete the treatment. I was not given a retainer to keep my teeth straight after the removal of the braces. He left a wire across the back of my front teeth on the bottom, which I ended up snipping out myself. Super disappointed that my folks had to come up with $4,000 only to create bigger problems with my teeth later on in life. I would have been better off without getting braces. It's a joke.

Dr. Freeman does amazing work and is an all around genuine, warm and welcoming health professional! He listened to all my concerns and worked with my budget! He has his own new and innovative ideas and was able to move several of my teeth that had migrated since the loss of my Holly retainer. I was super happy with my results and the extremely reasonable cost of his treatment, compared to what other orthodontists had quoted me. I highly recommend at least getting into his office and having a consultation with him, you won't regret it!

I have always hated my crooked teeth. I resented not having them straightened when I was a kid because I thought I missed my chance. Doc Freeman hooked me up...and now I love my teeth.
