At Grant Orthodontics, we work hard to treat our patients the same way we would like to be treated: with respect, courtesy, and sensitivity toward our needs. We understand the expectations of the patients and families we serve, and we do everything we can to make sure that each patient has an exceptional experience at our practice.
An orthodontist is a dental specialist who has received two to three years of additional training and experience. Your orthodontist is able to straighten teeth, correct misaligned jaw structure, and improve the function of your smile.
If you want to improve the look and feel of your smile, then any age can be a great age to see the orthodontist. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children first visit an orthodontist around the age of seven; however, orthodontic treatment is not exclusive to children and teens, with about one in every five orthodontic patients being over the age of 21. Whether you're considering treatment for yourself or for a child, any time is a good time to visit the orthodontist.
The amount of time spent in braces will vary depending on the individual patient, because every smile responds differently to treatment. Treatment times can take anywhere between six and 30 months, but most standard treatments take about 22 months.
With braces, you should brush your teeth at least three times a day to keep your teeth, gums, and mouth healthy and clean. Brushing regularly will help remove any food that may be caught between the braces. You should also floss daily to get in between your braces where your brush isn't able to reach. Your orthodontist can show you how to properly brush and floss once your braces are placed.
Yes! In fact, it's even more important that patients receiving orthodontic treatment visit their dentist regularly. With braces, food may be caught in places that your toothbrush can't reach. This causes bacteria to build up that can lead to cavities, gingivitis, and gum disease. Your dentist will work closely with your orthodontist to make sure that your teeth stay clean and healthy while wearing braces.
Playing an instrument or a contact sport may require some adjustment when you first get your braces, but wearing braces will not stop you from participating in any of your school activities. If you play a contact sport, it is recommended that you wear a mouthguard to protect your braces or appliance.

This was my third time needing an orthodontist. Dr. Grant was recommended by my dentist and I have to say that he is excellent. He is knowledgeable, professional and has a great sense of humor. The staff from front desk to dental assistants are all top notch. If you need an orthodontist, Dr. Grant is an excellent choice.

Dr. Grant and his staff have been nothing but excellent to work with! My daughter recently needed braces and both he and the staff were very informative and clear on all preventative maintenance care for her teeth. The staff has been really great throughout the process, and kept me up to date on all of my daughter's options as she transitioned from braces to her retainer. I highly recommend utilizing their services for all your dentistry needs.

I felt inclined to leave this review & it's a long one, so here goes. I went to Dr. Grants office for a free consultation yesterday and I can honestly say I wish it would have been better. I was uber excited about finally getting somewhere on my braces journey. Upon a quick (around 7-10 min) look at my teeth he decided he had the best treatment option in mind. This is where it went left for me. I'm not sure if it was his satire or tone but he told me I would have to get 3 teeth extracted and wear braces for 2 1/2 - 3 years. This was totally left field for me. I didn't imagine having to get teeth removed and honestly I was stuck on that but only because he just would not explain to me what the end result would look like. Instead of taking the time to break it down for me, he tells the, I'm guessing, dental assistant that she would have to explain it to me because I wasn't getting it. Which I would have if he would have answered my questions straight without all of the seemingly nonchalant remarks. When I asked him if we could try this or maybe that he literally told me "yeah, but someone else would be doing it. It wouldn't be me." And left it at that. No wiggle room. No comforting. Felt more like a I said what I said sorta type situation rather than bringing me to a level of understanding. And I wasn't even getting the smile I wanted. As I was telling him that I was having a hard time seeing what it was gonna look like, he begins telling the DA to get the book to show me the smiles he's made. I read the reviews before coming in the office. It's no doubt he has made beautiful smiles. I wasn't trying to discredit his accomplishments trying to think of another way. But just bc he has made beautiful smiles does not mean that it's ok to disregard explaining the course of treatment you decide in a way a regular person understands. The DA also didn't do much to help either. When I was taken to the other office to further discuss the treatment plan, she couldn't really break it down. I had to ask her to look up a video on my phone to show me what she was explaining and that was crazy to me. Like words, they go a long way. All I was needing to know is, will he be resurfacing the teeth I have so it doesn't look crazy. And it took forever to get to that. Everything I would ask about had only negative or worse case scenarios as a reason to why it wouldn't work. Then told me the only solution to one problem was a solution she had just told me wouldn't work when I mentioned it. Also, she muttered out that my teeth were bad. Like what???? They need correcting but they are NOT bad. I'm sure she meant well, but didn't really make anything better. Then signing up for the plan, I had a lot of questions. Took 3 people to answer questions I had. I cannot remember the name of the lady at the front desk (heaven sent) or the lady who took my Xrays (very funny) but if it weren't for them I would have probably just left. So in the end, I am saddened that this experience left a sour taste in my mouth. This was my first ever consultation and I would have loved for it to have been my only one. I have now scheduled 2 more consultations. I didn't really feel the care from Dr. Grant, maybe it was the day he was having. It did get busy after I got in so I'm hoping so. The reviews are great. But I left the office feeling defeated. Time will tell.

1) On October 31, 2019 @ 5:11pm I paid $150 as a down payment for a treatment plan. The assistant was training a new assistant and she input my information to draft my account monthly. 2) On November 12, 2019 I returned to have 2 spacers inserted by his dental assistants. I was informed that the assistant in training did not enter the information correctly and it would be corrected on my next visit. 3) On November 14, 2019 I paid $150 the 2nd down payment and had only the top row of braces placed on my teeth by his dental assistants. I signed my contract & my debit card was given to have my account debited monthly. Dr. Grant while in front of other patients he had me open my mouth and stated "Dr. Deas assured me that everything was done & I don't put braces on cavities and this needs to be checked again it looks like a cavity. I'm sending you back to him to check it, okay." This was very unprofessional, and rude to do in front of other patients & embarrassing to say the least. That was my last visit at his office. 4) I received a statement that was incorrect and I contacted their office several times regarding this issue and I was informed even though they made the mistake they were still charging me a $25 late fee but they would fix the $303 because I had paid $300, which was not corrected for a previous balance of $164, when I was not a patient. They emailed me stating I could change my payment date, dates listed below in the email. I stated okay I would like to change my payment date to the 19th since I did not start with you until the 14th, and that was approved. I received another late fee by the 5th and another previous balance owed. I called and emailed their officer on December 6th, email attached. I informed their office at that time I no longer wanted to use their service since they are continuing to charge me for their error & incorrect balances. 5) According to Delta Dental they have paid Grant Orthodontics $955.99 as of 1/26/2021 for services that I never received.

We have been with Dr Grant for years. He has treated my 3 daughters one at a time :) and most recently he is treating my last child my son Akhir. Dr. Grant is very personable and professional at the same time. He takes time to answer not only my questions but my son's as well. I highly recommend Dr. Grant if you're looking for an Orthodontics.
