Dr. Joshua Jones is passionate about creating smiles that are beautiful and functional. It is his goal to have each patient finish treatment with a healthy, stable bite and an incredible smile that radiates confidence.

He completes courses in orthodontics, as well as general dentistry, to stay informed of the latest techniques, technologies, and emerging research. By staying current in his specialty and general dental trends, he is able to design individual treatment plans that address each persons dental health and their smile goals.

A native of St. Charles Parish, Dr. Jones resides in Metairie with his wife Wendy, children Katelyn, Kristina, Matthew, and Sophia, and a Cocker Spaniel named Lady. A devoted father and family man, he is dedicated to giving each of his children the love, attention, and time they need and deserve.

When hes not in the office, Dr. Jones loves to travel, though that can be challenging with four active children. Having spent his residency in Florida, Disney World is, hands down, the familys favorite destination!

Though the kids keep them quite busy, Dr. Jones and his wife devote time and volunteer with numerous ministries at their church, St. Clement of Rome in Metairie. They believe it is important for children to learn to serve others at an early age, so they may continue to do so as they get older, and feel it is important to model this behavior. The couple also enjoys the acts of outreach, and treasures the connections they build with the community.

Dr. Jones especially enjoys ministry through the St. Clement choir. Singing at church doesnt seem to be enough, though, as he loves to serenade his patients and staff throughout the day. In fact, hes come to be known as The Singing Orthodontist!

Joanna has worked in orthodontics since 2000 and brings her extensive experience and dedication to each patients care. She enjoys seeing our patients happiness at the end of treatment and takes pride in knowing she was part of creating those gorgeous smiles!

Kim has helped to construct our patients appliances that help improve alignment, including retainers that stabilize the finished smile, since 1982. Her work is hands-on with artistic detail, but there is no better detail for Kim than our patients unique, beautiful smiles! She loves giving patients a feeling of satisfaction with their new smiles.

Melissa assists Dr. Jones during all orthodontic procedures. She prepares for the placement of the braces, changes archwires, is an expert at bending lower permanent retainers, and shows patients how to wear their elastics. She also teaches patients how to properly brush their teeth, once the braces have been placed, to keep their teeth clean and healthy.

Melissas experience is a testament to her dedication to gentle patient care: she has been an Orthodontic Assistant since 1996. She is fun-loving and kind, and enjoys working with our team. Watching patients progress through treatment, and develop beautiful smiles, is Melissas favorite part of her job!

Wendy has been in the dental field since 2000 and loves getting to know our patients during their time with us. For her, helping people have a great experience while achieving a beautiful smile, is deeply rewarding!

Wendy and her husband, Dr. Jones, love spending time together and with their four children. The family enjoys going out for walks and watching movies together. They also love festivals, the theater, and going out for Sunday brunch in the city after Mass.

Yvette has been with us since 1996. She appreciates Dr. Joness care and concern for all of his patients, and his dedication to giving each a great smile. She, along with every member of our team, loves seeing our patients to reach their goals of healthy mouths and beautiful smiles!

When shes not at the office, Katelyn enjoys listening to music, watching TV, and loves taking her dog Leo on walks. She is the oldest of four children and enjoys spending time with her family and friends.

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.

When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.

Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.

Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.
