What I love about being an orthodontist in Fort Collins is how life-changing a gorgeous smile can be for an individual. The self-confidence that comes from being proud of your smile is nothing short of priceless. Orthodontic treatment is truly an investment in yourself with benefits that go beyond obtaining a functional bite.
Dr. Laura Milnor received her undergraduate degree at Colorado State University, then attended dental school at The University of Iowa on an academic and research scholarship. She was elated to be able to continue at Iowa for her orthodontic residency and specialty training. Orthodontists receive an extra two years in specialized training beyond dental school, providing critical expertise in creating beautiful smiles that last a lifetime. She believes very strongly in continuing education and completes well over 100 hours every year.
Dr. Milnor was born and raised right here in Fort Collins and has a special place in her heart for this community. As a result, she strives to support the community and her patients in their educational experiences, athletics, and extracurricular activities.
She is active with Kids in Need of Dentistry (KIND) and the Colorado Orthodontic Foundation (COF), which provide dental and orthodontic care to underserved patients. She is a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the Colorado Dental Association (CDA), the Rocky Mountain Society of Orthodontists (RMSO), the Larimer County Dental Society (LCDS), and the American Academy of Facial Esthetics (AAFE). She is also formally certified in Invisalign treatment, has been a Preferred Provider since 2008, and is currently a Platinum Provider.
When shes not working as an orthodontist in Fort Collins, Dr. Milnor enjoys spending time with her husband, Paris, and her toy poodle, Moose, who is definitely her baby. She thinks there is nothing better than a beautiful day in Colorado and being able to enjoy it biking, hiking, skiing, or just plain relaxing. Her passions include anything athletic, traveling, skiing, yoga, and art.
I feel so lucky to have found my career and true passion in life. Having the opportunity to be involved in transforming someones smile is a gift! I love working in an environment that is genuine, caring, and passionate!

During your initial visit, we can contact your insurance company to determine how much of your treatment will be covered. Well also discuss every available payment option and discount that may apply to your treatment to help you pay for braces or Invisalign.
If you ever have a question regarding your account during your treatment, please contact us at (970) 484-3214 and ask to speak to someone who handles billing. A simple telephone call often clears up any misunderstanding.
If your insurance covers part of your orthodontic treatment, we file every claim and have the payments sent directly to our office, alleviating you from having to deal with submitting forms and forwarding checks.
