My daughter is 7, was having trouble with snoring and grinding her teeth. Powers took look at her scans explained that she really needed expanders to help create more of an open air way- 1 month later, here we are about to get the expanders off and she breathing 100% better at night no more snoring or grinding! The staff is very kind, gentle and informative all the way through each appointment. Couldn't be happier with them !

We have had such a great experience at Power & Pryse! My 6 year old had to have a mouth device and it was a smooth and easy process to get his perfect fit. It's not easy being one of the little guys in what's mostly a "big kid dentist" but the staff was so sweet and welcoming and very accommodating to his wild personality! The dr. Was very encouraging and helped him have full confidence with his new device!

Great orthodontist. Both of our boys have had braces and it has gone very smooth with both of them. Great service and friendly people from the front desk, to the hygienists, and to Dr. Pryse. We have never used Dr. Power.

The staff and Dr. Pryse are always so nice and caring to our daughter, who was terrified of getting her braces. We would definitely recommend them to anyone!
