Sawyer Orthodontics

216 W 21st Ave, Covington, LA 70433

As an orthodontist, I have the unique opportunity to change people's lives by improving their smile and their self-esteem. I love knowing that I impact the children and adults of our community by enabling them to feel confident as they pursue their dreams.

  • College: Graduated summa cum laude with BBA and MBA degrees from Millsaps College, Jackson, MS. Member of Omicron Delta Kappa Honor Society. Chi Omega Executive Council. Volunteer for Habitat for Humanity.
  • My highest goal professionally is to provide the most effective, efficient and comfortable treatments for my patients. By learning about the latest orthodontic treatments and technology, I am able to ensure that my patients will always receive the best care available.

    As a part of my continuing education, I am a member of the Hinman Dental Society, which holds numerous seminars as well as a large annual meeting in Atlanta. I also participate in Dawson Academy courses and attend yearly conferences in orthodontics and other dental specialties. By studying the latest orthodontic research and proven methods, I know my patients will attain beautiful, healthy smiles that last a lifetime.

    My patients come to me because they want a beautiful new smile. I enjoy getting to know each patient personally, and make sure they also get a wonderful orthodontic experience. After all, getting a new smile should be enjoyable! Of course, the best part of what I do is seeing the final results, and how happy my patients are. Not only does their appearance improve, but they are often much more comfortable than before treatment, and their teeth are much easier to clean. Lives change in our office every day, and I'm proud of what I do for our patients.

    Braces are not just for kids and teens, and I love working with people of all ages. Everyone benefits differently from his or her orthodontic experience, and personally knowing each patient and how orthodontic treatment affects their lives is my greatest reward. Excellent patient care is the center of our daily focus, and my team and I love what we do!

    I grew up in Covington, and love serving the people of my hometown. My husband, Allen, and I have three wonderful sons named Brody, Harrison, and Parker. When I am not in the office, you can find me spending time with family and friends, traveling, reading, or exercising. I also travel weekly to the Children's Hospital of Atlanta, where I work in the Craniofacial Clinic providing orthodontic care to patients with craniofacial anomalies.

    Don't worry! Braces aren't nearly as scary as you may think. In fact, braces today come in a variety of styles, materials, and colors, making life with braces much easier, more comfortable, and even more stylish than in the past.

  • Early treatment Early treatment allows orthodontists to monitor the growth of the jaw and recommend further orthodontic treatment if it becomes necessary. Not everybody receives early orthodontic treatment; in some cases it may be recommended that a patient wait to receive treatment.
  • What needs correction The amount of treatment needed to correct a problem will determine how long the process takes. Different patients react to treatments differently. While it may take one patient only 12 months to complete treatment, it may take another patient 24 months. Treatment times can vary depending on how quickly your body responds and how much work is needed to give you the show-stopping smile you expect.
  • YOU! Your willingness to use the appliances your orthodontist gives you plays a major role in the length of time it takes to complete your treatment. Always remember to take care of your braces and appliances; this truly will help make your treatment shorter!
  • Orthodontic braces are a big part of life for many people your age. While braces may have had a bad reputation in the past, today's braces make it easy to look good and feel good! Please contact our practice to schedule your next orthodontic checkup.

    Orthodontic treatment is no longer just for teens. In fact, the American Association of Orthodontists states that one in five orthodontic patients is over the age of 21. Many adults are choosing to receive treatment because they understand the importance of maintaining their health, and they want to feel better about their appearance. Adults everywhere are taking advantage of the opportunity to receive orthodontic care, and now you can too.

    For many adults, the thought of having metal braces is enough to discourage them from receiving treatment. However, today's orthodontic treatment options offer a variety of braces and appliances that are comfortable, aesthetic, and customized to meet your needs. Types of braces include:

    The main difference to remember when treating adults or children and teens, is that in younger patients the jawbones are still developing. For adults, these bones have stopped growing, which may mean the possibility of orthognathic surgery to align the jawbones. Other differences include:

  • Gum or bone loss (periodontal disease) Adults are more likely than children to experience gum recession or even bone loss due to gingivitis or advanced periodontal disease. Patients with straighter teeth are less likely to get gum disease.
  • Worn or missing teeth Over time teeth can become worn down and shift into different positions that can only be corrected with orthodontic care. Missing teeth can cause other teeth to shift and tilt, creating a bad bite and increasing the possibility of gum disease.
  • Incomplete orthodontic treatment as a teen Many adults received some orthodontic treatment as a child or teen, but never completed their treatment. As an adult, they choose to complete their orthodontic treatment to achieve the healthy, beautiful smile they always wanted.
  • Our practice also recognizes that adults and children have different needs, and require a different level of attention and care. We will work with you to ensure that you receive the most appropriate treatments, and that your needs are met with understanding and respect from us.

    Went to get a root canal, the staff was professional and very friendly. Getting a root canal procedure is often associated as an unpleasant event, this place does it right and makes you feel very comfortable. Can't say enough about the endodontist and the staff.

    Dr. Amy is wonderful! I came to her for an open contact (I had no idea that mouth guard and retainers are not the same!) and she stated she would try to be as non-invasive as possible which I appreciated. She's very thorough and informs you about every step she takes during the process. I have been wearing the retainers haven't had issues since then!

    This is the Best orthodontist office! I wish ever doctor office was ran like this one!!!! The staff is super sweet and very helpful. They get back to you quickly and try to help in every way possible. I even know of friends that called them and they did not take their insurance so the nurse that she spoke with even tried to help her with finding somewhere else to go. Then the nurse went as far as to tell her if you anything else please call us and we will help you anyway. They did not have to do that. That was not their job but they did. They make you feel like family not just a number. I would highly recommend any person of any age to go to this office. You will not regret it . Dr Amy is the Best!

    Dr.Amy Sawyer and staff (Anna and Sherie in particular) have been the absolute best to us always!! Walking into their office is never hassle it's always so clean and calm. They treat my daughter like their own! Our care we receive there is the absolute best. I'm even able to call after hours if needed for things like a broken bracket on braces and never felt like a bother they are always so willing to make sure everything is right for us.

It's comforting to know that anytime we have an appointment it will be a great experience! My eight year old feels very comfortable heading to his appointments.
