Its a joy to spend my days helping people achieve their healthiest, most beautiful smile. As an orthodontist, I meet amazing people and have the honor of learning about their lives, families, and interests. Their stories delight me and I look forward to each persons visits as a time to see their orthodontic progress and hear their latest news.
At Straight Smiles Orthodontics, my team and I know that having a healthy smile and straight teeth will change your life. Every day, we watch our patients gain confidence and see their self-esteem grow by leaps and bounds. People who started treatment feeling ashamed of their crooked teeth, hiding their smile behind closed lips and a ducked head, now smile and laugh with ease. By the time they finish treatment, each patient has a smile they love and love to share. Best of all, theyre going to have that wonderful smile for the rest of their life!
We focus on each person as an individual, and striveto understand their personal goals and concerns. Only through clear and open communication are we able to deliver the best care, thats tailored to each patients specific needs. This ensures the best treatment experience and most incredible, lasting results!
My Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) was awarded by Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine. I chose to remain at Stony Brook for my orthodontic residency. The education I received providedme withan excellent foundational understanding of orthodontics.
However, orthodontic techniques, technologies, and materials are constantly changing. These advances mean even more comfortable care and more amazing results for my patients. I take the trust patients place in meto develop their best smileseriously. By pursuing continuing education throughout the year, I ensure that Ill exceed their expectations.
I was born and raised in Whitestone, Queens. After college, I moved out to Suffolk county to attend dental school and have resided in the Three Village Area for over 20 years. I am a Three Village Dad and have a son Billy and a daughter Breanna.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice. We are pleased to welcome you and your family, and we look forward to working with you.
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.

We started using this practice 7 years ago and we've had nothing but positive experiences. Both of our daughters, 9 & 6, love everyone here and they are great at making the kids feel comfortable whenever they are nervous. Kids leave with smiles every time. I recommend this practice to all of my friends with children.

Dr. Bill is very nice and great with his patients. However....they have IMPOSSIBLE appointment times. They are only open 2 days a week with the LATEST appointment at 1-2:00pm! I have had to take multiple days off from work and my teenager miss many days of school over wearing braces for almost 3 years!!!!! If you work, and your child attends school, find a different office, if I didn't have his braces paid off, I would!

My daughters have been patients for many years. It's been a pleasure whenever we are there. We are greeted with smiling faces which sets my girls at ease. The place is beautifully decorated, very clean, and everyone is friendly. If you have little- I would definitely recommend using Straight Smiles.
