Our Roseville office is easily accessible for those coming from nearby Blaine, Falcon Heights, Little Canada, Minneapolis, New Brighton, St. Paul, Shoreview, and St. Anthony. And our office couldn’t be easier to find: just off Highway 36. Take the Hamline Ave exit, and we’re across the street from Ramsey County Library.
Orthodontics are for the young (and those slightly older)
When’s the best time to get started? Now! If you’re at least seven years old, you should have an initial orthodontic evaluation. For children, now’s a good time to identify any issues that might require early treatment. It has helped a lot of families save money down the road.
Hey teenagers! Now’s the perfect time for you to get braces or Invisalign clear aligners. You know why? Because all your permanent teeth are in, so we can get started on a healthy smile that lasts a lifetime.
And if we could speak to the adults present, now’s your turn to shine. You’ve always wanted a beautiful, confident smile for reasons both personal and professional, and who can blame you? You don’t have to put it off any longer.
Don’t forget our generous offer of a free initial consultation. It comes complete with an oral exam with our doctor, digital X-rays, 3D mouth scan, and a personalized treatment plan. And did we mention it’s free?
