My wife and I took my son to Advanced Orthodontic Specialists after a poor experience at another…read moreOrthodontic office. We contacted Sarah, the Director of Operations, and were able to secure an appointment within days. Sarah truly gave a great first impression of the organization. We arrived for our 5pm appointment at 4:50pm and immediately greeted by Mary who led us back. Mary took our son for imaging and came back and have a comprehensive explanation between treatment options. Mary is a true professional who is kind and caring. Dr. Bicknell then came into the consultation room and went through our sons images with us. Dr. Bicknell took a tremendous amount of time to thoroughly explain our options, answer questions, and give his professional opinion. I have never encountered a doctor who had such a great demeanor and was able to explain the treatment options as Dr. Bicknell. Although there are many other Orthodontic offices much closer and more convenient to where we reside, I won't go to any other office because of how great the operation is run and the level of care and treatment Advanced Orthodontic Specialists offers.

Far too often, I am treated like a number upon entering a medical or dental office. Rarely do I…read morehear something as simple as "Hi, how are you?" Usually, it's something like "Name? Okay, have a seat and the doctor will see you shortly." Not at Advanced Orthodontic Specialists. I'm always greeted by my first name the moment I walk through the door. The desk receptionists make a point of treating each patient like a person, remembering names and sometimes facts about the person. Many times while in the waiting room, I've heard the girls at the front desk ask patients how their soccer games went or if they had a fun time on vacation.   That's not to mention the very short wait times. I can't tell you how many times I've been in a waiting room for well past my appointment time. This has never happened at Dr. Bicknell's office.  I'm always being seated within 10 minutes of entering the office. The office itself is extremely clean and inviting. It even has a video game room and tooth brushing station!   The care received always surpasses my expectations. Dr. Bicknell and the assistants are all extremely knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. Dr. Bicknell's passion for his job is clear as he always goes above and beyond to create the perfect smile. I couldn't be happier with how my teeth look!   It's the little things that go to show how dedicated Dr. Bicknell is to providing the best possible patient experience. I cannot recommend this office enough to anyone interested in getting braces for themselves or their kids.

I had the most SATISFYING experience at Ortho 2 Smile with Dr. Corina Radu and her highly skilled…read morestaff. I cannot stress enough how professional, compassionate and gentle they all were to my child, I am so grateful and appreciative because what they did for my son went far beyond what was expected. In the past my 10-year-old son had some very trumatic and UNNECESSARY procedures done (at First family dental) that included two baby root canals, silver caps and an extraction on his baby teeth. This incident left him with EXTREME ANXIETY and FEAR of sitting in the dentist chair and even the sounds dentists tools make. So I immediately knew after leaving our appointment from Ortho 2 Smile when my son said to me, "I really liked it here Mommy," "Can we always come here?" That Dr. Corina Radu and her beautiful and empathetic staff had POSITIVELY amended my child's future experiences at the dentist office. Thank you Ortho 2 Smile.

Dr. DeGroot is a great surgeon and spends as much time as a patient needs to answer questions. The…read moresupport staff is also top-notch. He extracted both of my bottom front teeth and installed an implant w/cantilever to replace them. Because they were front teeth, there was a need to have a bone graft (as apparently the front teeth do not have as much bone and space to have a lot to attach the implant). No one wants to go thru such a thing, but if I had to do it again, I would again use Dr. Bradley DeGroot. Details: * he provided the options available to me * he explained things very well--and I typically have lots of questions--particularly in regard to options, but also for long-term viability of choices being compared * the office staff was very friendly and efficient--felt like a nice extension of Dr. DeGroot's capabilities * executed the surgery very well...because I had to have both bottom front teeth extracted/replaced, there was a need to do a bone graft to provide a better landing zone for the implant. As is apparently typical for front teeth, there was only room for one implant, so a cantilever was used for the other one. I had sought opinion of another periodontist/implant specialist for this procedure, and they seemed to know what they were doing, but I didn't get the same level of comfort that I did when I spoke with Dr. DeGroot. The first doctor spoke more like a surgeon, but Dr. DeGroot spoke more like a person solving your problems. He explained things very well and he is VERY thorough--my dentist (who is also quite good) indicated so, too. Dr. DeGroot's exam was more thorough than the first periodontist/implant specialist I sought. Not going to mention name of first doctor, because I'm sure the other doctor is fine and not looking to taint anyone here, but I just felt more comfortable with Dr. DeGroot. * he and his team were incredibly flexible and understanding. When I shared my extreme aversion to needles (and I needed three shots to numb the area for the bone graft and implants), I asked for LOTS of numbing agent before they put the needle injections into my gums - three needle shots were coming!!! - and once the assistant put enough numbing agent, and Dr. DeGroot apparently deftly placed the needle injections, I literally didn't feel ANYthing when he gave me those three injections! Yowza, that was nice! And once the injections were done (with novocaine, I suppose), I didn't feel anything during the surgery for extraction, bone grafting, and implantation. I was quite pleased--except for having lost two of my front teeth, of course. :-) * wore retainer to cover the two missing teeth for about 4 months, while the bone graft healed...no issues, but as I was counseled by his team, it was best to remove for eating. * had no issues with after-surgery care, as I simply followed the instructions on the rinse care and what I should/shouldn't eat. * saw Dr. DeGroot for temporary crown/cantilever, which is apparently standard for front teeth, due to their more aesthetically noticeable location--this procedure went well, too...it was nowhere near as difficult as the main extraction/implantation surgery, as the "worst of it" was done at this point. * I then saw my general dentist for performing the permanent crown/cantilever. * it has been 8 months since the implant was done, and no issues. I have had the permanent crown/cantilever for 2 months, and have had no issues. All seems great, with no limitations on my lifestyle! I can floss around the implant, and I even floss around under the cantilever, as there is a natural (very small) space under it--not noticeable to others, but it inherently is not going to go immediately contiguous to the gum line. I will consider a water-pick for flossing, but thus far have had no reason to consider it. Conclusion: Overall, a very good experience, considering the not-so-pleasant need for having two front teeth extracted and replaced. I would use Dr. DeGroot again, if I had any further need for periodontal issues, and I would recommend him to anyone who had the misfortune of having to have implants done.
