Serving patients of all ages, Dr. Vic and Dr. Hailey Taylor combine elite expertise with on time appointments and clear pricing.
History
Established in 2008.
Founded in July 2008, Facing the Future Orthodontics began with a single mission: to deliver comprehensive orthodontic and dentofacial orthopedic care that puts patient goals first. Dr. Victor Grazina built the practice from day one using advanced 3D CBCT imaging—making him one of the early pioneers of airway-focused orthodontics on Long Island.
Over the past 18+ years, our practice serves Riverhead, East Hampton, South Fork, North Fork, and the surrounding communities. Today, Dr. Vic and Dr. Hailey Taylor treat families across the East End, diagnosing not just crooked teeth, but underlying jaw growth, mouth breathing, snoring, and sleep issues. From early jaw guidance for 4-year-olds to discreet adult treatments, Facing the Future has helped over 15,000 East End neighbors face their future with health and confidence.
Meet the Business Owner: Victor G.
Dr. Victor Grazina ("Dr. Vic") came into dentistry as an 11-year-old patient after a playground accident broke his front tooth. Watching the dentist repair it sparked a lifelong passion. After training at Tufts Orthodontics, Dr. Vic saw two extremes in dental care: high-volume clinics with rushed visits, and luxury practices that ran hours late. He founded Facing the Future Orthodontics to offer the best of both: elite, uncompromising clinical care delivered with respect for your time.
A residency lecturer at Stony Brook and Northwell Health, and Past President of the American Lingual Orthodontic Association, Dr. Vic is a recognized leader in airway-focused orthodontics, 3D jaw analysis, and custom hidden braces. He treats patients from ages 4 to 85+, starting every consultation by asking what you want your future smile and health to look like—then giving you the expert tools to get there.
