Dr. Carters’ Experience
Services We Offer
Invisalign® Clear Aligners
Invisalign® Clear Aligners offer a discreet, comfortable way to straighten teeth using a series of nearly invisible trays—no brackets, no wires, and no lifestyle disruptions. Guided by advanced digital planning and expert clinical precision, each treatment is custom-tailored for efficient, predictable results. It’s a seamless, modern approach to achieving a confident, healthy smile.
Fully Custom Braces
Tired of long treatment times and uncomfortable adjustments? Dr. Carter uses fully custom braces designed just for you! Using advanced 3D technology to create a personalized treatment plan that's more efficient and comfortable than traditional braces. Experience fewer appointments, faster results, and a smile that's perfectly yours.
Corrective Jaw Surgery
This life-changing treatment can improve your ability to chew, speak, and breathe, while also enhancing your facial aesthetics. If you're struggling with an underbite, overbite, open bite, facial asymmetry, or sleep apnea, Dr. Carter and his team can help you achieve a functional, healthy, and beautiful smile.
Patient Testimonials
Dr. Carter and his team were excellent! They are very easy to talk with, worked with us through any concerns we had, made sure we understood the treatment plan, and provided the best care. They ensured my daughter was comfortable at every appointment. I just can’t say enough good about the care we received. They’re excellent! I definitely recommend them to everyone 😁.
As an adult in braces, I was concerned about how it might affect my confidence, but with Dr. Carter, I left each appointment feeling more confident. They helped educate me on what was going on with each step of treatment, making me feel more comfortable with braces. It’s thanks to them that I wake up and smile more every day.
Dr Carter came into my life when I was dealing with the worst dental trauma I could have imagined. He and his team not only fixed my teeth and brought my smile back, but they also made me feel like family during the months-long treatment that they provided. You would be hard pressed to find a better orthodontist!
After having my teeth shift many years post-braces, Dr. Carter was able to get me set up with Invisalign. The treatment has been so comfortable, easy, and has given me results that have boosted my confidence. Thank you, team, you’re the best!
