Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign treatment uses custom-made clear aligners to gradually straighten teeth without traditional braces. This method effectively corrects crowding, spacing, and bite issues while maintaining aesthetic appeal. Patients appreciate the removable nature of the aligners for eating and cleaning.
Traditional Braces
Traditional metal braces offer reliable orthodontic correction for complex dental issues. Modern designs feature smaller brackets and lighter wires for increased comfort while maintaining effectiveness in achieving proper alignment and bite correction.
Early Orthodontic Treatment
Early intervention addresses developing dental issues in children aged 7-10. This treatment optimizes jaw growth, creates space for permanent teeth, and reduces future treatment complexity through specialized appliances and monitoring.
Surgical Orthodontics
Surgical orthodontics combines braces with jaw surgery to correct severe bite issues and facial imbalances. This comprehensive approach addresses functional problems while improving facial aesthetics through coordinated pre- and post-surgical orthodontic care.
iTero Scanning
iTero scanning replaces traditional putty impressions with precise digital imaging technology. This non-invasive method creates 3D models of teeth for accurate treatment planning, offering immediate visualization of potential treatment outcomes.

I was treated by Dr. McDonough and his staff for two years. My two daughters were also treated with him as well. So there was no question in my mind as to who I wanted to treat me. The staff is warm, friendly and professional. Dr. McDonough is always thorough, spends the time needed, warm and just plain awesome. Thank you for making my smile beautiful again.

My experience with Dr McDonough and his magnificent team was an experience I shall never forget. My teeth has always been one of my biggest insecurities throughout the beginning of my lifetime. I've never felt as much confidence to present myself as much as I do now. What I've learned throughout the whole process is that time is the most efficient healer, and with enough patience and strength, a lot can change ones mind and soul into a much more beautiful being, inside and out. I've always felt very welcomed into their office at every appointment I've gone to. What a lovely, experienced crew! I most definitely recommend working with them. Keep on smiling!

My son Elian was very well taken care of by Dr. Mark McDonough's practice. As the son of a dentist, I only wish I had had people like Dr. McDonough and his extremely capable staff when I was an 11-year old with crooked teeth. The diagnosis was measured and complete as my son's situation was complicated. It involved moving around some teeth, making some room for new ones to come, straightening them, etc.
They have very modern technology and their team did a terrific job explaining what the treatment would be and how much it would cost and how our (modest) insurance coverage would help. Over many years, and dozens of appointments, we hardly ever had to wait long and check-ups, follow-ups and the course of treatment was measured and well-executed. Cost was as anticipated and. The results were outstanding. My son, who spends a lot of time in front of audiences and crowds, has terrific teeth and Dr. Mark McDonough's care was/is the reason why!

Great results, great doctor and staff! All three of my children were treated here with beautiful results. One of my children had a complex case involving coordinating care with another doctor and today she has a beautiful smile. Thank you Dr. McDonough.
