Services
Orthodontic Treatment
We provide comprehensive orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages, addressing misalignment and bite issues through customized plans. Our services include traditional metal braces, translucent options, and advanced Invisalign aligners. Each treatment is designed to improve dental health, enhance aesthetics, and boost self-confidence while ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the process.
Invisalign
Invisalign treatment straightens teeth using clear, removable aligners tailored to each patient's unique needs. Our certified orthodontists create precise digital treatment plans to gradually shift teeth into optimal positions. This discreet solution is ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic alternatives to traditional braces without compromising oral hygiene or daily activities.
Emergency Treatment
We offer prompt emergency orthodontic care for urgent issues like broken brackets, wire irritation, or displaced appliances. Our team provides immediate solutions to alleviate discomfort and maintain treatment progress. Patients receive clear guidance on managing emergencies between appointments to ensure uninterrupted care.
Digital Radiography
Our practice utilizes digital radiography for accurate diagnostics and treatment planning. This advanced imaging technology captures detailed views of teeth, jaws, and facial structures with minimal radiation exposure. High-resolution scans enable precise assessment of dental development, skeletal relationships, and treatment progress for superior clinical outcomes.
Pediatric Orthodontics
We specialize in early orthodontic intervention for children starting at age 7, focusing on guiding jaw growth and permanent tooth eruption. Timely treatment addresses developmental issues, reduces future complexity, and creates optimal conditions for permanent teeth. Our approach ensures comfortable, effective care tailored to children's unique needs.

My daughter has been a patient of Dr. Swatman's for years. He was always kind gentle and his staff went out of their way to make her always feel comfortable. And now that I am a patient of theirs as an adult I get to experience with my kids went through. Braces are difficult for adults but when you go to a knowledgeable caring orthodontist who truly cares and his staff that is outgoing and kind it makes a huge difference. Thanks for being a great office guys.

Dr. Swatman and his crew are absolutely amazing! Scheduling is a breeze and my appointments never took longer than maybe 30 minutes max. Something important to note is that they never made me feel like I was ugly because my teeth weren't perfect. This is huge because as an adult I was very self conscious of my smile and how I came off to people. In summary, I really enjoyed my care and will continue to see them through my retainer phase and beyond. Thank you guys for the smile you helped to shape!

This is by far the coolest office I've ever been to. Going to appointments there feels more like visiting with friends. All of the girls are so sweet and Dr. Swatman is always warm and friendly. Truly the best! I'd recommend this office to anyone interested in braces that wants to go to an office that makes you feel like your business is appreciated!
