Our Difference
At your next or first visit with Whitehead Orthodontics, take a look around. You’ll notice something very special. You’ll see your neighbors chatting it up over a cup of coffee, your friends enjoying a WO cone, your teammates reliving Friday night’s game, your family sharing a hug, and your community leaders discussing the next big event. There’s no secret sauce, or magic, it’s just how we live. Dr. Whitehead and our elite team of professionals love what we do. We are committed to providing the highest quality orthodontic treatment in a professional, caring, and fun environment, but also an environment where patients are the top priority, and where getting braces is often the first step in changing lives.
Over and over, our patients tell us that they feel like visiting with Whitehead Orthodontics is like coming home to their second family. We gush, because we feel it, too! We want to know our patients by name, not a number, and we celebrate with them. We want each visit to be the best part of their day, because it’s so often the best part of ours!
Orthodontics is not just about straightening teeth. We are here to give you the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve with the most advanced technology, but your WO experience will be so much more than that.
From your first phone call, until your new smile is revealed, we want you to leave us thinking, “WO! That was amazing!”
