Cost versus Quality

We have seen many children and adults in our consultation room lately who started braces with local dental chains and have been displeased with the service in these practices, now wanting to transfer their treatment to Dr. Taylor.  

 

Often, they have invested $1000 or more at a chain practice and now have to start over to have the orthodontic treatment done properly.  These patients were attracted to the chain practices because they offered “discounted orthodontics,” but they now realize that starting over is far more costly than trusting their treatment to a Board Certified Orthodontist from the very beginning.

 

It is very important to understand that Dr. David Taylor is a Board Certified Orthodontist who owns and operates his practice. He ensures that the best in orthodontic treatment is provided to all of our patients at every visit.

 

Chain practices like Rodeo Dental, Brident, Kool Smiles and Little Heroes cannot offer the same continuance of care as generally they either do not have an orthodontist on staff or the orthodontist only spends a few days per month in each of their chain locations.

 

Most of the time, the chain practice staff orthodontist lives in another city like Austin, Houston or Dallas and only visits the RGV chain practices a few days each month.

 

Regular adjustments in chain practices are likely to be delivered by Dental Assistants supervised by a General Dentist or a Pediatric Dentist, but not by a Board Certified Orthodontist. Or, if patients are seen by the staff orthodontist, the scheduling is severely limited to the few days that the orthodontist is in that location.

 

At A Perfect Smile Orthodontics our Orthodontist Assistants are expertly trained by Dr. Taylor. He personally sees every patient at every orthodontic adjustment and ensures our patients achieve their most healthy, beautiful smiles possible.
