I recently had the pleasure of beginning my Invisalign treatment at Smile Crew Orthodontics, and the experience has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I walked in, Taylor,... the treatment coordinator, made the entire process seamless. She thoroughly explained each step, helped set up my treatment plan, and ensured I felt confident about my decision. Her professionalism and genuine care were evident from the start.Throughout the treatment, I was also assisted by Ellie, Tanya, and Sarah, who are absolute pros. Their friendly and attentive nature made every visit comfortable. They took the time to answer all of my questions and ensured everything was going smoothly with my aligners. It’s clear that the team at Smile Crew Orthodontics is dedicated to providing top-notch care, and I couldn’t be happier with my choice to go with Invisalign here. Highly recommended!read more

I’m on year 3 of a 4 year journey and Dr. Despot has been patient, thoughtful, and cared for my case each step of the way.I originally choose SmileCrew because I support local and live by the “I live here and I give here” mantra but this crew has exceeded my expectations and more.read more
