Our office strives to provide patients and their
families with premier quality dental care. Improving patients’
smiles and boosting their self-image is one of our highest concerns.
Dental attitudes are established early and generally last a
lifetime. Our goal is to provide our community with healthy, happy,
dental patients with an excitement for dental health they’ll keep
for life!
Unlike most dentists who specialize in either Pediatric Dentistry or
Orthodontics, Dr. Plunk is professionally trained in both fields.
This means his patients receive expert, professional care from a
dually qualified, Board Certified Pediatric Dentist and
Orthodontist.
From your child’s first visit, you will hear Dr. Plunk note the
occlusion (bite) and development of their teeth. At their regular
dental cleanings, he will evaluate their orthodontic condition
and/or readiness for any early preventive orthodontic treatment or
for full treatment when all the primary teeth are lost. With the
benefit of watching your child’s dental growth and development over
several years, Dr. Plunk can determine the optimal time for
Orthodontic treatment if needed, yet another benefit of his dual
training.
Most of our practice is comprised of children and teens that have
been dental patients since age three and have chosen to continue
their relationship with Dr. Plunk as their Orthodontist. However,
Dr. Plunk also treats patients who have been referred by their
family dentist only for orthodontic care. In addition, some of our
Pediatric patients seek orthodontic care outside our office while
maintaining their routine care with Dr. Plunk, usually because they
live a significant distance from our office. Whichever option you
choose, we welcome you to our practice. Please let us know how we can
best serve your family’s needs.
