Our Values Gilbert

The Guiding Principles of Our Orthodontic Practice

Dr. Larson had a clear vision when he founded our practice, and every choice he made about how we operate was all guided by a simple but essential set of values. These are why our orthodontic practice is different from any other in all the right ways.

Absolute Integrity

At our core, we uphold the highest standards of honesty. We only recommend necessary treatments and firmly believe that fear has no place in healthcare. After all, crooked teeth are not a life-threatening issue.

Conservative Treatment Approach

We have immense faith in the body’s innate ability. Often, it knows precisely what to do. Our philosophy is not to rush into aggressive interventions. Instead, we favor treatments that are not only effective but also simple, elegant, and affordable.

Compassion

A little kindness goes a long way, and we strive to infuse it into every interaction.

Giving Back

We recognize our duty to give back and assist others with what we’ve received.

Commitment to Communication

We’ve also added straightforward text messaging and online appointment scheduling to make communication a breeze. You can even message us through the remote monitoring app.

Exemplary Standard

As a board-certified orthodontist, I treat every patient as I would my own family. I’m committed to providing care that I would deem fit for my children.

Obsession with Convenience

Traditional orthodontic practices might require visits every 4-6 weeks, but we know your time is precious. Leveraging digital orthodontics, remote monitoring, and 3D printing, we can offer fewer appointments without compromising on professional oversight.

Joyful Atmosphere

We believe in not sweating the small stuff and embracing the lighter side of life. Our goal is to make every visit an enjoyable moment in your day.

Meet Dr. Larson

Wonderful ortho! We decided to go with Dr. Larson for our son’s braces and couldn’t be happier…

I stopped in without an appointment because I was having an unexpected issue with my retainer.

Our first born is ready for braces so naturally, we made several ortho appointments in order to find a good fit.
