I completed Invisalign with Dr. Shoukri as an adult patient, and it was the best experience I could have asked for. Not only did he explain every step, his meticulous work is what made the difference. My daughter is currently in treatment with Dr. Shoukri as well, and it has been great so far. From the cheerful greetings at the front desk to the smile she comes out with after her appointment. The assistants are the power team and Dr. Shoukri makes sure each step and plan is completed to perfection. My daughter may hate her appliances but she always enjoys going to her appointments. The movement and changes she has had in just 9 months are incredible. I couldn’t recommend this office more. If you want someone who is genuine, caring, highly educated, and will not nickel and dime you for your time, then try this place out! Consultations are the best way to know!

I can't express how excited and pleased I am with my Invisalign. I have always had too many teeth and hated my smile. I decided at 65 that I was going to fix my teeth and can't say enough great things about Dexter Orthodontics.
Thanks for always making me feel special.
