Scio Township is our closest neighbor, wrapping around the city of Dexter, so for many families the trip to our office takes only minutes. Because the township is split between two school districts, this page covers both, along with the route and what to expect at a first visit.
At Dexter Orthodontics, we welcome patients from Scio Township. Dr. Mary Beth Moenssen and Dr. Brandon Shoukri treat patients at our Dexter office, roughly 6 minutes from the center of the township without traffic.
Our office at 7200 Dan Hoey Road, Suite B, in Dexter is about 3 miles from the center of Scio Township, a short drive in good conditions. The township is wide, so a trip from the Zeeb Road side will differ a little from one starting near the city of Dexter.
From the center of the township, take North Zeeb Road to Dexter-Ann Arbor Road and follow it to Dan Hoey Road. Your map app can confirm the route from your own starting point.
Depending on where you live, Scio Township children attend Ann Arbor Public Schools or Dexter Community Schools, a split that shows up on the township's own school district boundary maps. The American Association of Orthodontists advises a first orthodontic check-up by age 7, and the timeline looks like this in each district:
Both districts post calendars online, so it's easy to choose appointment days around breaks and no-school days. Before treatment begins, we'll outline the likely visit schedule so you can plan around school and activities.
Each patient's plan starts with age and growth. Younger children may be candidates for Phase 1 Treatment or simply need monitoring, and older patients can compare Braces and Invisalign. At your consultation we'll explain what we recommend and why.
Scio Township keeps a long list of green spaces. Its Parks, Preserves, and Pathways page lists 11 places to explore, including Kidder-McKeachie Scio Woods Preserve, Liberty Pond Nature Area, and Marshall Park. The township also holds a Halloween Open House at the Zeeb Road Fire Station, which it calls the biggest party of the year.
A first visit is a complimentary consultation at our Dexter office, and it doesn't commit you to treatment. We'll look at your child's teeth and bite, talk through whether treatment is recommended, and share a cost estimate if it is. The American Association of Orthodontists describes the usual steps in its first appointment guide, from the exam to the treatment plan and the conversation about cost.
Where it fits, we use 3D Scanning instead of impression trays, and our team can explain Finance & Insurance before you decide anything. Ready to get started? Schedule a Consultation.
