South Lyon is a western Oakland County city with a walkable downtown, McHattie Park, and a full calendar of community events, and our Dexter office is a straightforward drive from town. Below you'll find the route, the South Lyon schools your children may attend, and what happens at a first visit.
At Dexter Orthodontics, we welcome patients from South Lyon and the surrounding area. Dr. Mary Beth Moenssen and Dr. Brandon Shoukri treat patients at our Dexter office, roughly 35 minutes from South Lyon without traffic.
Our office at 7200 Dan Hoey Road, Suite B, in Dexter is about 23 miles from downtown South Lyon, roughly a 35-minute drive without traffic. Most of the trip is on a handful of well-marked roads, so it's easy to plan around school and work.
From downtown South Lyon, follow Pontiac Trail to Warren Road, then take Whitmore Lake Road to M-14 west. Continue to I-94 west, exit at Zeeb Road, and follow Zeeb Road to Dexter-Ann Arbor Road, which leads to Dan Hoey Road. Allow a little extra time during rush hour on M-14 and I-94, and let your map app choose the quickest route on the day.
South Lyon Community Schools serves the city and covers 83 square miles across three counties, with schools for every stage. The American Association of Orthodontists points to age 7 for a first orthodontic check-up, and here is how each stage fits:
If you're not sure which school your child would attend, the district's transportation department can confirm it. Before treatment begins, we'll outline the likely visit schedule so you can plan around school and the drive.
Timing varies from child to child. Younger patients may be ready for Phase 1 Treatment, others simply need periodic check-ups, and teens and adults can choose between Braces and Invisalign with our guidance.
The City of South Lyon's events page lists Concerts in the Park and Movies in the Park at McHattie Park, Depot Day at the Historical Village, Pumpkinfest, and the Holiday Spectacular, along with the downtown farmers market. McHattie Park is also home to the Witch's Hat Depot Museum and Historic Village.
A first visit is a complimentary consultation with no strings attached. We'll examine your child's teeth and bite, tell you whether treatment makes sense, and give you a cost estimate if it does. The American Association of Orthodontists outlines what the visit covers in its first appointment guide, including the exam, the plan, and the cost conversation.
Many of our patients are scanned with 3D Scanning rather than impression trays, and Finance & Insurance is simple to review ahead of time. Ready to start? Schedule a Consultation.
