Available
Every time you come to our office, you will see Dr. Norris. Although our professionally trained staff is always on hand to assist, you can rest assured that Dr. Norris is the one who will design your treatment plan and execute that custom treatment plan when he sees you every six weeks. He encourages you to contact him personally if you have any concerns, and he is willing to meet you after hours to make you or your child comfortable.
Experienced
Although all orthodontists are dentists, not all dentists are orthodontists. In fact, only 6 of 100 dental school graduates go on to become orthodontists. Dr. Norris attended four years of college, four years of dental school, and then a rigorous 32-month orthodontic residency program. Altogether, Dr. Norris went through nearly 11 years of formal education in order to be uniquely qualified in the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of orthodontic problems. He has dedicated his professional life to creating healthy, beautiful smiles in children, teens and adults.
Our assistants are certified orthodontic assistants, which means that they not only studied dental assisting but that they also have gone to a specialty program to learn specifically about orthodontic issues.
Dr. Norris and his entire team regularly attend continuing education courses in order to stay up-to-date on the latest orthodontic technology. These courses include annual association meetings, study clubs, OSHA courses, and local continuing education opportunities.
Team Players
Dr. Norris takes a multidisciplinary approach to orthodontics, so he meets regularly with your general dentist to ensure the best possible outcome. He also works closely with dental specialists such as oral surgeons, periodontists and endodontists, and he has been extensively trained in treating surgical cases.
Cutting-Edge
Orthodontic technology is constantly evolving, and Dr. Norris and his staff members use the most advanced products available when creating a customized treatment plan for you, including light nickel titanium wires, ceramic braces, Invisalign, dental lasers, and temporary anchorage devices (TADs).
