WHAT OUR PATIENTS SAY

    
 
 
       Amanda E 
 
 
 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing staff and customer service. Long story short, my new dentist said, "Hey, your retainer needs some fixing." My old orthodontist is no longer in business, so she suggested Central Orthodontic Center. I was welcomed right away and the orthodontist quickly assessed my situation, gave me various options, and even went out of his way to find pricing on everything. My retainer has been the bane of my existence for a very long time and he solved my problem. They did and mold and got me in the next day to pick them up to make sure they fit. I now have 2 retainers for the top (since that didn't fit) and bottom! The front desk receptionists were kind and friendly. All around AMAZING place and AMAZING staff! I would definitely recommend to anyone.
