Why Braces?
Straight teeth not only help improve self-esteem and confidence but also provide many oral health benefits. Teeth that are crowded or improperly spaced can increase the risk of gum disease and tooth loss. It can also be harder to maintain proper oral hygiene.
Crowded or crooked teeth can wear unevenly faster than usual, causing a significant risk to the tooth structure. Properly aligned teeth create a better bite and reduce stress and strain that can cause headaches, jaw pain, and the need for additional dental care.
Your First Visit
Your first visit will evaluate your overall dental health and a consultation with your orthodontist for braces. We use leading iTero technology to create a 3D digital scan of your mouth so you can see what your smile will look like with Invisalign or other orthodontic treatments.

My daughter and I have been patients for about 3 years and everyone there is fantastic. I'm always seen at my scheduled time and my concerns are always addressed. I had a crown recently and both the hygienist and Dr. Pitcher were great in keeping me comfortable and making sure I understood the process.
As usual, I had a great dental experience-from beginning to end. The staff are friendly and accommodating, and Dr. Pitcher is trustworthy, professional, and good as they come. I would recommend this practice to anyone on the lookout for a great dentist and piece of mind.
Took my 2.5 year old son for his first visit. I’ve been going here for 4 years. The visit was seamless because of how wonderful this practice is. Our hygienist Mary made him feel very comfortable. She was excellent. Dr. Waterman is always very professional and thorough. I couldn’t be happier with our care here!
Julie, the dental hygienist greeted me on time, took my x-rays, scaled my teeth, and provided a fluoride treatment in less than an hour. She is totally professional, but also very personable. It was a very pleasant experience, and I highly recommend Family Dental to anyone.
I have been a patient for many years with Dr Fink. He recently retired and I was a little nervous about seeing a new dentist but Dr Waterman made me feel at ease. He's extremely knowledgeable, super easy to talk to and made me feel very comfortable. The staff is wonderful as well.
Dr. Pitcher and Grace are a top notch team! They are caring, compassionate and gentle! They explained everything that was going to happen during my visit and were very concerned about my well being the entire time. I was even offered a pillow and blanket to make me more comfortable. This was my first procedure with Dr. Pitcher and I am happy to say I chose wisely :)
I chipped a tooth that is often chipped as it is really thin. Dr Pitcher did a fantastic job reshaping the tooth and making look like it never happened. Also kudos to the staff who were able to get me in the same day I called. Great job by them.
Always a great experience since moving to the area two years ago and being referred to Dr. Pitcher. Love my dental hygienist Lynn who is knowledgeable, gentle, kind and wonderful. Looking forward to many more years as a member of this family. Thank you.
I had my first visit here 2 days ago and it was great! They made me an appointment for the next day, got me in so fast and the staff are phenomenal. I got the pleasure of being taken care of by Grace and Dr. Pitcher. They explained everything very thoroughly and made me so comfortable.
Grace was wonderful at keeping me calm at my 1st visit. She is a wonderful person. Dr Pitcher was also very calming and took time to explain what may need to be done to clear up some problems. She even scheduled a follow-up in a couple days to further explain next steps. I have never been a great dental patient but I have to say I felt comfortable and trusting of the information they gave me.
