Where smiles grow up!
Choosing the right orthodontist is an important decision. An in-house orthodontist like we offer helps streamline the partnership between the dentist and orthodontist, giving you more effective results and shorter appointments. No longer do you need to schedule multiple, time-consuming appointments between two doctor’s offices. Instead, we can do it all here at Southwest Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics with Adult Dentistry.

Southwest Dentistry is THE best! I’ve been going here for years starting when I was 10 years old on the orthodontic side of the building. I’m now in my mid-twenties and transitioned over to the adult dentistry side several years ago which was a super easy process! In all my years of coming here, the staff has always been friendly and professional. Would highly recommend!

Was recommended this office by a friend and if I could give 10 stars, I would! I am an adult ortho patient, went in to get an Invisalign consult and from the time they called to schedule an appointment to actually getting my aligners, everyone that I talked to and saw there was amazing. I worked with Dr. Matt Goergen and the ortho team but seeing how their entire staff handled every patient, even the stressed out kids (and parents) in the waiting room was impressive, truly. Easy, clean, gentle, friendly, location/parking are a breeze, with NO surprises, I knew the name of every person who I worked with, knew what every machine was going to do that they used, knew how long it was going to take, etc. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking!
