Choosing an Orthodontist
As with any professional, finding a good orthodontist is essential to ensuring a desirable experience and result. Here are 4 important factors to consider when choosing an orthodontist:
- Training – Ensuring your orthodontist has
received the proper training and schooling is essential.
An orthodontist is a dentist who, after completing dental
school, continues with training. Both Dr. David McDonough
and Dr. Mark McDonough have completed a Bachelor’s degree,
Dental degree and Orthodontic degree. They are both board
certified by the American Board of Orthodontics. - Years of experience — Practice makes perfect. Combined, Dr. Mark and David
McDonough have over 40 years of experience and have straightened over 10,000 smiles and look forward to sharing another 40 years and 10,000 more smiles together. - Board Certification – Being Board Certified indicates that your orthodontist are proud members of the AAO, ADA, UAO, UDA, local study groups and are both diplomats of the ABO. Dr. Mark and Dr. Dave are both “Board Certified” and are proud members of the American Association of Orthodontists, Diplomate American Board of Orthodontics, and the American Dental Association.
- Enjoy Orthodontics – You will spend a lot of time with your orthodontist and team. Make sure that he/she is someone that you can communicate with and work with, and someone who will enjoy working with you. At McDonough Orthodontics we love our patients and consider it a privilege to treat each one.
