Just finished our second child’s braces and I’ll actually miss this place. They are such pros and all so friendly. It’s a pleasure to witness such a well run local business. Thanks team!
Response from the owner:Dave, thank you for trusting us with your kiddos! We will miss you guys too. Enjoy their beautiful smiles!
Valerie G.
TL;DR: 100/10, Highly recommend! I want to preface this by saying that I used to work in orthodontics, so when looking for an orthodontist, I was looking for more than just a treatment plan. I'm looking for the right vibe, culture, and overall experience. I had been quoted elsewhere, but it just didn't feel like the right fit. From the moment I walked into this office, I knew it was different. The front office staff greeted me with huge smiles and made me feel genuinely welcome. Scarlett, the treatment coordinator, is such a beautiful soul. She was outgoing, relatable, and took the time to really get to know me and understand what I was looking for. I never felt rushed or pressured, and I definitely felt heard throughout the consultation. I also have two French Bulldogs at home, so seeing the doctor's dog in the office instantly made me feel right at home. It's those little things that tell you a lot about a practice. Overall, you can tell that the doctor and staff truly care about their patients, their culture, and the work they do. Everyone seems happy to be there, and that positive energy is felt the second you walk through the door. If you're looking for an orthodontic office that feels warm, welcoming, and genuinely caring, I highly recommend checking them out.
Response from the owner:Valerie, thank you for taking the time to leave such a raving detailed review. Your words mean so much to us, especially with you coming from the world of ortho. Treatment plan, right vibe, culture & all the things you mentioned are all the things we strive to excel at to give each of our patients an exceptional experience...and who doesn't love a cute Frenchie? Thank you again for the kind words & choosing us!

Response from the owner:We are so happy your 11 year old felt comfortable! Thank you for the 5 stars!
Natalie L.
They were all very friendly and informative. At no point did I feel rushed when asking questions.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words Natalie! We loved seeing you yesterday!
Allison
Wow! I am really impressed. This orthodontist seems to be everything my regular orthodontist is not. Everyone I encountered here has been terrific. Their customer service is top notch. Another thing I love is that their office is geared towards families not just kids. I felt respected here. As an adult, it didn't seem weird to be in the dental chair I had a large wire coming off a permanent retainer. My regular orthodontist's earliest appointment was about a month out. Senestraro has four locations was happy to help and ensured that I was seen quickly. Over the last six months this wire has come loose several times. Each visit costing at least $250. Today Senestraro encouraged me to take it off for good. They explained everything really well. Then they spent about 15 min removing the glue from my teeth. They also were able to provide referrals for speech therapy in the area. They helped me today at no cost. I am both shocked and grateful. If I could go back and start my tooth straightening journey again I would strongly consider Senestraro.
Response from the owner:We are so happy this has been your experience! We will share this with the team, they will love hearing it!
Annie L.
Very welcoming, and professional. They have been clear at communicating and setting expectations for the visit. Overall a really positive environment!!
Response from the owner:We appreciate you taking the time to share this with us, thank you!
Margo S.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience with Senestraro Orthodontics — not just once, but twice with both of our daughters! The Sherwood location could not be more convenient for our family, and every interaction has been so positive. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, caring, and always accommodating with scheduling and questions along the way. Most importantly, we are beyond happy with the results for both girls. We truly felt supported throughout the entire braces process and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an orthodontist in the area!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words and your trust in us! Congrats to your girls on their beautiful smiles!
Presley L.
Can’t recommend them enough!! Staff are awesome and super helpful, wait times are non existent, and scheduling is convenient.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your 5 star review Presley! We love to hear this!

Orthodontic Emergencies

Orthodontic emergencies can happen unexpectedly and it's essential to know how to handle them. Common orthodontic emergencies include broken brackets or wires, loose bands, or discomfort from your braces. If you experience any of these issues, it's important to contact your orthodontist as soon as possible to address the problem and prevent further complications.

In the meantime, you can alleviate discomfort by using orthodontic wax to cover any sharp edges or wires that may be causing irritation. Avoid eating sticky or hard foods that could potentially damage your braces. Remember to follow your orthodontist's instructions for proper braces care to prevent emergencies and ensure a smooth orthodontic treatment process.
