Dr. Garlock Aurora Orthodontist

Having a healthy smile is one of the most important aspects of your health. If your teeth aren't coming in straight or are growing in crooked, it could lead to serious and even painful problems later in life. Dr. David Garlock of Garlock Orthodontics in Aurora, Colorado is dedicated to ensuring that his patients receive the very best care possible. Dr. Garlock is here now to detail his background in orthodontics and to detail some of the specifics that makes his practice so unique. I'm David Garlock, I'm the owner and orthodontistof Garlock Orthodontics and I'm from Oregon. I did all of my undergrad and dental school training there and moved out to Saint Louis and did my additional training there. I dragged my high school sweetheart out there with me, and then we landed here in Colorado! We're loving being here. We've almost been here a year now, and we're very excited about the opportunity we have to be a part of the community here in South East Aurora. We live here, we've made a lot quick friends and we're just excited about being here. Here we really pride ourselves in providing not just safe but efficient and comfortable treatments. Couple that with the latest technology and that's really what we're trying to accomplish. So, we provide Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, we have clear braces, we have a self ligating bracket which is kind of on the forefront in that type of brackets, we provide options if you want an option to expedite your orthodontic treatments, especially for adults who want to get in and out as quickly as possible. There are certain things we can do to stimulate the bone and increase the rate of tooth movement. We use something called Temporary Anchorage Devices quite frequently. What that is, just to put in perspective old school is you would have to use headgear to do certain things. Now you can use these Temporary Anchorage Devices. It makes it a little more comfortable, a little less cumbersome, and you don't have to hassle your kids to wear these Temporary Anchorage Devices. So, gone are the days of the gnarly headgear. When I saw the practice, and how it was made up was the way they treated their patients was exactly the same way I wanted to treat my patients. When you walk into the doors here you'll notice the difference if you've been to other orthodontists. Most orthodontists have many chairs, 8 to 12 chairs and they're seeing as many patients as they can in a day. Our approach is to be more personalized, to spend a little more time with the patients, not to waste your time, but to make you feel comfortable about the treatment you're receiving. I don't see as many patients as most orthodontists and that's by design. So I can spend time not just building relationships with the kids or the adults or whoever is being treated, but build a relationship with the family and the parents. That extra time allows me to explain the treatment we're doing, why we're doing it, and where we're headed and give you an update how the patient is doing. That's what I would want if I was an orthodontic patient, or more importantly if I was bringing my child to an orthodontist. That's kind of our overriding philosophy that I preach to our staff and they're full bought into is, we want to treat each family, each patient, as if they were our own child or our own mother or father. Having that perspective really helps give us what I feel is outstanding care to our patients. We offer free initial exams as a service to people who want to come in and if they already know they need braces, we'll let them know how we'll go about treating their problems and educating them about their problems. And if your child is young, and you're not sure, come in for a free exam and if anything you'll have peace of mind that they're doing okay. With the premier care from Garlock Orthodontics, you'll be able to proudly show off your picture perfect smile.
