Services
Dr. Carter practiced general dentistry for five years before specializing in orthodontics, giving him a very unique perspective that allows him to analyze not only your smile but also your entire mouth. An orthodontist can do more than simply give you a great smile; they can affect the shape of the lower face.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
We are committed to providing the highest quality clinical care and personalized service in a warm and compassionate atmosphere. Our doctor and staff enjoy getting to know each patient and their families, and love creating relationships that last multiple generations. We believe in providing optimal treatment results, but recognize that the experience of orthodontic treatment is crucial, too.
We are always excited about meeting new patients during their first visit to our office. Your initial appointment will consist of a thorough examination, records and a discussion of potential treatment options. This important 40-minute visit will give us insight into your orthodontic needs. The records include X-rays, photos and impressions for study models and are necessary for developing the appropriate treatment plan.
To help your children have the best experience possible, we have tailored the design of our offices especially for kids. We're pleased to have created a safe and welcoming environment where our patients tell us they feel at home. Please feel free to schedule an appointment, or stop by for a complete tour of our practice.

I brought my 13-month-old for his first dental check-up at this recommended place. Upon entering, we received a warm welcome, and there was a sign specifically for my son. The large aquarium provided a delightful distraction, especially for my son who enjoyed watching the fish. During our intake, the dental assistant was helpful and efficient. Dr. John did an excellent job demonstrating how to clean my son's teeth. He took pictures of the teeth and explained their condition and care thoroughly. The entire office staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, it's a great office with an exceptional staff!

My son, who is now 20 years old, has been a patient of Dr. Wu since elementary school. Recently, I suggested he switch to an "adult" dentist, but he adamantly refused, saying, "No way!" It reminds me of that episode of Friends where Ross sticks with his pediatrician because he's a good "diagnostician." I have a feeling we'll stick with Dr. Wu for a long time; he's incredibly funny and kind! He always manages to keep us laughing, even when reminding us to floss better. We absolutely love this practice!

My daughter had a fantastic experience here, especially since she's been very anxious at other dentist offices. The staff and doctors were all amazing. Thanks to Christina Perucci for recommending this practice. Now, I'll be bringing my younger daughter here too. Special thanks to Melissa for making the financial and insurance process so much easier and clearer for us.
