Overlake Orthodontics
Dr. Steve Lemery and his team would like to welcome you to Overlake Orthodontics. Our practice was established more than 30 years ago by Dr. Sam Lake, and we continue to serve the greater Eastside with the skill and compassion our patients have come to expect. Our top priority is to provide you and your family with the highest quality orthodontic care in a friendly, comfortable environment.

We serve patients of all ages seeking ideal oral health and aesthetics. Our practice uses modern technology for maximum comfort and attention to detail, including Invisalign(R) clear aligners. We emphasize consistent and thorough communication with both you and your primary dentist, and other dental and medical specialists, to provide comprehensive and patient centered care.
Services
Dr. Steve Lemery attended the University of Washington for his undergraduate education and received his dental degree from the UW School of Dentistry. He went on to practice general dentistry in Bellevue, Washington for four years while serving as part-time faculty at the dental school.

Dr. Lemery developed a passion for orthodontics during this time and decided to pursue specialty training, receiving his Master of Science in Dentistry from the Saint Louis University Center for Advanced Dental Education.After his orthodontic residency, Dr. Lemery practiced orthodontics in Spokane for four years before returning to the Bellevue area and becoming part of the team at Overlake Orthodontics.
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.
The dental specialty of orthodontics is more than just braces. It also focuses on the growth and development of an individual's jaws and teeth. An orthodontist is best educated to help monitor the changes that occur in your growing child and make appropriate recommendations for treatment. The American Association of Orthodontics recommends children be seen by an orthodontist around the age of seven.
For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel. When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off!
The cost of your orthodontic treatment will vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. Our staff will discuss with you the cost of your treatment and each available payment plan option, so that you can make the best choice for you and your smile. We will work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget, and you will know what to expect before beginning treatment.

Dr Lemery was very friendly and spent time explaining every possible route we could take with my sons teeth. He made us feel comfortable and not overwhelmed. His staff was super friendly. I did not feel rushed at anytime. I have confidence Dr. Lemery will take the time to find the best plan for us.

We were referred to Overlake Orthodontics by our pediatric dentist. We were impressed by their professionalism from the first contact. My daughter was anxious before the appointment but Dr. Lemery and his team put her at easy right away.

Dr. Lemery and his friendly, helpful staff are an efficient and organized team. I’m so glad my dentist recommended this ortho, who coordinated with both my dentist and my dental surgeon to give me beautiful results so that I can grin with confidence. A special shout-out to Tammy, in particular, who went above and beyond to make sure my aligners were ready at a moment’s notice at each step of my multifaceted dental program.

My oldest is getting his braces off at his next appointment and we have had nothing but great experiences here. I recommend Overlake Orthodontics to all my friends who have kids getting to the braces age.

Overlake Orthodontics has served us extremely well for many years! We had 4 children successfully in braces at the same time and number 5 will soon get his on. We are very blessed by Dr. Lemery and all the staff.

We brought my six-year-old in for an early evaluation. She was scared and I was worried. But everyone at Overlake Orthodontics was beyond amazing. I had my four-year-old along too, and the staff treated both girls with so much kindness. I am beyond grateful for that! Dr Lemery was very clear and patient with his explanations and recommendations, so I feel like I understand both the short- and long-term treatment goals. You know it’s been a great experience when a six-year-old can’t stop talking about how she loves going to the orthodontist!

Dr. Lemery and all the staff here are exceptional. My daughter had braces put on 15 months ago and today is the glorious day of having them removed! She is so excited, and I am so pleased with the results. With every step of the way the staff at Overlake Orthodontics were fantastic. Couldn't be more satisfied and I highly recommend!

Short Version:
If you are still searching for an orthodontist, you should probably stop right here because you aren't going to find a better place. Dr. Lemery and the whole team are absolutely incredible.

Long Version:
I had long thought that I should get things straightened out with my teeth but I was never really champing at the bit to get it done. (Ok, promise, no more puns) My dentist, who is also faculty at the University of Washington, pointed out that I was getting cavities in places that otherwise wouldn't if it were just for the fact that my teeth needed alignment.

Dr. Lemery is an angel!
His entire team is just terrific. I'm in the middle of my orthodontia and they are so supportive.
Also, he was the least intrusive of any orthodontist I spoke to (others wanted to remove teeth or charge an arm and a leg ).

I had my braces done here over 10 years ago & they were great. My bottom permanent retainer just popped off this week so I went back- they still have excellent customer service & are professional & efficient. They will always be our family's go-to for orthodontics!

Very knowledgeable & experienced Doctor + friendly and skilled team = great results.
I can hardly believe that mine is the first review. I came here expecting to add more praise for the wonderful Dr. Lemery, but seems I have to be the first to start.
I came over 2.5 years ago to Dr. Lemery at Overlake Orthodontics seeking help with not so common problem, and, after going through orthodontic treatment, the actual results have exceeded my expectations. I was suffering from increasing in frequency headaches that turned into migraines, as well as frequently chipped teeth and jaw tension. Dr.
