Here is why you should choose Bates Family Orthodontics:
Personalized Care
Every patient presents with a unique situation and concerns. We believe that excellent and efficient treatment outcomes are the result of attention to detail, proper diagnosis and study of each patient's presentation, and clear and honest communication.
When you visit our office you will be considered part of our family and will be treated with the same level of care that we would provide our own families.
Dr. Bates and team are committed to providing you with the highest quality of care and welcome questions or comments at any time.

Professional Training
Dr. Bates has had extensive professional training. After he earned his bachelor's degree (four years), he completed dental school and obtained his doctorate degree (four years).
Dr. Bates then went on to complete further specialty training in orthodontics by attending orthodontics residency programs where he earned his master's degree and certificate in orthodontics (two years). That's a long road and a lot of degrees to ensure that you are receiving the highest level of care possible!
Dr. Bates further demonstrated his commitment to maintaining the skills, knowledge and judgment necessary to provide his patients with the highest level of patient care by completing the process of becoming a board-certified orthodontist. He is proud to be a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics, an honor that is only held by around 50% of practicing orthodontists.
Dr. Bates is highly trained in all areas of orthodontics, including braces for both children and adults, clear aligner treatment (Invisalign), jaw surgery, interdisciplinary care, and craniofacial syndromes such as cleft palate.
