Orthodontics
Lake Forest, IL – Today’s orthodontic patients lead busy lives, whether they are parents shuttling their children to school, extracurriculars and various appointments, or professionals trying to squeeze in dental and healthcare appointments around their already full agendas. It can be difficult finding time for even one extra appointment, let alone having to shuttle from office to office for the care you need.
At Deerpath Orthodontics and Family Dental, we believe there is a better way. We combine world-class orthodontic care led by Dr. Michael Stosich with comprehensive general dentistry led by Dr. Gerel Emgushova to provide our patients with streamlined dental and orthodontic experience. We don’t just save you time – we ensure you have a healthier, more beautiful smile.
Why Integrated Orthodontic and Dental Care Makes a Difference
Traditionally, dentists and orthodontists operate in separate offices. That means information that needs to be shared has to be relayed between a combination of phone calls and emails. This can lead to delays in care and moments that can get lost in translation, or transit.
We don’t have those concerns at Deerpath Orthodontics and Family Dental, however. Communication is instantaneous because we’re together in the same space. Dr. Stosich and Dr. Emgushova share the same digital records, X-rays, and treatment plans. This means increased efficiency for you.
When your general dentist and orthodontist work from the same office, your oral hygiene is monitored by two sets of eyes. Our team works together to ensure your mouth stays clean and healthy throughout your orthodontic treatment. We offer special cleanings to ensure that when your braces are removed, your teeth are as healthy as they are straight.
Most importantly, working together allows our team to take a holistic approach to your smile. Our integrated approach allows for a master treatment plan that doesn’t just take the next year of your smile into account, but rather the whole life of your smile.
