What makes our office unique?
Dr. Gail Lundquist-Tobias and her team are especially interested in making the patients feel right at home! In too many offices, patients experience long waits, impersonal care, and office visits where the patient often goes without seeing the doctor. Dr. Gail's office is different. Working with only four patient chairs and scheduling accordingly, Dr. Lundquist-Tobias is able to spend time with each patient at their routine appointments.
Her team has years of experience in treating patients with the highest level of care and attention. They provide a professional, but fun-loving orthodontic experience to each patient and strive to make it a positive interaction for the parents as well. As a small token of appreciation Dr. Gail gives each patient a keepsake photo album showing the "before" and "after" pictures of the patient's "Stellar Smile" following orthodontic treatment.

Besides the personal atmosphere in the office, the doctor and team pride themselves in the use of the latest state-of-the-art technology. Dr. Gail offers her patients the benefit of the new Accu-Myopulse System. The revolutionary system is simple to use by the patient and offers accelerated healing and immediate, measurable pain relief. Following an appointment, the patient is encouraged to spend a little time at the Accu-Myopulse Station to help reduce the amount of discomfort they may feel that day or the following day. Dr. Gail's patients love the Accu-Myopulse and the relief it provides!

In addition, the doctor uses a Diode Laser to perform soft-tissue procedures right in the comfort of her office. The Diode Laser is practical and painless and is used to expose impacted teeth and to enhance the patient's smile esthetically by removing excess gum tissue. The laser, which stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is FDA approved, precise, and effective.

An orthodontist is a specialist whose practice is limited to orthodontic treatment only. Orthodontists are dentists who have two or three years of full-time advanced study beyond dental school. They acquire special skills required to manage tooth movement and understand oral/facial relations and development.

Some general dentists practice orthodontics, but these dentists are not orthodontic specialists. Before investing in braces, make sure you are working with a qualified orthodontist. Dr. Lundquist-Tobias has the training, skills and techniques to provide every patient an individualized treatment plan to achieve the best orthodontic results.

Dr. Gail Lundquist-Tobias is a member of the AAO (American Association of Orthodontists). All members of the AAO are orthodontic specialists. The educational requirements of the AAO conform to the requirements established by the ADA (American Dental Association).
What Does an Orthodontist Do?

An orthodontist corrects malocclusions
(crooked teeth that don’t fit together properly) and malformations of the teeth and jaws. Orthodontists use braces and other orthodontic appliances to improve smiles and dental health, making children and adults look and feel better.

It is sometimes necessary to create a treatment plan to correct problems surgically, in conjunction with orthodontic treatment. Dr. Lundquist-Tobias works closely with oral surgeons providing the corrective jaw surgery. Dr. Gail will prepare the patient’s teeth leading up to surgery, and follow-up post-operatively to make certain the teeth align correctly as the patient completes their treatment.

Orthodontics is about more than just a pretty smile. Crooked and crowded teeth are harder to keep clean, contributing to tooth decay and gum disease. Other problems that can arise are abnormal wear of tooth surfaces, excess stress on supporting bone and gum tissues, pains in the face and jaw, and even chronic

Treatment by a specialist is often less costly than the serious problems that can develop years later if dental malocclusions are left untreated.
