The Center for Advanced Dental Education treats thousands of patients each year through our patient practice, Dental Specialties of 性奴调教.
Providing services for both adults and children, Dental Specialties offers advanced care at a lower cost than traditional practices. Services include orthodontics (braces), endodontics (root canals), periodontics (gum disease and implants) and pediatric dentistry (comprehensive dentistry for children under the age of 12). General dentistry services are offered only in the pediatric dentistry program.

Important: At the screening appointment, prospective patients under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian (with proof of guardianship). The prospective patient will be seen by an orthodontic faculty member or resident to determine whether orthodontics is an option, which category applies for pricing and whether the prospective patient is a candidate for the program. The visit includes a cursory examination of the teeth, jaws and mouth. Allow an hour and a half for the appointment.
If the patient is considered a candidate for the program, financial options and insurance coverage will be discussed at the screening appointment. We will only provide estimated insurance information if we receive all orthodontic insurance information on the online forms at least 24 business hours prior to the appointment. Please remember orthodontic treatment can take anywhere from one to two and a half years of active monthly treatment. Patients must be able to attend monthly daytime appointments in our office during school and work hours.

Early intervention results in less costly and less comprehensive treatment requirements. General orthodontic questions can be directed to 314-977-8600.
