Mission

Values
Inspired by nature's secret of golden proportions, the Violet flower embraces a passion to restore harmony or beauty of form to an individual's teeth. The flower is delicately placed on the enamel of a tooth. Enamel is the hardest tissue in the human body and it symbolizes the values of our practice.

"My goal is to help individuals improve their dental health, self-esteem

Specialist in braces for
children, teenagers & adults
“My teeth were crooked and I knew that I needed an orthodontist. I had braces and managed to avoid a very painful surgery. I am so excited I got my braces off before high school.”
- Austin Asa
“I was too young to realize the value of my teeth. I had no feelings about my teeth. When the dentist told me that braces were needed, my mother immediately scheduled an appointment with Dr. Violet. After my braces were taken off, I realized that my struggle was definitely worth it. My teeth look so much better and I truly have a prettier smile.”
- Marissa Jordan
“After treatment, I was left with a confident and beautiful smile, a work of art that will light up any place I go to. I would recommend Dr. Violet to anyone looking for a stress-free, happy experience while achieving a beautiful smile.”
