Brent Hurst, D.D.S

Your first visit to our office will be a courtesy exam for you or your child. The Dr. Hurst will carefully examine the teeth for a wide range of possible orthodontic problems, such as crowding, cross-bite, gaps, etc. A complimentary panoramic image will be taken to aid Dr. Hurst in making his preliminary diagnosis.

I am very glad we found Dr. Hurst and his team. From the first day we walked into the office, we were welcomed with warm smiles. Dr. Hurst looks and treats each patient as an individual and we are very pleased with ALL the progress on our son's teeth. Brent Hurst is really a wonderful orthodontist.

It's more important than ever to brush and floss regularly when you have braces, so the teeth and gums are healthy during orthodontic treatment. Patients who do not keep their teeth clean may require more frequent visits to the dentist for a professional cleaning. Adults who have a history of gum disease should also see a periodontist during orthodontic treatment.

Thanks to today's advances in orthodontic technology, orthodontist Dr. Brent Hurst provides patients with more treatment options than ever before when it comes to wearing braces. While regular metal braces are still widely used, clear braces are very popular, along with removable appliances such as Invisalign.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that most children should have an orthodontic screening by age 7. This allows Dr. Hurst to determine if orthodontic treatment will be required and the best time for the patient to be treated. Many of the dentists in our community have been trained to identify orthodontic problems early, and may refer you to our office earlier than age 7.
