Message from Dr. Hutta
Thank you for the opportunity to tell you about the orthodontic experience in our office. I know that when it comes to making a decision about medical or dental treatment for yourself or a loved one, you want to make certain that it is a correct fit. I do truly believe that there is a difference between orthodontic offices. When you enter one of my two facilities, whether it is in Dublin or Worthington, you will immediately begin to experience the difference. Our friendly and educated staff will take extraordinary care of you as well as your child. The equipment is state-of-the-art which includes the latest advancements in orthodontic treatment planning, keeping in mind both comfort and speed.
My clinical staff, which includes two dental hygienists who have been with me for more than 20 years, have a total of over 200 years of orthodontic experience. I also am fortunate to have a wonderful orthodontic partner, Dr. Brandon Cook. He has been with our office since 2005. All treatment plans are thoroughly discussed between Dr. Cook and myself to ensure treatment consistency.
My promise to you is to provide you and your family with exceptional care at a reasonable expense in the shortest period of time.
My practice philosophy is to treat at the appropriate time depending on the orthodontic problem. This may require a treatment plan that will be carried out in two separate phases. The first phase may begin while a child has both permanent and baby teeth to take advantage of skeletal growth and development. The second phase of treatment is then started once a full dentition is present. This concept is important because in many cases if orthodontic treatment is delayed until all permanent teeth are present, you will miss the window of opportunity to affect facial growth that might be a contributing factor to the dental malformation (problem). The only way to determine which type of orthodontic treatment is the most appropriate from your child is to schedule a complimentary exam. Hopefully this exam takes place while your child still has some baby teeth present! During this examination it will be determined and thoroughly discussed which treatment approach will be best for your child. We look forward to the opportunity to meet you and discuss your orthodontic needs. We welcome you to join our “orthodontic family.”
