Welcome To Providence Orthodontics!

Silly Team Image

We’re so excited to welcome you to our practice. On your first visit to our office, diagnostic records are taken to determine the best course of treatment. Complete diagnostic records typically include a medical/dental history, clinical evaluation, photos of the patient’s face and teeth, and a 3D radiograph. This information is used to develop a customized treatment plan for each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care.

After Dr. Collins has evaluated your records, she and her team will discuss your treatment with you in detail, including the cost and expected treatment time for your particular case. We will also share a summary of Dr. Collins’ findings and any recommended treatment with your dentist, including copies of the photos and x-ray taken. We pride ourselves in keeping your dental office up to date throughout your orthodontic care, not only at the beginning of treatment but also along the way with shared x-rays and progress reports.

We’re so excited to see you and help you get the healthy, aligned smile you deserve. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our team! For your convenience, free patient parking is available behind our building.

Tom M.
I don't typically write many reviews, but felt compelled to write a long overdue review of Providence Orthodontics. My situation was coming from an adult perspective, as someone who never had orthodontics as a child. I had some stubborn teeth, particularly a bottom tooth. I genuinely can't state enough positive descriptions here about Dr. Collins and every member of her team. As some may be aware, orthodontics is really a long process and a "marathon" not a sprint. I think that is what they excel at is the process of it all; from consultation, adjustments, advice, listening, humor and building a trusted relationship all along the way. I started out with Invisalign and ended up finishing with braces to "get the job done." Dr. Collins really was focused on getting the best outcome for me and if that meant extra time that was okay. In a job that could easily become a "number" in, Dr. Collins makes you feel like you are the only patient she is seeing that day. My recommendation to adult patients is that part of the job of orthodontics is on "you" as the part of the process- meaning you need to follow the process and not being inpatient. I am happy I chose Providence Orthodontics and highly recommend them as a "Sure bet" to go with!
Carlo C.
Amazing staff! They are always friendly, pleasant and professional.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! Our team takes pride in providing a friendly and professional atmosphere. We're thrilled to know you've had a positive experience with us!
Amy H.
I went to Dr. Collins for invisalign, braces, and then a retainer to correct a rogue tooth. It was a great experience-Dr. Collins is a perfectionist and that's what you want with your teeth! The whole staff was friendly and accomodating. I will definitely return if I have any more teeth issues.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful review, Amy! We're thrilled to hear about your positive experience with Dr. Collins and our team. Your satisfaction is our priority, and we look forward to seeing you again!
