Orthodontist near west Plano.
Highway 121 runs straight from west Plano to our Colony office. For the Legacy and Shops at Legacy side of town it is a short hop north.
A short hop up 121.
Most Plano families who come to us are on the west side, where 121 is the obvious road north. Our The Colony office sits right on it. Our West Frisco office is a little further up FM 423 if that suits your day better.
Plano has plenty of orthodontists, so nobody drives north by accident. The families who do it usually came on a recommendation and stayed because they see the same two doctors each visit.
To be clear: we do not have an office in Plano. Our Colony office on 121 is the closest, and for west Plano it is often quicker than crossing town in traffic.
What usually brings Plano families north.
Three things come up repeatedly.
- Seeing an owner, not an associate. Larger practices rotate providers. Here it is one of two doctors, every appointment.
- A second opinion. A good number of first visits are people who were quoted something elsewhere and wanted another read on it. That is a perfectly reasonable use of a free consultation.
- Adults finally getting round to it. Clear aligners are usually the trigger, often years after thinking about it.

The first visit
The consultation costs nothing and includes the scan. If you are comparing us against a Plano practice, bring the other treatment plan and we will tell you honestly where we agree with it. The American Association of Orthodontists suggests a first check at about age seven.
Insurance and payment
In network with most major PPO plans. If you are weighing quotes, ask both practices for the total cost rather than the monthly figure, because those can be made to look very different.
The same two doctors, every visit.
If you are coming from a larger practice where you saw a different provider each time, this is the main thing that changes.
What families here usually ask.
Do you have an office in Plano?
No. Our closest is The Colony, on Highway 121, which is a short drive from west Plano.
Is it worth driving out of Plano?
That is your call. What we offer is a specialist practice where the owners treat you directly. The consultation is free, so it costs you a drive to find out.
Can I get a second opinion on a treatment plan?
Yes, and we are happy to give you an honest one even if it agrees with what you were already told.
Do you take my insurance?
We are in network with most major PPO plans and file the claim either way.
