Your perfect smile starts with a perfect bite.

Dr. Rigsbee's goal is to make sure that all of your teeth work together to give you a healthy, beautiful smile. To do this, he will help you achieve healthy occlusion, also known as a "proper bite", through the use of expansion appliances, extraction alternatives or other treatment options. When you have healthy occlusion, you will be esthetically satisfied, have good bite patterns, be less likely to develop gum disease and minimize wear on your teeth. A proper bite can also help decrease potential TMJ symptoms such as jaw pain, tension-type headaches and facial pain.

Collaborating with other dental specialists.

If Dr. Rigsbee determines that you need care outside that of orthodontics, he will refer you to the appropriate specialist. Dr. Rigsbee works closely with area periodontists, prosthodontists, endodontists, general dentists and oral surgeons to provide patients with the most efficient care and best outcomes possible.
