Why Choose Us For Your Orthodontic Needs
An Orthodontist With Expert Training
Dr. Morgenstern is a specialist in orthodontics. This means she has undergone 11 years of higher education (4 years of college, 4 years of dental school, and 3 years of orthodontic residency) and has extensive experience treating patients with all types of dental conditions. Only a few dentists go on to become orthodontists. Dr. Morgenstern is highly skilled, she graduated #1 in her dental school class, and completed her orthodontics training at one of the top programs in the country, right down the road at UNC Chapel Hill. She prides herself in using her keen eye for detail to provide patients with excellent results.
Besides Dr. Morgenstern, we continually invest in training for our team. Our team has extensive knowledge in clinical procedures, insurance, the orthodontic process, and customer service. We love to educate our patients too! You will feel confident that you and your family are in good hands.
Personalized Care
At our office you’ll be treated like family. From the first time you walk through the door to the last retainer check, we will always treat you with kindness, compassion, and with your best interests in mind. We value the meaningful relationships we’re able to make with our patients and families. We enjoy meeting kids at 7-8 years old and watching them grow until they’re ready for treatment or treating a parent and then having the opportunity to also treat their kids. We want your experience at our office to be positive and leave you smiling.
Besides a positive, patient-centered atmosphere, Dr. Morgenstern will personalize your orthodontic treatment to meet your individual dental needs, your goals, and provide you with the best esthetic and functional outcome.
Specializing in Invisalign
Clear aligners are now available from a variety of places, including the internet. When choosing a provider to care for your teeth and smile, you want someone who has undergone rigorous training in Invisalign, has the experience of treating many patients with the Invisalign system, and has a keen eye for perfection. Through her formal training in orthodontics, continuing education, and real world experience, Dr. Morgenstern is the authority you want behind the design of your new smile.
Modern Treatments and State of the Art Technology
We use the latest technology and scientific advances to provide you with better, faster treatment results. We use an iTero 3D scanner to take digital impressions of your teeth, take low-dose digital x-rays, use modern appliances and Invisalign, and even use NiTi wires which are made of the same material that NASA uses! We offer clear braces and Invisalign for esthetic treatment options.
Convenient Location
Our office is conveniently located and easily accessible on 15/501 between Chapel Hill and Pittsboro. This means your orthodontic care is only minutes away from your home, school, and work. Ample parking is always available.
Making Orthodontics Affordable For Chapel Hill Families With Flexible Payment Options
Your consultation appointment is always free so you can get more information about orthodontic treatment and have your questions answered. We never want dental problems to cause financial problems and will work with you to come up with a financial plan that works for you and your family. We offer 0% interest payment plans, file your insurance and help you utilize your maximum insurance benefit, accept health savings and flex spending accounts (HSA and FSA), and offer a variety of discounts. Discounts include paid-in-full bookkeeping courtesy, family discounts, and discounts on the second phase of treatment for those patients who need early phase I treatment.
We Value Your Time
We understand you’re busy and pride ourselves on running on time for appointments so you’ll have minimal wait time. There is no pressure to start treatment the same day but we build in enough time to start treatment the same day if you’re ready. This gives people the option to combine two appointments into one. We also make the most of every appointment so your care will be efficient and allow you to complete treatment as quickly as possible.
