Wonder Less, Smile More

If you’ve noticed crooked teeth, gaps, crowding, or bite issues—or if your smile just isn’t where you want it to be—a consultation is a great first step. Dr. Nee will evaluate your smile and walk you through your options without pressure.

We recommend bringing your child around age 7 to check for early growth or bite concerns. It doesn’t always mean treatment will start—sometimes, we just monitor and guide development as they grow.

Not at all! If you’re in San Marcos or the surrounding North County area, you can call us directly to book your first visit, whether for you or your child. No referral is needed.

Your first visit includes digital photos, a 3D scan, and any necessary X-rays so we can fully assess your smile. Dr. Nee will talk through your goals and treatment options. You’ll leave with all the info—no pressure to decide right away.

Most treatments last 12 to 24 months, depending on your needs. Some cases are quicker, and we’ll always give you a personalized timeline.
