Thomas A. Giegerich, DMD, MS

University-Trained Orthodontic Specialist for Over 20 Years

PHILOSOPHY : “I chose orthodontics because I like early intervention and creating a pleasing dentition. I love the challenge each patient brings and the pleasure from a good result. I enjoy the personal interactions and long-term friendships I build with children, parents and grandparents, and the many nice conversations we share during treatment.

“I want to make beautiful faces and smiles, not just straighten teeth. Orthodontics has the power to transform lives and personalities, enhance confidence and self-esteem, and give patients a valuable tool to be successful in their lives – A GREAT SMILE.”
