We are committed to bringing you the very best orthodontic care and this starts with the education and experience of Dr. Gill. He received his Bachelor of Science degree with honors from Northwest Missouri State University in 1977. He then received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree with honors from the University of Missouri at Kansas City in 1982.
Immediately after dental school Dr. Gill joined the Air Force and completed a 1-year general dentistry residency at Travis Air Force Base in California. He practiced general dentistry in the air force for 5 years, before returning to orthodontic school at St. Louis University, where Dr. Gill received his Master of Science in Dentistry degree with high honors in 1989, specializing in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.
Dr. Gill has attained the status of Diplomate, American Board of Orthodontics. The only orthodontic specialty board recognized by the American Dental Association and sponsored by the American Association of Orthodontists.

All orthodontists must be licensed to practice, but at this time only 1 in 3 orthodontists have continued on to become a board certified orthodontist.
The American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) certification process signifies a unique achievement-a significant step beyond the two to three years of advanced education required for a dentist to become a specialist in orthodontics.
The process requires the orthodontist to demonstrate actual accomplishments in patient care with detailed case reports on the treatment provided for a broad range of patient problems.

About one week before your initial complimentary appointment, Donna, our Treatment Coordinator, will mail you a welcome letter.
Upon your arrival, Donna will take you on a tour of our office.
Digital panoramic and cephalometric x-rays and digital photographs of the patient's face and teeth will be taken at this time.
The panoramic x-ray allows Dr. Gill to get a complete picture of the root positions, bone structure, and teeth that are present below the gum line.
The cephalometric x-ray is a side view of the head, which will show Dr. Gill the jaw position and biting relationship.

While the cost for many medical and dental procedures has skyrocketed, orthodontics has become more affordable and may be the best bargain in the health care industry when you consider the lifetime benefits of a beautiful, healthy smile with the increased level of self-satisfaction and esteem.
Why is orthodontics affordable today for most families?
Technology has produced braces that are sophisticated and "patient friendly".
Braces now have "prescriptions" built into them, eliminating the need to bend wires for each tooth.

No, it is not.
Most of our patients are referred by their family dentist; however, many patients are concerned about their health and appearance and take the initiative to schedule themselves for an examination to have their need for orthodontic care evaluated.
An attractive smile and improved self-image is just one of the benefits of orthodontic treatment.
Without treatment, orthodontic problems can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, bone destruction, chewing and digestive difficulties, speech impairments, tooth loss and other dental injuries.
