Orthodontist serving Wilkesboro, NC

You certainly have options closer to home, and we respect that. What our Wilkesboro-area families tell us is that the drive is worth it for the atmosphere they find when they arrive.

Dr. Hass and our team take the time to know each patient personally. We explain what we are doing and why, we answer questions without rushing, and we treat parents as partners in the process rather than as spectators in the waiting room.

Practically speaking, our efficient scheduling and advanced technology often mean fewer total appointments, which matters a great deal when you are traveling in. Many families find that a handful of well-run visits beats a longer string of quick, impersonal ones.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic evaluation by age 7. That often surprises parents, since most children still have baby teeth at that age — but that is precisely the point.

An early visit allows Dr. Hass to spot developing issues with jaw growth, crowding, and erupting permanent teeth while those patterns are still easy to influence. This is what we call Phase I or early treatment.

Intervening at the right moment can guide the jaw to accommodate permanent teeth properly, which sometimes shortens later treatment or prevents more complex problems altogether. And if nothing needs attention yet, we will simply tell you that and check back in.

Yes, and it is one of our most requested treatments. We are proud providers of both Invisalign and Invisalign Teen.

Clear aligners appeal to adults who do not want brackets showing in work meetings and to teenagers who would rather not navigate high school in metal. The aligners are comfortable, removable for meals and brushing, and virtually invisible in daily life.

Invisalign Teen adds features built specifically for younger patients, including indicators that help us confirm aligners are being worn as prescribed and adjustments that account for teeth still coming in. It is a strong fit for busy students and working adults alike.

Our office is located at 404 1st St. E. in Conover, an easy drive south from Wilkes County. We sit next to Concordia Christian Day School and Church, directly across from Conover Family Medical Practice.

Appointment frequency varies by treatment type, but most patients in active treatment are seen periodically for adjustments rather than weekly. At your consultation we will give you an estimated timeline for future visits so you can plan around school, work, and travel from the start.

We will also do our best to group appointments for siblings and schedule around your commute whenever possible. Just tell us what works — we would rather build the plan around your life than hand you one that does not fit.

We believe cost should never be the reason a child or an adult goes without care. We accept most insurance plans and will work with you to maximize your available benefits.

During your initial consultation, we will lay out the full cost of treatment and review the payment options we offer, so there are no surprises later. You will know what you are looking at before you decide anything.

Our goal is straightforward: give you exceptional value, work within your budget, and let you focus on the excitement of a new smile instead of the stress of paying for it.
