Bankhead & Firth Orthodontics

Bankhead & Firth Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic practice with a rich legacy dating back to 1973 when Dr. George Dee Bankhead began the practice. It has since grown into a multi-location clinic with four orthodontic specialists: Dr. John Firth, Dr. Kevin Kaiser, and Dr. Justin Firth (alongside Dr. Brent Bankhead and other specialists associated with the broader "Bankhead Orthodontic Specialists" network, though the specific entity in question is "Bankhead & Firth Orthodontics" which operates in certain locations). The clinic prides itself on being family-owned and family-focused, dedicated to providing personalized smile transformations for patients of all ages – children, teens, and adults. Their approach emphasizes advanced technology and cutting-edge treatments to deliver optimal results. Key services include: Invisalign: Clear aligners for discreet teeth straightening, suitable for various alignment issues. They are noted as one of the top Invisalign providers in Missouri and utilize iTero 3D scanning for precise treatment planning. LightForce Orthodontics: The first 3D-printed Braces system, custom-designed for individual teeth, aiming for more efficient treatment, fewer appointments, and improved results. These feature tooth-colored ceramic brackets for a less noticeable appearance. Traditional Metal Braces: A reliable and effective option for a wide range of orthodontic issues, with modern designs being smaller and more comfortable. They also offer "WildSmiles®" for younger patients, featuring fun, personalized bracket shapes. Two-Phase Orthodontic Treatment: A specialized process combining tooth straightening with physical and facial changes, often used for younger patients to guide jaw growth and prevent more serious issues. DentalMonitoring: A revolutionary app that allows for virtual monitoring of patient progress via smartphone, reducing the need for in-person appointments and enhancing convenience. Bankhead & Firth Orthodontics is known for its patient-centric approach. They offer free consultations with no obligation, ensuring patients can understand their treatment options and financial details upfront. The team is described as kind, helpful, professional, and compassionate, striving to create a comfortable and positive experience. They accept most major insurance plans and offer in-house financing options to make treatment affordable. With multiple convenient locations in the St. Louis metropolitan area, including Waterloo, IL (which falls under the Columbia, IL phone number), Sunset Hills, Oakville, and Eureka, MO, they aim to be easily accessible to their communities.
