The goal of our orthodontic team is to provide the most beautiful, healthy smiles possible in a fun, caring, family-oriented atmosphere.

Dr. Bentele is an orthodontist with a strong general dentistry background who enjoys working cooperatively with your family dentist.  We offer Clarity SL ceramic clear brackets for nearly invisible braces.
As an orthodontist, Dr. Bentele recognizes that since orthodontic care typically takes around two years that cost can be a concern.  Considering this is an investment for a lifetime, braces can be reassuringly affordable especially when dental insurance is available.  Since dental insurance plans can be confusing we are happy to check on your benefits for you.  We understand that not everyone has dental insurance, so we have other plans to meet your orthodontic needs.  Affordable no down payment extended payment plans are available in addition to our own interest free plan.  Invisible braces are an additional moderate cost for adults or children.

As a retired Air Force officer, Dr. Bentele is proud to accept United Concordia military insurance.  Dr. Bentele is a Board Certified orthodontic specialist in Colorado Springs, committed to quality outcomes with the latest technology.  The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age 7 by an orthodontist.  Most children will not require braces at this age but limited early orthodontic care to address specific problems as the permanent teeth transition in may lessen the severity of future dental problems.  Approximately 1/3 of our patients are adults interested in the improvement in dental health, confidence and career boost that braces and a great smile can provide.  Many of our adult patients are pursuing a complete smile makeover and require orthodontics to align teeth for dental implants.  Adult patients particularly appreciate the esthetics of the clear, ceramic orthodontic braces.

We believe that successful orthodontic treatment depends on a blend of art, experience and science.  We incorporate leading edge orthodontic and digital technology while maintaining a conservative treatment philosophy.  (please see Practice Philosophy)
