Dr. King Answers: How Do You Charge Such Low Fees While Achieving Such Exceptional Results?

Q: You’ve won awards for “Best Orthodontist” in several publications [e.g., Minnesota Monthly, Post Bulletin, Southern Minnesota Scene Magazine], due to your low fees and exceptional results. How can you accomplish both, and what other factors make you and your team a reader’s favorite?

A: Thanks for a great question! We can accomplish the “Best Fee and Exceptional Results" guarantee due to a number of factors. 

First, and foremost, I focus on efficiency. I will never recommend treatment too early, or recommend treatment that is unnecessary. In fact, I will only recommend for your child what I would recommend for my own daughter.

Secondly, I place an extreme emphasis on precision. I personally place each and every brace. Also, I personally check every single tooth on every single patient at every single adjustment appointment.

By being “hands-on,” I can, in almost all cases, control the entire process. This leads to excellent results in a reasonable time frame. Yes, there are exceptions and unexpected circumstances. But, most often, my “high-touch” approach pays off for my patients.

Last, but not least, I offer the most high-tech, yet proven, treatment options. Fully digital x-rays, Invisalign, no headgear and fewer extractions all play a role in creating excellence at the best and lowest possible fee.

Keep smiling, and see you soon.

Dr. King Answers: Can You Customize an Orthodontic Treatment Plan to Meet Our Budget?

Q: Can you customize an orthodontic treatment plan to meet our budget?

A: Great question. At King Orthodontics, we take great pride in listening to our patients' real concerns. Perhaps only one tooth is the issue, and a patient doesn't want a comprehensive treatment. We always consider all orthodontic care options, and let you know the risks and benefits of each.

I am a firm believer that our patients [and parents of patients] are the boss, and our role is to facilitate their care how they see best fit -- given their concerns and budget. Knowing all of your options is powerful indeed.

Our mission is to deliver affordability and excellence, because our patients deserve both. As noted on our website's FAQ page, we offer the best and most convenient payment plans available. Simply stop by for a free consultation to find out what your options are, and to learn more about our Best Fee Guarantee.

King Orthodontics to Relocate, Open Brand-New Rochester Office July 1

King Orthodontics is pleased to announce the relocation and opening of their new Rochester office. As of July 1, 2015, Dr. King and his staff will be serving patients at the following address: 2769 Superior Drive NW, Rochester, Minnesota 55901.

Dr. King has been serving the Rochester area for over 17 years, and this new facility will greatly expand his ability to provide patients with a great experience and outstanding smiles.

“When we notice a painting, a flower or a smile, we get a sense of what is beautiful," Dr. King commented. "At King Orthodontics, we pay special attention to the principles of aesthetics to provide our patients with a smile that wows.

“Just as two different artists could draw or paint the same object differently, two different orthodontists could straighten the same smile with different outcomes. Perhaps one smile would be considered acceptable -- but the other has that special touch, leading one to say 'Your smile is amazing.'"

At King Orthodontics, the entire staff is not only focused on excellence, but also efficiency, to provide patient families with the best fee -- guaranteed -- plus outstanding value.

How can Dr. King charge so much less? First, he never starts your child’s care too early. Treatment timing is extremely important, and he provides each patient’s care just as he would for his very own daughter. At King Orthodontics, you can be certain that you will receive honest, straightforward and easy-to-understand recommendations based on the science -- not the business -- of orthodontics.

The second reason Dr. King can provide the lowest fee, is that he is extremely precise in the placement of your child’s [or your] braces. In fact, he personally places each and every brace to maximize artistry, precision and efficiency. “It takes much more of my time," says Dr. King, "but I am happy to do it because it makes such a huge difference in the comfort of the process, and the beauty of the outcome.”

King Orthodontics may not be Rochester's biggest practice, but you will be well cared for by one doctor who gets to know you and sincerely cares about your smile. So come on over for a free consultation or second opinion. King Orthodontics offers traditional braces and is an Invisalign® Preferred Provider, giving options for everyone. Fifteen minutes may make a true and profound difference for your family :-)
