“As soon as I stepped into Dr. Willes’s office, I knew I had found the right place and was in good hands. The staff is so knowledgeable but also so fun. After a few short months, I already can see the change in my smile and can’t wait to see the magic he and his staff created when it’s done! Thank you.”

“My three children began seeing Dr. Willes when my oldest was in first grade. After 11 years, it was my turn for a tune-up of my own, long-ago orthodontia — and of course I chose to see Dr. Willes. Dr. Willes and his staff are always cheerful, helpful, and responsive. Dr. Willes takes the time to explain procedures, answer questions, and listen to concerns. I really appreciate that he offers several treatment options — and doesn’t always recommend the most expensive! Even when our family finishes orthodontic treatment, we will continue to recommend Dr. Willes.”

“Dr. Willes is extremely thorough, focused on perfect results, and at the same time very friendly. He was always willing to take time to explain each step of the treatment and why it was necessary and what I could do to shorten the treatment time and get the best results. My teeth came out perfect — just as he predicted at my initial appointment. They look and feel great. And the office environment and staff are very friendly and fun.”

“All three of our teenagers got traditional braces from Dr. Willes. We lived in San Diego when we first started to see Dr. Willes and drove all the way to Carlsbad because he’s worth the drive. All three of our kids have beautiful smiles. I opted for Invisalign® and am really happy with the results. I was very picky about how I wanted my teeth to look, and Dr. Willes took all the time necessary to understand what my concerns were and address them. He explains what is and isn’t possible. One of my friends got Invisalign from a regular dentist, and the results were not so good. You only have one set of teeth. Seek out the best. Dr. Willes and his staff are super friendly and professional.”
— Sue

“Dr. Willes has treated four of our children. They have needed everything from a Herbst appliance to making space and bringing an uncooperative tooth down and into its proper place. Every one of our children has had a great experience working with Dr. Willes and his staff. After treatment they feel more confident in their smile, which is a great boost in how they feel about themselves. I also love Carrie’s personal reminder phone calls. They have helped us not miss our appointments on more than one occasion.”

“Dr. Willes has always taken time to check in with patient/parent at every visit and answer any questions.
