Dear friends, family, and patients. The Allgower family needs our help! This amazing, loving family has had their world rocked the past week. One of our amazing patients, Allyson, was diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. ... We are asking all of you if can help in anyway possible whether it’s donating or sharing this post! We thank you all for your help and support! Stay safe!

Dear friends, family, & patients, We are reaching out to all today because we were recently made aware that one of our patients, Jaden, has a battle to fight...a battle that has become all too familiar to a lot of us, a battle fighting cancer. Jaden is not yet fully aware of this developing sensitive news so we ask that you please respect his privacy and not share this with your children to prevent anything upsetting from being said to or about him. ... We are asking all of you if you could please help this wonderful family. Wether you are able to donate or share this post, anything will help! Thank you all, please stay safe!

We have worked hard on new covid-19 protocols to keep our patients and our team safe. We look forward to seeing your smiling faces again!

Welcome back! We are so excited to start seeing our patients again! With opening up our office again there are a few new guidelines and protocols we have in place to keep our staff and patients safe and healthy.

Need more elastics? wax?? chewies??? We have you covered! Please come to our front window and take what you need. If you do not know your elastic size, example "Elliott" "Cathy" "Bummer"... give us a call and we can tell you.

CLOSURE UPDATE: EXTENDED THROUGH APRIL In accordance with the order to Shelter in Place, and with the guidelines set by the California Dental Association (CDA), our orthodontic office will remain temporarily closed until the end of April. As the health and safety of our patients, families, and team members are at the forefront of our thinking and actions, we are taking action to help Flatten the Curve of this pandemic. Please know this may change at any time and we will co...ntinue to monitor the federal and state government recommendations as well as the CDA. We want to continue offering the best care to our patients during this time. Please email us to set up a Virtual Exam with Dr. Katie, Dr. Tom Bales, or Dr. Ana. While we may be postponing your in-office routine care visit, know that the materials we use today for orthodontic treatment have the ability to move you toward our goals for quite some time. For patients in braces or expanders, know that we use long acting wires which continue to work for several months. For our patients in aligners, if you have been wearing them as instructed your treatment is progressing even though you are not here for an office visit If you are an Invisalign patient and have aligners to pick up, please call the office to arrange a curbside pickup where you do not have to enter the office. We understand it is disappointing for those who are ready to begin their orthodontic treatment or have finished treatment and are anxious to have their braces removed. We feel your pain! We promise to schedule your appointment once we are open and will be offering extended hours 7am-7pm and open extra days in both offices to accommodate each and every one of you. As always if you have an emergency requiring immediate assistance, call our office. Thank you for being patient with us as we all navigate this together to help slow the spread of COVID-19. See more

Dear Patients, Colleagues, Friends and Family, In order to do everything we can to protect the well-being and health of our patients, our staff, our respective families, our extended community and in accordance with the guidelines from the California Dental Association we are suspending all non-essential care for the next two weeks. If you have an appointment at our office within that time period we will be calling you as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment. Plea...se be patient with us and allow us to call you to reschedule. This will help us to manage the overall appointment schedule to best address everyone’s needs. Dr Katie Bales, Dr Tom Bales and Dr Ana Calles are reviewing each patient’s treatment status as appointments are rescheduled to minimize the impact this delay will have on your overall treatment time. Your understanding and patience with this very challenging situation is appreciated. If you have an emergency situation or urgent need, please call our office so we may determine the best course of action. We look forward to seeing you back in our office soon.
