About Dr. Tadej
Dr. Tadej had an early dream to become an orthodontist after receiving orthodontic care when he was a teenager. His orthodontist at the time was a young doctor that Dr. Tadej looked up to. Having braces and experiencing the entire treatment process sparked an intense interest for Dr. Tadej and as a result, he went on to become an orthodontist himself. Dr. Tadej attended Walla Walla College in Washington. He then attended Loma Linda University Dental School where he earned his DDS degree in 1983. He practiced dentistry for one year and then went on to earn his Master's degree in Orthodontics in 1986. Each year Dr. Tadej attends numerous study groups and courses covering orthodontics and practice management in his quest to stay ahead of the latest advances in orthodontics technology.
Our Professional Team
We take great pride in the fact that we work as team that impacts the quality of our patient's lives through excellent orthodontic care. We strive to make dreams come true by creating beautiful smiles our patients love. You'd be hard-pressed to find a staff as qualified, friendly and professional as ours as each member of our team works hard to maintain the highest standards of care.
Our environment is relaxed; fun and one that will make you feel completely at ease. Our clinical assistants are both highly trained and fully competent. Each is a Registered Dental Assistant with the state of California. We spend many hours each year in training to be sure that we are in step with the latest technological advances in the orthodontics world.
The Types of Braces We Offer
Today, there are many options when it comes to wearing braces. We offer traditional, metal braces as well as the newer clear, translucent braces, which are becoming more and more popular with removable appliances that can be used for mild cases of misaligned teeth. We also offer the In-Ovation R braces, which is an innovative new system of braces that can significantly shorten treatment time. It looks great and is smaller - to provide patients with a higher level of comfort. We also fit patients with In-Ovation C braces, which utilize a self-ligating bracket system to enhance comfort and shorten treatment time. These braces use translucent clips for a nice cosmetic appeal. We provide orthodontic care and treatment to patients of all ages and we know that each patient's needs are different.
Your First Visit
At your initial appointment, you can expect to be with us for an hour to an hour and a half. Dr. Tadej will conduct a comprehensive exam and recommend if or when orthodontic treatment will be necessary. If treatment is recommended and you agree, our Treatment Coordinator will then go over the treatment plan with you, using visual aids so that you understand the appliances that will be used. You can stay and take all of the digital x-rays and impressions to get started that very day, right in the office!
We are planning on using this blog to inform you of office news and to share interesting information regarding the world of orthodontics. We encourage you to join in on the conversations here so please don't hesitate to leave your comments or to ask any questions you may have. Your smile is your best asset and we'll do everything possible to help you enhance it! Have a nice day, and keep smiling!
