In addition to our Columbia office, we are proud to offer orthodontic services in Sumter, South Carolina. This is a convenient location for our patients in the areas and those who live or work in Sumter. Our mission is to provide high-quality and personalized orthodontic treatment to patients of all ages.
Our orthodontic practice specializes in treating various orthodontic issues to improve functionality and aesthetics. We address common misaligned teeth problems such as overbites, underbites, crossbites, open bites, crooked teeth, and gap teeth. We intend to provide effective solutions that promote proper alignment and spacing for a healthy, beautiful smile.
Additionally, we adjust jaw alignment to improve overall facial symmetry. With braces, clear aligners, and other appliances our treatments improve appearance. They contribute to better oral health by simplifying cleaning and reducing the risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Our treatments are designed for children and adults, bringing lasting benefits at any stage of life.
Dental braces are the most traditional and well-known method for straightening teeth. We offer:
Two-phase orthodontic treatment is a specialized process that combines tooth straightening and physical and facial changes. Two-phase treatment aims to maximize the opportunity to accomplish the ideal healthy, functional and aesthetic result that will remain stable throughout your child's life.
Dentofacial orthopedics involves guiding facial growth and development in children, using specialized techniques to address jaw size and position discrepancies.
Craniofacial orthodontics is a highly specialized type of orthodontic treatment that focuses on correcting facial and skull deformities. This involves working closely with other medical professionals, such as plastic surgeons and neurosurgeons.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery is a field of dentistry that focuses on surgeries related to the mouth, jaw, face and skull. Our orthodontists in South Carolina have extensive knowledge and experience in this area and work closely with oral surgeons to provide comprehensive treatment.
We use the latest technology to ensure accurate and efficient patient treatment. The iTero Element Scanner allows us to create 3D digital models of your teeth, eliminating the need for messy traditional impressions.
We offer custom-made mouthguards to protect teeth during sports or other physical activities. We also provide retainers to maintain your new smile after orthodontic treatment.
A palatal expander is used to widen the upper jaw, creating more space for crowded teeth and correcting crossbites. This treatment is typically recommended for children while their jaws are still developing.
When you arrive at our Sumter office, expect to be treated like family from the moment you walk in. From our friendly staff members to our doctors, we welcome you with open arms and strive to make your experience as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We will always take the time to address your concerns, explain different treatment options, and involve you in the decision-making process. We want you to have a positive and fulfilling experience with us.
Our father-son team of Dr. Kent W. Washington and Dr. Kent T. Washington brings together years of experience, knowledge, and skill in orthodontics. They are passionate about providing excellent orthodontic care to patients and staying up-to-date with the latest advancements in orthodontics.
You may have heard about this many times, but we believe every patient is unique and deserves a customized treatment plan at Washington Orthodontics. We take the time to get to know you and your specific needs, concerns, and goals before developing an individualized treatment plan that will achieve optimal results.
We also understand that treatment may look different for children, teens, and adults, so we cater to each age group accordingly.
Our goal is to make orthodontic treatment accessible and affordable for everyone. We offer various payment options, including financing plans, to fit each patient's budget. We also accept most credit cards and insurance plans to help make treatment more affordable.
We are proud to be part of the community and believe in giving back. In fact, Dr. Kent T. is involved in several local nonprofit organizations and efforts, including Give Kids a Smile Day and Special Olympics. He was also recently elected to the South Carolina Commission for Minority Affairs.
