See Why Our Patients are Raving

Dr. Bates put in a permanent bottom retainer 6 years ago and it’s been so helpful! Their staff is friendly and efficient. Would highly recommend Bates Orthodontics to anyone!

I went to Dr. Bates for numerous things, crooked teeth, alignment, and TMJ issues. Dr. Bates treated my crooked teeth without necessitating a full alignment when other orthodontists wouldn’t (and it was super reasonably priced), he was flexible with my time constraints (on when I would be moving), and most importantly he changed my life with my TMJ. I have no words to describe how incredibly overwhelmed I was that Dr. Bates helped stop the constant pain I had in my jaw and ear from the TMJ. I felt like crying tears of joy because it was absolutely affecting my everyday life. Although, my TMJ isn’t completely gone, the everyday pain is no longer an issue. I cannot thank Dr. Bates and his staff enough for completely changing my life. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you’re contemplating an orthodontist, I urge you. Please look no further. Bates Orthodontics is where you need to go.

I have been to a few orthodontist about my concerns with my bite and Dr. Bates is the first to put me at ease. Dr. Bates is very thorough when explaining each step of my Invisalign treatment. The team at Bates Orthodontics is outstanding and proud to be apart of this team!! So thankful for this amazing group!

Was pleasantly surprised by the wonderful staff, who were very friendly and made me feel at ease. Also loved their treatment options and was able to find one that worked well for me.

Dr. Bates and his wonderful staff have taken great care of my family for many years… First with our daughter’s braces, then with our son’s and then with my Invisalign! We are all smiling a LOT more these days. They have managed to continually exceed expectations on all levels. Dr. Bates has a dynamic and calm demeanor, is extremely knowledgeable and keeps up with the latest trends in orthodontics. His staff is so sweet, helpful and kind and always makes you feel comfy when you are there. I highly recommend his practice to anyone looking for braces for their children or for any adult looking to improve their smile.

I had Dr. Bates apply a bonded retainer behind my lower teeth and had a wonderful experience while in the office! My dentist has commented on multiple occasions that it’s the best bonded retainer she’s ever seen!

Bates Orthodontics is hands down the best place to go for quality care, a family-friendly environment, and personable staff. Whether for yourself or your children, rest assured you’ll be in amazing hands with this staff. My teeth look amazing, I never felt uncomfortable during treatment (having someone in your mouth is a little unnerving!), and was always greeted with a smile. I love that their staff cared about me as a person that Dr. Bates and his wife make this a priority with all patients. Don’t hesitate to go see Bates for your braces.. you might even get a cool bowtie rva sticker if you do 🙂

Everyone here is so friendly and professional. Both of my kids have gotten braces with Dr. Bates and they have done an amazing job. With so many offices to choose from, they are always convenient. We especially love working with Taniqua!
