October marks the celebration of Orthodontic Health Month, and Babylon Dental Care is thrilled to present an irresistible opportunity! Throughout this month, children aged seven and older can benefit from a complimentary consultation and comprehensive work-up with our esteemed in-house orthodontist, Dr. John Baker. This incredible offer, valued at 0, includes panoramic X-rays to assess developing teeth, advanced mouth scanning to create a precise computer mold of dental features, and the use of cutting-edge modeling software to forecast growth over time. This thorough evaluation enables Dr. Baker and his skilled team to devise a personalized treatment plan tailored specifically to each child’s dental needs.
“According to the American Association of Orthodontics, it is recommended that children receive their first orthodontic screening by the time they reach seven and a half years of age,” explains Dr. Baker, who has dedicated 24 years of his professional life to serving families at Babylon Dental Care. “Although this may seem early, initiating treatment during this critical period offers numerous long-term advantages. Most importantly, it allows us to make substantial adjustments to a child’s teeth, jaw, and facial structure without resorting to surgery or other invasive, costly procedures. By starting early, you’re providing your child with the invaluable gift of healthier teeth for a lifetime.”
Dr. Baker’s approach to minimizing discomfort is informed by his personal journey with orthodontics during childhood. “In my younger years, I didn’t receive treatment until I turned 13, which resulted in the removal of five baby teeth and four permanent teeth. I underwent surgery to bring down my canines. My wife faced a similar fate, having to undergo surgery because her treatment commenced too late for less invasive options. That’s why we ensured our children received jaw-widening treatments at the age of seven—so they could avoid unnecessary surgery.”
Now, Dr. Baker is passionate about ensuring that every family can access the same benefits that he and his family experienced.
Supporting Dr. Baker’s efforts is the new orthodontic liaison, Marcela Bonilla, who enhances the orthodontic services provided and aids in coordinating patient care. “I take great joy in assisting patients and their families, ensuring their needs are met efficiently,” she shares. “My role involves engaging with families to discuss financial concerns, facilitating their access to necessary treatments while working within their budget.”
This commitment to teamwork and family-centric care aligns perfectly with the core philosophy of Babylon Dental Care, which is why Dr. Baker has been an integral part of the practice for nearly 25 years, serving generations of Long Island families.
“One of the aspects I cherish about orthodontics is that my patients, along with their families and friends, can visibly witness the positive transformations I help create, as the results manifest on their smiles,” Dr. Baker explains. “What I appreciate about Babylon Dental Care is the collaborative spirit among our staff. Being a multi-specialty practice allows patients to receive comprehensive dental care all under one roof.”
Are you ready to seize this limited-time opportunity and set your child on the journey toward a radiant, healthy smile? Don’t hesitate! Schedule their initial appointment with Dr. Baker, Marcela, and the dedicated orthodontic team at Babylon Dental Care today!
