Orthodontist in Henrietta NY

Why Henrietta Patients Choose Rochester Family Orthodontics

From most of Henrietta, our office is a straight drive of about ten minutes north on East Henrietta Road: 255 Westfall Rd, Suite B, on Rochester's south side. Dr. Maureen Wood is a board-certified orthodontist, a part-time clinical instructor at the Eastman Institute for Oral Health, and the only doctor you'll ever see here, at your first visit and your last.

Orthodontics at this practice is not a production line. One doctor, one small team, and treatment plans written for the person actually sitting in the chair. Zoë, our financial coordinator, walks you through insurance and payment options before anything starts, and when your orthodontic work overlaps with something your Henrietta dentist is handling, Dr. Wood picks up the phone and coordinates with them directly.

Locally & Family Owned

Dr. Wood was born and raised in the greater Rochester area, trained at Eastman, and answers to no corporate owner. The practice stays deliberately small: every case is planned, started, and finished by the same person, which is not something most offices this close to Henrietta can say.

Calm, Patient Led Care

Our office is a purposefully calm environment. While we prideo ourselves on an efficient pace and on-time appointments, we do not try to speed through appointments. We listen to our patients and come up with a comprehensive plan at our free consultations. At the complementary consultation, we take photos, a quick digital scan, and an honest talk about timing, options, and cost. From parents of second graders to adults seeking treatment to improve their smile, everyone gets the same treatment: a clear recommendation and room to think it over.

Braces in Henrietta NY

Metal, clear ceramic, and gold Iconix brackets are all available, and Dr. Wood recommends whichever one actually suits the case instead of steering everyone toward the most expensive option. Digital imaging drives her planning, which trims the number of appointments a case needs. That matters when you're fitting visits between Rush-Henrietta pickups and a workday on the Jefferson Road corridor.

Aligners in Henrietta NY

Clear aligners have caught up with braces for most cases, and for certain patients, they can do a better job. Dr. Wood has worked with multiple systems: Invisalign, where she has held certification for more than a decade, and Spark, whose material stays clearer through months of daily wear. Teens wear them through school without classmates noticing. Adults who had braces in the nineties and watched their teeth drift back wear them even more.

Henrietta FAQs

How long is the drive from Henrietta?

About ten minutes, straight up East Henrietta Road.

Do Henrietta patients need a referral from their dentist?

No. You can book a consultation directly, and it's free. If treatment makes sense, we'll bring your dentist into the loop ourselves so your orthodontic and dental care stay on the same page.

What ages do you treat?

All of them. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check by age 7, and at the other end of the range this practice has patients in their seventies. Healthy teeth and gums are the requirement, not a birth year.

What happens at a first appointment?

Photos, a digital scan of your teeth, and a conversation with Dr. Wood about what she sees and what she'd do about it. You'll leave knowing the recommended treatment, roughly how long it would take, and what it would cost. The visit itself costs nothing.
