Delayed orthodontia for decades, and finally, as a retiree, I decided it was time to fix the overbite and crowded lower teeth that bugged me. Hulme... was the best for me because of aligners, a realistic timeline and outcome, and expertise and advice on how to make the process fit my lifestyle. I’m so happy with my smile now. Thanks to Dr Hulme and staff for your encouragement!read more

I recently took my daughter here for a consult. I expected a typical drab outpatient clinic experience - this place was anything but! It was open,... bright, and airy, and all the staff were very pleasant and cheerful...at 7:30AM no less! Victoria was amazing, and interacted so well with my daughter during the consult. Lots of games, rewards, perks, etc for the kiddos...they know their clientele very well. I was pleasantly surprised how much they were able to accomplish in just one hour. Just an overall happy place to be, full of good vibes and a great deal of expertise.read more

The staff and Dr. Hulme went above and beyond... to make him feel comfortable in the chair and to provide him with the education to keep up his home care routine.
