Why Choose Mill Creek Orthodontics?

Home » Our Blog » Why Choose Mill Creek Orthodontics?

Why choose Mill Creek Orthodontics? Choosing the right orthodontist is an important decision. In many cases, you’ll visit an orthodontist many times over months or years. So, you want to be sure you choose wisely.

We’ll look at just a few of the reasons Mill Creek Orthodontics is the best choice in the Charlottesville area.

Lower Prices with Better Service

At Mill Creek, we believe your best smile should be within reach. We’ve seen how a perfect smile transforms lives, so we make treatments affordable. Today, we’re making treatment even more affordable with a limited offer you can see here.

Along with affordable prices, we promise to provide the most value for every minute and every dollar you spend with us. Thus, we’re always committed to offering the best service and experience. So, you’ll have something to smile about from day one.

Our dedication to service is why our patients voted us the Best Orthodontist in Charlottesville in 2018.

Faster More Comfortable Treatment

Along with affordable treatment, we also want you to get a perfect smile in less time comfortably. So, we’ll offer the best effective technologies and techniques.

For example, we use Indirect braces bonding, which has several advantages for patients:

  • Improved patient comfort
  • Less time in the chair for you
  • Reduced operator stress
  • More accurate positioning of braces 

Traditionally, braces are placed individually on each tooth one at a time. However, with indirect bonding, we can apply the brackets more precisely and efficiently with a custom model of your unique smile. It’s just one of the many ways we can make treatment better for you.

We Give Back To Patients and Our Charlottesville Community

Mill Creek Orthodontics loves giving back to our patients and community. As we provide exceptional care and service, we go the extra mile with extras, the icing on the cake. For example, you can expect extras like Dippin Dots after every appointment. Plus, we play custom music of each patient’s choice to help you relax.

Also, we regularly play games and hold contests with prizes to reward our patients. We recently held the “Cville’s Got Talent Show” and had a blast checking out great local talent.

Mill Creek Orthodontics regularly gives back to the community. For example, we love giving Girl Scout Cookies to our local First Responders. Also, we are a proud sponsor of the Fairview Swim Club, and were a sponsor of UVA Athletics.

Recently, we held a free virtual meditation class to help combat stress on Facebook Live. Also, we’re offering free virtual consultations so the community can stay at home while they get Dr. Niepraschk’s professional smile assessment.

These are just a few reasons we hope you’ll choose Mill Creek Orthodontics. Get the smile of your dreams from the people who care.

Kadee H.
Mill Creek ortho was a great experience for me as an adult with braces, I have brought my kids here for their treatment as well. They are always so kind, welcoming and accommodating. Their space is always clean and comfortable. My kids have enjoyed their treatment here and the ice cream is always a special treat for them as well. Quick and organized appointments and we have never had to wait long from start to finish.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! It truly means a lot to us that you’ve trusted our team with both your own orthodontic care and your children’s treatment. We’re so glad to hear that you’ve felt comfortable and well cared for throughout your experience, because that’s exactly what we strive for with every patient.

It’s especially wonderful to know your kids enjoy their visits (and the ice cream). Creating a welcoming, efficient, and positive environment for families is very important to us, so your kind words really mean a lot. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and look forward to continuing to care for your family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO team!
Zoe M.
Extremely kind and kept making sure I was okay! They were so welcoming and made me laugh so much! They helped me to be excited about having braces!
Response from the owner:Thank you, Zoe!!! It's so important to us that our patients have fun at their appointments! We appreciate your kind words. - Dr. Markus and the team
Benjamin R.
3 of our kids go to see Dr. Markus, the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is very fun. It is just a comfortable and welcoming office. The kids love the ice cream they get to choose at the end of the appointment. I would highly recommend them for braces journey.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much, Dr. Rowland! That means a lot to us coming from another professional. We love treating your family and are glad to hear they love their smiles. - Dr. Markus and the team
Rachel H.
Mill Creek is a great spot! Big fan! Getting braces as a 38yo mother of three was not on my radar at all, so let’s just say I was less than thrilled when my dentist referred me. BUT Doc and his fabulous team were rockstars from day one and made the experience as enjoyable as it could be with their kind demeanor, knowledgeable tips/advice, and delicious ice cream at every appointment! You won’t regret choosing Mill Creek.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind words! We know that starting orthodontic treatment as an adult (especially with a busy life and family) can feel unexpected, so it truly means a lot to hear that our team helped make the experience a positive one for you.

We’re so glad you felt supported every step of the way, and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments to Doc and the entire team, they’ll be thrilled! And of course, we’re happy the ice cream didn’t hurt either 😊

Thank you again for trusting us with your smile. We’re so grateful to have you as part of the Mill Creek family! - Dr. Markus and the MCO team!
