We were in there Tuesday morning for my daughter’s appointment. The wait was minimal, front office staff were friendly. Crystal, who helped my daughter in the back was amazing. She explained what she was doing and why throughout the whole appointment, she was thorough and very helpful. I look forward to seeing her for our next appointment.
Raeghan J.
Everyone here is so amazing! They walk you through every step of the way! It’s low down payment low monthly cost of out of pocket! Teeth whitening kid and two retainers a year! Amazing people!
Micah B.
This is the friendliest, kindest office we’ve ever been to! Everything was top-notch from the beginning. Scheduling was hassle-free, and the staff worked around our schedules so well, which was especially helpful since we live out of town. The aligners were so easy for my 12-year-old to manage independently that I didn’t even realize she was on her last set of trays! The entire process was smooth and stress-free. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Sparkman Orthodontics.
Katie V.
Three of my kids have got their braces here. My youngest needed extensive treatment, she was missing permanent teeth etc. What a transformation, her teeth look amazing! We love the orthodontists and staff here. Highly recommend!

Dr Sparkman and his team have been so amazing during my daughter’s treatment and even after. After almost 2 years outta braces they are still helping my kid with her retainer, permanent and clear ones.
Natalie H.
I took my daughter who was already worked up about a not so good job experience elsewhere.. we walk in the have beautiful music playing, we are welcomed by some of the friendliest people! I loved that they gave us a tour and made us feel so welcomed and most importantly made my daughter feel comfortable. I definitely found the place where I am going to get braces for my daughter! The doctor was so supportive and explained everything to where we understood the entire process perfectly. Thanya was great! Definitely recommending this place to everyone I know.
