- Veneers“My primary dentist recommended Dr. Carter to me because I was concerned about some shifting teeth. I didn't think I could correct the crooked teeth because I have veneers on several of my teeth. I was able to achieve a beautiful smile by using Invisalign, and it didn't hurt my veneers at all. I only wanted to do the Invisalign on my bottom teeth, but Dr. Carter convinced me otherwise. Boy, was I glad he did! Much to my surprise, not only were my teeth straightened, but some old problems I had with my jaw being out of alignment cleared up. The price was right, the staff was fabulous, and the office is filled with big windows with a view of the mountains. I will recommend Dr. Carter and staff to anyone who asks about straightening their teeth. Thank you so much!” - Karen

- OrthodonticsStephen Carter started his long road to becoming an orthodontist by working his way through Drake University in Des Moines, Iowa, where he received a Bachelor of Science in Biology in three years. Next came four years of dental school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, graduating with a Doctorate of Dental Surgery.

- Braces“Currently, both of my daughters are patients of Dr. Carter. As a busy parent, I can truly say that is the only doctor’s office I look forward to visiting. From the first day, we have been treated like family – the whole staff is so warm and caring. When the day comes that both of my girls have their braces removed and I look at those beautiful smiles, I will be so grateful to everyone, but I will feel sad, as I will be saying good-bye to an awesome group of people. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Carter and his staff. I'm sure all of his patients would agree that they always go above and beyond... Now, if I could just convince him to continue practicing until my two-year-old is done with braces, because I can't imagine anyone else taking care of Tucker's teeth! Also, I have to acknowledge that I have a 14-year-old that was terrified of the dentist, and now she has no fears since she has been going to Dr. Carter. Seeing is believing, but this man and his staff work miracles... I love these people. It is a shame that more doctors don't practice like Stephen Carter and train their staff as he has because it really does work.” - Lora
