The Garlock Difference
Dr. David Garlock took over Minick Orthodontics in Aurora in December 2012, renamed it Garlock Orthodontics in May 2013 and moved into our current office at 6240 S. Main St., Suite 220 in August 2017. Since then, our team has treated about 10,000 patients, and Dr. Garlock has been named a 5280 Magazine Top Dentist in orthodontics every year from 2017 to 2026.
Open Communication
Whether it’s about your treatment plan, what we did that day, where we’re headed, or your finances, we always strive to keep you informed. Dr. Garlock prides himself on always being available. So, if you ever have a question, never hesitate to call, text, or approach him in the office.
Personalized Treatment Plans
When Dr. Garlock took over the practice in 2012, he vowed to always care for the individual. We are not a corporate factory cranking out a one-size-fits-all smile. Dr. Garlock understands that every facial structure, smile, and perception of beauty is different. He will talk at length with you about what both you and he feel is the most beautiful smile for you.
Unparalleled Collaboration With Other Dental Professionals
Dr. Garlock is on the advisory board and the only orthodontist for the SE Denver chapter of the nationally renowned Seattle Study Club. Most dentists in the area are members of the club along with most of the other dental specialists in the area. Every month, they meet to learn, grow and discuss cases and how to best treat them. It’s amazing the level of care these patients receive because of the collaboration that takes place in the club.
Specialized Training In Invisalign
With advances in technology, trained people can now effectively treat almost every patient with clear aligners. Dr. Garlock has committed countless hours to taking CE courses, listening to webinars, and reading case studies to be able to deliver the highest quality of care to his patients using clear aligners. He completed the Aligner Intensive Fellowship in 2017 and has lectured on Invisalign to other orthodontists. Our practice is an Invisalign Diamond Provider and has treated about 2,000 Invisalign patients since 2012.
We Love People And Love Making Them Happy
