About

Rachelle Dermody, DDS

We take great pride in treating our patients as if they were our own children. Our doctors and staff enjoy working in an atmosphere of fun and laughter, while taking serious care of your child's dental needs. We are privileged to be an extension of your family from your child's first tooth, through their teenage years. Often times, their smile is perfected with orthodontic care (braces), and we are honored to watch the transformation take place, as they step into adulthood with a beautiful, confident smile.
Primary Specialty

Dentist

Services Under Three - You Are Free
We believe every child should begin routine dental visits by age one so that any problems may be detected, treated early, or even avoided completely. To assure our little ones are started on the correct road early, we will see our patients under three for free.

Infants through Teenagers
From infancy through age eighteen, we provide all forms of general dentistry within an office designed for the comfort of children.

Special Needs
Our doctors are specially trained in techniques that ensure excellent care for our patients with significant medical, physical, or mental disabilities.

Surgical Room
Some children need more support than a gentle, caring manner to feel comfortable during dental treatment. To meet the needs of this child, our doctors may provide care at a local hospital under general anesthesia.

Emergency Care
24/7 assistance is available including holidays and weekends.

ORTHODONTICS

Free Consultations
Dr. Chris will meet with you and your child and conduct a clinical examination to determine if and when braces will be necessary. There is no charge for this consultation.

Adult Treatment
Orthodontic treatment can be successful at almost any age. In fact, about one in every five orthodontic patients today is over age 18. Adult orthodontics may positively affect career patterns, social acceptance, and self-confidence. Dr. Chris has enjoyed hearing back from his adult orthodontic patients about the positive difference their new smiles have made in their lives.

Adolescent Treatment
Dr. Chris holds two specialty certificates in dentistry. He has had formal training in pediatric dentistry, as well as orthodontics. This combination gives him a great advantage in relating to his adolescent patients. Most orthodontic treatment begins between the ages of 9 and 14, however, by age 7, most children have a mix of adult and baby teeth. Orthodontists can spot subtle problems with jaw growth and emerging teeth while some baby teeth are still present. That's important, because some orthodontic problems are easier to correct if they're found early.

My children have been seeing "Dr Rachel" for 5 or 6 years for their dental care. She was highly recommended by the adult dentist I was seeing. As they now require orthodontic work, they are also being seen by Dr. Dermody's husband, "Dr. Chris". The new office's "camping in the woods" theme is adorable and immaculate. Our appointments are TOO quick, because I wish we could hang out there for a little longer! The staff and the "Dr. Dermody's" put my children (and ME!)at such ease and make even what could be painful procedures "a piece of cake". After watching my son receive a tooth extraction, which I thought would be traumatic, I now wish I too could be treated there! They went above and beyond to make the experience pleasant. The staff is ALWAYS courteous, professional and make us feel like family. If there is ever any brief delay, they are apologetic and quick to whip out a Game Boy to distract the patients. I always say "When God created my children, He THREW their teeth at them!" We knew early on they would require extensive dental treatment. I can honestly say they NEVER show ANY apprehension about going to their dental/orthodontic appointments...it's like a trip to the park for them. What more could a parent ask for? Also, they work with your ability to pay and offer different discount programs. They even gave us a "second child" discount.
