What Sets Us Apart
We know that choosing an orthodontist is a very personal decision. There are many orthodontic offices and treatment options available to you. Here are just a few details about our office that describes “What Sets Us Apart”:
- Excellence In Orthodontics. We provide our patients with the highest quality orthodontic care in a personal, professional environment. Getting to know you and meeting your individual orthodontic needs are our foremost concerns.
- We respect your privacy. We have individual treatment rooms for every visit. We will never put you in an “open bay” environment where there are several dental chairs in the same room.
- One Orthodontist – One Office Location. Dr. Judith Okun is at 14 Rye Ridge Plaza and offers “one stop shopping.” The professional building is behind the shopping center and enables parents to do their errands while their children are visiting us for their orthodontic care. Dr. Stanley Okun is at 267 North Ridge Street and provides flexible hours in a home environment. Each office has one orthodontist who will see you through your entire treatment. We do not have assistants treating our patients. You can count on the doctor’s personal attention at every appointment!
- Cutting-Edge Technology. Our office is technologically advanced in the field of orthodontics. Both offices offer digital photographs, and the Rye Ridge location also offers digital x-rays. Digital x-rays insure low radiation exposure, provide an instant image, and can be printed or e-mailed to your general dentist easily and quickly. The Rye Ridge office also does temporary mini-implants for orthodontic anchorage (to optimize tooth movement in select cases). In addition, both offices have electric stimulation for pain management to treat TMJ, facial pain, and teeth that are tender from tooth movement. This is the modality used in sport’s medicine to enable athletes to have less pain and heal quickly so that they can return to competition quickly after an injury.
- Meticulous Sterilization. Our patients can be assured that we follow all of the OSHA guidelines for sterilization techniques.
- Enhanced WEB Services. Through our WEB services, our patients have the option to receive e-mail appointment reminders, check their appointment times on-line, review their account information, and receive our newsletter. This WEB service is available 24/7, and is a convenient way for our patients to stay connected to our office from home!
- Superior Service. Orthodontic treatment is a long-term, on-going process. Knowing this, we strive to make your orthodontic treatment in our office a positive experience. Getting to know you and meeting your individual orthodontic needs are our foremost concerns.
- Individualized care. We provide comprehensive, individualized orthodontic and TMJ care to all of our patients.
- Easy access, easy parking. 14 Rye Ridge Plaza is one mile south of exit 29 from the Hutchinson River Parkway, and can also be accessed from exit 10 on the Cross Westchester Expressway Route 287. The Rye Ridge Plaza has ample parking with three parking areas surrounding the professional and commercial buildings. 267 North Ridge Street is only one block from the Hutchinson River Parkway exit 29, and has a parking area at the road. There are no time limits or meters for the parking at either office.
