Hoelscher Orthodontics

Hoelscher Orthodontics, previously known as Duehr & Hoelscher Orthodontics, is a well-established orthodontic clinic located at 805 Century Dr, Dubuque, IA. The practice has a long-standing history of serving the Dubuque and tri-state area, with Dr. John Duehr having practiced orthodontics for over 30 years before his retirement in 2017. The clinic is now primarily led by Dr. Ben Hoelscher, a Dubuque native who graduated from the University of Minnesota School of Dentistry and completed his orthodontic residency at the University of Iowa. He is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists. Hoelscher Orthodontics is dedicated to providing high-quality, comprehensive orthodontic care for patients of all ages, including children, adolescents, and adults. Their services include traditional stainless-steel (metal) braces and clear aligners, with Dr. Hoelscher being Invisalign certified. They emphasize creating both aesthetically pleasing smiles and healthy bites, aiming for non-extraction treatment options whenever possible. The clinic prides itself on a patient-centered approach, combining personal care with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. They prioritize patient comfort and utilize modern technology, such as an intraoral scanner, to create digital images of teeth and jaw structures, reducing the need for traditional impressions. Hoelscher Orthodontics also has a full-service in-office orthodontic lab, which allows for more efficient treatment protocols and prompt addressing of any issues that may arise. A significant aspect of their philosophy is the belief in Interceptive Orthodontic Intervention (early orthodontic treatment) for children around age 7, allowing for early detection and more effective, less invasive correction of developing problems. They also offer flexible financing options and emphasize transparent communication regarding treatment plans and costs. The practice aims to build trust and educate patients thoroughly about their recommended treatments, ensuring a positive patient experience from the initial consultation through to the completion of treatment.
