Phelan Orthodontics

Phelan Orthodontics is a well-established orthodontic practice operating with two locations in Central Ohio, specifically in Oregon and Perrysburg. The clinic is proudly owned by Dr. Sheila Phelan, who emphasizes a commitment to supporting local businesses and fostering a community-centric approach. The practice provides a comprehensive range of orthodontic services for both children and adults, aiming to achieve healthy, functional, and aesthetically pleasing smiles. Their treatment offerings include various types of braces, such as traditional metal braces, self-ligating braces (which are designed to reduce chair time and improve hygiene by eliminating the need for elastic ties), and clear ceramic braces for a more discreet appearance. Phelan Orthodontics is also a provider of Invisalign, offering clear, removable aligners as an alternative to traditional brackets. For younger patients, they offer early (interceptive) treatment, designed to address orthodontic issues at an early stage to potentially simplify or prevent more complex treatments later on. Furthermore, the clinic provides dentofacial orthopedics, which focuses on guiding facial growth and development, particularly important during childhood. In cases requiring more significant jaw correction, they collaborate with oral surgeons for surgical orthodontics. Phelan Orthodontics prides itself on creating a positive and welcoming patient experience. They conduct thorough initial consultations, including reviewing medical and dental history, performing oral exams with X-rays, and developing personalized treatment plans. The clinic also provides detailed financial information, insurance options, and payment plans. They emphasize ongoing communication with patients and their families, ensuring that questions are answered and concerns are addressed. Patient testimonials frequently highlight the friendly and professional staff, the caring nature of Dr. Phelan and Dr. Bunkers (a former associate), and the overall positive atmosphere of the practice. The clinic's mission is to provide excellent orthodontic care while ensuring that each patient feels valued, heard, and appreciated, striving to create not just beautiful smiles but also a positive journey. They prioritize patient convenience, offering flexible scheduling and emergency care when needed, and encourage patients to maintain regular dental check-ups with their family dentist throughout orthodontic treatment.
