Though times change, the smiles of Dr. Kimberly Gronberg, DDS and Dr. Charlene Sugay, DDS of Gronberg Orthodontics stay constant. With a smile in her voice Gronberg explains, “When I was in residency, a lot of the other orthodontists that taught us [would say], ‘Oh, you're not going to want to live in the same area where you practice.’ But really, it’s just the opposite.” Going on 19 years of residing in Highland Village, Gronberg expresses her gratitude for living in the same town that she practices in, “I wouldn't trade it for anything. Especially when we've gone through tough times in life you realize how important community is to you. Life is short and what matters in the end is people.”
“We always say that what we're doing is more than just teeth. We want people to know that we're going to take care of their child or themselves as we would our own family.” Whether it's an emergency or a quick call to the office, Gronberg patients know that a team member will always respond. “That's not always the experience at every office, we all know what it feels like to call a call center somewhere,” Gronberg laughs. “Our team gets to know all the patients and families so well. I feel so lucky to have the team that we have,” Gronberg says. Many of her team members have been with the practice since its inception in 2008.
The American Association of Orthodontics recommends that patients begin to be seen at age seven, Gronberg says. “We're getting to know the patients personally at a critical time in their life and we're seeing them every month and a half!” Beginning at an early age, it is vital to screen for correct growth and development so that appliances or procedures can begin earlier. The complimentary, panoramic X-ray that Gronberg offers to its patients makes this much easier.
But Gronberg Orthodontics doesn't only work hard to stay up to date with technology, they stay connected to their community. Their Facebook status is certainly not lacking in smiles. The page showcases a constant stream of beaming patients and the Gronberg team posing for braces removal celebrations, holding treats delivered from patients or celebrating their annual summer pool party. Though the photos go back for years, Gronberg Orthodontics’ caring reputation goes back even further, making one thing for certain: smiles never go out of style.
Life is short and what matters in the end is people.
