Community Involvement

We love supporting our community. Along with helping local schools and youth groups, our office runs a Partners in Education program. When a student brings in a card from their school and starts treatment with us, they receive $100 off—and their school gets a $100 donation. We believe a strong education and a confident, healthy smile are two of the best gifts a child can have. Dr. Johnson also gives back by providing free orthodontic care through the Smiles Change Lives program.
