For more than three decades, Dr. Robert Shapiro has helped children, teens and adults build healthier bites and smiles they feel confident sharing.
Our mission is to create beautiful smiles in a professional, efficient and enjoyable environment. We listen to our patients and let them know they are important and valued.
Dr. Shapiro earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Toronto in 1986. After practicing dentistry for 11 years, he returned to specialty training and completed his graduate degree in orthodontics at Saint Louis University in 1999.
That background gives him a broad view of each patient's dental health. He pays close attention not only to straightening teeth, but also to bite function, supporting tissues, long-term stability and how orthodontic care may fit with treatment from a patient's general or restorative dentist.
Patients can expect careful diagnosis and direct, practical explanations. Dr. Shapiro believes the best plan is one the patient understands—why treatment is recommended, what the options are and what each option asks of them.
