student observation

Is a career in orthodontics your goal?

Each year we receive requests from high school and college students to observe, shadow, or complete internships or externships with our doctors and team, both to fulfill curiosity as well as school requirements. We attempt to accommodate as many requests as possible, provided that they do not interfere with our ability to provide exceptional care to our patients.

Limited opportunities for observation at our practice prioritize those in college pursuing a career in the dental field, followed by high school seniors and juniors with plans to pursue dentistry. Students are welcome to submit their requests with the understanding that our priorities fall in this order and observation slots are granted based on schedule availability and timeliness of the request.

Please submit the form below with as much detail as possible and a member of our team will follow up with you within two weeks.
