Meet Monkey, Our Smile Starter
At Smile Brite Orthodontics, we believe a visit should feel comforting, fun, and stress-free – not just for you, but for the whole family. That’s why Monkey, Dr. K’s lovable dog who comes to work with us, is such a special part of our office culture. With his calm, friendly personality and wagging tail, Monkey helps put kids (and adults!) at ease the moment they walk through our doors. He’s greeted families during appointments, appeared in fun office posts, and become a beloved member of the Smile Brite experience. Many of our patients say he is a little furry ambassador of comfort and joy. We can’t wait for you and your family to meet Monkey on your next visit!
Community Involvement
We love our community as much as we love straight teeth.
