She underwent extensive orthodontic treatment and multiple surgical procedures to correct her bite. From her experience, she fully empathizes with patient’s going through orthodontic treatment. Dr. Hass strives to provide personalized care to her patients by listening to their concerns and helping to relieve dental anxiety. Dr. Hass and the team at Light Dental Studios are looking forward to helping you achieve a beautiful smile!
