Meet Your Rapid City Orthodontist
Dr. Page Hudson grew up in Southern California. Before moving to Rapid City, Dr. Hudson, his wife, and their four children lived in Camarillo, CA. He spent many weekends on the sidelines of the soccer fields and the volleyball courts supporting his children!
He‘s always had a passion for helping others and values staying involved with his community and people around him, which led to his interest in orthodontics.
Dr. Hudson is a huge believer in continuing education and is a perpetual student, spending hundreds of hours each year learning about new procedures and incorporating them into our practice.
He‘s treated more than 3,000 patients with Invisalign which has earned him the "Diamond" status through Invisalign!
Why an Orthodontist in Rapid City?
Orthodontist vs. Dentist
An orthodontist is a dentist, but a dentist is not an Orthodontist. All orthodontists are dentists first, but though not every dentist has the qualifications to be an orthodontist. Our doctor continued his formal education for 2 or 3 additional years before receiving the necessary license and certification. As an orthodontist, he has spent years studying nothing but how and why to move teeth. This includes what to do, how to plan, and how to execute the appropriate treatment plan.
Why does it matter if you see your Rapid City Orthodontist?
Specialists receive additional training to give them the skills needed to deal with more complex orthodontic problems. Dentists receive basic orthodontic training which allows them to perform root canals, extract wisdom teeth, and treat young children who do not need to see an orthodontist yet.
Seeing a specialist like your Rapid City orthodontist may change your experience in braces by:
-
- Providing additional treatment options.
-
- Giving you more efficient treatment and visits, because it is the office's primary area of care.
-
- Knowing that you'll receive the best possible outcome on your treatment plan, especially if you have severe bite problems that need to be addressed.
-
- Personal experience treating multiple cases that share your unique concerns
-
- Being seen more quickly, as a family dentist will be focused on longer patient cases or emergencies throughout the day.
You may think it's easier to have your orthodontic work completed by your dentist. Convenience shouldn't be a concern, because you will only be stopping by your Rapid City orthodontist's offices every six to eight weeks.
And don't let price be a problem either! Rapid City Orthodontics is proud to provide affordable treatment in the Rapid City area.
