kind and caring and invested

I’m adding another review because Dr. S has saved my life. He’s so kind and caring and invested in patients care. He knows how to run a business and he always checks on me every appointment his knowledge is amazing. His prices are more than reasonable and he has kept my progression plan going every time and tells me what I’m suppose to be doing and I just love it…

Meet Dr. William Schlicher

William Schlicher, DMD, MS

“I love making people smile! It is so cool to see the joy and self-confidence when a patient sees their new smile at the end of their treatment. It’s the best part of my day.”

- Dr. Will

Orthodontics

Dr. William Schlicher didn’t dream of orthodontics since he was a young boy, but once he discovered that was his passion, he was all in. The real reason behind his love for his career, are the people he gets to serve. It’s all about the people. He loves building relationships with people in his community and getting to be a small part of their highs and lows in life.

Philosophy

Delivering honest care is his top priority. Unlike many orthodontists, he won’t recommend treatment unless you need it. He’s told many patients they don’t need orthodontic solutions. When orthodontics is the right path for a patient, he listens closely to their goals and gives them every option to achieve it. He empowers them through education to make the best decision for their smile. Patients trust him with their care, and he doesn’t take that for granted.

Education

He attended the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and earned his degree in physiology and minor in English. Continuing his education in Boston, he graduated cum laude with his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the prestigious Harvard University School of Dental Medicine. He completed his three-year specialty orthodontic training at the University of California San Francisco where he served as chief resident earning his Master of Science degree in Developmental Biology and his orthodontic certification.
