Meet Dr. Evans

Lawrence B. Evans, DDS, MS

“My own orthodontic treatment was a life changing experience. I had a significant malocclusion and now I have a smile that I am proud of. I love to help others improve this important part of their health and make them feel more confident and attractive. I can't think of any career where I would have the same opportunity to make people so happy!”
