Dr. Alex J. Johnson

Dr. Johnson has been working in the dental field for well over three decades, and he loves being able to help patients achieve healthier and straighter teeth. One of the most fulfilling parts of his work is seeing little ones grow beautiful pearly whites while learning how to love their smiles. He grew a passion for orthodontics back when he was 13 years old and wore braces. By going through the process, he learned to enjoy the art and science of dentistry, and he remains passionate about the profession to this day.

After graduating from the University of South Florida, Dr. Johnson went on to receive his dental degree from Washington University as well as completing his master’s and Orthodontic Certificate from there. He’s undergone multiple advanced courses, such as Airway Orthodontics, through organizations like the Pankey Institute, and he’s even earned his Board Certification in Dental Sleep Medicine. He’s also a proud member of several professional groups, including the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, the Florida Dental Association, and the American Association of Orthodontists.

Whenever he isn’t at the office straightening pearly whites, Dr. Johnson is likely spending time with his loving and supportive family. He and his brother even started dental school together, but he went into pediatric dentistry instead. In his spare time, Dr. Johnson enjoys tinkering with computers and learning everything he can about them.

My friend just asked who I would recommend for my braces and looked up Dr. Johnson to see if he is still practicing bc my teeth are still PERFECT. Dr. Johnson was my orthodontist 23 years ago and I have never wore my retainers. I get compliments weekly on how beautiful my teeth are. Thank you Dr!

Traditional Braces

When most people think of braces, they envision the metal wires and brackets of traditional orthodontics. Although advancements in dentistry have led to more discreet solutions, traditional braces remain as effective as ever. Believe it or not, this method is even more comfortable and discreet than before! It’s an excellent solution for patients with crooked teeth or bite alignment issues.

Invisalign

Invisalign clear aligners have become an incredibly popular orthodontic treatment option – and it’s easy to see why. Not only are the plastic trays very discreet, but they are extremely comfortable. Invisalign is a wonderful option for adults and teens who need mild to moderate teeth or bite corrections.

Pediatric Orthodontics

Once your child starts to lose their baby teeth, they need to visit an orthodontist for a checkup. In most cases, this is no later than their 7th birthday. An orthodontic appointment is necessary to ensure there are no problems with your child’s jaw or tooth development. If there are any issues, we can easily address them at this age to help you save time and money down the line.

Adult Orthodontics

Did you know that one in four orthodontic patients is an adult? Even if you didn’t wear braces as a child, it’s not too late to achieve the straight smile you’ve always wanted. Although orthodontic treatments may take longer for adults since the jaw has already finished growing, you can still expect the same excellent results.
