Dr. Porter, you absolutely rock!!! You are by far the most technical dentist that I have ever had. You make me feel comfortable when I am there. When you say “pain free,” you mean it!
Orthodontic treatment isn’t just for teens and adults. In fact, we recommend you bring your child in to see us by age 6 or 7 so that we can evaluate them for orthodontic problems. If we see any issues that need to be addressed, Dr. Porter offers preventive orthodontics in Sturgis, SD that can help your child’s jaw and facial structure develop normally. With early treatment, we can help your child:

Your child’s facial development plays a crucial role in their overall health. Without proper bone development in their jaws and face, your child could suffer from breathing-related issues such as sleep apnea when they get older. Breastfeeding helps promote healthy bone growth, which leads to proper airway development and good facial aesthetics. However, if you didn’t breastfeed or didn’t breastfeed long enough, your child may benefit from preventive orthodontics, also known as orthotropics.
Orthotropics is an area of oral health that promotes the proper development of facial bones. Ensuring proper bone growth when they’re young helps your child’s airway develop normally so they can breathe easily. Dr. Porter is the only provider in the multistate area who offers orthotropics. We can use special appliances to facilitate proper bone growth in your child, including ALF (Advanced Lightwire Functionals) and a Crozat appliance. Along with ensuring your child has proper tongue function and breathing habits, these appliances can help with bite issues, dentofacial deformities, and teeth crowding. Dr. Porter will be happy to discuss all the available options with you and your child.
With early intervention, we can:

Dr. Porter, you absolutely rock!!! You are by far the most technical dentist that I have ever had. You make me feel comfortable when I am there. When you say “pain free,” you mean it!
Since having my treatment (for migraines), I have not had to take any medication, go to the ER, visit doctors, spend endless money on useless treatment, or miss family events or my children’s lives.
I have fibromyalgia and have suffered with headaches for years. Your staff saw that I needed help and discussed TruDenta with me. I am halfway through and the difference it has already made is life changing!
I absolutely LOVE this office! Great doctors, great staff, and great facility. I could not have asked for more. Dr. Porter introduced me to a therapy that cured my migraines! It was amazing! I have not had a headache or migraine in over 9 months. The doctors are well trained in all areas of dentistry, and they offer a variety of services that no other dentist in the area offers. I would highly recommend this office to anyone in search of quality dentistry!
My first experience was super amazing and comfortable. First biologic, natural dental health exam. Was very pleased, felt so much better after! I am definitely sticking with Dr. Porter and his team! Totally recommend Synergy Dental
Dr. Porter and his team are amazing! Skilled and compassionate. As someone with a fear of dentistry, they turned what could have been a traumatic experience into a positive and comforting experience.
As always I was given the best care, always looking out for my best interest. As well as a follow up call the next day to make sure I was doing well and satisfied with my service.
Dr. Porter and his staff are very professional & friendly. I’m always hesitant to go to the dentist office but they make the experience very comfortable and reassuring. I have not yet met any staff that doesn’t make you feel like family. They are very helpful and informative about your health and options.
I’m super impressed with the first visit and focus they put on how teeth are connected to the entire body and how it impacts us. Thorough tests that help address root issues and great, friendly service. Great experience and I’d highly recommend!
They are absolutely amazing. Everyone there is very nice and you can tell they really care about you. They make sure that your satisfied and give great advice on your dental health. I’m came in needing my teeth cleaned but they went beyond looking out for my health. I did the bacteria treatments and I came out with the best dental health I have had in years. I would highly recommend them.
We will keep a close eye on your child’s dental development during their exams. Your dentist can often determine if your child would benefit from preventive orthodontics by the age of 6 or 7. Often a simple treatment like a space maintainer is enough to ensure that teeth are able to erupt normally, without crowding or other issues that can lead to an improperly aligned bite.
The key to what preventive orthodontics does is in its name. These proactive solutions for young children aim to lessen or even eliminate the need for further orthodontic treatment when they are older, often by ensuring teeth have enough room to properly erupt. We use orthotropics to encourage the correct growth of facial bones.
As with other kinds of orthodontics, the cost depends on the issues that need to be addressed and the solutions you choose to do so. When we examine your child, we will create a recommended treatment plan. We will walk you through all aspects of the plan, including cost. We will also review your possible payment options, including third-party financing.
We can see you as soon as tomorrow!
