Share your experience at Bishop Orthodontics with the world!

For over 30 years, Bishop Orthodontics has been creating beautiful smiles for adults, teens, and children. We take pride in the way we treat our patients! Dr. Alton Bishop and our dedicated staff genuinely enjoy working with patients, getting to know them on a more personal level, and building relationships with patients that last beyond their orthodontic treatment.

Whether you've visited our office for a week, months or even years, we'd love to hear your feedback about how our practice is faring! There are lots of ways you can share your thoughts about our practice with the rest of the world, but we encourage you to head to our Google Local page and write a review there. Or, you may review us on Yelp if you'd like. After all, reviews help Dr. Bishop and team create beautiful smiles in Frisco, Edwards and surrounding communities in Eagle County!

You may write a review here. Thanks in advance and enjoy the rest of your Memorial Day weekend! We look forward to reading your reviews and hearing about your stories from this weekend!

Bishop Orthodontics present: Your friend, fluoride


Dr. Bishop and our team at Bishop Orthodontics will tell you there are many, many ways you protect your teeth throughout your orthodontic treatment at our office. You brush your teeth twice a day, floss regularly and protect your mouth and appliances from being damaged. But did you know there is another, often forgotten about, way to keep your teeth clean and healthy during your treatment?

Fluoride – a mineral that helps prevent cavities and tooth decay – can help keep your teeth strong! Fluoride comes in two varieties, topical and systemic. Topical fluoride is applied directly to the tooth. Topical fluoride includes toothpastes and mouth rinses. Systemic fluorides are swallowed in the form of a dietary supplement. Dentists and orthodontists use in-office fluoride treatments to help protect the oral health of adults and children undergoing dental/orthodontic procedures.

Fluoride used in our office is often times a stronger concentration than in toothpaste or mouthwash, but is available at some drug stores or a pharmacy in Edwards or Frisco. A fluoride treatment typically takes just a few minutes. After the treatment patients may be asked not to rinse, eat or drink for at least 30 minutes in order to allow the teeth to absorb the fluoride.

When choosing your own fluoride product, however, be sure to check for the American Dental Association’s (ADA) seal of acceptance. Products marked with the ADA seal of approval have been carefully examined and have met the criteria of the ADA for safety and effectiveness.

Have a great weekend everyone!
