As a talented orthodontist near Uptown, Dr. Simon enjoys being able to combine her passion for art and science to build and restore smiles plagued by overcrowding, spacial gaps, and bite misalignment. Being able to enhance a person’s aesthetics while also improving their oral and overall health is what keeps her excited and eager to help individuals of all ages.
But before she became the face of Lakewood Orthodontics, PA, she was a young child who underwent orthodontia. The experience and care provided by her orthodontist helped to change her perception of herself and dentistry, ultimately leading her to pursue it as a career.
During college, she worked as an assistant in an orthodontist’s office. She obtained her bachelor’s degree at Saint Bonaventure University before enrolling at State University of New York at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine and earning her Doctor of Dental Surgery. From there, she completed an orthodontic residency at Boston University as well as a Fellowship in Craniofacial and Dentofacial Abnormalities at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.
For more than 25 years now, Dr. Simon has been practicing orthodontics. During the first five years of her career, she served as a faculty member at the UT Southwestern Medical Center in the Division of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Although she no longer teaches in an educational setting, she remains actively involved with many of the oral surgery residents.
While much of her time is spent transforming the smiles and health of her patients, she also pursues continuing education so that she can stay up to date on many of the latest advancements, techniques, and technologies in the field. This allows her to incorporate more innovative solutions into her practice.
She also corresponds and meets with other orthodontists and multidisciplinary dental specialists so that she can hone and expand her skills and knowledge when working alongside her patients.
When she’s not busy helping individuals embrace healthier smiles, she is actively involved with the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Board of Orthodontics, the American Dental Association, the Dallas County Dental Society, the Southwest Society of Orthodontists, and the Greater Dallas Association of Orthodontists.
She also enjoys spending much of her time with her husband, Kyle, restoring their historic home in the Peak Suburban Historic District of Dallas. You’ll often find the two of them traveling all over, trying out new and exciting things.
Dr. Simon and her staff are always friendly, professional, and constantly providing an update on where you are on your orthodontic process making you feel at ease. I love my smile after using them and highly recommend them if you want a great orthodontic experience.
