About LakeStone Orthodontics

LakeStone Orthodontics provides dental care on Abbott Road in the South Abbott area of Buffalo, New York. Traditional braces use brackets and wires to gradually move teeth into alignment, handling complex bite corrections and significant crowding more predictably than removable alternatives. Treatment commonly runs one to three years, with a retainer worn afterward to hold the result.

Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.

Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.

Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.

Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.

Does orthodontic treatment hurt?
There is usually pressure and tenderness for a few days after braces are fitted or adjusted, or when moving to a new aligner. It is not typically described as painful, and it eases as the teeth settle.
How long do braces take to straighten teeth?
Commonly somewhere between one and three years, depending on how much movement is needed. Mild crowding resolves considerably faster than a case involving significant bite correction.
Are braces or clear aligners better?
Fixed braces handle complex movements and severe cases more predictably. Aligners are removable and far less visible, but they only work while you actually wear them, so they suit people who will keep to the routine.

Hello, Today I had my braces taken off with Dr. Patel's office. Now called Lakestone Orthopedics. He has 2 or 3 other offices, but I go to the office at 1050 Abbott Rd. I'm so emotional becauae today I had my braces taken off and my temporary retainer put in today until I commence with my next step, which is my implants. I wanted to come to give an outstanding 《review》of his services and amazing staff! Meeting all my needs through this long journey to my career and with pure satisfaction. I'm in my 50th century and put off getting braces for many years due to how I would look amongst other silly things, but I'm so thankful now that I'm on my way to have good looking teeth, but most of all a nice 《smile》 I suffered many years with my Lateral teeth missing al through life! Dr. Patel thank you for getting me to this wonderful finish line! Today, is such a happy joyful Emotional day. You ROCK! If anyone is seeking these same services. I highly recommend Dr. Patel. 💖 😁 🏌🏌‍♂️I will come back to add a photo soon 😊 I'm SOooooo 《Excited》and looking 《Fabulous》

I had an appointment with Dr. Patel just for a consultation. His staff was both friendly & proficient. They explained the process, completed Xray/scans and discussed possible options. I met with Dr. Patel to discuss a treatment plan. He was extremely professional & I respected that he was both realistic & understanding of a budget. They have a no interest payment plan available. Additionally, he took time to address any questions I had & I would certainly recommend using his office for any of your orthodontic needs.
