HUNTINGTON BEACH & FOUNTAIN VALLEY LOVE OUR DOCTORS

Dr. Chuck Carlson is an amazing orthodontist. Professional, Honest, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and experienced. I 100% trust his recommendations for my 2 children and myself throughout the stages of braces. I value his opinion and his friendship. I would highly recommend his work. Thank you again Dr. Carlson for all your hard work.

Dr. Carlson & his staff are very compassionate & professional. My daughter’s braces are complicated because she has a fake front tooth, from a skateboard accident. Her case is sensitive & again, complicated. Dr. Carlson exerts a lot of effort to coordinate treatments for an implant & matching fake tooth along with her braces. Her results & outcomes are outstanding. Dr. Carlson has the talent, creativity, and passion to treat his patients to have a great smile. We will never forget the great deed that you’ve done for my daughter, Alyson. We wish you, your family, & business much peace, good health, & success in this new year. Thank you so much, Dr. Carlson.

Dr. Carlson and the team at Surf City Smiles are truly amazing. First off, the office design is perfect. It’s got such a cool, modern and beachy vibe…doesn’t feel anything like an orthodontic or dental office, which is great. More importantly, Dr. Carlson is such an amazing orthodontist. Not only is he cool and fun to meet with, but the results they get are top-notch. Just look at the patients he’s finished treatment on to see for yourself…he’s a great orthodontist!

I’m so impressed with how my teeth seem to be straightening right before my eyes! Dr. Carlson and his staff are so genuinely kind and super-efficient. My Invisalign is easy to put in and nearly painless! I am so excited about my progress. I really love going for my appointment- this place is gorgeous. Thanks, Dr. Carlson for taking such good care of me.

We’ve got exciting news for friends, patients, and colleagues of Nisco Orthodontics and Surf City Smiles! Dr. Matt Nisco and Dr. Chuck Carlson will be merging their two orthodontic offices to create one larger practice. Both doctors will continue to run their respective locations as they have in the past.

Over the next six months, we’ll begin to merge our practice management softwares, so our patients can be seen at either location for emergencies or routine visits. With two locations, we can serve our communities better than ever before.

Fountain Valley Living and Huntington Beach Living magazines were kind enough to run an article on our merger entitled “This Will Make You Smile.” Please take a look at the link below.

Thank you again for your continued support. Our practices have always grown via patient and local dental referrals, for which we are deeply appreciative.
