Cook Orthodontics

After almost paying 3 times the amount somewhere else… we decided to check out this orthodontist close to home.
Wow…what a great experience!!!
Our son needed braces, so they set us up with a consultation and they answered all our questions, concerns and put our sons fear… all to rest.
You might think that… this is going to be expensive! Seriously, it’s not as much as you might think!!!
They believe that most cases only need the use of elastics, and not extensive/​expensive head gear.
Our son is very happy with the way they handled him, the minimal time it took to apply them.
We would «definitely» recommend Cook and the staff to anyone!!! :)))))

Dr Cook is a wonderful orthodontist. The office is well run and efficient. The staff are friendly and professional. My daughter has a great smile now and is proud to show it off! Would highly recommend Dr Cook and her team.

Dr. Cook is the best! She took care of my son’s second-​phase treatment. He has an awesome smile now that he is proud of.
She also took care of my own smile. This was must second time as an adult in braces. She fixed the things that the first orthodontist had not done well. She was very descriptive in describing my midline, cross-​bites, tooth turns (although I’m sure there’s a more official name for it) and more. Dr. Cook also worked with my dentist, allowing me to get a couple crowns installed on adult teeth that were just small. The transformation on my smile was wonderful! She also offered, and I opted for the laser treatment to polish my gum line and take care of an area causing a gap in my two front teeth.
You will not find a more professional, detailed, attentive and caring orthodontist. I cannot recommend Dr. Cook more highly. When you’ve found her, you’ve got a winner!

I had pain in the back of my neck and my jaw clicked when I ate due to my severe over bite. My Dentist said Oral Surgery or Braces can fix that. Oral surgery was NOT an option. I went to get a consultation at Dr. Cook’s office and Maxine the office Manager was very pleasant and helpful with explaining the breakdown of my estimate. Dr. Cook made me feel comfortable. She works wonders! My teeth look great! I am so happy with the result so far and I have only had my braces on for 1 year. I have clear braces and love that they are not noticeable in pictures. I highly recommend persons of any age see Dr. Cook. Thank you Dr. Cook for removing my pain and giving me a great smile! :)

I have been going to Dr. Cook now for several years either for myself or for one of my children. She is such an amazing doctor. She is kind, gentle, caring and a perfectionist when it comes to your smile. Her bed side manner is second to none. She makes a time that could possibly be anxious for some easy to get through. My daughter has had a long treatment plan with braces. I couldn’t image anyone else taking care of her. I trust Dr. Cook completely and would recommend her without hesitation to any age group!

Dr. Cook and her team have created a very nurturing yet efficient environment. For months, I drove from Newport Beach all the way to Rancho Santa Margarita to get my teeth straightened out by her passing hundreds of orthodontists. Dr. Cook is a bit of a perfectionist which is exactly what you want when it comes to cosmetics of your smile. I have NEVER had to wait in this office, which is a pleasant and new experience. All the ladies there are very sweet and make you feel comfortable. I always see kids (who I would assume hate going to the dentist) feel right at home in this office. She was patient with me, answered all my questions and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Price-​wise, she is also very reasonable. I would highly recommend her and her office.

How would I describe the work and professionalism of Dr. Debra Cook? Well, amazing, brilliant, dedicated and kind are just a few words that come to mind. You see, I am not a kid anymore and my teeth were not all that bad when I started this rodeo, but being the perfectionist that I am, I wanted a few teeth turned on the top and the bottom.
My regular dentist talked me into getting Invisalign, and after having that for 2 ½ years without the same teeth not turning (they don’t work that well when the root needs turning), I went to visit an Orthodontist (one that was recommended by my dentist). Not thinking that I would have that much further to go, he talked me into metal braces. I wanted clear, because as a professional, I have to make presentations, but they convinced me that metal would go quicker. Initially things were going well, but then that Orthodontist had a different plan in mind that made me actually look worse than when I originally came into the office. I brought up my concerns to him a couple of times, but he just wasn’t listening.
I was then recommended to see Dr. Debra Cook. Before I even saw her, she spent an enormous amount of time looking at my file, my x-​rays, my impressions, talking to my new dentist and she agreed that the path forward (the one that I was currently on) was not a good one and that we needed to course correct pretty quick. Before I even had my first appointment, she called me on the telephone and talked to me in depth about what she was considering. When I finally got an appointment with her, it was clear that I needed to start all over and remove the metal braces. Dr. Cook also wondered why a professional would select metal braces, and recommended that we change it up and go with clear! The only bad news was that this meant another 6 months for me, but she took the time to listen and frankly, what was another 6 months after the disaster I’ve already been through, right? The day after my visit, I got a call from Dr. Cook at work wanting to know how I was doing and if there was anything she could do for me. I was blown away at her bedside manner and that she would take the time to call me personally and check in with me. I don’t even know if I’ve ever had another personal physician do that before! Her staff is amazing too, especially Raquel. She too is a perfectionist, no wonder I like her so much! I’m not quite out of braces yet… I probably have one more month to go, but my teeth are looking great, I’ve been treated with utmost respect, and I know that the braces won’t come off until Dr. Cook (the perfectionist that she is) says it’s time! Trust me, whether you are an adult, or whether it is a child of yours that needs braces, you won’t be disappointed! She honestly is incredible!!!
