Dr. John Tibbetts is a native Western New Yorker, having grown up and was educated in area schools. Dr. Tibbetts attended Canisius High School in Buffalo, SUNY at Buffalo for his undergraduate bachelor's, graduate Dental, and postgraduate Orthodontic education.
Dr. Tibbetts has had 2 years of specialized training after his four years of dental school education. His educational background allows Dr. Tibbetts to be a member in the American Association of Orthodontists and to use the term "Specialist in Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopedics". Only the certified specialist has this intense training in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormally positioned teeth and their supporting structures. Our practice is therefore limited to orthodontics for children and adults. Dr. Tibbetts is also a Diplomate American Board of Orthodontics, demonstrating his pursuit of continued proficiency and excellence.
Dr. Tibbetts' orthodontic treatment philosophy is simple: "Treat the patient with respect, giving them the best possible care, coupled with outstanding customer service - this will produce an excellent orthodontic result which everyone can be proud of."
