The Bates are AMAZING! I’ve known Dr. Bates and his wife, Taylor, since Sheldon was in school at VCU. They are kind, family oriented, and Sheldon is an amazing orthodontist for people of all ages. I will take my 3 kids to Sheldon for sure!

Dr. Bates and his team do a great job with orthodontics. I got Invisalign at Bates Braces which is apparently a rapidly growing procedure for adults. Not only was the Bates team quick, well coordinated, and easy to work with, Dr. Bates himself was great! He took time to explain the implications of the different steps. Because of that, I felt prepared for the journey of wearing Invisalign aligners as an adult. He was also conscientious about discussing things that, from his perspective were important, but had an optional component. Getting my input as the patient was important to Dr. Bates. Combined with his professional expertise, this made for a great experience. I’m so glad I was able to work with Bate’s Braces. Now my teeth look great!

10/10 recommend Bates Orthodontics. Their staff is so accommodating on making sure you can get your appointment at a convenient time to work with your schedule. The girls up front are always so sweet and kind, and remember you when you come in. They’re also incredibly helpful if you call and have questions. Jenny was phenomenal and wonderful to work with. She gives you all the options for payment methods and explains the process thoroughly. Dr Bates gave me an better diagnosis and different treatment options than any other practice I had checked out prior. Also, couldn’t beat the price quote. Hands down more reasonable than any other orthodontist I’d gotten a consult with.
