Meet Dr. Tessler

Dr. Alexis Tessler specializes in creating harmony between her patients’ teeth and jaws, utilizing science and aesthetics to achieve the best possible results. A graduate of the University of Michigan (and Ann Arbor native), Dr. Tessler next earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific. Her education then took her back to Michigan to receive her Master of Science in Orthodontics. She loves helping people and is passionate about improving the health and happiness of her patients.

Dr. Tessler holds certifications from the American Board of Orthodontists, the American Association of Orthodontists, and the American Dental Association, where she is a regular speaker as well. In her spare time, Dr. Tessler enjoys traveling, exercising, volunteering, and cheering on the Dallas Cowboys—although she still roots for her hometown Michigan Wolverines, too.

Early Orthodontic Treatment

Orthodontic care for your child might seem extreme, but it can save time and money in the future. The sooner you get treatment for your child, the better. Being proactive early can correct problems while your child's teeth are still growing.

What Patients Are Saying

Warm Words

Dr. Tessler and staff are helpful, kind, and explain everything thoroughly. I still cannot believe how quick and painless the Invisalign treatment was. My teeth look great. I truly appreciate what you have done for me.

S. Lucignani

I went to several dentists to get my daughter help with getting her teeth repaired. Upon Dr. Tessler’s examination she assured me my daughter’s teeth can be repaired with braces. After braces were put on and a minor surgery [was completed] my daughter can now smile without being embarrassed. Dr. Tessler has always been very professional and caring.

Pamela

My experience with Dr. Tessler has been wonderful. She is very professional, knowledgeable, personable and kind. My daughter and I have been patients of Dr. Tessler’s for two years now and I must say that we are very pleased with the results. Dr. Tessler has gone above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that our smiles will be corrected in a timely fashion.
