Patricia Simon, DDS

Lakewood Orthodontics

For Dr. Patricia Simon, orthodontics is not just about the smile. As one of the few orthodontists in the country with formal training in the treatment of skeletal discrepancies, she is trained to keep the balance of the face in mind as she develops a treatment plan.

Her practice, Lakewood Orthodontics, is adult-friendly, upscale, and amazingly fun, with office hours designed to accommodate busy people. Dr. Simon’s specialized training is in orthodontic cases that require jaw surgery, and that’s critical for many adults, who often require surgery to correct the bite.

That’s not to say that her practice is geared to adults only. “Of course, we love seeing the kids, too. That’s a given,” she say s. “But I’d rather that kids feel that they’re cool for coming to such a grownup practice, than to have the adults feel like children.”

Dr. Simon’s future was clear from the moment she got her braces at age fourteen. By the time she was in college, she was assisting in her orthodontist’s office every free day she had. After dental school and a residency, she came to Dallas for a surgical orthodontic fellowship at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Following her fellowship, Dr. Simon joined the faculty in the oral surgery department. Her patients benefit from her close ass ociations with her UT colleagues, all of whom work on the leading edge.

“I use a team approach that involves the patient, the patient’s general dentist, and any specialist involved in the patient’s care, ” says Dr. Simon.

“I love that I have the opportunity to touch someone’s life in a positive way and give them the confidence to express who they are.”
