CREATING SMILES in mckinney for over 18 years
Dr. Jennifer Buchanan’s state-of-the-art digital impressions allow for customized braces D r. Jennifer Buchanan began her practice in 1996 and has been creating winning smiles and supporting the McKinney community ever since. Dr. Buchanan earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Secondary Science Education at the University of Texas at Austin, then went on to attain her DDS and Master’s Degree in Orthodontics at Baylor College of Dentistry.
Winner!
BEST ORTHODONTIST
Dr. Buchanan’s office is equipped with the latest state-of-the-art technology, including the revolutionary I-CAT machine, which is an enhanced 3D imaging system which produces fully-realized 3D images in seconds. She is the first orthodontist in the DFW area to have the Lythos 3D scanner that can take a digital impression thereby eliminating the need for making impression models! With the digital impressions she is able to utilize the Damon Smile Insignia Braces System to create custom braces tailored to each individual patient, putting patient comfort and precision of treatment at a premium. Amazingly, patients are able to see their end result before starting treatment! Along with her team’s concern for every patient and their shared commitment to bringing
the latest in orthodontic technology to the practice, Dr. Buchanan’s sense of compassion reaches out beyond her office and into the community as a whole, where she is involved with local charities including Community Lifeline, Meals on Wheels, and the American Heart Association. Dr. Buchanan is the founder of Smiles Charity, which focuses on raising funds to build homes for severely wounded veterans, and since 2008 she has hosted the annual Smiles Charity Concert, a free outdoor festival that has become a McKinney institution. The 2013 Smiles Charity Concert drew 12,000 people and raised $125,000. Dr. Buchanan is a member of the McKinney Rotary Club, McKinney Ladies Association, and a former board member of the McKinney Education Foundation and McKinney Chamber of Commerce. Through both her practice and her deep involvement in civic organizations, Dr. Buchanan is proud to be a part of the thriving McKinney community and grateful for the opportunity to contribute to it. As for her profession, she says, “Being an orthodontist is rewarding in so many ways, but the best thing is creating smiles that last a lifetime!”
