Welcome to Our Practice
About Dr. DiCiccio
Dr. DiCiccio is an active member in the following organizations:
• American Association of Orthodontists• Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists• California State Society of Orthodontists• American Dental Association• California Dental Association• Fresno-Madera Dental Society
Dr. Pat DiCiccio completed his dental education in 1985. He then returned
to Loma Linda University where he completed his orthodontic residency.
He received the Roland Walters Research Award as the top resident in his class.
Dr. DiCiccio and his wife Mischelle have four children, Veronica, Victoria,
Lucas and Alexis. As a Family they enjoy spending time together, especially
traveling. When Dr. DiCiccio is not in the office he can usually be found at one
of his children’s many activities, on the golf course, or attending almost any
local sporting event.
Right Age for Treatment
ChildrenDr. Diciccio recommends that a child receive his or
her first orthodontic examination no later than age 7.
Early diagnosis and treatment can correct small
problems before they become larger problems.
Typical signs of the need for an orthodontic exam may
include, but are not limited to, the early or late loss of
teeth, difficulty in chewing, mouth-breathing, finger
sucking, crowded teeth, jaw dysfunction, a sunken or
protruding jaw or misaligned teeth. Signs of potential
orthodontic problems may not be obvious. Our initial
exams are at no charge and are the most sensible
means of ensuring proper oral health.
AdolescentsOrthodontics is more than straightening crooked
teeth. An overbite, an underbite, a dysfunctional
smile and a sunken or protruding chin all may be
corrected with orthodontic treatment. Proper tooth
and jaw alignment are critical to achieving long-term
oral health.
We feel that treatment at this time provides us with
the greatest opportunity to achieve the best result.
Adolescent children are searching for their identity
and their way in life, so treatment at this time also
allows us to provide encouragement and guidance
as the child matures.
AdultsMany adults were unable to get orthodontic
treatment during childhood and, as a result,
have simply lived with misaligned teeth or a
dysfunctional bite most of their lives. Orthodontics
can be rewarding to our adult patients. We find
that our adult patients are very motivated.
Teeth provide the support structure for the soft
tissue of the lower face, including lips, cheeks,
and marionette lines. By repositioning the teeth
and jaw, skin can appear tighter and lips can
appear fuller. We can often achieve greater
facial aesthetics without surgery or the
extraction of teeth by creating a treatment plan
utilizing appliances that can expand the jaw
and reposition teeth and gums.
Patient Testimonials
AppointmentsOrthodontics is a process that requires multiple
appointments over the course of treatment.
Most people seeking orthodontic treatment have other
important obligations during the day, usually involved
with work or school. After your initial exam and bonding
appointments, adjustment appointments typically only
require 15 minutes of your time.
When active orthodontic treatment begins, each patient is
seen every 4 to 12 weeks, and some of these
appointments may conflict with work or school schedules.
We will make every effort to schedule your appointments
to fit into your busy schedule.
Your Initial VisitOur goal at your first visit is to discover whether
orthodontic treatment can benefit you. Digital
photographs and a panoramic film will be obtained
in order to aid in the diagnosis and planning of
your treatment needs.
After a comprehensive orthodontic examination,
Dr. DiCiccio and our treatment coordinator will talk
with you, answer all of your questions, and discuss
the details of your treatment plan. It is also at this
time that we will schedule an appointment for full
dental records.
“I love coming here because there are a lot of fun things
to do. They have contests and prizes for the patients
that have brushed their teeth really well. They even
have a movie theater or you can watch TV when you
are getting your check-up. I just love it here.”
- Lauren Del Carlo
“Not knowing what it was going to be like at such a
late age getting into braces, I was really happy with the
outcome and the way that my teeth look. I would
recommend Dr. DiCiccio to anybody.”
- Wayne Nevills
“I had the choice of having some lower teeth removed
because they were beginning to poke a hole in my
upper palate. I’m very grateful to have had the
opportunity, even at this stage in my life to have
orthodontia and finally get a great smile.”
- Lloyd Shaffer
“I’m the kind of person that does a lot of research before
I make a big decision for purchase and orthodontics is
one of those big purchases in life. I wanted to make sure
that I was satisfied with the skill, the quality, the price,
convenience and that it was also going to be an
enjoyable place to be. After looking at all of those
factors, by far Dr. DiCiccio’s office won out.
