Albert J Fontaine, DMD

Specialist in Orthodontics

“It is an honor to be chosen as an Orthodontist for this edition of Tampa Style honoring those in the dental profession.  I love the specialty of orthodontics and have tried to treat every patient with the same consideration I would give my own family.  In this changing atmosphere of corporate dentistry, we still have a true private practice with only one doctor and a dedicated friendly staff.  We have been doing orthodontic treatment in Dunedin and Spring Hill for over 25 years with over 12 thousand cases treated.  I think our success has been due to giving the best possible service we can give at a reasonable cost and at the same time keeping it fun.  Our staff has years of experience and we all truly enjoy what we do so patients always feel comfortable.  We routinely have patients say they will miss coming to see us.  

We have the feel of a family practice but our technology is indicative of today.  By using our 3D Sirona Digital X-Ray machine in conjunction with the latest iTero 5D Scanner, we can provide the highest level of orthodontics.  Our office provides all types of braces for children and adults, as well as the popular Invisalign.  The clear trays provided by Invisalign has changed the way we look at traditional braces,  It gives an esthetic alternative for almost all cases.  A quick, complimentary exam can determine if Invisalign is right for you.”

Dr Fontaine has been married to his wife Melissa since 1987.  Actually, her father was as orthodontist and set them up on a blind date.  It obviously worked and they have created an amazing family.  All three children are in the medical field and very successful.  Family is extremely important and we love being together and traveling together.  When time allows, Dr Fontaine plays golf and has fun being a chef.
