Dr. Daniel Avant

Dr. Daniel Avant has been creating beautiful smiles for more than 20 years. He earned his dental credentials from Louisiana State University School of Dentistry and received a master’s degree in orthodontics from the Indiana School of Dentistry.

Dr. Avant completed additional training in Functional Occlusion for Orthodontics at the Roth-Williams Center in Burlingame, California. He holds professional memberships in several organizations, including the Colorado Springs Dental Society, the American Dental Association, the American Association of Orthodontists and is a member of the Southern Colorado Cleft Palate Team.

Dr. Avant has completed the Roth-Williams course on Functional Occlusion, which emphasizes more than just straight teeth. The emphasis is on creating a bite where the teeth are working in harmony with the jaw joints and muscles. We focus on the details of tooth positions as well as the details of the bite relationship. We place attachments on all of the teeth (including second molars), not just the ones that you can see upon smiling. We mount the study models of each patient's teeth on an instrument called an articulator. This is a joint measurement that shows the exact bite relationship and allows for extremely accurate treatment planning.
