Your Thousand Oaks Orthodontist

Our office is located at 2801 Townsgate Road, Suite 209 in Westlake Village, right off the 101 freeway. Most Thousand Oaks families reach us in just a few minutes, and many combine appointments with errands around Westlake Village or The Oaks area.

Yes! Dr. Walker has extensive experience treating patients of all ages with Invisalign, and she even wrote her Master's Thesis on the use of Invisalign in young children. At your complimentary consultation, she'll let you know whether aligners or braces are the better fit for your child.

It's never too late. A large share of orthodontic patients today are adults, and there are discreet options that fit a working professional's life: Invisalign and Spark clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, and clear ceramic braces blend in far more than traditional metal. At your free consultation at our Westlake Village office, just minutes from Thousand Oaks, Dr. Walker will show you which option best fits your goals, timeline, and budget. Straightening your teeth as an adult isn't only cosmetic — it can also make them easier to clean and protect your long-term dental health.

Every smile is different, which is why we build a fully customized treatment plan and review the investment with you before anything begins. Your consultation is complimentary, and we'll walk through payment options and insurance together so there are no surprises.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic evaluation by age 7. Early visits let Dr. Walker monitor jaw growth, airway development, and emerging teeth, and most kids simply begin an observation schedule until the timing is right for treatment.

Yes. Unlike larger offices with rotating doctors, Dr. Walker is personally involved in every visit from your first consultation to the day your retainers are delivered. It's the heart of our boutique approach.

An orthodontist is a dental specialist who completed 2–3 additional years of full-time training after dental school specifically in moving teeth and correcting bites, and board certification means Dr. Walker voluntarily met a further rigorous standard of expertise that fewer than a third of orthodontists achieve. Mail-order and DIY aligner services skip the in-person exam, X-rays, and ongoing supervision, which is how bite problems and even permanent damage get missed. When you're treated at our Thousand Oaks–area practice, a specialist plans your care, monitors your progress in person, and adjusts course if your teeth aren't tracking as expected — protecting both your results and your investment.

A CBCT scan is a three-dimensional image that allows Dr. Walker to evaluate the tooth, roots, surrounding bone, and nearby structures with exceptional detail. This technology greatly improves diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
