Dr. Michael Jay Fillman, DDS

Orthodontics has been an awesome and fun career for me. I get to meet great families, children, teens and adults, and then work together with them to provide simply outstanding smiles. The personal care that we share with each of you is our way of treating you as if you were our own family. We value you and the trust that you place in us.

Outside the Office
I have been married to my wonderful wife, Arlys, for over 40 years. We have two children, Jason and Laurella, and three grandchildren, Zachary, Gabriela, and Joshua. I love traveling, especially to Switzerland and New Zealand, hiking, photography, Mac computers, and eating healthfully. I am very active in my church, mostly by playing the piano and organ. My wife and I are directors of a church-based lifestyle program, CHIP, and have participated in dental mission trips, most recently to Roatan, Honduras.
