Dr. Chris Woolaver -Orthodontist in Ahwatukee, Phoenix

I’m Dr. Chris Woolaver, a board-certified orthodontist and Fellow of the Royal College of Dentists of Canada (FRCDC), honored to be recognized among the Top 1% of Invisalign providers worldwide. My advanced specialty certification reflects my commitment to excellence in orthodontic care and creating healthy, confident smiles for every patient.

I hold a Master’s degree, a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), and a Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry, providing a strong foundation in both science and orthodontics.

My connection to orthodontics is also deeply personal. I was born with a cleft lip and palate and began treatment at just six months old with my first surgery.

After years of orthodontic care, I completed my own treatment journey at age 29. By the age of 11, I already knew I wanted to become an orthodontist, inspired by my personal experience with braces, surgeries, and orthodontic treatment.

More About Metal Braces

Clear Braces

Clear braces use tooth-colored materials to blend more naturally with your smile. They provide the same effective treatment as metal braces while offering a more discreet appearance.

More About Clear Braces

Invisalign

Invisalign uses clear, removable aligners to gradually straighten teeth. This comfortable, nearly invisible option allows you to eat, brush, and floss with ease throughout treatment.

Airway-Aware Orthodontic Care

What our Patients say

Dr. Woolaver and his staff are AWESOME! Every visit we've had with them has been great and both kids look forward to visits. Today was my son's big day to remove braces and he was so excited. Image his surprise when they have him a cool treat (large KitKat bar) to celebrate the occasion.

Mike Silva

My daughter has to have multi step braces. She got step one braces at age 7. Dr. Woolaver and his staff are amazing. He was recommended to us by per primary dentist and we couldn’t be happier. They are kind, attentive and patient. Service is above and beyond by everyone in the office.

Toshina Hubbard

Absolutely THE BEST orthodontist. I first met Dr. Woolaver when I was in high school before he owned his practice. Totally my fault for not keeping up with my retainers as an adult, 😆 but I found and went back to Dr. Woolaver who remembered me and helped me get my bite back in check with Invisalign. He’s a fabulous doctor and his staff is equally incredible. Always leaving with a smile. 😁❤️

Katherine Giardina

I couldn’t be any happier with my experience. From the first visit to the last, the team let me know what to expect and how I can make the process go smoothly. They always worked with my schedule and their online consulting tool made it easy for treatment. Thank you Woolaver Team for giving me the best smile of my life!
