Smiles Change Lives: Discounted Braces Program For Kids

See Your Child Smile With Confidence

Smiles Change Lives (SCL) is a nonprofit that helps children whose families cannot afford the full cost of braces. Learn more and apply for braces today!

American Heart Association

Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics is a big supporter of our local chapter of the American Heart Association, of which Dr. Balhoff is a member of the Executive Leadership Team. We have two of our own team members who have or have had heart conditions. Our office attends and serves as a sponsor for the Go Red For Women Luncheon. We also plan to show our support for them by starting a team for the Heart Walk this coming year and would love for you to join us! We will continue to support this organization and fight against heart disease.

Our Lady Of The Lake Children’s Health Cleft And Craniofacial Team

This team of specialists devises a comprehensive, individualized plan of treatment for each child. These experts meet on a regular basis to organize the specific follow-up appointments each child needs. All recommendations made by the cleft and craniofacial team are discussed with the parents as well as the child’s pediatrician and other specialists involved in their care.

St. Jude Dream Day Fishin’ Galore

Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics has been an active participant in the St. Jude Dream Day Fishin’ Galore for the last several years. This annual event provides a day of fun for St. Jude patients and their families. The day is filled with several activities such as fishing, archery, skeet shooting, hayrides, crafts, a petting zoo, karaoke, and more. We have hosted the lemonade stand which has become very popular, especially after receiving the secret recipe from Dream Day Foundation veterans. We look forward to continuing to show our support for the St. Jude Dream Day Foundation for years to come.

Braveheart Christmas In July

Every year we host our annual Christmas In July fundraiser benefitting Brave Heart, Children In Need Inc. This non-profit organization works year-round to provide a better quality of life for foster children in Louisiana. We collect new and unused items for the entire month of July. We focus on collecting items for babies and toddlers since the organization does not receive as many donations for them throughout the year as they do for the older children. Our goal is to continue to work with Brave Heart, Children In Need Inc. to help make a difference in the lives of our local foster children.

Dominican Sisters Of The Presentation Community Clinic, Guaimaca, Honduras

In 2009, Dr. Sherman began working with the Dominican Sisters Of The Presentation in Guaimaca, Honduras by providing free dental care for the students of their school and local village residents in need. Since 2009, Dr. Sherman, his family, and a team of volunteers have traveled to Honduras once, and often twice a year, to continue to treat as many patients as possible. Not only do the students receive general dental care, but also orthodontic treatment when needed. Through their efforts, in October 2017,  Dr. Sherman, along with multiple volunteers, was able to open a new, fully-functional dental clinic to meet the many dental needs of the students and residents of Guaimaca.

4theKids Baton Rouge, Inc.

4theKids is a local charity started by teens in 2012 and co-founded by Dr. Sherman’s daughter Elizabeth at the age of 15. 4theKids works to improve local hospital facilities for children, and promote teen involvement in the community. 4theKids has contributed over $125,000 towards the construction of the new freestanding  Our Lady of the Lake Children’s Hospital in Baton Rouge. Our office enjoys helping their efforts by attending fundraising events and supporting their endeavor.

National MS Society

Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics is involved in several events for the National MS Society. This organization works to advocate and raise money to improve the quality of life for people living with Multiple Sclerosis and hopefully find a cure. We attend and serve as a sponsor for the annual On The Move Luncheon. We also participate in Walk MS. Dr. Balhoff created a team in support of one of our team members, who has MS. Last year we not only had the largest walk team, which consisted of over sixty people, but we won the award for best team shirt, the most money raised per team & also the most money raised per individual.

Every Smile Tells a Story

We love it when our patients smile, and we love it even more when want they want to tell the world! Check out what our patients have to say about their 5-star experience with us.
Ben K.
The best orthodontic group there is! My treatment plan was very smooth and Dr. Kramer made sure to take his time to explain everything to me. They also made sure that my braces were never bothering me and that I was at comfort while getting my smile fixed. I still have my braces on currently, but so far it’s worth every penny. I have see very good results and I have only had my braces on for 10 months. I can’t wait to see the final result.
Cassandra C.
I transferred my care to this location after moving and I’m impressed ! They’re very kind and professional. The office is so cute. I definitely recommend !
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Cassandra! We're thrilled to hear you feel welcomed and impressed by our team. Your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again!
Alicia C.
My daughter just got braces at Sherman and Balhoff Prairieville's office. We are very pleased with the way the entire process. The staff are excellent! Very friendly, caring, and professional. They took great care of us by explaining every part of the process, and that put all our concerns to rest. I will always highly recommend Sherman and Balhoff. They're the best!!!!!
Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you and your daughter had a positive experience with our team. Your recommendations mean a lot to us. We look forward to seeing you again!
Rebecca
Five of our children have received treatment from Dr. Balhoff. We wouldn’t go anywhere else. The entire staff at Sherman and Balhoff Orthodontics has been wonderful.
Response from the owner:Thank you for trusting us with your family! We love having all of you here.
Gannon B.
It was easy to make an appointment and I was seen quickly by their professional and knowledgeable staff.
I had a great experience and would highly recommend them to any family or friends.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your review Gannon!! Patients like you make our day brighter!
Jenn G.
Really great, honest people who are fantastic at what they do. The whole staff is so kind, personable and friendly.
Response from the owner:Thank you Jenn. We love what we do and people like you make our day even better!
MDU U.
From the very first time you walk though the door, it is a wonderful experience. The staff are all friendly, kind and knowledgeable. We have a wonderful experience every time and cannot recommend this practice highly enough.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your kind review. Having wonderful people like you in our office makes our days spectacular!
Davia W.
The absolute best! We were recommended by my children’s dentist and the office was directly next door (Prairieville location). The entire office staff is amazing and very personable which had me sold from the consultation. My son started treatment in Aug 2024 and so did I Dec 2024. The reviews definitely match the experience and I’d recommend over and over again!!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Davia! We're thrilled to hear that you and your son have had such positive experiences with us. Our team strives to provide exceptional service, and your recommendation means the world to us. We look forward to continuing to support you both throughout your treatment!
Carly D.
After having my braces off for only 7 months from a previous orthodontist, I switched to S&B after not being happy with my results and incomplete treatment. One of the best decisions I've made. Great with time management, quick and easy appointments, friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your positive experience, Carly! We're thrilled to hear that switching to Sherman & Balhoff Orthodontics has made such a difference for you. Our team is dedicated to providing efficient and friendly service, and your recommendation means a lot to us. We look forward to continuing to support your orthodontic journey!
Scott D.
I recently completed my second go-round with braces (my first was many years ago as a teenager), as a 60 year old patient of S&B.
I want to express my most sincere appreciation for the results I see when I look in the mirror...the results have exceeded my expectations.
Additionally, I was very impressed with the way I was treated (as a patient) each and every time I had an appointment.
Yet, I believe one of the most impactful (and unexpected) memories of this journey was the way I felt each time I left the building (at the end of each appointment.) With no exception, each time I was there, I felt a genuine teamwork atmosphere. To the person, they not only expressed care for me (the patient) but they expressed care for each other (the employee.)
Thank you, S&B, for not only leaving me with a visual example of success but, moreover, an emotional example of success.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words about us and our staff. We work diligently day in and day out to provide the best patient experience possible, so it’s wonderful to hear when we meet our goals!
Allison K.
They are amazing with everyone. My daughter just had braces put on in May and they have been wonderful with questions, etc.
Response from the owner:Allison thank you for your kind words about us and our staff. We work diligently day in and day out to provide the best patient experience possible, so it’s wonderful to hear when we meet our goals!
Dana G.
I used Sherman and Balhoff myself as an adult and now my daughter is a patient there. They are the best and go above and beyond for their patients. Dr. Sherman even came back after closing because my daughter was having an issue with her bite after getting her braces put on. He was so very nice and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.
Response from the owner:Dana thank you for your kind words! Your vote of confidence in our practice is why we do what we do!
Spunky E.
I only been in for first appointment and so far it has been great. The facility is great and the staff is all fantastic!
Response from the owner:Thank you for taking the time to leave us a great 5-star review!
