Whitaker & Adams, DDS

Specialties

At Adams — Whitaker Orthodontics, it is our mission to provide the highest quality orthodontic treatment at a good value in a caring environment. Patients in the Torrance, Redondo Beach, and Palos Verdes, CA communities have come to trust our boutique practice over the past 30 years because of our commitment to excellence in patient care.

Dr. Mike Adams and Dr. John Whitaker are specialists in orthodontics, focused solely on the balance of facial aesthetics and function. Whether patients are interested in traditional metal braces, the cosmetic option of clear braces, or the clear convenience of Invisalign® clear aligners, our orthodontists and team are here to help. We provide the one on one treatment that the clinics cannot provide, but our fees are competitive with the clinic fees so the patients are getting a much better value for their orthodontic experience. Creating beautiful smiles is what we do best, and we have the happy patients to prove it!

Meet the Business Owner

John W.

Business Owner

I truly enjoy being an orthodontist; every day is a different challenge and every person has a unique personality that must be motivated to get the best final result. Over the past 37 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many amazing people, both patients and team members. Each person has had a profound effect on the kind of person I have become, both in and outside the office. Orthodontic treatment can be a long journey, but the smiles are always worth it in the end.

Education and Continuing Education

I spent my entire formal education at the University of Southern California, first for my undergraduate degree, and continuing on for my Doctorate of Dental Surgery and my orthodontic specialty. In the over three decades since then, orthodontic technology has changed dramatically. I am committed to continuing education to keep up to date with all the newest and most effective techniques and treatment options.
