Our Story

A Family Tradition
Straight Smiles was started in 1981 by Dr. James Scramstad’s father, Dr. Don Scramstad. When James saw how much joy his father got from building relationships with his patients and giving them healthier, straighter smiles, he was inspired to follow in his footsteps. The father-son duo worked side by side until Dr. Don Scramstad retired and James took the reigns.

Once Dr. Don received a telegram notice (pictured right) that he passed his dental board exams, he started practicing in Kelowna as one of the “original six” dentists in town.

This was a year of big changes for the Straight Smiles team! We moved to our brand new office on Harvey Avenue offering our patients a more convenient location and free parking. In an effort to incorporate the newest technology advances, we purchased our third iTero® digital scanner and added 3D printing, allowing us to provide our patients with the most modern, comfortable care.

Friendly helpful staff, easy appointment scheduling, informative care, no stress. Prices are competitive and direct billing is a treat so I don't have to deal with extended health. Thank you for taking care of Chase and Evan.

I am so happy I picked Dr.Scramstad and his team for my orthodontic treatment. I was with them for almost three years. They are super friendly and really showed that they cared and wanted me to have the best results. They went above and beyond and I am so happy with my results! Thanks again!
Devon W.
We had an excellent experience with Straight Smiles for our daughters! The entire team was friendly, professional, and always made them feel comfortable during their appointments. Dr. Scramstad provided outstanding treatment and took the time to explain everything while also using advanced technology. The office is welcoming, well organized, and appointments are punctual, they also accommodated our family remotely. We are so happy with the results and our daughters' beautiful smiles. We highly recommend Dr. Scramstad and his team to any family looking for exceptional orthodontic care in Kelowna!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had such a wonderful experience. The staff was incredibly kind, patient, and gentle with my son, which made such a difference for him. They took the time to explain everything in a calm, reassuring way and really helped him feel comfortable and at ease. We’re so grateful for the care and compassion shown—highly recommend to any parent looking for a positive orthodontic experience.
Jonny E.
The staff at Straight Smiles are so nice and very good at what they do. James is extremely knowledgeable and detailed. He has gone above and beyond with my Invisalign treatment. I definitely recommend working with them! :)

James and his team are the best in level of service and awesomeness. So glad I found this place for braces at 40! Highly recommend!!

I have had such a great experience with Dr. Scramstad and his team! Everyone there is so friendly and professional. The office runs very smoothly and it is very clean and sanitary. I felt very safe during my appointments throughout the pandemic. Would highly recommend!
Shabir H.
I had an excellent experience over nearly two years of treatment at this orthodontic clinic. The entire team, from Cathy to Kerry and the dental assistants Jenny and Jennifer provided exceptional customer service, and Dr. James Scramstad is both friendly and professional. Every step of the process was clearly explained, and the care was always thorough and personalized. Highly recommend!
terrencemykytiw
I am pleased to share my outstanding experience at Straight Smiles, which exceeded my expectations from previous visits to three other orthodontists. Dr. James and his staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism, efficiency, and provided a significantly lower quote. The modern office space is bright and well-located. I highly recommend Straight Smiles to anyone looking to improve their smile and confidence.
Sandra A.
Dr. Scramsted and his wonderful team have been amazing throughout the process of getting my teeth straight. From being greeted with my name, by Cathy and Kerry, each time I had an appointment to being looked after with a big smile by Jenny, Jennifer and Vanessa. Dr. Scramsted goes above and beyond and is super professional and caring. I love my new smile and I would recommend Straight Smiles to anyone needing braces.
Jadon B.
Best & most nice people work here. Dr. Scramstad goes above and beyond to make sure that his patients are happy. So efficient, so effective. I will rave about this orthodontist office to everyone! Amazing service & amazing people
Cheyenne M.
I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the team at previously Align now Straight Smiles. Every single time they are the sweetest earth angels I have ever met. Ever single time they manage to go above and beyond. This time of year is very hard for a lot of people and they always make sure to make you feel loved even for 20 minutes. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the team to take care of me. Straight Smiles deserves the world and best in Kelowna! Every single time I leave, with a straight smile!! Even an happy tear sometimes, I know not everyone has the privilege, kindness goes so far and they always take it to the next level. I owe them, they deserve the biggest thank you ever. I will be back to drop off donations for Christmas for families. They really put the Christmas Cheer in this time of year. 10/10 just made my whole day 🥰
brooke I.
I started my treatment back in September and this place has the BEST customer service I have ever seen! I am constantly telling my friends and family on how friendly and knowledgeable everyone is! I still have a long ways to go with my Invisalign but get excited every time I have an appointment with them. I will continue to spread the word on how amazing they are!
