Welcome to Bee Happy Orthodontics for Children and Adults

We do not require a Dentist referral and offer free first consultations without obligation.

Bee Happy Orthodontics was founded in 1985 in Bendigo by Dr Bruce Sokel with two Dental Nurses and one administrative support staff.

Dr Bruce Sokel has now retired and Dr. Tissa Jayasekera provides treatment options to ensure straight teeth, and recommends treatment to ensure proper jaw and teeth alignment as required.

Dr Tissa knows all the latest treatment techniques, forms of braces and treatment options that best suit each patient.

We also provide dental x-rays on site that are bulk billed through VDIG.  You will need an appointment to have an xray taken, please call our office on 5442 5100 to arrange a time.

    

 

Our mission is to provide innovative and caring orthodontic treatment to create beautiful smiles for life.
