Outer Loop

We have moved! Our office is now located at 5615 Outer Loop, Louisville, Kentucky 40219. The new site is only one mile from our current location and will offer easier access to the entrance along with convenient parking. With our new address, you’ll now hear us referring to our practice as BracesBracesBraces Outer Loop.

We love to help patients achieve straight smiles and to educate them on oral health, but more than that, we love to see the self-confidence and self-esteem of our patients change through our care. We want to not only change the way the world sees our patients but also how they see themselves. Patients become like family throughout their treatment period with us (you will often catch us singing to and with our patients!), and we wouldn’t have it any other way!

New patients can now schedule online! If you're already a patient, please call your practice directly to schedule. You'll find a list of insurances we currently accept on our payment options page. If you do not see your insurance listed, please call our patient services team at (502) 961-0351. Please note that any patient portion of payment is due at the time of service.

Dr. Marcus Woods

Dr. Woods is the first to arrive at the office each day, wearing that signature smile that he is so well known for. His constant smile, along with his humble demeanor, makes patients instantly comfortable with him. All of these factors contribute to the atmosphere of his office, which is always fun and playful while remaining very attentive to the needs of his patients.

As a native of South Carolina, Dr. Woods attended Clemson University where he received his Bachelor of Science degree in Biological Sciences. Although he had always been interested in dentistry, he wasn’t sure what career path he wanted to pursue. His love for children led him to take a full-time position with the local YMCA that he had spent the previous summers working at. Over that next year, it became obvious to him what path he should take. Once decided, Dr. Woods applied for and began Dental School at the University of Louisville and had earned his degree by 2003. After completing a yearlong residency in Hospital Dentistry at the University of Louisville Hospital, he decided to continue with his education to specialize in orthodontics. By 2007, his many years of schooling were finally complete and he was ready to begin putting his education to use. Dr. Woods joined the practice in June of 2007.

It is always a huge compliment to hear that patients love coming to the office. Parents have joked that their children make up excuses just to hang out at the office with Dr. Woods and his staff. His energy is contagious and, although he seems shy, he can frequently be heard singing or may even be caught in a dance move. His dedication to his patients remains incomparable. The beauty of his treatment is the proactive role patients are encouraged to take in their treatment by discussing openly any concerns they may have. Dr. Woods realizes that each patient requires individual treatment. He may meet these people as patients, but they leave as friends.
