Ribbon-Cutting, Open House, Proclamation For ARCH Orthodontics' New Office in Westwood

The Open House for the new Westwood office of ARCH Orthodontics at 745 High Street (Rte. 109), hosted by Dr. Robert Chavez who founded ARCH 42 years ago, and his son, Dr. Andrew Chase, drew an impressive crowd for a bitter cold weeknight. Adding to the festivities were an official ribbon-cutting with Miss Massachusetts Meagan Fuller (ARCH is the Official Orthodontist of Miss Massachusetts), and a Proclamation from the Commonwealth sponsored by State Representative Paul McMurtry. Representing the town was Selectman Michael Walsh. Several area dentists who refer patients to ARCH were on hand.

ARCH’s new office is 3,000 square feet with a waiting area about the size of the old location. It includes a dedicated iPad/gaming area and complimentary wi-fi for patient use as well as refreshments. It’s a comfortable home-like feel where the staff uses only modern ‘state of the art’ materials and equipment. The walls are a palette of earth-friendly, relaxing tones. In the examining room, rather than traditional stools, doctors and hygienists sit on colorful, ‘fitness ball chairs.’ Nine year-old Aden G. of Needham said, “I never knew an Orthodontist’s office could be so cool. The iPads are a good idea for a waiting room.”

During its six years in Westwood, ARCH Orthodontics won First Prize in the ‘Hometown Best Readers’ Favorites’ poll in its category for the second consecutive year. ARCH has also been an exhibitor and supporter of Westwood Days.

As part of its 42nd year of service, ARCH is offering free consultations for all ages – a $500 value – and no-interest financing. The practice offers a courtesy discount to those currently serving in the military, veterans and members of their immediate families. A similar offer is available to Town of Westwood employees and their immediate families.
