Meet Dr. Victor Grazina
Dr. Victor J.R. Grazina — or Dr. Vic as our patients love to call him — is an admitted ortho geek who loves serving up healthy, beautiful smiles to East Hampton and Riverhead communities.
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
A lifelong learner and teacher of orthodontics, Dr. Vic earned two bachelor’s degrees from the University of Florida (Zoology and Human Nutrition) and then graduated Magna Cum Laude from SUNY Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, where he was elected by his peers to be President of his class and Chair of the Ethics Committee.

YOUR EAST HAMPTON & RIVERHEAD ORTHODONTIST
Meet Dr. Hailey Taylor
Dr. Hailey Taylor — or Dr. Hailey as our patients love to call her — works with Dr. Vic to bring patients in East Hampton and Riverhead the high-quality care and exceptional results that Facing the Future Orthodontics is known for.
EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE
Dr. Hailey grew up in Northern California, but after attending Stony Brook for her orthodontic residency, she chose to join us here on the East End.
Her mom, a nurse practitioner, actually told her, “Don’t be a doctor.” So after finishing her bachelor’s degree from Worcester Polytechnic Institute in Massachusetts, Dr. Hailey worked for three years as a chemical engineer.
While she had a passion for the science of engineering, she really wanted to work with people. That’s when she decided to go to dental school.
Dr. Hailey completed her dental degree at UC San Francisco and then spent three years at Stony Brook to specialize in orthodontics.
WHY ORTHODONTICS?
Dr. Hailey loves how orthodontics combines science and art and allows her to build strong relationships with the patients and families we serve here in East Hampton and Riverhead.
Orthodontist vs. Dentist: Why Choose an Orthodontist?
Orthodontists specialize in diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities. Unlike general dentists, orthodontists undergo additional training to address complex orthodontic issues, ensuring that you receive the most effective and specialized care for teeth straightening and jaw alignment.
Comprehensive Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits that go beyond aesthetics. Physically, it improves oral health, corrects bite issues, and enhances chewing efficiency. Mentally, a beautiful smile boosts self-confidence and self-esteem. Socially and professionally, straight teeth create positive first impressions and improve communication, helping you succeed in personal and professional interactions.
