Dr. Sierra

Dr. Sierra Burick

Wake Forest University, Health and Exercise Science | UNC Chapel Hill, Dental School | University of Louisville, MS and Orthodontic Residency (Chief Resident)
Dr. Burick's connection to orthodontics is personal. She went through two phases of braces as a teenager and found the whole process genuinely interesting rather than stressful. That experience planted the seed for her career: she wanted to create that same confidence and sense of transformation for other patients.She brings that energy to every patient at the Ukiah office. She believes in working as a team with patients throughout treatment, focusing on comfort, trust, and making sure the whole process feels rewarding rather than just something to get through. Her goal is that patients actually look forward to appointments.Dr. Burick is excited to call Northern California home. She has been exploring the local food scene, spending time outdoors in the region, and digging into good books. She is a loyal ACC sports fan, cheers for the Atlanta Braves, and has now adopted the San Francisco Giants.

Dr. Rael Bernstein, DDS

Wits Dental School, South Africa (graduated top of class) | SUNY Buffalo Orthodontic Residency | Clinical Assistant Professor, University Faculty
Dr. Bernstein founded WOW! Smiles and built it into a nine-location practice across California. He has lectured nationally to other orthodontists and dentists on self-ligation techniques and early interception treatment. The technology and clinical approach at WOW! Smiles Ukiah reflect that depth of expertise.His commitment to every patient: the most effective and current orthodontic care, delivered with genuine energy and care. Great results and a genuinely good experience are not mutually exclusive.Outside the office: go-kart racer, snowboarder, fitness enthusiast, and devoted to his wife Debbie and their two daughters.

Ukiah's WOW! Smiles:
Specialist Orthodontic Care for NorCal

WOW! Smiles has brought specialist orthodontic care to Ukiah that serves the entire region: Mendocino County, Lake County, and communities stretching north into Humboldt and Trinity Counties. For many families from Willits to Fort Bragg to Lakeport, WOW! Smiles Ukiah is the closest qualified orthodontic specialist practice available. The same-day start option means most patients can complete their consultation and begin treatment in a single trip.

Our Pitts21 self-ligating metal braces move teeth faster with fewer appointments than conventional brackets, which matters a great deal when driving into Ukiah from outlying areas. Invisalign for teens and adults requires fewer total visits compared to braces, making it particularly practical for patients who live at a distance from the office.

The WOW! Growth Guidance Program monitors your child's orthodontic development at no cost, so parents in Redwood Valley, Hopland, Potter Valley, and beyond can stay informed about their child's smile without an expensive out-of-pocket exam. Most major PPO insurance plans are accepted and $0 down financing is available so the upfront cost is never a barrier to starting.

The before and after gallery shows real results from WOW! Smiles patients. The orthodontic info center answers common questions before you make the drive in.

What Ukiah and NorCal Patients Are Saying

Families and adults from across Mendocino, Lake, and Humboldt Counties share their experience at WOW! Smiles Ukiah.

It is really nice to not be insecure when I smile. It boosts my confidence. The experience at WOW! Smiles changed how I feel about myself every day.

Isic | WOW! Smiles Patient

Dr. Burick is wonderful. She explains everything clearly and makes you feel like she is genuinely invested in the outcome. The team is warm and the office runs on time, which matters a lot when you are driving in from outside of Ukiah.

Ukiah Patient | Google

We drive from Lakeport for every appointment and it is absolutely worth it. There is no one else in the area at this level. The same-day start meant we only had to make the trip once to get everything going.

Lake County Patient | Google

Brought my son in for his first check and left with a complete picture of what his treatment will involve. No pressure, totally clear explanation, and the $0 down financing made it easy to start without worrying about budget. Highly recommend.
