Meet Your Orthodontist — Caring for Smiles
in Potsdam & Plattsburgh

Dr. Robert Agnetta, family orthodontist in Potsdam and Plattsburgh, NY

A Trusted Local Orthodontist for the Whole Family

Hi, I’m Dr. Robert Agnetta, and I’m so glad you’re here.

For over 30 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping families across Potsdam, Plattsburgh, and the North Country feel comfortable and confident in their smiles. I opened my Potsdam office in 2016 and welcomed Plattsburgh families in 2021, and through every chapter, my approach has stayed the same: friendly, honest care that treats every patient like family.

My journey to orthodontics started in dental school at Loma Linda University, where I later earned my master’s degree in Orthodontics. After years of private practice across Idaho and a few stops in between, I moved to Northern New York in 2012 and have been proud to call the North Country home ever since.

When I’m not at the office, you’ll find me with my wife Karen, our kids Alison and Evan, and outdoors, biking, skiing, or cheering on football. But my favorite thing in the world is still walking into the office every morning and getting to do what I love: helping families smile.

Experience You Can Trust

For over 30 years, families across the North Country have trusted Dr. Agnetta with their smiles. His training and experience include:

  • Loma Linda University School of Dentistry — Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS)
  • Loma Linda University — Master’s degree in Orthodontics
  • Active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, and Northeastern Society of Orthodontists
  • Former Director of the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists
  • 30+ years of orthodontic practice across two states
  • Continuing education to stay current with the latest comfortable, effective care

But credentials are just part of the story. The real difference is how Dr. Agnetta treats every patient, with warmth, honesty, and the kind of personal attention you’d hope for from a family doctor.

Personalized Orthodontic Care

Every smile is different, which is why every treatment plan starts with a conversation. At your free first visit, Dr. Agnetta will take the time to:

  • Get to know you (or your child) — your goals, your concerns, your lifestyle
  • Take a friendly, gentle look at your smile
  • Walk you through your options in plain language — no clinical jargon, no pressure
  • Give honest guidance — including telling you if treatment isn’t needed
  • Build a plan that fits your family — your timeline, your budget, your priorities

 

You’ll leave knowing exactly what your smile needs (or doesn’t), with no rush to commit and no surprise fees later on.
