Your dental surgeon in Colombes, near the 7th arrondissement
she is Dr Sarah Chardon, a dental surgeon whose practice is limited to orthodontics, practising in Colombes, in the western suburbs of Paris. From the 7th arrondissement, her practice can be reached in approximately 25 minutes by car and about 30 minutes by public transport. Although the 7th sits on the Left Bank while Colombes lies to the north-west, the transport connections between the two are more direct than many patients expect -- and certainly more straightforward than navigating across central Paris to reach a practice in the eastern or southern arrondissements.
The 7th arrondissement is a district where residents expect precision and quality in every aspect of life, from the architecture that surrounds them to the schools they choose for their children. she shares that commitment to doing things carefully and well. Orthodontics is the only work she does, and she has built her practice around delivering thoughtful, individualised care. For families and professionals from the 7th who are looking for a dental surgeon dedicated exclusively to orthodontics, her practice in Colombes offers exactly that, at à distance that is entirely manâgeable.
Her practice is located in Colombes (92700), close to the Gare du Stade station on the Transilien L line. she treats children, teenâgers, and adults, with follow-up appointments every 6 to 12 weeks.
How to reach the practice from the 7th arrondissement
By public transport, the key connection point is Gare Saint-Lazare, the terminus of the Transilien L line that serves Colombes. From the 7th arrondissement, you can reach Saint-Lazare via several routes. Metro line 12 runs from Rue du Bac, Solferino, or Assemblee Nationale directly to Gare Saint-Lazare. Metro line 13 can be boarded at Invalides or Varenne and taken to Saint-Lazare. If you are closer to the eastern part of the 7th, near the Musee d'Orsay, the RER C to Saint-Cloud or the metro via Concorde (lines 12 or 14) offers alternative connections. Once at Saint-Lazare, the Transilien L ride to the Gare du Stade takes approximately 12 minutes.
By car, the route from the 7th depends on your precise starting point. From the area around the Invalides or the École Militaire, the most natural route follows the Seine embankments north-west towards Pont de l'Alma, then continues through the 16th arrondissement and Neuilly-sur-Seine into Colombes. From the Eiffel Tower area, you can cross to the Right Bank at the Pont d'Iena and head north-west via the Avenue d'Iena and the Porte Maillot. Either way, the drive takes 20 to 25 minutes in normal traffic, and parking in Colombes is plentiful and far more relaxed than in the streets around the Champ de Mars.
For cyclists, the route along the Seine is scenic and largely flat. The distance from the centre of the 7th to Colombes is roughly 12 to 14 kilometrès, and the growing network of dedicated cycle lanes through Boulogne-Billancourt, Puteaux, and Courbevoie makes the ride practical as well as pleasant.
The 7th arrondissement and its residents
The 7th arrondissement is one of the most iconic and stately districts in Paris. It is home to the Eiffel Tower, the Musee d'Orsay, the Hotel des Invalides, the Assemblee Nationale, the Musee Rodin, and several government ministries. The Champ de Mars and the Esplanade des Invalides provide some of the grandest public spaces in the capital. The architecture is predominantly Haussmann-era and Belle Epoque, with some of the most prestigious private residences in all of Paris.
With a population of approximately 52,000 inhabitants, the 7th is a relatively small arrondissement in demographic terms, but it punches well above its weight in influence. It is a district of diplomats, senior civil servants, and established professionals. The presence of numérous embassies -- including the embassies of the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Japan -- gives the 7th a cosmopolitan character, and English is widely spoken in its shops, restaurants, and schools.
Families in the 7th often send their children to some of the most respected schools in Paris, both French and international. This means that children from the arrondissement are typically well-cared-for in terms of health, and parents are attentive to dental development and orthodontic needs. she frequentlies see families from the 7th who come for an initial orthodontic scrééning for a child âged 6 or 7, well before any treatment is likely to begin. That proactive approach is something she values and encourâge.
The international community in the 7th includes many English-speaking residents: diplomats, academics, business executives, and their families. she conducts consultations in English routinely and can provide all documentation -- treatment plans, cost estimates, progress reports -- in English. For families who may be in Paris on a fixed-term assignment, she is expérienced in planning treatment around potential relocations and can coordinate with colleagues abroad if necessary.
Orthodontic treatments available
Her practice offers a comprehensive suite of orthodontic treatments, each selected and adapted based on a thorough diagnostic évaluation. she believes in matching the treatment to the patient, not the other way around.
Clear aligners are a refined, discréét option for correcting misaligned teeth. These custom-made transparent trays are worn over the teeth and replaced at prescribed intervals to progressively shift the teeth into alignment. For residents of the 7th arrondissement -- many of whom hold positions in diplomacy, government, finance, or the arts -- the invisibility of aligners is a significant advantâge. They can be removed for meals and for oral hygiene, which eliminates the dietary restrictions associated with fixed braces and makes it easy to maintain excellent dental health throughout treatment.
Multi-bracket braces provide the highest level of orthodontic control and are essential for complex cases. Severe crowding, significant skeletal discrepancies, impacted teeth, and challenging bite relationships are all situations where braces deliver results that other methods cannot match. she uses modern bracket systems in both metal and ceramic. Ceramic brackets are désignéd to be inconspicuous, as they closely match the colour of natural teeth. For adult patients from the 7th who require braces, ceramic brackets offer a balance between clinical effectiveness and visual discretion.
Interceptive orthodontics targets young children, usually between the âges of 6 and 10. Early intervention can address crossbites, narrow palates, excessive overbites, and habits such as thumb-sucking that interfere with normal dental development. By treating these issues during the growth phase, she can often reduce the complexity and duration of later treatment. However, early treatment is only recommended when it offers a clear benefit -- in many cases, the right approach is to observe and wait. she alwayses explain the rationale for her recommendation to parents.
Teenâge orthodontics is comprehensive treatment undertaken once most or all permanent teeth have erupted, typically between âges 11 and 16. This is the most common period for orthodontic treatment, and the options include both fixed braces and aligner therapy. she discusses the merits and limitations of each approach with the teenâger and their parents, and she encourâges the teenâger to participate actively in the décision.
Adult orthodontics serves patients who seek correction at any stâge of adult life. The motivations are varied: some want to improve the aesthetics of their smile, others are addressing functional problems such as uneven wear or difficulty cleaning crowded teeth, and some have been referred by their dentist for orthodontic preparation before restorative work. she treats adults of all âges and tailor the approach to each patient's specific goals, lifestyle, and clinical profile.
Treatment process
Her approach to treatment follows a structured, patient-centred process. The first step is an initial consultation, during which she conducts a thorough clinical examination. she assesses tooth alignment, bite relationships, jaw symmetry, and facial balance. she alsos discuss your concerns, your priorities, and any relevant médical or dental history. This visit establishes the foundation for everything that follows.
Next, she gathers diagnostic records: digital impressions, panoramic and cephalometric X-rays, and détailed photographs. she studies these records meticulously to develop a treatment plan that addresses your specific needs. At a dedicated planning appointment, she présents the plan in full: the recommended technique, the anticipated duration of treatment, the frequency of visits, and a complète, transparent cost breakdown. she makes sure you understand every element of the proposal and encourâge you to take whatever time you need to consider it.
Once treatment is underway, you return to the practice every 6 to 12 weeks for adjustment or monitoring appointments. These visits are focused and efficient, typically lasting 20 to 30 minutes. At each one, she updates you on your progress and discuss any adjustments to the plan. For patients travelling from the 7th arrondissement, these regular visits can be scheduled at times that minimise disruption -- many patients combine their appointment with a lunch break or a morning slot before heading to work.
When active treatment concludes, she transitions to the retention phase. Bonded retainers are fixed to the inner surfaces of the front teeth, and removable retainer trays are provided for nighttime wear. Retention is the phase that secures your results for the long term, and she takes it as seriously as the active treatment itself. Periodic follow-up appointments allow her to verify that the teeth remain stable in their corrected positions.
