- Dental ExaminationYou do — in fact, it’s more important than ever! Keeping teeth free of plaque (and potentially, decay) can be challenging when you’re wearing braces. Your dentist can help you avoid these problems with frequent cleanings and exams.
- Teeth Cleaning
- Crowns
- Bridges
- Dental Implants
- Oral SurgeryDepending on the complexity of your procedure, the surgery could be performed in a hospital, ambulatory surgical center, or oral surgery office. The surgery takes several hours to complete. It is typically advised to take between one to three weeks off of normal activities to recover.
- Jaw SurgeryCorrective jaw surgery can not only improve the function of your smile, it can also improve your facial appearance.
- Tooth ExtractionsCrowding — Even before all of a child’s permanent (adult) teeth come in, we can tell when there will not be enough room to accommodate them. Widening the upper jaw can create the necessary space without the need for tooth extractions.
- OrthodonticsA Virginia native, Sarah decided to pursue a career in Orthodontics by attending a dental program here in the Shenandoah Valley following her Biology degree from Radford University. When she’s not in the office she’s a busy mama to her two kids Cora & Hudson. She enjoys traveling across Europe, kayaking and cooking with her husband in her spare time. We are appreciative that she keeps our practice running smoothly as practice manager and handles all of our marketing and social media accounts!
- Invisalign OrthodonticsThere’s a technology that’s (literally) putting a smile on plenty of young faces: the Invisalign® system of clear, removable aligners made especially for teens! If you (or a teenager you know) are a candidate for this treatment, you might find it’s the best fit for your lifestyle: It lets you eat what you want, makes it easier to clean your teeth — and best of all, it’s virtually invisible.
- BracesOrthodontists are dental specialists who diagnose and treat problems with the position, alignment or spacing of the teeth, and related irregularities in the face and the jaw. We use a number of special treatments, including braces and other oral appliances, to correct these problems.
- General DentistryAfter working in general dentistry for 2 years, Ashley found a love for the ortho side of teeth and joined our team as an orthodontic clinician. As our Invisalign coordinator, Ashley specializes in clear aligners and helps throughout the aligner ordering process. Ashley thoroughly enjoys rainy days, spending time with her two dogs, Mia and Rico, and doing any and all things that involves traveling!
