Welcome to the family! Virginia Family Dentistry’s five Orthodontists are always accepting new patients.
Complimentary Orthodontic Consultations
Are you considering braces or Invisalign for yourself or your child? Consultations with our Orthodontists are complimentary at all Virginia Family Dentistry locations and only take about an hour.
This consultation will determine if you or your child are a candidate for orthodontic treatment. There is no fee or obligation for this appointment. The orthodontist will evaluate how your teeth and bite fit together, examine crowding or spacing of the teeth, and address any of your aesthetic concerns. Any current treatment needs will be reviewed and discussed.
It is possible that treatment will need to be delayed, in which case you or your child will be seen for complimentary observation visits on a three or six month basis to track growth or dental development.

Insurance and Financing
At Virginia Family Dentistry, we understand that finances are often the primary concern for patients and parents considering orthodontic treatment. We offer flexible in- office financing and accept many insurance plans in order to keep orthodontic treatment reasonable for your budget. At your complementary initial examination, the orthodontist will evaluate your treatment needs. At this visit, we will be able to give the total treatment cost and work with you to fit the monthly payments into your budget.
Diagnostic Records
The records visit involves taking x-rays, photos, and impressions of your teeth for study models. These records will give the orthodontist the information needed to complete your individual treatment plan for optimal bite and a beautiful smile. This visit can sometimes be combined with the other visits, including the consultation.
If you or your child will be doing Invisalign treatment, then a digital scan of your teeth will be taken using the iTero scanner. The orthodontist will review your scan and will be able to make slight adjustments to the model for teeth movement. This model will be used to create all of your custom trays.
