One practice for the whole family

Your child's dentist and orthodontist are on the same team.

Most families see a pediatric dentist in one place and an orthodontist somewhere else, then repeat the same history twice. Here, both specialties are part of one practice.

So when a checkup turns up crowding or a bite problem, the next step is with people your child already knows. No starting over with a new office and a new stack of forms.

Parents can get braces or clear aligners here too. Richmond families have trusted us with their smiles for over 100 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend bringing your child in after their first tooth erupts or by their first birthday, whichever comes first. Early visits help us monitor development and get your child comfortable with the dentist from the start.

Nope! Parents booking for a child, teens and adults can all come straight to us. Referrals are welcome but never required. Plus, your initial orthodontic consultation is complimentary. Just give us a call at (804) 740-7281.

We treat children, teens, and adults! The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first checkup by age 7, but you’re never too old to start. In fact, 1 in 3 orthodontic patients today is an adult. Early treatment for your child or a new smile for yourself, we can help with both.

The cost of braces or Invisalign depends on your unique treatment plan. During your complimentary consultation, our orthodontists will walk you through your options, estimated timeline, and payment plans. We offer flexible financing so cost never stands in the way of a great smile.

Pediatric dentists complete two to three years of additional specialized training beyond dental school, focused entirely on treating infants, children, teens, and patients with special needs. This means our doctors are specifically trained to make dental visits comfortable and age-appropriate for your child.

For pediatric dentistry, we also accept Virginia Medicaid dental benefits for children, including Cardinal Care Smiles (formerly known as Smiles For Children), DentaQuest, and Doral.

Feel free to call our pediatric dentistry line at (804) 741-2226 or our orthodontic line at (804) 740-7281 and we’ll help you sort it out.
