Frequently Asked Questions

When should I start taking my child to the dentist?

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! Whether you’re a parent scheduling for your child, a teen, or an adult looking to improve your smile—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. Whether it’s early intervention for your child or a smile upgrade for yourself, we’ve got you covered.

Sedation may be recommended for children with special needs, extreme dental anxiety, or those undergoing procedures where additional comfort is helpful. Our team will review your child’s medical history and walk you through every option so you feel confident in the decision.

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.

We accept most major dental insurance plans. Our team is happy to verify your benefits before your visit so there are no surprises. 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.

You can request an appointment online anytime, or call us directly. We have five convenient locations across Richmond, VA and our friendly team is always happy to help find a time that works for your family.
