The practice emphasizes a commitment to excellence and provides a wide range of dental services, catering to both children and adults. The clinic offers comprehensive general dentistry, including hygiene visits, fillings, crowns, and bridges, with a strong focus on preventive care. This involves in-office strategies such as fluoride treatments, X-rays, sealants, orthodontics, mouth guards, and oral cancer screenings, alongside encouraging good at-home oral care. Beyond general dentistry, Oceanfront Dentistry specializes in cosmetic dentistry to enhance the aesthetic appearance of teeth, gums, or bite. Popular cosmetic procedures available include professional teeth whitening (both in-office and take-home options), tooth-colored fillings, and porcelain veneers. They also provide implant dentistry and Invisalign for comprehensive orthodontic solutions. A key aspect of Oceanfront Dentistry is its dedication to patient comfort and utilizing modern dental technology. The clinic features state-of-the-art equipment such as new digital radiography (reducing radiation exposure by up to 90%), intraoral cameras, and laser diagnosis (Diagnodent). They also employ Cerec 3D for single-visit crowns, eliminating the need for temporary restorations, and Waterlase MD, a dental laser that can replace traditional drills for certain procedures, often without anesthesia. The office environment is designed to be relaxing and friendly, complete with top-of-the-line ADEC 511 dental chairs and virtual reality movie glasses for patient entertainment during restorative appointments. Both Dr. White and Dr. Heffelfinger are highly experienced and committed to the community. Dr. White, a Virginia Beach native, is actively involved in local charities and serves on several advisory boards. Dr. Heffelfinger, originally from Delaware, has been recognized as a "Top Dentist" by Coastal Virginia Magazine and frequently volunteers at local elementary schools to promote dental health.
