United Orthodontics

United Orthodontics operates as a specialized service under the umbrella of United Smiles Family Dentistry, with a key location in Chester, VA. This clinic is dedicated to providing comprehensive orthodontic care for patients of all ages, addressing a wide range of dental and facial abnormalities, from misaligned teeth and crowded smiles to issues like malocclusion and TMD (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder). The clinic prides itself on offering diverse treatment options to cater to individual patient needs and preferences. These include traditional metal braces, known for their effectiveness in correcting significant alignment issues, and ceramic braces, which offer a more aesthetic alternative due to their tooth-colored or clear brackets. For those seeking less visible options, United Orthodontics provides lingual braces, which are custom-fitted to the back of the teeth, and popular invisible aligner systems such as Invisalign and ClearCorrect. Beyond cosmetic enhancements, United Orthodontics emphasizes the importance of functional improvements, recognizing that properly aligned teeth and jaws are crucial for effective eating, speaking, and overall oral health. Untreated orthodontic problems can lead to more severe issues like tooth decay, gum disease, and muscle stress. The clinic aims to diagnose and treat these conditions early to prevent further complications. United Smiles, the parent entity, is committed to patient comfort and convenience, accepting most insurance plans and offering flexible payment options, including CareCredit, as well as discount plans for uninsured patients. Dr. George P. Varkey, the founder and CEO of United Smiles Family Dentistry and Orthodontics, leads a team of experienced dental professionals. The practice is known for its friendly and professional staff, a calm environment, and a commitment to explaining treatment options and financial details thoroughly to patients. They also welcome emergency and new patients and offer Saturday appointments at their various locations in the Richmond, Virginia area.
