As part of the larger Virginia Family Dentistry network, this specific location specializes in two key areas: pediatric dentistry and orthodontics. For pediatric patients, the clinic is designed to make dental visits fun and positive, with child-sized chairs, murals, and even a playroom. Their pediatric dentists, including Dr. Jeff Laughlin, Dr. Ethan Puryear, Dr. Laura M. Satoski, and Dr. David M. Voth, are highly experienced in caring for children from age one onwards. Services for children include infant oral exams, oral health education, cleanings, preventive treatments like fluoride and sealants, restorations (fillings, crowns), sedation dentistry, outpatient surgery (including frenectomy for tongue/lip ties), early orthodontic evaluation, and emergency care. They prioritize creating a comfortable and safe experience for young patients, with specific protocols for behavior management and special needs. The orthodontic suite at the West End location caters to both children and adults. The team of orthodontists, including Dr. Dwight Buelow, Dr. Richard Marcus, Dr. Allison Purcell, Dr. Melanie Spears, and Dr. Taylor B. Varner, offer a range of treatments such as traditional braces, Invisalign (for teens and adults, with the clinic being an Invisalign Elite provider), SmileUp clear aligners, and orthodontic retainers. They provide complimentary orthodontic consultations and utilize digital impressions for precise treatment planning. The clinic emphasizes a collaborative approach, with pediatric dentists and orthodontists working together for comprehensive patient care. Virginia Family Dentistry distinguishes itself with its multi-specialty approach, aiming to provide complete dental care for lifelong patients within a single practice. The West End Pediatric & Orthodontic Specialty Center reflects this commitment by offering specialized services in a facility specifically designed for these unique needs.
