Highly effective in preventing tooth decay on the chewing surfaces of your posterior teeth, sealants are a simple procedure in which a white-colored acrylic “coating” is painted into the grooves of the tooth. This effectively “seals” the deep grooves of the tooth where decay is most likely to start and allows your toothbrush to more easily clean the chewing surface.
If you have any questions about Sealants, call us at 703-978-5660 or make an appointment online.
We provide state-of-the-art, custom-made athletic mouthguards for all patients requiring protection during athletic competition in “at risk” sports. Store-bought, over-the-counter mouthguards do not fit as well nor do they provide the anticipated and necessary protection to help prevent dental injuries. The only mouthguard that should be worn is one made from a custom model of your mouth. Each patient has individual requirements for fit, comfort, level of competition, and compliance. Only a professionally designed, custom sportsguard satisfies these requirements.

Do you clench or grind your teeth at night? A night guard may be your answer!
A night guard is a retainer-like plastic appliance that can be worn on either the top or the bottom row of teeth. It protects the teeth from the pressure of clenching and grinding by providing a cushion between the upper and lower teeth.
A night guard can be a simple, affordable solution for protecting your teeth and jaws from the damaging effects of nighttime clenching and grinding by helping to relax the muscles in the jaw. Once we determine that you’re a good candidate for a night guard, we will create one that’s custom-made for your mouth, and you can rest soundly again.

Many people believe that once they have dentures, they no longer need routine dental care. Denture wearers, however, require regular oral exams to ensure their oral health, comfort, and appearance. Gum tissues are in a constant state of change, and periodic refining and relining of the dentures may be necessary to ensure a tight, comfortable, and confident fit.
If you have any questions about Dentures, call us at 703-978-5660 or make an appointment online.
If you’re interested in dental implants in Fairfax or Burke, the team at Northern Virginia Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is ready to help. We offer this treatment to people who would like something more permanent and strong than traditional dentures. People from all over the Fairfax area have experienced wonderful results after undergoing this procedure at our Burke office.
One of the most exciting new treatments that we offer here at Northern Virginia Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry is prosthetic tooth implants. A vast improvement over traditional dentures, these prosthetics last for 20 or more years and look and function exactly like natural teeth.
Before we start the procedure, we’ll make sure that your teeth and gums are as healthy as they can be to ensure the best results. Treatment involves inserting a small titanium screw into the bone where your tooth is missing. A prosthetic tooth that is customized to match your other teeth is attached to the screw. Over a period of a few months, the screw will actually fuse with the existing bone to provide a strong root replacement. You treat your implants just like you would your normal teeth. You never have to worry about them falling out when you eat or laugh!
For Fairfax dental implants, the right place to call is Northern Virginia Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. Don’t wait to have your bright and healthy smile back: call us today.

At the Burke office of Northern Virginia Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we provide top-quality care for people all over Burke, Annandale, and Fairfax. Dental crowns are one of the treatments that we offer for people whose teeth have been damaged for one reason or another. We know that you’ll love the results of this procedure!
Also called “caps” or “jackets”, crowns help make a broken, misshapen or cracked tooth look like new again. Usually made of porcelain, they help restore your tooth to its natural shape. They’re often recommended after you have a root canal procedure or if one of your teeth has become fragile due to injury or disease. They help hide any imperfections and protect the tooth from further damage.
We’ll be happy to schedule you a consultation so we can describe the procedure to you in detail and answer any of your questions. We’ll do a thorough exam before we provide the treatment to make sure that your teeth and gums are healthy. We know that you’ll be excited about how your teeth look after restoration with this treatment.
When you need Fairfax dental crowns, you’ll get gentle and experienced treatment at Northern Virginia Smiles Family & Cosmetic Dentistry. Our doctors are both members in good standing of the American Dental Association. At our office, everyone treats you with the respect and professionalism that you deserve! Call us today.

Imagine making your teeth eight shades whiter – in 45 minutes – while you watch TV or listen to music!
With the Zoom! whitening treatment, you can.
Zoom! is an in-office procedure recently featured on ABC’s Extreme Makeover. After having your teeth cleaned, this safe, effective bleaching treatment is broken into three identical 15-minute segments, performed all in one session:
Zoom! whitening gel is applied to your teeth.
A slightly heated lamp is shone into your mouth for 15 minutes, during which time you can relax and watch television or listen to music.
The light activates the ingredients in the gel, penetrating the teeth and bleaching away the discoloration – without harming your teeth’s structure.
After 15 minutes, rinse!
That’s all there is to it. Zoom! takes much less time than at-home kits and toothpastes, and makes your teeth an average of 2-4 shades lighter. You’ll see immediate results that last longer.
If you have any questions about Zoom! Whitening, call us at 703-978-5660 or make an appointment online.
Today you can get your cavities and other small, hollow areas in your teeth filled with composite fillings. Composite fillings are made from resins that are matched to your tooth’s color so that they become invisible when placed. The factors that go into our decision to place composite fillings include:
The size of the area needing to be restored;
The location of the affected area in the mouth;
Patient allergies;
Patient preference for non-metal dental restorations;
Cosmetic concerns.
If you are unsure about the type of filling to use, schedule an appointment today for a consultation.
