Dentistry for Children Purcellville VA

Caring For Kids is Different
Choosing Your Child’s Dentist is Like Choosing Their Pediatrician

At Purcellville Dental, we understand this. Instilling good habits early, in an environment that's comfortable and fun, is essential for a lifetime of good oral health.

To ensure healthy teeth, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by 12 months old. Children’s teeth can be very susceptible to cavities at a young age due to many factors:

• Children are not able to brush well on their own. Because of this, it is important for parents to be involved in their child's daily dental care. This ensures thorough cleaning as well as the development of proper dental habits.

• Little kids tend to eat more often during the day (grazing). This results in a prolonged exposure to acid (every time you eat you make acid), which may cause more cavities.

A tooth that is not as clean as it should be will be exposed to acid when food and juice contact it. This acid often speeds up the development of cavities. The good news is that identifying poor dietary and hygiene habits, along with applying a fluoride varnish to the mineralizing teeth, can significantly reduce the chance of your child having a cavity.

Cure for Slipping Dentures Purcellville VA

New Breakthrough Cures Loose, Slipping Dentures
Do you hate your dentures? Have you been told that you can’t get implants due to insufficient bone density? If you hate your dentures because they slip, tilt, or wander, then you will be happy to know there is a permanent and affordable solution. They are called mini-implants. Mini-implants securely anchor your dentures, eliminating slippage and trapped food. They are placed in one visit, and are virtually painless. You can look forward to eating the same day you receive them. Additionally, they can often be placed where regular implants cannot, so you can receive the benefits of mini-implant supported dentures even if you are not a candidate for regular implants. And they are much less costly than traditional implants.

Dentist, Dr. Timothy Smith DDS provide denture dental services in Purcellville VA.

Dental Implants Dentist Purcellville VA

Missing Teeth? Why Not ‘Grow’ New Ones!
Dental implants are the ideal way to replace lost teeth. From the front of the mouth, where they are most visible, to the back, where they provide stability to chew a full variety of foods, implants can help you recapture a beautiful and healthy smile. Unlike bridges or removable dentures, which sit on top of the gums, dental implants are placed under the gums. The “tooth” placed on an implant appears life-like, because it comes through the gums just like the original did – it’s like growing a new tooth! Implants can be used to replace any number of lost teeth. Even people with no teeth can benefit from implants, because they can replace their dentures with teeth that don’t move around when they talk, and they don’t need to be taken out at night. Because we handle the entire process from implant placement to crown fabrication, there’s no need to be referred to another office.

Dental Laser Scanner Purcellville VA

The Laser Scanner Finds Cavities Years Earlier

Have you ever had a dentist find a cavity and place a large filling, and wondered why the filling is so large if the cavity wasn’t there just six months before? The cavity was there six months before – it just wasn’t big enough to show on X-rays, and it wasn’t visible to the dentist yet. The laser scanner can find cavities years earlier, when the small cavity can be removed and repaired with a small invisible bonded filling. Sometimes patients complain of tooth sensitivity, or mild to severe pain, yet X-rays and examination cannot pinpoint the source. The laser scanner can detect previously undetected decay and, once identified, allow us to remove the discomfort and leave you with a healthy smile.

Dental Root Canals Dentist Purcellville VA

Saving Hopeless Teeth
Teeth with roots that have been damaged or infected used to require extraction, which can cause a lot of problems and should be done as a last resort. When dental decay reaches the nerve of the tooth (or the tooth has become infected), a simple filling does not suffice. A root canal can save the tooth by removing the pulp of a tooth and replacing it with a filling material. Root canals of the past were quite painful and gained a reputation as something to be avoided. However, with today’s modern anesthetics and technology, we can perform root canals that are quite tolerable and often times even painless!

Smile Makeover Dentist Purcellville VA

‘Smile Makeovers’ in as Little as Two Visits!
If you have misshapen teeth, unsightly gaps, or deep discoloration, our veneers may be the answer. Veneers are contact-lens thin and super translucent. These porcelain coverings fit over and are bonded to your teeth, look natural, and are made from the most advanced dental ceramic available. Since these are so thin, little to no tooth reduction is necessary. Often times you won’t even need a shot

White dental fillings Purcellville VA


No Mercury! No Metals! No Kidding!
For years, the silver-mercury amalgam was the standard filling material used in dental practices, and many practices still use it. While they are a reasonable restoration, amalgams have certain shortcomings. Metal does not bond well to teeth, so decay can and does eventually leak into the tooth. But the biggest reason many of our patients are choosing the white bonded fillings has to do with the way they look. Many people just don’t want an ugly black plug in their teeth. We offer modern, state-of-the-art restorations that are a natural-looking white, contain no metals, and can actually strengthen your teeth. They also bond very tightly with the healthy part of the tooth so there is much less chance of decay in the future.

Sedation Dentist Purcellville VA

Sedation Dentistry
Purcellville VA
Dental Care in a Relaxing Environment



Even though we take great pride in being able to deliver painless injections, some people are naturally anxious at even the thought of a needle. If you or a loved one breaks into a cold sweat at the mention of the word “dentist,” we have a simple solution. One hour before your visit, you take a pill that we dispense to you. You will reach a level of sedation that allows you to respond to questions but will make you very sleepy and completely comfortable through your entire visit. Afterwards, you will have little to no memory of the experience. This is ideal for fearful people or those who have a busy schedule and want to get all their treatment done in one visit. With some cases, we offer nitrous oxide (laughing gas). We look forward to working with you to provide you with quality dental care in a comfortable, relaxed manner.
