- Dental ExaminationWisdom teeth frequently erupt at improper angles, which can damage surrounding tissue, disrupt the alignment of your smile, and cause considerable pain. Wisdom tooth removal can either be performed to treat an active issue or as a preventive measure. Through routine dental exams, our oral surgeons in Fairfax, VA, can assess the growth of your wisdom teeth and recommend removal before you experience pain or other oral health issues.
- X-raysOur dentists welcome new patients from all over the greater Fairfax, VA, area. Consultations are free for first-time guests of Fairfax Family Dental Care so we can get to know your smile before suggesting any treatment options. (Note: the use of dental X-rays and CBCT imaging during a visit may incur a fee.)
- Oral Cancer ScreeningDuring an oral cancer screening at our Fairfax, VA, dental office, your doctor examines the inside of your mouth to identify any signs of cancer or precancerous conditions. It is the first line of defense against a potentially fatal disease. The sooner cancer is detected, the better your chances are of fighting it.

- Fluoride TreatmentDental sealants and fluoride treatments can protect your teeth from cavities and tooth decay. Although typically recommended for children, dental sealants and fluoride treatments can benefit adults, as well. At Fairfax Family Dental Care in Fairfax, VA, we place great importance on preventive care and will do what we can to help you maintain your natural teeth for a lifetime.
- Dental SealantsDental sealants are thin, clear, plastic coatings that act as a shield against food particles and bacteria. They are most often used to protect the chewing surfaces of our molars and premolars. Because our molars have deep grooves that are difficult to keep clean with just a toothbrush, they are much more vulnerable to plaque buildup. By applying these thin, clear plastic coatings, you can significantly reduce the risk of tooth decay.
- FillingsComposite fillings use a natural-looking, tooth-colored material that is superior in appearance to silver or gold fillings. Since teeth are translucent, metal fillings can cause the whole tooth to appear darker when viewed from the side. Replacing metal fillings with white fillings will greatly improve the appearance of your smile.
- Resin CompositeComposite resin will bond with your dental tissue more securely than metal, effectively fortifying your damaged tooth.
- Gold RestorationsInlays are a more conservative option that involves the fabrication of a porcelain, resin, or gold restoration that fits within the cusps of the molars. Onlays cover more surface area than inlays and are also called partial crowns; they cover the indented surface of the molars, cap the cusps of the molars, and may extend down to cover a small portion of the crown of the tooth.

- Tooth ExtractionsTooth Extraction The dentists at Fairfax Family Dental Care always try to save a damaged tooth, but sometimes tooth extraction is needed. Our Fairfax, VA, practice uses gentle methods and calming sedation to make tooth extractions as stress-free and comfortable as possible. Experiencing jaw or tooth pain, even late at night or on a weekend? A tooth extraction by one of our skilled dentists can help bring relief.
- Ridge AugmentationThe jawbone will shrink and change shape in the prolonged absence of tooth roots. Eventually, the jaw will no longer be able to support dental implants. If you have been missing teeth for a long time, you may need a sinus lift or bone graft (also referred to as ridge augmentation) to restore your candidacy.
- Bone GraftingDuring your sinus lift, we offer sedation, so you can remain comfortable and calm. To access the underlying bone and tissues, we will create incisions in the gums. The sinus membrane is detached from the remaining bone and is lifted. The newly emptied space is then filled with bone grafting material, which will allow the sinus floor to regenerate. We will then close your incisions with dissolvable stitches.
- OrthodonticsEnamel shaping is often used after orthodontics to finalize and enhance results. It is not only beneficial aesthetically, but it can also improve oral health. When overcrowding is corrected and enamel smoothed, it reduces the risk of plaque buildup and cavities. If your teeth have discoloration, gaps, more severe chips, or thin enamel, a more substantial procedure may be substituted or used in combination with enamel shaping.
