Cleanings & Check-Ups
Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are vital to maintaining good oral health. For most people, 2 check-ups per year are sufficient.
Regular visits allow us to monitor your health and watch for early signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, or other dental problems.
Your routine visits will include a thorough examination, professional cleaning, and in some cases, X-rays.
Panoramic Digital X-rays
Routine x-rays are an important part of your diagnostic and preventative dental care. At Hale Family Dentistry, we use panoramic x-ray - a two-dimensional (2-D) dental x-ray examination that captures the entire mouth in a single image, including the teeth, upper and lower jaws, and surrounding structures and tissues. Panoramic x-rays cover a wider area than traditional x-ray and allows us to get important information about tooth positioning, gum or bone irregularities, and the nasal and sinus area. They can also reveal existing issues or help us identify potential problems, such as:
- advanced periodontal disease
- oral cysts
- tumors & oral cancer
- impacted teeth
- temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJ)
- sinusitis
Fillings & Bondings
We all know tooth decay and cavities can be painful but it can also lead to worse infections if not treated properly. The good news is that tooth decay is also the most preventable disease in the world today.
At Hale Family Dentistry, we use the latest technology to diagnose, treat and prevent tooth decay. We also strive to educate our patients on proper dental hygiene so that they can help themselves in preventing decay. We are a mercury-free dental practice, so working to replace any mercury containing fillings of our patients is important to us.
Porcelain Crowns & Veneers
Hale Family Dentistry uses the latest technology to ensure your experience getting crowns or veneers is fast, easy, and painless! Our advanced CEREC system means we can take care of your esthetic crowns or partial crowns in as little as a single visit! This technology means you experience no unpleasant impression material and no bothersome temporary prosthesis. Here's how it works:
- After the consultation, a camera captures the area to be treated.
- The dental prosthesis is created as a 3D model on the computer.
- Using our advanced technology, the restoration created on the computer is milled from a ceramic block.
- The finished ceramic restoration is then inserted.
When an in-office crown is not an option, we also offer full gold or lab-created porcelain and zirconia crowns and bridges.

Dentures & Implants
If you are in need of dentures in the Orange, VA area, Hale Family Dentistry can help! Modern dentures not only look and feel much more real than in years past, but are often much more comfortable. Partial dentures can be a less invasive alternative to surgical implants if an accident results in missing teeth.
We offer full and partial dentures, including implant retained dentures (dentures that are supported by and attached to implants for stability). We also restore single tooth implants and implant bridges.
Teeth Whitening
We make it fun, easy and affordable to achieve that gorgeous smile of your dreams. There are plenty of options when it comes to whitening or "bleaching" your teeth with modern dentistry techniques.
Many patients prefer an in-office "power" bleach as these are the quickest way to whiter shades of teeth. We also offer "bleaching" trays which are custom fitted to your teeth and gum lines. Both of these methods will allow for a more sustainable white smile as opposed to over the counter options such as whitening toothpastes, strips, gels or rinses.
