Had an awesome experience with Ana and Dr. Mooney. Ana, the hygienist, was so sweet and calming when cleaning my teeth. Dr. Mooney was great as well. She walked through my x-rays and explained everything in a really understandable way. They even took time to walk through my insurance. 10/10 would recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

If you've chipped or broken a tooth, Clarendon Family Dentistry offers multiple solutions to restore its function and appearance.

For minor tooth chips and cracks:

Dental bonding can repair small chips in just one visit. We apply a tooth-colored composite resin to the damaged area, shape it to match your natural tooth, and then harden it with a special light. This affordable solution works well for front teeth and small defects.

For moderate tooth damage:

Dental veneers are thin porcelain shells custom-made to cover the front surface of damaged teeth. They're an excellent option for visible teeth with moderate chips or cracks and provide a natural-looking, long-lasting solution.
Dental inlays or onlays may be a solution for back teeth with moderate damage. These custom-made restorations are more extensive than fillings but less invasive than crowns.

For more severe tooth breaks or fractures:

Dental crowns are necessary when a significant portion of your tooth is damaged. These "caps" cover the entire visible portion of the tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength, and appearance.
Root canal therapy might be needed if the break extends into the tooth's pulp filled with nerves and blood vessels. After removing the infected pulp, we typically place a crown to protect the tooth.

Remember—even minor chips can worsen without treatment, so it’s always best to contact your cosmetic dentist in Arlington, VA, right away. Call Clarendon Family Dentistry so we can help you find the chipped tooth solution that fits your needs.

Yes. A correctly aligned bite protects your teeth and future dental work. When your bite is misaligned, your teeth work in ways they were not designed for, which can cause wear or damage and compromise dental restorations like bonding, veneers, or crowns.

That said, some dental treatments, like clear aligners with Invisalign®, can correct both the bite and tooth alignment during treatment. So, some procedures do achieve both goals.

Cosmetic Procedures at Clarendon Family Dentistry

When planning for cosmetic dentistry, Dr. Mooney works closely with you to personalize your treatment plan to meet your needs and also help you achieve your smile goals.

Some of the procedures she may recommend are:

Your treatment plan may include multiple procedures. Your clear understanding of your options is our goal. You'll leave your initial evaluation with Dr. Mooney with all the information needed to make the best decision for your smile, needs, budget, and lifestyle.
