Orthodontics:
Go Ahead, Smile! Show Your Beautiful Straight Teeth!

Trust Your Smile to Our In-House Orthodontist!

At Village Dental Group, we’re all about professionalism. We are one of the only 3% of general dental practices that have our own licensed Orthodontist on staff to provide you top-quality orthodontic treatment. 

Having straight, even teeth is more than just aesthetics. Sometimes teeth are not in the right positions for optimal health. The ultimate purpose of orthodontics is to move teeth to a place where everything is healthy. But, there is also an important psychological advantage. For some, a beautiful, even smile can play a significant role in a person’s self-confidence and willingness to engage in social situations.

Our Orthodontist has years of experience, successfuly treating thousands of cases. He will be able to properly assess your individual case and recommend the best solutions to handle chewing and alignment difficulties, or to simply transform your smile into a look you love!

This is a WONDERFUL dental office! I went for an Orthodontist consultation with Dr. Copeland after having been to a different Orthodontist who told me that I needed corrective jaw surgery to fix my teeth. Dr. Copeland assured me it wasn’t necessary and laid out a plan for me to get my teeth fixed — surgery free! He was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about his work and caring for his patients. I would HIGHLY recommend Village Dental to anyone looking for Orthodontist help or any dental needs!

The Many Benefits of Orthodontics

Getting your teeth properly aligned is more than just a matter of aesthetics. Teeth that are not coming in properly, or a bite that doesn’t fully close can cause problems down the road. It’s important to see the Orthodontist early in life, as problems are generally easier and faster to treat at a younger age.

    Meet Dr. Garrison Copeland, Our In-House Orthodontist

    Dr. Copeland believes that self-confidence and a beautiful smile go hand in hand. His career goal is to continue to bring light to people’s lives through their smiles.

    Growing up in Cleveland, OH with severely misaligned teeth, Dr. Copeland understood at an early age the significance of having a healthy and aesthetic smile. Determined to help others facing similar circumstances, he pursued a career in Orthodontics.

    Dr. Copeland earned his Bachelor’s degree at Morehouse College, his Doctorate of Dental Surgery at Howard University, and his post-graduate orthodontic training at Case Western Reserve University. For the next seven years, he practiced orthodontics in his hometown, helping more than 3,000 patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles.

    In 2018, Dr. Copeland chose to continue his training at BronxCare Health Systems, where he focused on Cosmetic Dentistry and Implants, and was named Chief Resident.

    Advanced X-Rays Allow Accurate Assessment

    Our orthodontist will take a special x-ray (called a cephalometric x-ray), along with impressions and photographs. Together, these are used to decide which orthodontic treatment is best suited to your case — aligners or traditional braces.

    Don’t like the look of metal braces?  We offer options, such as Clear Braces.

    Straighten Your Teeth — Invisibly!

    Straighten Your Teeth with Clear, Removable Aligners

    Invisalign® and Invisalign Teen® are each an invisible, removable, and comfortable aligner system that will give you the beautiful straight teeth you’ve always wanted. And best of all, no one can tell you’re wearing them, making Invisalign perfect for adults and teenagers. Aligners are made from BPA-free plastic and will not irritate your cheeks or gums as traditional braces can.

    Advantages of Clear Aligners:

    • Straighten your teeth without the look and feel of traditional braces.
    • NO metal wires or brackets.
    • Proven effective in clinical research and in orthodontic practices nationwide.

    Our Patients Share the Love!

    I’ve had a lot of surgery done at Village Dental. I had implants done; I’ve had a lot of issues with my mouth due to family history and Dr. Christian is very caring. She’s very personal and it really helps when dealing with the challenges I have with my mouth. Putting your heart into it and being personalized also helps people recover from what they’re going through.

    —M. Frederick

    It’s a blessing to have found such a fantastic dental practice — not only are they excellent doctors, and dental hygienists — but also the staff are welcoming, and the atmosphere makes you feel at ease. I’ve never had such a good experience at the dentist before. Do yourself a kindness and book an appointment with Village Dental!
