Welcome from Dr. McIntire
After more than 30 years in practice, I am even more passionate about the benefits that good dental care can have on your quality of life. Advantages brought about by innovative technology, superior pain control, and beautiful cosmetic advances make dentistry more exciting than ever. I am committed to ongoing education and training to ensure that I am up-to-date on the most recent research and techniques available. My most recent training has included dental implantology; treatment and rehabilitation of TMJ/TMD; and Invisalign.
What hasn’t changed over the years, however, is the value of the one-on-one relationship between doctor and patient. I will, along with my terrific dental team, work to gain your trust. It is my highest priority to make dental experiences as pain-free and anxiety-free as possible.
We look forward to treating you!
Preventive Dentistry
Emerging knowledge on the link between dental health and systemic health has made preventive and diagnostic care of primary importance.
The basis of dental health remains the periodic cleaning of your teeth. Janice Stewart, our dental hygienist and Dr. McIntire have a 25 year association. Janice is one of the most experienced and conscientious dental hygienists in Northern Virginia. Your oral and periodontal health is in good hands. Digital X-ray has also been added to our diagnostic capabilities.
Preventive Dentistry for Kids
Children need periodic exams and cleanings to get their primary teeth off to a great start. We find that children who start dental visits early grow into confident dental patients who never have dental anxieties. They enjoy coming to our office.
Sealants
Sealants help to get children’s first permanent molars off to a great start. Sealants prevent decay in areas most prone to decay.
Topical Fluoride
We complete a child’s exam and cleaning appointment with topical fluoride—a proven cavity prevention technique.
We look forward to treating you!
Cosmetic Dentistry
The art and science of cosmetic dentistry allows for great possibilities. You can achieve the smile you want with these proven services.
Cosmetic Bleaching
Let’s face it, almost everyone looks better with whiter teeth. Today’s dental bleaching products are more effective, cause less sensitivity, and have proven to be safe. We use whitening products from Discus Dental, the makers of Zoom! and the leaders in the field. Let us tell you about in-office procedures for instant whitening results. We also provide take-home bleaching for greater flexibility.
In-Office Whitening
This is a two-step procedure. Each appointment is approximately 45 minutes in length. The first gives you an instant burst of brightness, and the second a whiter and longer-lasting result.
At-Home Whitening
This is recommended for most people. The fabrication of soft, thin, custom-fitting trays allows you to use bleaching gel at home at your convenience. The trays are long-lasting, allowing you to maintain your white teeth indefinitely.
Tooth-Colored Crowns & Fillings
Never before has the restoration of teeth been more beautiful. Exciting new technology allows us to make non-metal crowns that are incredibly strong and life-like at the same time.
White fillings continue to evolve and are now more durable than ever before. Discuss your options with Dr. McIntire at your next visit!
Veneers
This technology represents the pinnacle of cosmetic dentistry. We can conservatively alter crooked, broken, or unattractive teeth with beautiful lustrous veneers.
Invisalign® Invisible Braces
Have you been putting off straightening your teeth because you don't have two years to spend in metal braces? Ask Dr. McIntire about Invisalign aligner therapy!
Invisalign uses a carefully-planned series of custom plastic aligners to gently reposition your teeth. Just pop in a new aligner every couple of weeks and before you know it, you'll be showing off a dramatically straighter smile! The aligners are made out of a smooth plastic material that's comfortable against your cheeks and lips, and unlike traditional braces, the aligners can be removed while you eat, brush, and floss as you normally would. Invisalign gives you the amazing results of metal braces with none of the discomfort or inconvenience.

Restorative Dentistry
Crowns
Crowns are used to strengthen teeth compromised by wear, cracks, and large fillings. Crown technology has improved to now offer more attractive and wear-resistant choices. This gives our Arlington dental team more flexibility in planning for different circumstances.
Bridges
Bridges replace missing teeth by attaching to your strong existing teeth. Like crowns, newer choices add to greater possibilities.
Dental Implants
This remarkable technology allows us to replace missing teeth in new ways. Implants can replace a single missing tooth or multiple teeth. They can also be used under dentures to secure them tightly.
Root Canal Therapy
Root canal therapy allows us to save severely decayed and painful teeth. Root canal therapy has become a mostly painless procedure.
Dentures
Dr. McIntire has extensive experience with partial and complete dentures. The possibility of using implants to help anchor dentures has helped many patients have more stable dentures.
Night Guard (Occlusal Guard)
Stress in our daily lives can often cause us to grind our teeth or clench our jaw, a habit that can lead to many undesirable symptoms. Headaches, neck pain, sensitive teeth, and exaggerated wear to teeth are some the the symptoms that can be relieved with a night guard.
Sleep Apnea & Snoring
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder that causes you to stop breathing during sleep. Serious health consequences are tied to OSA, including hypertension, strokes, and heart attacks.
If you snore or have been diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea, ask Dr. McIntire about the treatments we provide at our Arlington dental practice.
