Shane:
Shane is a teen swimmer who hit the swimming pool edge and cracked his two front teeth. With no anesthesia and no discomfort, we restored his two front teeth and his young adult confidence! Thoroughly (deep) cleaning his teeth, whitening and composite bonding were used to obtain this attractive result.
Testimonial: Written by child’s mother
"Recently, my 14-year-old son had cosmetic dental work completed at your facility. The experience was so positive; I felt it necessary to put it in writing.
After wearing braces for two years, and trying several over-the-counter whitening products, my son continued to be very self conscious and unhappy with the appearance of his teeth. When photos were taken he usually smiled with his lips closed. Even though his teeth were straight and he had routine cleaning visits, his teeth were stained, the overall color was uneven, and two of the upper front teeth had significant chips.
During the consultation meeting, my son was quite impressed with how he was treated “as an adult.” You and your staff were very considerate of his concerns and sought his input on the outcome he wished to achieve. While the work was being completed, your gentle and friendly staff alleviated my son’s anxiety. The virtual movie helped too.
The results were outstanding! Having a great smile does a lot to boost a teenager’s confidence. As a mom, it brings me great pleasure to see my son flash his handsome smile. Thank you for your expertise and for providing such a positive experience. Feel free to show before and after photos to other patients who wish to see similar results.
Sincerely,
Laura
Veneers
Kathy:
Kathy had bonded veneers on her two front teeth years ago that became discolored and chipped. Additionally, the width and sizes of these two teeth were different due to her original bite. Through orthodontics we moved her teeth with Invisalign for six months, did a minor laser procedure on her gums, and placed two new conservative (minimal preparation) veneers.
 
Veneers and Invisalign
Nancy:
Nancy was not a candidate for major orthodontic treatment. However, with Invisalign we corrected the lower crowding issue and straightened her teeth, and then addressed her anterior (front) bite issues with veneers.

Leah:
Leah started her treatment with Clarendon Dental Arts as an emergency patient. In addition, Leah avoided dental care due to previous negative experiences, which were addressed and overcome thanks to our caring staff. Leah gradually obtained renewed oral health in her gum tissues and teeth.
We replaced aged, broken, silver fillings with composite, natural colored fillings and crowns where needed.

Testimonial:
"Feel free to cite my experience; as you know, I’m a very happy patient, both with the outstanding impact on my smile, and the amazing service and support your team provided during my treatment. It was the comprehensiveness of my initial visit to your practice, plus your great way of making options and choices easy to understand, that convinced me to undergo Invisalign treatment.
Less than two months after starting the treatment, I learned that my family would be moving to North Carolina. I cannot express my appreciation for how flexible you and the entire team have been about fitting my ongoing treatment into an irregular travel schedule that brought me back to Northern Virginia on short notice and with many last minute changes. I know I must have been THE problem patient of 2006-2007 when it came to schedule changes, but everyone in the office always treated me as if it were the most natural thing in the world. When we moved, I expected to switch orthodontists to our new location; I’m so glad that I didn’t!
While I probably wouldn’t have gotten braces for cosmetic correction alone, I have to admit that I’m delighted with the improved smile. I was 46 years old before anyone commented on my having a nice smile (of course, I was 46 before I had a nice smile); I’m embarrassed to admit how good that felt!
I’m really glad to have a chance to thank you and the whole team for such a great experience.
Sincerely,
Your Tar Heel Patient

Dear Danine,
I don’t really know how to begin to thank you. I know I can never be able to put into words what your skill, patience, understanding, and simple kindness has done for me – well beyond your dental services. Those services were perfect. Everyone, from your front office to the dental hygienist and dental assistants to you have been unfailingly professional yet very personally understanding, supportive, and appropriately humorous at just the right times. You have every right to be proud of each and every one of them, and of the practice you have built. It is surprising for me to realize it has been almost over two years since you started to completely correct all my teeth. For the first time in my memory, nothing hurts! I actually smile, and sometimes realize it, too. Over that long period of time, you have had this uncanny ability to know just when to push forward with the work, and when to slow down because I psychologically needed it. You also were wonderful in taking the time to explain what we needed to do, what to expect, and when things came up that needed to be handled differently. And your personal standard of excellence is obvious and on display for us to see at all times. In the end, all I can say is thank you.
Gratefully,
Frank
I certainly have the utmost respect for you and your team. You were absolutely amazing in reconstructing my mouth by removing all those horrible and unsightly amalgam fillings and by fitting me with amazing crowns. I love my smile and I am so grateful to you and your staff. You are kind, patient, sincere, and willing to do what is best for the patient and not your wallet. I will continue to recommend you to my friends and others as necessary.
Most sincerely,
Kay
Danine,
I realize how unbelievable it may seem when I say I look forward to going to my dentist, but after years of the care I’ve gotten from Dr. Fresch and her team at Clarendon Dental Arts, it is true. The dental treatment I’ve gotten there has exceeded any expectations I ever had. We started with a good assessment of my needs which Dr. Fresch used to come up with a detailed, cost efficient and well communicated plan I could ponder. From that, I was able to make well-informed decisions about my desire and plan for moving forward – no pressure and, in my case, with lots of options. The result? I’m happy – I have a really healthy mouth with absolutely no trepidation around showing my smile to the world. And I unequivocally recommend Clarendon Dental Arts to all. I confidently give Dr. Fresch and her team five gold stars.

My dental experience with Dr. Fresch Gray has just been the opposite of what the general public thinks about going to the dentist… I do not dread the appointments, I am not worried about the pain, in fact, I usually get in a nap!... that is how comfortable she makes you feel. Her knowledge, advice, and skills are absolutely the finest. I needed a ton of work and spent many hours in “the chair”… it has been such a relief and I come away knowing I now have a healthy mouth! She has taught me how to take care of my teeth and gums. I have come to the point where I don’t “put off” making those appointments, in fact, I want to make sure I don’t miss them… I want to keep my dental health and Danine is the best at helping me do that. She is so smart, capable, and nice. She also has tiny, gentle hands. I just love her and am so fortunate that she is my dentist.
Karen
I was referred to Dr. Fresch by a friend in the dental community, at the time when I had a significant problem brought about the inattention of another dentist. The problem was significant, and had the potential to be even worse. Dr Fresch, in collaboration with an endodontist and a periodontist, developed a treatment regimen that was very involved, and necessitated complex work – as well as close coordination with the other dental health practitioners. The treatment process took lots of time from beginning to end, to remedy the problem. My case still involves close monitoring and regular maintenanaceas part of an ongoing regimen. In the end, Dr. Fresch’s overall efforts made a difference, and were successful. Her work on me certainly prevented what could have been a worse case. In the four-plus years that I have now been going to Dr. Fresch, I have found her to be very focused on her work and very thorough in her treatments. In fact, I have recommended her to a couple friends – and would do so again
