MORE THAN JUST
A SMILE

Top orthodontic treatment is about much more than just straightening teeth. Did you know that properly aligned teeth are healthier teeth? When your teeth are in their proper alignment, it reduces the chance of decay and abnormal wear on the teeth. It also builds a strong foundation for your future oral health. Dr. Elena Black is passionate about giving her patients more than just straight teeth. Dr. Black has a Ph.D. in Oral Biology and has numerous years of education in how oral health mirrors the health of the whole body. She teaches at Boston University to educate the next generation of dentists on the importance and lifelong benefits of healthy smiles. Dr. Black is the only American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine Diplomate in the Lynchburg, VA area and is qualified to assess and treat patients with sleep conditions. Let’s get started!

Dr. Black is also a provider for Smiles Change Lives, an institution that provides access to orthodontic treatment for children of low-income families who cannot afford braces otherwise.

Don’t let the fear of pain stop you from living your life with a healthier, more aesthetically pleasing smile.

SMILE STORIES FROM OUR INCREDIBLE PATIENTS

Walking into Dr. Black’s orthodontic office is like walking into a place of close friends and family. Dr. Black, as well as her team, are genuinely concerned about not only your treatment, but you and your life in general. I can’t believe how good my teeth look now from doing treatment with her! I would definitely recommend anyone to go to her for their orthodontic needs.

Jamie A.

Dr. Black and her team are simply amazing! Dr. Black genuinely cares about her patients and her work. Every time I visit the office, everyone treats me like family! Even after moving to North Carolina, I still travel to AOL for my appointments because I cannot imagine going anywhere else! Dr. Black has been a great blessing to me! Thank you all!

Kristen E.

I was supposed to get braces when I was 12, but that got postponed until I was 24. I was very nervous about getting braces on as an adult, but I have truly loved being a part of the AOL family! I have only had my braces on for 4 months, but I can already tell a HUGE difference, and get complimented on my smile almost every day! I always brag on AOL and their wonderful staff for making this a truly enjoyable experience.

Krista C.

We cannot say enough about Dr. Black and her amazing staff! Our 11-year-old suffers from anxiety, and the fear of headgear and braces was tremendous. Dr. Black’s patience and kindness have been above anything we have ever experienced. The time she takes is unlike anything we have ever seen. She treats us like family instead of patients.
