ORTHODONTIST

Eppard Orthodontics Holly Eppard DDS, MS

For orthodontist Dr. Holly Eppard, making clients feel welcome and comfortable while visiting her office reigns paramount. “It is important that we provide quality treatment in a family friendly atmosphere,” Eppard said. The waiting room has child appropriate video games that patients can play. Eppard has a reward program for patients who follow good oral hygiene and wear their Eppard Ortho tee shirts. They earn pogs, which are tokens to buy prizes on display in the waiting room. The wall of fame room is covered with signatures of people who finished their treatment. Most of the patients are children and teenagers, but many adults also may require adjustment of their teeth. Eppard treats people of all ages, ranging from ages 7 to 83. Teeth can shift throughout a lifetime. Retainers keep them in place. Once treatment is complete, retainers must be worn for life. Eppard Orthodontics is a fully digital office. They utilize the iTero intraoral scanner to safely scan the patient’s mouth and create a digital mold instead of goopy impressions that make patients uncomfortable. She has an in-office 3D printer used to make customized clear aligners and retainers. Eppard provides customized treatment options, including clear aligners, such as Invisalign, clear and metal braces. Dr. Eppard graduated from West Virginia University in 2012 with her masters of science in Orthodontics, Certificate in Orthodontics and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. She began practicing orthodontics with Dr. Robert Miller. In 2014, she purchased his Culpeper practice and established Eppard Orthodontics. The practice serves patients from Culpeper and surrounding areas, such as Rappahannock, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, Spotsylvania and Greene Counties. She and her amazing team of eleven employees focus on providing customer service and patient care. Orthodontists are specialists in straightening teeth and correcting alignment. This may require orthopedic devices for growing patients or jaw surgery for adult patients. Treatment time to correct orthodontic problems varies with each patient. It could be from months to years depending on the complexity of the problem. Eppard is dedicated to continuing education to learn new techniques and provide efficient procedures and ideal treatment outcomes for all patients. Eppard Orthodontics is committed to providing affordable treatments and flexible financing options to patients. People may have insurance with a dental plan, but coverage for orthodontics is often limited to a lifetime maximum. Eppard offers no interest payment plans. The staff help patients to find payment options within their budgets. Office hours are Monday through Thursday from 8:15 a.m.-5 p.m. An on-call assistant helps troubleshoot after hours orthodontic concerns. Dr. Eppard and her husband Scott live in Culpeper.
