Committed To Providing High-Quality Orthodontics

For the Southside Orthodontic team, quality is not just a standard; it is our entire philosophy. Quality orthodontic care means giving each patient the excellent results they deserve without shortcuts. Quality care means treating each patient with respect, compassion, and kindness. We are in the business of creating beautiful smiles, but our passion is truly caring for people.

Our patients and team are like one big family, which makes sense in a tight-knit community like Colonial Heights. We love our community, and getting to care for our friends and neighbors is our great privilege. Southside Orthodontics offers our patients the familiarity of a small-town feel while giving them the most advanced orthodontic treatment available today.

Southside Orthodontics proudly offers orthodontic care for patients of all ages. Today's orthodontics are as much for adults as they are for children and teenagers. You're never too old for the smile of your dreams! We've helped many children get a confident smile through braces or Invisalign, but we offer great options for adults, too. Southside Orthodontics can create amazing smiles for your entire family! 

We offer several treatment options, from traditional braces to gold or clear braces to Invisalign clear aligners. We’ll help you choose what’s best for you!

A Virginia native and former mining engineer, Dr. Shell has a deep understanding of the region and its people. His engineering experience prepared him well for the skill and attention to detail needed to make an excellent orthodontist. He loves being able to create amazing smiles for neighbors and his community! Dr. Shell traded a career in mining engineering for one in which he engineers beautiful smiles, and he's never looked back!
