Our Office
What Sets Us Apart
Cosmetic Pediatric Restorations
When children experience cavities or dental damage, we provide natural-looking restorative solutions that protect their oral health while maintaining the appearance of their smile. Our treatment approach is gentle, conservative, and designed to help children feel comfortable throughout the process while restoring healthy function and confidence.
Laser-Assisted Frenectomy
Our office offers advanced laser technology for tongue-tie and lip-tie treatment, helping improve feeding, speech development, oral function, and comfort for infants and children. Laser-assisted frenectomies are precise, minimally invasive, and designed to support faster healing with a more comfortable experience for young patients.
Safe Sedation Dentistry
We understand that some children need additional support to feel relaxed during treatment. Our safe sedation options are carefully tailored to each child’s needs, allowing families to feel more at ease while helping children receive the care they need in a calm and supportive setting.

Meet THE Doctor
Dr. Natalie Datien
Dr. Natalie Datien brings a warm, compassionate approach to pediatric dentistry and loves helping children feel proud of their smiles. A graduate of the University of Detroit Mercy and former Chief Resident at MetroHealth Hospital, she has extensive experience caring for children of all ages, including those with special healthcare needs.
Coming from a family of dentists and raising three children of her own, Dr. Datien combines professional expertise with a genuine understanding of what parents want most—a dental home where their children feel safe, supported, and excited to return.
Creating Positive Experiences That Last
We Believe In Happy Visits
A child’s early dental experiences can shape how they feel about oral health for years to come. That is why we take a gentle, patient-centered approach that prioritizes comfort, encouragement, and trust. From a friendly greeting at the front desk to calm guidance during treatment, every part of the visit is designed to help children feel relaxed and supported. We celebrate small victories, move at a pace that works for each child, and create an atmosphere where smiles come naturally.
Personalized Care For Every Child
We Believe In Child-Centered Care
No two children are exactly alike, and their dental care should reflect that. At First Smiles of Virginia, we tailor each visit around your child’s age, personality, comfort level, and oral health needs. Whether your child is visiting for their first infant exam or needs more advanced treatment, our team takes time to explain care clearly, answer questions, and build positive relationships with both children and parents. We believe compassionate care and open communication help families feel confident every step of the way.
