Amador Family Dentistry: Maria Amador DDS - General dentist in Williamsburg, VA

A love for dentistry started at a very young age for Dr. Amador .Dr. Maria E. Amador graduated from high school with honors and went on to be in the top ten percent of her class in dental school receiving her Doctor in Dental Surgery from American University in Managua, Nicaragua. She completed a two-year post graduate General practice residency at Miami Valley Hospital, a level 1 Trauma center in Dayton, Ohio during which time she received extensive training in all dental specialties.

During her dental career she has served as a clinical lecturer in the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the University of Michigan, School of Dentistry. She has volunteered many hours of service to Dental Mobile clinics USC in Los Angeles, California, Give Kids a Smile in Fall River Massachusetts, and many dental missions from the United States.

Dr. Amador was born in Nicaragua and moved to the United States at the tender age of 2 years old and was raised in Asheboro, North Carolina. Her love for dentistry has provided her with the challenge for a lifetime of learning. She is an active member of several dental associations ie., American Dental Association, Virginia Dental Association, Tidewater Dental Association and the Hispanic Dental Association which have afforded her the opportunity to stay up to date in the latest innovations in dental technology and new techniques which she incorporates in her daily dental practice. She is certified in conscious sedation dentistry.

Dr. Amador is fluent in English, Spanish and Portuguese. She loves traveling, learning about different cultures and cuisines, reading, running, playing the violin, spending time with family and friends and playing with Dolce her Maltipoo.

At Amador Family Dentistry, we provide clear braces throughout the Williamsburg area. Straight teeth are important for your overall oral health. When teeth are crooked, they can become stained and infected more easily. By straightening teeth, we can improve your appearance and decrease the risk of getting cavities at the same time. We can also address issues that you may have with your jaw by aligning your bite. Clear braces are truly a comprehensive way and discreet way to address oral health concerns.

We understand that while many people want to have straighter teeth, many teens and adults are uncomfortable with the traditional metal braces on their teeth for more than one year. While they are not as discreet as people wish, metal braces are an effective tool for straightening teeth. The procedure works by placing a metal bracket onto the surface of each tooth and running a wire through those brackets. It is impossible not to notice when someone is wearing traditional metal braces. While the treatment works, it can also negatively impact a persons' appearance while doing so. This has led many people to seek out a better option, one that we provide.

At Amador Family Dentistry, we offer clear alternatives for adults and teens the greater Williamsburg area. We can straighten teeth and move them into the perfect position so the patient has a beautiful and radiant straight smile. If you have crooked teeth, unsightly gaps between your teeth or a misaligned bite, then we can help to correct these issues and more. Clear braces work just as effectively as metal braces but with some major improvements. Clear braces are much more difficult to notice, making them ideal for busy professionals, teens and those that do not want to negatively impact their current appearance during the process.

There are several types of clear and barely visible options to choose. One operates similarly to traditional metal braces where we place a bracket onto each tooth and thread a wire between the brackets. The difference is that instead of being made out of metal, the brackets for clear braces consists of a tooth-colored resin that blends in with the natural tooth. The wire is also tooth-colored so that the braces themselves are almost invisible and difficult to see. We find that this solution works well for teens and adults that are able to practice proper dental hygiene with the clear braces. Otherwise, food can stain the brackets. This solution is an excellent alternative to traditional braces and is just as effective at addressing all oral health concerns.

Clear braces also come in the form of aligners. Clear aligners look like a full retainer that surrounds the teeth and are worn on the upper and lower teeth. Aligners are more convenient to wear than metal braces since patients can remove them when necessary. One of the major concerns that people have with wearing braces is that they do not come off until the treatment is complete. If, for example, you get braces then decide to get married, you will either have braces in your wedding pictures or need to pay to remove them and reinstall them after. Simultaneously, if you have a big presentation at work and want to impress a client, your braces cannot come off for the meeting. This leaves many adults apprehensive about committing to a two-year treatment plan. We understand that appearance is important for more than vanity. It impacts your ability to create a professional image and retain your own self-image. As a Williamsburg provider of clear braces and aligners, we make it so that you do not have to compromise your appearance or lifestyle while straightening teeth; aligners are a key component of that.

We treat both teens and adults and understand that both can benefit from similar treatment options. While children may not be able to wear clear braces, teens can wear clear braces if they take proper care of them. The main difference between clear braces for teens and adult braces, is that teens may need to use their aligners for a longer period of time. With such a busy schedule, we expect teens to remove their aligners more frequently to do things like play sports.

Almost everyone understands the importance behind brushing your teeth and the role tooth enamel plays in maintaining dental health.However, many underestimate the unique quality that enamel has and dont have a complete understanding of how enamel works, which in return makes it far more difficult to take the necessary precautions to ensure they maintain healthy

Love love love! This is my first non pediatric dentist I've been too and proud to say I'll never leave! I've had my wisdom teeth since I was 13 years old and as a adult they caused me so much pain that I HAD to find help. That's when I came across Amador Family Dentistry, my first initial visit was friendly, kind, and professional. They gave me my exam and told me the next steps and informed me of everything that needs to be done to keep my smiling. On the dates of my procedure Dr. Amador was compassionate and made me feel safe with her! She checked in to see if I had any pain and made sure to get the job done as safe as possible! Her assistants are awesome as well! I forgot the one ladies name, but I know she mentioned she LOVES peanut butter! Me and her have had great conversations while getting my cleanings done! Shon is also the other assistant whom during my procedure made me feel safe and he also was very calm and collective and sought out the answers to my questions. Also the lady at front desk ALWAYS has a smile on her face and that's hard to find! I'm glad I've finally found a dental office I can say is a place I wouldn't mind spending some of my day in due to such pleasant vibes of the employees!

SUPER FRIENDLY AND SUPER PROFESSIONAL Went to TWO different dentist to see about getting a chipped wisdom tooth removed. They both denied me and said that I would need to consult with an Oral Surgeon and didn't help me! When I showed them my x-ray they didn't hesitate in saying "yeah, we can get it done." The process took two minutes! Amazing work, and amazing staff! Saved so much money with these folks!

The dentist was rude and disrespected me because I was pregnant and uncomfortable. She wasn't nice to me at all and kept freaking out at small things. Not very professional at all. New flash when your working in a dental setting you should have some bed side manor not acting like a child.

Not only was the entire office staff kind and professional, but Dr. Amador was wonderful! she was technically very skilled, but also sensitive to my own needs. my tooth extraction was so fast and easy---very nearly painless and certainly about as simple as I could possibly have hoped! Highly recommend--will never go to any other dentist!
