Dr. DeArment knew he wanted to become a dentist from an early age. He remembers telling classmates as early as the second grade that he wanted to be a dentist when he grew up, despite having no family members in the dental profession. He knew he wanted to work directly with people, helping them to become more confident while doing something that involved artistry and problem solving. He decided orthodontics was his calling while working at a summer job, while in college and dental school, at the same office that he now owns! Dr. DeArment grew up locally and attended John Handley High School. He played football and baseball and was a member of the Judges first state championship football team in 1984. He went on to graduate from the University of Richmond with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and was inducted into the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa honor society. He then received his dental degree from Virginia Commonwealth University while finishing at the top of the class. He completed his orthodontic residency program at the University of Louisville, which is recognized as one of the top clinical training programs in the country. He then returned to Winchester and began practicing in 1996. He purchased the practice of Dr. John Goodloe and established Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics in 2006. Dr. DeArment was one of the first groups of orthodontists in the nation to become Invisalign certified in 2000. He has since completed extensive additional training in Invisalign aligner treatment. Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics is one of the top providers of orthodontic treatment in Virginia, as well as the entire United States. Dr. DeArment and Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics have been designated as a Top 1% Invisalign Provider in North America. He has also received certification for laser treatment of soft tissue issues. Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics is perennially recognized by voters as the Best Orthodontic Practice in the Shenandoah Valley by Virginia Living magazine, the Winchester Star and the Northern Virginia Daily newspapers. Dr. DeArment is devoted to adaptation, advancement and self-improvement by engaging in many forms of continuous education learning, including in-person and online advanced courses in orthodontic techniques and practice management, in-person and online dental study groups, orthodontic social media groups, and being dedicated to perpetual learning by listening to podcasts and reading dental/orthodontic journals and professional publications. He takes pride in being very detail-oriented while having a unique ability to break down complex ideas and concepts into very understandable terms for patients of all ages to understand. His great sense of humor and engaging personality allow him to put even the most anxious patients at ease. He is passionate about pleasing his patients and ensuring they achieve the most beautiful smile possible while also improving their self-esteem and confidence. He seeks to establish a relationship with every individual patient, in addition to providing an unexpected level of service and results. Dr. DeArment is proud to be a member of the American Dental Association and the American Association of Orthodontists, as well as various regional and state dental and orthodontic associations. He is a past president of the Virginia Association of Orthodontists. For those to whom much is given, much is expected, is a verse from the book of Luke that Dr. DeArment feels particularly compelled to live by. Giving back to the community and volunteerism is especially important to him. This includes the support of local non-profits, his church, schools, recreational sports teams and causes that assist the health, education and financial stability of disadvantaged neighbors. He has served on various committees and fundraising campaigns at Braddock Street United Methodist Church. He is a past president of the Handley Judges Athletic Association (JAA) and a founding member and the first president of the Winchester Education Foundation (WEF). He was awarded Rookie of the Year by the United Way of the Northern Shenandoah Valley. He is currently serving as the chairman of the annual fundraising campaign for the United Way of the Northern Shenandoah Valley, and he is also vice-chair of its board of directors. He met his wife, Nancy, in dental school. She is a general dentist in Winchester. Together, they have four daughters, Olivia, Natalie, AnneElyse and Audrey. Dr. DeArment believes that a body in motion stays in motion, and he tries to stay as active as he can by enjoying fitness training, biking, tennis, skiing, working outside, painting, traveling and attending sports events. He enjoys any activity that involves spending quality time with family. He is an avid Pittsburgh Steelers and Pittsburgh Penguins fan, and he also roots for his daughters college teams (Penn State, University of South Carolina and Wake Forest).

As a former patient of Dr. DeArment as a kid, I knew exactly where to go when I was told my son needed braces. Upon our first visit we were greeted with a warm welcome by their amazing staff. All of my questions were thoroughly answered and they gave me a clear plan for his teeth. They made the entire process so easy. I would hands down recommend anyone looking for orthodontic care to Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics.

I was a patient of Dr. DeArment 16 years ago. So when my son need to see an orthodontist I decided to come back. Yesterday was our first appointment and I could not be more pleased. Everyone in the office was kind and friendly just as I remember when I was a kid 16 years ago. They are in a new office which is very patient friendly, nice and very clean. I had lots of questions and they were all answered so that I understood more clearly. My son was so nervous but they made him feel so comfortable and now he is not as nervous to get braces. I would recommend Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics to anyone who is looking for orthodontic care.

All the staff at Shenandoah Valley Orthodontics have been amazing! I had braces as a child, and now, in my 30s, needed invisalign because my bottom teeth had become over crowded. I was very nervous about the process and had tons of questions. Getting Invisalign was practically painless with the help of all the staff there! I could email or call anytime and they would always be more than willing to answer all my questions. The price I paid for my Invisalign was also the lowest out of all the many places I went for consultations. The consultation was free and very in-depth and detailed as they went through every part of the process with me, which was awesome and helped me to understand everything that was going to happen. Every single one of their staff members are cheerful, so sweet, and always smiling! I have never been to a place with better customer service! I would recommend them to absolutely anyone looking to improve their smile!

To start off, we love Shenandoah Valley Orthodontist. I'm one of six kids and three of us got braces there. We were all terrified of braces, but now we're so excited to have straight teeth! Everyone is so professional and hygienic too. My whole family will come in for appointments and we literally have to drag my little brother out because he loves it there so much. Also, my mom actually gets excited about going because the receptionists are so lovely. And because they have a Keurig Basically, everybody should go to Shenandoah Valley Orthodontist.
