We say it all the time. The thing that makes Southside Orthodontics so special is our incredible team! They are experts in their field and are fiercely dedicated to giving every patient an exceptional orthodontic experience.

Some of our team members have been in dentistry for over 30 years! That’s the sort of time-proven experience you can’t teach.

Our team values positivity and friendliness, and our patients can feel it! The moment they walk into our door, our patients are greeted with warmth from everyone they meet.

The Southside Orthodontics team are truly some of the best people that we know — in or outside of work. We know that you’re going to love them!

A Virginia native and former mining engineer, Dr. Shell has a deep understanding of the region and its people. His experience as a former engineer prepared him well for the skill and attention to detail that makes him an excellent orthodontist. He loves being able to provide his community and neighbors with superior orthodontic care. If you ask him, Dr. Shell will tell you that he has never once looked back on his decision to swap a career in mining engineering for the engineering of smiles.
