Services
We offer superior family dentistry services to the Norfolk, VA area including preventative care, pediatric dentistry, emergency visits, and cavities and fillings. Preventive care focuses on practices that help patients avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear and enamel loss, tooth loss and other dental problems.
Dental emergencies can happen, and often do when you least expect them. You can crack a tooth by biting into a sandwich, for example, or you can lose a filling right before giving an important speech. Emergency visits are necessary for dental problems that are painful, cause swelling or fever, involve a broken, missing or cracked tooth, or that cause bleeding in the tongue or lips.
Leisure Dental offers pediatric dentistry, which is a branch of dental care specially designed for children, from infancy through teen years. Pediatric dentistry focuses on addressing the special dental problems kids face - such as cavities - and help prepare their young patients for a lifetime of good oral health and great smiles.
Preventive care focuses on practices that help patients avoid cavities, gum disease, enamel wear and enamel loss, tooth loss and other dental problems. These practices include brushing, flossing and regular trips to the dentist. Preventive care is beneficial at any age, but it is particularly beneficial for children because it helps emerging teeth come in strong and healthy.
Invisalign is an alternative to traditional orthodontic braces that feature metal brackets and wires. Invisalign is a teeth-straightening system that uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic trays. Each tray pushes your teeth slightly closer to their optimal position in your mouth. You wear each clear aligner tray for a certain amount of time before progressing to the next tray.

Absolutely wonderful dental office whenever you are in extreme physical pain. I had an infected tooth and no matter what the doctor tried to do to save it, it was not salvageable but I am no longer in pain I can say thank God!!!! however make sure that you are on time to your appointment and it really doesn’t matter if you call and tell them that you’re having issues with traffic and construction on the road because they only have a 10 minute grace. So if you arrive 15 minutes late you’re gonna have to reschedule so here’s to another two months for my dental cleaning!!!!!!YAY!!!

They have taken care of me from start to finish. I was in severe tooth pain and called to make an appt which like many offices the appt was a way out. They immediately prescribed me medication to relieve my tooth pain. On my appt day I was nervous and didn’t know what to expect. But Dr. Haggerty and his team made me feel comfortable. I got three teeth removed and it doesn’t even feel like it. I felt absolutely no pain in the two week since. Which I am very grateful for

I first had my wisdom teeth pulled over 10 years ago and because of that experience from another Oral Surgeon I never went back to have the other Wisdom teeth removed. But let me just say about an hour ago I had a WONDERFUL experience with the extraction of my top wisdom tooth. There was ZERO pain or even discomfort. Also the tooth was taken out in whole vs being drilled to pieces and vacuumed out like my prior experiences ( again at another Dentist). Dr. Haggerty did outstanding with my oral surgery!! 11stars ⭐️

Doctor H and his staff are amazing <3 they're on top of covid safety protocols having customers wash their hands upon entering the building. The atmosphere is relaxed and calming but professional. The receptionists and nurses are very nice and friendly. Dr H is kind and professional. The whole vibe is very down to earth. By far the best dental experience I've had. It is a Christian based dentist so if that's not your thing....go anyway because the care is exceptional. 5 stars!

I originally made an appointment back in December for their soonest appointment which ended up being at the end of January however the day of my appointment the front desk called me to inform me that the dentist was having a family emergency. I understand things happen so I rescheduled and the soonest they could get me in was end of February. Today is the day of my appointment and I get a call from the front desk again mentioning that the dentist is having family emergency again and wanted me to come in earlier or reschedule. It's extremely unprofessional to consistently reschedule on patients

I made an appt with this dental office and when I arrived There was no receptionist in the office. They did however have a sign on the door saying to call a number to check in. I go back to my car and I wait for the dental assistant to come grab me from my car and as I am waiting I see a man lock the dental office door( I assume that was the dentist). My appointment was at 4:30 and I was told to get there 15 minutes early. I waited for a total of an hour and I wasn't contacted even though the person I spoke to you on the phone said that they were on the way. The office looks as if everyone
