Stephan Tisseront, DDS MS

I feel very fortunate to have found a profession as rewarding as the field of Orthodontics!  For over ten years, I have enjoyed creating custom, beautiful smiles for our family of patients all over the Northern Virginia area.  You can even find some of our loyal patients across the country and abroad!  Getting to know all of our patients and their families is immensely rewarding, and I have enjoyed creating lasting friendships with many families.  We consider all of our patients to be a part of the Tisseront Orthodontics family!
 
Orthodontics can change a person's life by boosting confidence and self-esteem. I see evidence of this every day and it truly is a fulfilling experience for our whole team.  A great smile is one of the first things people notice, and when we see patients who can't stop showing off their new smiles, it lets us know we have done our job!  
 

Education

  After attending the University of Paris VII School of Dentistry in Paris, France for both my undergraduate education and my Doctorate of Dental Surgery degree, I continued on to the prestigious Orthodontic Program at Oregon Health Sciences University’s School of Dentistry in Portland, Oregon.  During this three year comprehensive Orthodontic Graduate Program, I earned my Master of Science Degree in Orthodontics. 
I participate in regular continuing education to keep abreast of the latest techniques in orthodontics available today. My bio-mechanics background coupled with my passion for orthodontics is a winning combination for all of my patients. Participating in classes and seminars ensures that I stay current with all of the latest trends in orthodontics to pass on to my patients!

Experience

 
I enjoy following regular continuing education courses to help keep myself and my Team abreast of the latest techniques in Orthodontics available today.   Whatever your personal Orthodontic needs may be for you or your family, I pledge to deliver an exceptional, beautiful smile..
Experience
My experience includes 13 years of private Orthodontic practice in and around Reston.  I specialize in both Children and Adult Orthodontics, and have worked with Lingual (behind the teeth) braces since I started practicing in 1998.    Being the sole Premier Provider in Fairfax County of the Incognito™ custom lingual braces system as well as a member of an exclusive group of  Incognito™ users, I am frequently invited to corporate 3M headquarters to attend extended meetings to aid in the development of this great product for patients across the country.

Office Life

Our goal as a practice is to be the very best part of each patient's day.  When a patient walks through our door, the fun begins! We have contests, fun prizes, and an Annual Patient Pool Party.  Our team members all have a genuine love for what they do, and each plays a special role to help make our patients feel right at home.  From our Front Desk Coordinator to our Clinical Patient Managers, my team is dedicated to providing you exceptional, state-of-the art patient care.
 
As an office, we are strongly committed to supporting the community in which we live.  Each year, we enjoy visiting local elementary schools to teach students the importance of excellent dental health along with our mascot, Freddy Flossasaurus!   Our Annual Halloween Candy Buy-Back Event benefits Children's National Medical Center in DC as well as our Troops abroad, and proves to be a very popular event within the community.
 

Outside the Office

A native of Paris, France, I have been living in the Reston area since 1998 with my lovely wife and Office Manager, Astrid, and our two sons, Arthur and Alex.  As a family, we love to swim in the Reston pools, ride our bikes, play tennis, and all enjoy auto racing.
