Dr. Steven Hearne is a board-certified orthodontist in Suffolk, VA, with over 20 years of experience helping patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles. He earned his dental degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine and completed specialized training in orthodontics, allowing him to offer braces, Invisalign, and advanced treatments for bite problems and jaw joint issues. Dr. Hearne believes orthodontics is about much more than straight teeth—he focuses on creating balanced facial features, comfortable jaws, and healthy airways that support your overall wellness. His dedication to his community is reflected in his founding of the Smile for Christmas Essay Contest, through which he has donated over $50,000 in braces to families in need, and his regular support of local youth programs.
