Meet Dr. Jeff Beyer
Dr. Beyer grew up just outside Buffalo, New York and attended Penn State University for his B.S. degree in Physiology. After earning his DDS degree (Magna Cum Laude) in 1995 from the VCU School of Dentistry, he enrolled in the Orthodontic residency program at VCU and completed his training in 1997. He remained at VCU for an additional two years in the Department of Orthodontics as a full-time Assistant Professor where he directed the dental student orthodontic clinic, maintained a private practice, and trained the orthodontic residents.
In 1999, Dr. Beyer founded Commonwealth Orthodontics and maintains a full-time private practice in Midlothian and Colonial Heights. He was one of the very first Orthodontists to be trained in Invisalign and offer it in a private practice back in 1999, and he maintains active professional memberships in the American, Southern and Virginia Associations of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association (ADA). Dr. Beyer also had the honor and privilege of serving as President of the Medical College of Virginia Orthodontic Education and Research Foundation in 2005. Dr. Beyer and Commonwealth Orthodontics as been selected as a Best Orthodontist in Richmond by the Richmond Times-Dispatch for multiple years.
Outside of the office, you won’t find Dr. Beyer around town much, as he and his family enjoy traveling around the United States in their RV. If you are ever looking for advice as to where to travel, chances are he has been there (or at least somewhere close!). He also enjoys collecting pinball machines and arcade games — and he even has machines from his collection in both offices for patients to enjoy.
our difference
Simply. Better. Smiles. Our goal at Commonwealth Orthodontics is to provide the highest level of care in a caring, relaxed environment — whether we're working through Phase I orthodontics or getting ready to remove your clear braces. Orthodontic care is an investment in dental health that lasts a lifetime and we all strive to make our patient experience both pleasurable and rewarding.
We understand that you have choices when it comes to your orthodontic provider and we carefully consider each patient’s individual needs and expectations before developing a customized orthodontic plan. Here is how we create the unique experience we refer to as “Simply. Better. Smiles.”
Defining “Simply”
In summary, our goal is not to be the biggest or busiest orthodontic practice in the area. Our primary focus is on patient care and customer service. Please be assured that we will strive to exceed your expectations in these areas. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you!
We understand that you have choices when it comes to your orthodontic provider and we carefully consider each patient’s individual needs and expectations before developing a customized orthodontic plan. Here is how we create the unique experience we refer to as “Simply. Better. Smiles.”
Defining “Simply”
- We are a preferred provider for most all major insurance plans, and handle the filing of your claims electronically.
- Our fees are all inclusive, and we offer multiple payment plans (including low or no downpayment) to fit your budget.
- Our office values your time. We take pride in the fact that our patients are not kept waiting after their scheduled appointment time. We work closely with your General Dentist and any other specialists to ensure a successful treatment outcome in keeping with the scope of your overall dental health.
- We place a full set of braces or Invisalign usually in less than one hour.
- All x-rays are digital – with significantly less radiation and ease of transfer to other health professionals
- Dr. Beyer was trained at VCU School of Dentistry and served as an Assistant Professor of Orthodontics at VCU for 2 years.
- We were one of the first offices in the state to become Invisalign certified, and have been a Preferred Provider of Invisalign for teens and adults since its inception in 1999.
- We incorporate the use of 3-D scanning whenever possible to eliminate the need for traditional “impressions”
- We use the most technologically advanced materials in the industry — appliances are never “recycled,” and we maintain the highest infection control standards available.
- We use only smaller clear, silver or gold braces so they look and feel the best — no spacers or bands around the teeth.
- Placement and removal of all appliances is performed by the doctor.
In summary, our goal is not to be the biggest or busiest orthodontic practice in the area. Our primary focus is on patient care and customer service. Please be assured that we will strive to exceed your expectations in these areas. We look forward to the opportunity to serve you!
patient reviews
We're grateful to all our patients for sharing rantings and reviews through the years on Facebook and Google — whether we've served your family for years or we've been your military orthodontist. While we've shared a few below, you can find all our reviews and instructions for submitting your own reviews over Google and Facebook by clicking here.
Just love it!
"My children could not have asked for a better experience here! They were both so nervous getting their braces on and much to our surprise it didn't even phase them. Dr. Beyer and all of his staff were so sweet and thoughtful every time we had an appointment. My oldest got his braces off today and we couldn't be happier with the results. We just love it here!!"
Building confidence!
“I loved everything about our experience with this practice. The ENTIRE staff has always been friendly, gentle, and outgoing. The braces gave my daughter the beautiful smile she desired. The staff was an unexpected bonus. My daughter has been more confident since getting her braces on and hasn’t stopped smiling. Thank all of you for outstanding work and support!”
“We could not have been more pleased with Commonwealth Orthodontics! Dr. Byer & his staff made my daughter Caroline feel comfortable from the minute she walked in the door. Mary always greets us with a smile & was so accommodating when we had to reschedule an appointment. I am so glad we chose Commonwealth Orthodontics & we truly appreciate all they have done for Caroline! Her teeth are beautiful! Thank you Dr. Beyer & your amazing staff!”
“Dr. Jeff Beyer and his staff delivers what they promise — a great smile and on time! They have held up to highest standard of professionalism in Orthodontics. They offices are modern with current technology and are very clean. All the staff are courteous to patients and family. Going to the Dentist or Orthodontist is not always a pleasant experience to a patient. However, they make the patient feel welcomed and relaxed. They have a video game room. The patient is acknowledged on the first day with a sign/message board in the waiting area. On their last day of treatment they are treated to a goody bag of items they could not eat during the course of their treatment. I look forward to returning in a few years for our next child to receive treatment!”
Make you feel like family
“Outstanding! Both of my daughters are patients here. From the first consultation to the exciting day of getting their braces off we have not one negative thing to say. Dr. Beyer and his staff are always courteous, friendly and make you feel like family. I would recommend this practice to anyone who is thinking of making their smile better! Glad these days are behind us but if we had to do it all over again Commonwealth Orthodontics is where we would go.”
Great options for payment plans
“Since the first day we came to Commonwealth Orthodontics for an estimate on braces for my daughter, it has always been a wonderful experience. The staff is friendly and explain each step of the process. They have two convenient locations and great options for payment plans when your insurance does not cover braces!” She was so excited to get them off today. Thank you Commonwealth Orthodontics!”
Highly recommend them!
“We just finished our second set of braces fore our oldest and getting ready to put our youngest in his second set. Dr. Beyer and his staff have been great to us over these past five years! I highly recommend them!
“I started Invisalign when I was 26 years old and knew that it would be a rough road. I had a lot of crowding and required to have four teeth pulled before even getting started! I went through tons and tons of trays, but the final result is perfect! I couldn’t be more happy with my teeth and the confidence that it has given me! Plus, all the staff are so wonderful, knowledgeable, and easy to work with!”

insurance & billing
Orthodontic treatment is an investment that lasts a lifetime, and we strive to help our patients find the best payment option for their budget.
Each orthodontic treatment is specifically designed to meet the individual needs of the patient, so there is no “standard” fee for treatment. Length of treatment time, complexity of the treatment to be rendered, the type of appliance system used, and many other factors contribute to the fee for treatment.
At Commonwealth Orthodontics, we will quote one comprehensive fee which covers the entire scope of treatment (placement, adjustments, removal, retainers and supervision) so you can be sure there are no surprise fees later.
Payment options
At your initial visit, if it is determined that orthodontic treatment is indicated, we will provide you with a written quote good for six months. Our quotes are all inclusive so you won’t be surprised by hidden fees later.
When you are ready to begin treatment we offer multiple payment options including:
When scheduling your first appointment please provide any insurance information you may have to so our staff can verify your orthodontic benefits prior to your visit.
To minimize your out of pocket costs, we accept payment directly from the insurance companies. For those with a medical savings account, we can work with you and your employer to help obtain the maximum annual benefit.
Commonwealth Orthodontics works with most major insurance companies. Contact us with any insurance or financial questions you have. We are here to simplify the process and make orthodontic treatment as easy and hassle free as possible.
