Wow, wow, and wow! I can’t tell you how relieved our family was to find a compassionate, friendly and competent dental group after moving from out of state. We have some extremely anxious dental patients, and they are thrilled, comfortable, and relaxed here. Kudos to everyone!

Pediatric Dentistry: Fun & Gentle Dental Care for Kids
Healthy habits start early and so does great dental care. Our pediatric dentists are specially trained to care for children from infancy through adolescence, creating positive, stress-free dental experiences that help kids develop a lifetime of healthy smiles.
At Virginia Family Dentistry, our pediatric specialists provide gentle, age-appropriate care including first dental visits, cleanings, fluoride treatments, sealants, and early orthodontic evaluations. We also offer sedation options for children who need extra comfort during treatment.

Our periodontal services include scaling and root planing, gum grafting, bone regeneration, and dental implant placement. Using advanced technology and minimally invasive techniques, our specialists focus on restoring your oral health and protecting your smile for the long term.
Dental Implants: Permanent Tooth Replacement
Our experienced dentists can restore missing teeth with dental implants, helping patients regain the comfort, function, and confidence of a natural smile.
Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for replacing one tooth, multiple teeth, or securing dentures. Our specialists use advanced 3D imaging, guided implant placement, and state-of-the-art materials to ensure accuracy, comfort, and beautiful results.
