Why Us

We Connect The Dots
There’s wisdom in traditional dental advice: Brush, floss, limit the sugar, and we’ll see you in six months! However, that now seems incomplete as we know more than ever about how oral health affects overall health. Being open to new discoveries and research is what keeps us improving. For example, did you know that …
-Roughly 50% of heart attacks and strokes are triggered by specific oral bacteria?
-Periodontal disease and diabetes are bi-directional, meaning one impacts the other?
-Amalgam (metal) fillings typically contain about half mercury, a known toxin?
Facts like these are why we prioritize education and use cutting-edge dental technology like lasers, metal-free fillings, fluoride alternatives, and salivary testing. Ultimately, we want our patients to have access to and receive the best care, so we treat the whole person when we:
-Balance traditional dental services with emerging holistic health technologies
-Utilize co-discovery in areas like nutrition, sleep, and motion as they relate to oral health
-Equip you to take charge of your health journey through practical and proven recommendations

We Take Trust Seriously
Our vision is to be the most trusted provider of oral wellness in the RVA community. However, we recognize that trust must be earned. When you choose us for dental care, we commit to honor your choice by truly listening to you and treating you as part of our family. After all, you’re a whole person, not just a set of teeth—and we see our role as health care providers, not merely tooth mechanics. Nurturing a positive patient relationship allows us to help you achieve the best health possible, and believe our mission is to do that through dentistry.

We Offer Unique Technology
A small part of our mission statement is to “embrace relevant technology”. We strive to be lifetime learners, and the field of dentistry is constantly advancing! However, we don’t simply pursue gadgets, we go hard after the things that actually improve the experience and the outcome.
