- Are you taking new patients?
- Yes — with same-week appointments as the norm. Book online or call and ask for the next available.
- Do you take my insurance?
- We work with many dental insurance plans. Call or text us to begin insurance verification — our team can verify your benefits and provide an estimate before your visit.
- What if I don't have insurance?
- The Virginia Dental Club is our membership answer for uninsured patients — it has its own page, and the front desk can walk you through current details in one call.
- How much will my visit cost?
- Exam-and-cleaning visits are usually covered fully by insurance plans with preventive benefits. Any treatment beyond that gets a written figure before it happens — cost conversations here come first, not on the way out.
- Do you see children?
- From the first tooth on. Family blocks — parents and kids the same afternoon — are normal scheduling here.
- What about emergencies?
- Call 434-823-4080 first — a doctor is in the building every weekday, and the emergency pages on this site cover what to do in the first minutes for the common ones.
- How long is a first visit?
- About an hour: history, X-rays if due, cleaning when scheduling allows, doctor's exam, and a plain-language summary. The first-visit page walks through it step by step.
- It's been years since I've seen a dentist. Is that a problem?
- It's a Tuesday here. Tell the front desk when you book — extra time gets blocked, the lecture gets skipped, and the plan starts from today, not from guilt.
