The Virginia Dental Association and the American Dental Association have recommend dentists to suspend all non-emergency procedures. Dental offices are in one of the highest risk categories for transmission and contraction of COVID19. The health of our staff and patients is our primary concern. For this reason, our office will be closed at least until March 31, 2020. If you have a true dental emergency, please contact the office at 276-236-6197 and leave a message or send a text to 276-237-1084. We will periodically check messages during regular business hours. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
