The Best Dentist in Richmond, VA

Dentist for Cool Girls™️ (and everyone else)

I heard about Northside Dental on a Reddit thread seeking dentists in RVA for folks who have dental anxiety and/or have not been to the dentist in quite a while. I’m so glad I found them! I had not been to the dentist in ~5 years due to gaps in insurance and mounting anxiety about how bad my teeth had probably gotten after all that time.

My great experience started with the intake forms, where Northside asks questions like “Have you ever had a bad experience at the dentist?” and “Does the dentist make you anxious?” in order to gauge patient comfort. There were also plenty of opportunities on the form for me to add comments about what I wanted the staff and dentist to know prior to my visit.

The office itself is clean and modern with a very friendly, all fem staff (including both dentists). The rooms have televisions mounted on the ceiling so that patients can watch tv during their procedures. As a new patient, I also got a free welcome gift (choice between a bag of Blanchard’s coffee or a Northside Dental tumbler). I chose the tumbler so that everyone will know I am a cool girl who goes to the dentist 🦷 ✨

I have had two appointments so far, and all of my exams and procedures have been skillfully performed and low-anxiety. I have been informed of what was going on with my care at every step. I highly recommend Northside Dental for anyone in need of a dentist, especially those who have anxiety or hesitations surrounding dental care. Thanks, Northside Dental Co.!

The staff at northside dental are so kind and really take their time with you, answering questions, and making sure you have a great experience.

The best dental experience I’ve ever had. Maya was so kind, gave a thorough exam, and the gentlest cleaning I’ve ever had. Thank you so much Maya and team for taking such great care of me!

I hadn’t been to the dentist in years. I was afraid of being reprimanded for that, and afraid of general anxiety that comes from going to the dentist. This was by far the best dental experience I’ve ever had. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, kind, and gentle. I started having severe tooth pain over the weekend and they were able to fit me in as a new patient on MONDAY. They assessed my pain, gave me their suggestions, and I’m now regularly set up and have a scheduled 6 month cleaning. Cannot recommend enough.

The staff was most friendly and very accommodating following my recent surgery. I appreciate their attention to even the smallest changes in my teeth and gums and their thoughtful recommendations.
