Not every tooth needs treating
The dentistry you need.
Nothing beyond it.
Family, cosmetic and implant care in two Alexandria offices — where the plan is built around what your mouth actually needs, and explained before it begins.
The practice
Family, cosmetic and implant dentistry — under one roof, for every age.
We know a dental visit can be stressful, so we take the time to listen first and build the plan around you. Nearly everything is handled in our own offices — cleanings through implants, braces through sleep appliances — so you are not sent across town halfway through your treatment.
The U Shine idea
A dental home,
not a dental visit.
Everyone, at every age
Grandparents and six-year-olds in the same waiting room, looked after by the same team. Two offices in Alexandria so one of them is near you.
Skyline & Old Town · families welcomeCalm is part of the dentistry
We would rather hear about dental anxiety at the start than halfway through, and plan the visit around it — shorter appointments, more explaining, sedation where it genuinely helps.
Sedation & anxiety-free optionsOne roof, start to finish
Cleanings through implants, braces through sleep appliances. You are not handed to a practice across town in the middle of your own treatment.
Nearly all treatment done in-houseWhat to expect
What you can count on at either office.
Seen the same day when it cannot wait
We hold time for emergencies every day, and in many cases the treatment happens at the same visit rather than at another appointment.
Costs talked through before treatment
We work with your insurance directly and give a detailed estimate where you are out of network. Cherry and CareCredit cover monthly payments, and our in-house membership plan is there for patients without insurance.
Time taken to listen
Treatment plans are built around what you tell us — including dental anxiety, which we would rather hear about at the start than halfway through.
Comfort taken seriously
Sedation and anxiety-free options for patients who need them, and a room set up so an hour in the chair passes quietly.
