Although dental offices in Virginia are now permitted to return to providing routine dental care, our office will remain closed until further notice. Our small area is now seeing a rise in Coronavirus cases and we wish to protect our patients, staff and community. We will, however, continue to take care of our patients with emergencies, as we have throughout this crisis. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
