Becca
Practice Administrator
"I am absolutely thrilled to have found the Chester Road Dentist office! From the moment you walk in, the administrative staff greets you with such genuine friendliness that it immediately puts you at ease. The hygienist provides exceptional, thorough care and somehow makes even the routine cleanings feel like a spa visit. And the dentists—truly the gentlest I’ve ever experienced—take their time, explain everything clearly, and make sure you’re completely comfortable during every procedure. They even offered me a pillow and blanket, which made such a difference and showed how much they truly care about their patients’ comfort. I’m so happy we discovered this place. They’ve officially become our family dentist for as long as we’re here! Highly, highly recommend."

"After developing severe pain in a molar that had already had a root canal and crown just before Christmas, I looked for emergency dental services and found Chester Road Family Dental. They were able to take a 3D X-ray, and Dr. Ethan Jang was able to point out the existence of several areas of infection around the roots that previous visits to my own dentist, and the emergency room (X-ray, CT scan, and blood work) did not identify. He extracted the tooth the very next day, finding not only that there was infection but also an abscess that he drained. Everyone was competent and friendly."

"Dr. Ethan and his associates have been such blessings for my dental health. The whole Chester Road Family Dental family has been supportive and understanding. They’re the first dental practice I’ve felt comfortable with in years. Only good things to say about them!!"

"Great place to get your teeth cleaned! We only see Jess. She is the best dental hygienist-- very thorough, kind, and gentle. Our teeth always feel great after seeing her :) Everyone is welcoming and helpful."

"As always, Dr. Katie made me feel comfortable and kept me informed at all times while she worked on my tooth, this time filling a cavity. Her assistant Nadia also has a gentle touch and was very helpful. Overall, the treatment was quick and painless."

"This was THE best dental experience I have EVER had in my life. Big shout-out to Claudia, who made my experience seamless. My only regret was not going here before anywhere else. From reception to the doctors and everyone in between were very kind and hospitable. They have great technology things I’ve needed in the past that were like pulling teeth (you see what I did there), were no sweat, easy peasy one two three. They were very efficient and accommodating with my dental emergency. I was confident in the competency of the practitioners working with me. I’ll never go anywhere else again. I have real dental trauma from horrible past experiences. Dentistry can be costly, but my experience was worth every penny. They take insurance and have other coverage options that may be suited to your budget so that you can get the dental care you need. If I could give 10/10, that’s what I’d give. I’m personally referring everyone I know because they are AMAZING. Dr. Krissy was AWESOME, informed you every step, ensured comfort. Natalie really was AMAZING. If you guys see this, thank you all."

"Chester Road Family Dental is amazing! They have the nicest staff and check up on you! They are quick to get you in and take their time with their work, while checking in with you. I was nervous to find a new dentist down here in VA but CRFD makes you feel comfortable and relaxed. I even recommended my grandma to them and she LOVES them! Thank you to all the staff, y'all are truly amazing"

Our office is powered by advanced dental technology.
We believe in providing excellent dentistry and use cutting-edge dental technology to ensure that you receive the best care. These advanced tools enable us to detect issues quickly and accurately, so we can provide efficient treatment while keeping your comfort our number one priority. You can trust that you are receiving the most up-to-date technology and treatments when you come to us.
Digital X-Rays
Digital X-rays emit less radiation, take images faster without any need for processing, and allow us to optimize the images so we can provide a more precise diagnosis.
Intraoral Camera
By using this handheld diagnostic tool, we can zoom in closely on specific teeth and capture a high-quality image of them. The images are then displayed on a screen for both you and our dentist to review, providing a better understanding of your diagnosis and treatment.
Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)
CBCT is an advanced imaging technique that uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam to create a highly detailed 3D image of the mouth.
Digital Scanner
Our office uses digital scanners to create a highly detailed 3D model of your teeth. This allows us to design custom-made Invisalign® aligners and dental crowns with incredible accuracy.
3D Printer
3D printing allows us to offer better fitting aligners, mouthguards and whitening trays in our office, without waiting on a dental lab.
CEREC
Chairside Economical Restorations of Esthetic Ceramic (CEREC) allows us to perform ceramic restorations within minutes.
