Why Virginia Dental & Anesthesia Associates Is Different…
- Pediatric, Adult, & Anesthesia Care Under One Roof
Few dental practices offer pediatric dentistry, adult dentistry, and in-office general anesthesia in one location. Our multi-specialty approach allows families to receive coordinated care from experienced providers who work together to support each patient’s unique needs. - One of Virginia’s Few In-Office General Anesthesia Programs
For patients who are unable to comfortably receive treatment while awake, our in-office general anesthesia program provides another option for accessing necessary dental care. Children, adults, and patients with special healthcare needs can receive treatment in a familiar setting with a team experienced in their care. - Pediatric Dental Specialists
Unlike general dental offices that also treat children, our pediatric dentists have advanced specialty training focused exclusively on the oral health, development, and unique needs of infants, children, and adolescents. - Specialized Care for Complex Needs
Our team regularly works with patients who experience dental anxiety, sensory sensitivities, special healthcare needs, and complex treatment requirements. We take time to understand each patient and create a care approach that supports their comfort, communication, and success. - Trusted by Families for Generations
Many of our patients first visited Virginia Dental & Anesthesia Associates as children and now bring their own families to our practice. We are honored to be part of their family’s story and continue building relationships throughout the communities we serve.

What age can my child start seeing a pediatric dentist?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends a first visit by age one, or within six months of the first tooth coming in. At our Fredericksburg office, our pediatric dental specialists see patients from infancy through the teen years, focusing on early prevention, healthy development, and building comfort with dental visits from the start. If your child hasn't had a first visit yet, there's no need to wait for a problem to arise; earlier visits are shorter and simpler, and they help set the tone for a lifetime of positive dental experiences.
Does the Fredericksburg location offer in-office general anesthesia?
Yes — our Fredericksburg office provides in-office general anesthesia, so most patients don't need to be referred to a hospital or outside surgical center. This is available for children, adults, and patients with special healthcare needs who aren't able to comfortably complete treatment while awake. Care is delivered in the same familiar office by a team experienced in anesthesia for dental procedures, which means less disruption for your family and continuity with the same providers throughout treatment.
How do you accommodate patients with autism, sensory sensitivities, or dental anxiety?
Our Fredericksburg team regularly works with patients who have autism, sensory sensitivities, or significant dental anxiety, and we adjust our approach individually rather than using a one-size-fits-all process. That can include extra time to acclimate to the office, modified sensory input during exams, clear step-by-step communication before any procedure, and — when appropriate — in-office general anesthesia as an alternative to an awake appointment. Many of our long-term patients came to us specifically because a prior dental experience elsewhere didn't work for their needs, and our staff are experienced in the patience this kind of care requires.
What should I expect at my child's first appointment?
Your child's first visit starts with a relaxed introduction to the office and team before any exam begins — the goal is comfort first, treatment second. Your appointment includes a gentle oral exam, a discussion of your child's oral development and any concerns you have, and guidance on at-home care like brushing, flossing, and diet. We'll also walk through what to expect at future visits so there aren't surprises. Parents are welcome throughout the visit, and our team will explain each step before it happens so your child knows what's coming next.
What insurance do you accept, and what if I don't have insurance?
Our Fredericksburg office works with a range of dental insurance plans, and our patient care coordinators can verify your specific benefits before your appointment — just call (540) 786-0696 or bring your insurance information to your visit. If you don't have dental insurance, our team can walk you through available payment options so that cost doesn't stand between you and the care you need. We recommend confirming coverage details ahead of your visit so there are no surprises about what's included.
