Family Dentistry

The best way to keep your teeth healthy is to keep them clean! Establishing a routine with regular, professional check ups removes plaque and tartar while you’re here, identifies potential problems before they become big issues, and helps you improve the effectiveness of your home hygiene techniques.

One of the best dental practices in town, really treat their patients like family and provide great insightful suggestions and tips. They def do their best to make sure we have a great smile.

Dr Vishnu has done wonderful job of cleaning. Found a crack in the crown, and advised a crown in a timely fashion. Dr Vishnu is very empathetic with patients

Great first visit. Easy transition from Dr Evens to Dr. Vishnu. She was professional, gentle and efficient. Glad to see my friend, Mary!! 2 months ago

I had my first appointment with this practice today and it was an amazing experience. They took their time to explain everything to me, gave me the opportunity to ask questions, and even spent time getting to know me on a personal level. I feel grateful I found such an exceptional practice! Highly recommend it!

Very kind! Even with the news I received, I felt at ease. I’ve been coming to this office since I was a kid when it was still under management of Dr Evens. However, I do feel pretty confident that this new team will take good care of me in the years to come.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes, we accept new patients of all ages. With both family dentistry and pediatric dentistry under one roof, we are your family’s home for complete dental care! Call today for an appointment at 804-282-6665.

Do you provide emergency dental care?

Yes, Tusk Dental Co. offers emergency dental care in Richmond VA. Please call our office for any injury or possible infection involving your teeth or mouth. As your dental provider, we’ll see you as soon as possible or refer you to other urgent care.

When should I bring my child in for their first appointment?

We recommend bringing children in for their first appointment when their first tooth comes in or around their first birthday, whichever comes first. That first appointment includes a quick exam, what to expect from pediatric dental care, and how to best care for your child’s new teeth!

Do you offer orthodontic treatments?

Our office specializes in Invisalign treatment, a process of wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. Invisalign is faster than traditional braces, more comfortable, and offers a more predictable treatment plan. We also provide interceptive orthodontic treatment for growing children including space maintenance, growth modification and arch expansion.

My gums bleed when I brush. Should I be worried?

Bleeding gums can result from brushing too hard or using too firm of a toothbrush, but it can also be an early sign of gingivitis or periodontitis. If the bleeding occurs every time you brush, it’s best to come in for a correct diagnosis.

My teeth have changed color. Can it be fixed?

Some foods and drinks can cause teeth to look stained or discolored. Tobacco use, some medications, injuries, and poor dental hygiene can also cause color changes. To determine why your teeth have changed and make a plan to restore their luster, please mention it to your hygienist at the start of your next visit. Sudden changes in tooth appearance should be seen in our office immediately.
