Excellent dentists and dental assistants. Dr Chung was exceptionally patient and gentle with my low pain tolerance and nervousness. Gave me extra pain killer while replacing a large old filling, filling a small new cavity and fitting the same tooth with a crown with a level of skill that saved me from having a root canal. I appreciate that they did not press for unnecessary work. Definitely recommend.

We have been going to them since mid 1980s. They treated us (all four of us) like family since our first visit. Its always a pleasure to visit them and catch up on things while they attend to us.
They are very professional. They don’t do procedures unless it is a necessity. Very dedicated doctors. Their team is also as friendly, personal and compassionate as they are. Wouldn’t want go to any other dentist unless we move to a different state or country).
My kids live four hours from here. They still come back here for their dental appointments…
If you want to have a pleasant experience with your dental needs, this is the place to go.

Early 2023 Dr. David Babington suggested me to try Invisalign for aligning my teeth better. While he was examining my jaws, I felt the pain in my nerves in the middle of my head where my migraines started all these years. Little did we (including my dentist) knew that the Invisalign’s would fix my migraine issue. Since I started my treatment last year I haven’t had any migraine attacks🤞. So if you have chronic migraine please explore this option to increase the quality of your life. It’s worth every penny. Thanks to ‘Legacy Dentistry of Virginia’ and to Dr. David Babington & his crew 🙏🏻.

Common Questions About Relieving Dental Anxiety
Can you help with relieving dental anxiety?
Yes, we would be more than happy to help you through your dental anxiety. Over the years, we’ve been able to help thousands of patients relax so they could receive much-needed dental care. Our staff is trained to be as calming and compassionate as possible, and they would love the chance to help you, too.
Are there steps I can take at home to relieve dental anxiety?
Before your appointment, we suggest visualizing a positive experience and practicing deep breathing exercises. You can also visit our office at a quiet time, when other patients may not be around. Ask us about this option when you call us to make your appointment. Share any concerns you have with us beforehand. We can even establish a signal for you to use to indicate if you need a break.
Why is relieving dental anxiety important?
If you experience severe fear of going to the dentist, it can lead you to avoid dental visits for years. Unfortunately, this fear not only impacts your oral health, but it can have negative effects on other areas of the body. That’s why it’s essential to find a dentist who can work with you, so you maintain good oral health throughout your life.
