We recommend only what is clinically necessary. We will always present all options — including doing nothing — so you can make an informed decision about your care.

Our dental crowns provide the ultimate protection for your teeth, helping to safeguard them from further damage. Our crowns are custom-made to fit perfectly over a weakened tooth, protecting it while restoring its natural look and feel.
Dental Implants offer permanent solutions to missing teeth, enabling you to enjoy your favorite foods and activities with greater freedom of movement and control. Not only do they look like your own teeth, but our implants also feel just like natural teeth – providing a reliable, long term solution for those missing one or more of their teeth. For a perfect smile and enhanced dental health, our dental implants are the solution! Our durable and resilient implants provide a long-term solution with permanent results.
Keep your smile bright and healthy with our top-of-the line dental fillings.Our advanced filling materials help to restore teeth weakened by decay, providing superior protection against future damage and tooth loss.
Root canals or endodontic treatment are necessary to save a tooth with a diseased pulp or nerve. When the pulp or nerve of a tooth is injured or diseased, the tissue dies. If it is not removed, the tooth will often become painfully infected. Without timely treatment, you risk the possibility of losing the tooth. When a root canal is performed, the dentist removes the diseased tissue and it is sealed off and finished with a crown to stabilize the tooth.

Trusted by the Community
The team was warm, welcoming and considerate. From the reception to check out everyone was focused on taking care of my needs, considerate of my time and I did not have to wait. Connor and Dr. States were friendly and professional. Great experience
Dr. States is an exceptional dentist. The best I've ever experienced. He lets me know exactly what he is doing before the actual procedure. He has amazing experience and knows exactly what he is doing and why and above all very gentle. I don't have any anxiety under his skilled hands!
I moved to Cville 3 years ago from NoVA but kept using my longtime dentist there. It was time to switch to a dental practice here. Just had my first appointment with Cville Dental and was very happy with professionalism, safety and service. Everything was excellent.

Most Invisalign cases at our Charlottesville practice take between 12 and 18 months, depending on the complexity of your bite. Mild cases can sometimes be completed in as few as 6 months. We will provide a personalized timeline during your free consultation.
Dental implants are an excellent option for most patients with one or more missing teeth and sufficient bone density. We will evaluate your bone health, overall health, and treatment goals during a consultation to determine if implants are the right choice — or whether a bridge or denture may be more appropriate for your situation.
Absolutely. We welcome patients from Charlottesville, Crozet, Waynesboro, Staunton, Albemarle County, and all surrounding communities in central Virginia. Our location at 1227 Cedars Ct is easily accessible from US-250, I-64, and Route 29.
The key difference is whether the infection or decay has reached the pulp (nerve) of the tooth. Signs that may indicate a root canal is needed include severe or persistent toothache, sensitivity to hot or cold that lingers, swelling near the tooth, or a darkened tooth. A filling is appropriate when decay is limited to the outer layers of the tooth. We will determine the right treatment with a clinical exam and X-rays — and always explain our reasoning clearly.
