General Dentistry

General Dentistry

The everyday care that keeps your teeth healthy for life, exams, cleanings, and honest guidance from a practice rooted in our river town.

General dentistry is the foundation. It is the regular exam that catches a small cavity before it becomes a crown. It is the cleaning that keeps your gums healthy. It is the steady relationship with a dentist who knows your history and can tell you when something needs attention, and when it can simply be watched.

At Scottsville Family Dentistry, your everyday care is led by Dr. Tyler Youn. Seeing the same experienced dentist at every visit means real continuity for families across Albemarle, Fluvanna, and Buckingham counties, someone who knows your history and treats you like a neighbor.

Your first visit usually includes a full exam, digital X-rays, and a thorough cleaning. After that, most patients return every six months. Children, adults, and seniors are all welcome, you can schedule the whole family on the same afternoon if that makes life easier.

  • ✓One familiar dentist who knows your whole family's history
  • ✓Comprehensive care under one roof, from cleanings to crowns
  • ✓Convenient for patients across the tri-county area
  • ✓Long-term relationships with a stable, community-rooted practice

Questions we hear

How often should I come in for a checkup?+
Most patients do well with a visit every six months. If your gums or teeth need closer attention, your dentist may suggest a shorter interval. The goal is to keep small issues small.
Can my whole family be seen here?+
Yes. We treat children, teens, adults, and seniors. Scheduling several family members in one visit is something we do often, just ask when you call.
What if I haven't been to the dentist in years?+
You are welcome here without judgment. Many of our new patients come in after a long gap. We start with a gentle exam, talk through what we find, and build a plan that fits your life and your budget.
Do you accept new patients and most insurance?+
Yes. We welcome new patients of every age and file most major dental insurance plans for you. If you don't have coverage, ask about the in-house Virginia Dental Club for predictable yearly pricing.
