Staff and doctor were great. Listened to my issue, did their consultation and provided me with a plan to fix my issues. Very pleased with services so far. I'm new to the area and a new patient.

Your Dental Team
Meet Your Dentist
“My job isn’t just to fix teeth, it’s to listen first, explain clearly, and make sure you leave feeling like you were actually heard.”
Dr. Sowmya Karamcheti
DDS, MHA, Lead Dentist
When you sit down with Dr. Karamcheti, you get someone who takes the time to understand what brought you in , whether it’s a long-overdue cleaning, a child’s first visit, or a smile you’ve wanted to fix for years.
She’ll walk you through what she sees, explain your options in plain language, and never push you toward treatment you don’t need. Families across Charlottesville have come to know her for her warm chairside manner and her careful, unhurried approach.
Step Inside
A Practice That Feels Like Home
