Welcome to Crozet Family Dental. Whether you are new to the Crozet area or simply looking for a dental practice that feels like home, we are glad you found us. Our team — Dr. DeAngelis, Dr. Parvez, Dr. Willis, and Dr. Taylor — has been caring for families throughout Crozet, Charlottesville, and Albemarle County for more than 50 years, and we look forward to welcoming you into our practice.Our office at 5690 Three Notch’d Rd, Suite 100, is designed to feel warm and welcoming from the moment you walk through the door. We know that visiting a new dentist can feel uncertain, so we have put together this guide to help you know exactly what to expect during your first appointment.
Before You Arrive
To make your first visit as smooth as possible, we recommend completing a few things ahead of time. You can download our new patient forms from the
new patients page and fill them out at home before your appointment. This saves time in the waiting room and allows our team to review your health history before you arrive.Please bring the following to your first appointment: a valid photo ID, your dental insurance card if applicable, a list of any medications you are currently taking, and any recent dental records or X-rays from a previous provider if available. If you have specific dental concerns or questions you would like to discuss, jot them down so you do not forget during your visit.If you need help with insurance verification before your appointment, our front office team is happy to check your benefits in advance. Just call us at
434-823-4080 and we will take care of it.
What to Expect When You Arrive
When you arrive at our Crozet office, you will be greeted by our friendly front desk staff. If you have not already submitted your new patient paperwork, we will ask you to complete it at that time — plan to arrive about 15 minutes early to allow enough time.Once your paperwork is complete, one of our dental team members will bring you back to a treatment room. We use modern digital technology throughout our office, including digital X-rays that use significantly less radiation than traditional film. Your initial set of images gives our doctors a comprehensive view of your teeth, jawbone, and surrounding structures.
Your Comprehensive Exam
Your first visit includes a thorough evaluation of your overall oral health. One of our doctors will perform a detailed examination of your teeth and gums, checking for cavities, gum disease, bite alignment issues, signs of teeth grinding, and any other concerns. We also perform an oral cancer screening as part of every comprehensive exam.After the exam, your doctor will sit down with you to discuss their findings. We believe in collaborative care, which means we take the time to explain what we see, answer your questions, and make sure you understand your options before any treatment decisions are made. If X-rays reveal anything that needs attention, we will show you the images and walk you through what they mean.If your oral health is in good shape and there are no urgent concerns, we may be able to complete a professional cleaning during the same visit. If treatment is needed, we will work with you to create a plan that addresses your priorities and fits your schedule.
Your Personalized Treatment Plan
No two patients are the same, and neither are our treatment plans. After your exam, we develop a personalized approach based on your unique dental needs, goals, and budget. Whether you need routine preventive care, cosmetic enhancements, restorative work, or orthodontic treatment like Invisalign, our team has the training and technology to help.We are transparent about costs and will provide a clear estimate of any recommended treatment. Our office accepts most dental insurance plans and offers
CareCredit financing for patients who prefer to spread payments over time. Visit our
payments page for a full overview of your options.
A Practice Built on Relationships
At Crozet Family Dental, we are not just treating teeth — we are building relationships with the families we serve. Many of our patients have been with us for years, and some bring their children and grandchildren to the same practice where they first received care. That kind of trust is earned through consistency, compassion, and a genuine commitment to doing right by every patient.Our office is open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and we do our best to accommodate your scheduling needs. We understand that life in Crozet and the surrounding communities is busy, and we work to make dental visits as convenient as possible.
