For most people, "conveniently located" is a stretch of marketing language. For Ednam and Boar's Head residents, it is simply a map. Willis & Associates Family Dentistry Ivy sits at 2216 Ivy Rd #205, Charlottesville, VA 22903 — on the same short stretch of Route 250 as your own neighborhood. Depending on where you live, the drive to our chair may be the shortest trip on your entire errand list.
Probably the Closest Practice to Your Front Door
Proximity is a pleasant bonus, but it becomes genuinely valuable in two situations. The first is routine care: when the dentist is this close, six-month exams and cleanings actually happen every six months, and small issues get caught while they are still small. The second is the day something goes wrong — a cracked molar at dinner, a crown that comes loose over the weekend, a toothache that will not quit. Being minutes away changes the entire character of a dental problem.
We are open Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, doctor-owned, with over 30 years of trusted service on this corridor behind us.
Care for Every Season of Life
The Ednam and Boar's Head neighborhoods hold everyone from young families to retirees who have called the Route 250 corridor home for decades, and our practice is built to match that range:
- Preventive and restorative dentistry — cleanings, fillings, crowns, and bridges, with Overjet AI diagnostics double-checking every X-ray the doctor reads
- Dental implants — planned in-house with CBCT 3D imaging, an option worth understanding if you are weighing dentures, bridges, or replacing a single failing tooth
- Invisalign — yes, adults straighten their teeth, and iTero digital scanning shows you the projected result before you commit
- Sedation dentistry — calm, comfortable options if dental visits have never been your favorite hour
Staying at Boar's Head Resort? We See Visitors, Too
Every so often the phone rings with a resort guest — mid-vacation, mid-conference, mid-golf-trip — who has broken a tooth or lost a filling a long way from their own dentist. If that is you: call (434) 977-4101. Our same-day emergency care exists precisely for moments like this, and our office is just a short hop along Route 250 from the resort. We will stabilize the problem, relieve the pain, document everything, and send records to your home dentist so your care continues seamlessly when you get back.
Not sure whether your situation counts as urgent? Our guide to when to seek immediate dental care walks through the difference between "call tomorrow" and "call right now."
The Neighborhood Practice, Modernized
There is an old-fashioned idea at the heart of this office — the neighborhood dentist who knows your family, your history, and your preferences — carried out with distinctly un-old-fashioned tools. Digital scans instead of impression trays. 3D imaging instead of referral slips. AI-assisted diagnostics instead of squinting at gray film. What has not changed is the pace: appointments are unhurried, explanations are plain-spoken, and nobody will ever pressure you into treatment you do not need.
If you are without dental insurance — common among retirees in the neighborhood — ask about the Virginia Dental Club membership plan, a simple annual alternative that covers preventive care and discounts everything else.
Your Neighbors on the Corridor
We care for households all along this stretch of 250 — the Farmington area next door, the village of Ivy just west, and the full sweep of communities along Route 250. Wherever you sit on the corridor, the invitation is the same: come see what a truly local dental office feels like.
