If you live in or around Farmington, you pass our office more often than you probably realize. Willis & Associates Family Dentistry Ivy sits at 2216 Ivy Rd #205, Charlottesville, VA 22903, along the same Route 250 corridor that carries you toward town — which makes us one of the few appointments on your calendar that does not require planning your day around it.
That proximity is convenient. What keeps Farmington-area families with us, though, is the way we practice: doctor-owned, over 30 years of trusted service in this corner of Albemarle County, and a firm belief that good dentistry is a long conversation, not a transaction.
Dentistry That Respects Your Time — and Your Intelligence
Our patients from the Farmington and Ednam side of the corridor tend to be people who ask good questions, and we like it that way. Every recommendation comes with the reasoning behind it. We will show you your own scans and X-rays, explain what is urgent and what is genuinely optional, and give you honest answers about longevity and cost. If something can wait, we say so. If something should not, we explain why — and then the decision stays where it belongs, with you.
Appointments run on time. Clinical hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and because the drive from the Farmington area takes just a few minutes, a routine visit fits neatly between a morning at home and lunch in town.
Complete and Cosmetic Care, Minutes from Home
There is no reason to drive across Charlottesville — or up to Richmond — for excellent dentistry. Under our one roof you will find:
- Preventive care built around thorough, unhurried exams and cleanings
- Dental implants planned with on-site 3D imaging, from single teeth to full restorations
- Invisalign for adults who want straighter teeth without a mouthful of metal
- Crowns, veneers, and whitening for smiles that photograph as well as they feel
- Sedation options for anyone whose last dental experience left a mark
The Technology Behind the Comfort
We invested in the tools that make modern dentistry genuinely better, not just newer. iTero digital scanning means crown and Invisalign impressions are taken with a small wand instead of a tray of putty — if you have not needed a crown in a decade or two, the difference will surprise you. Our post on digital crown impressions and premium materials explains what changed. CBCT 3D imaging lets us plan implants and evaluate roots with precision that flat X-rays cannot match, and Overjet AI diagnostics reviews every radiograph alongside the doctor, so nothing subtle slips past.
A Practice with Deep Roots on This Corridor
Plenty of our Farmington-area patients have been with the practice through multiple decades, multiple dentists' worth of second opinions, and in some cases multiple generations of their own family. That continuity is the quiet advantage of a doctor-owned neighborhood practice: your history lives here, your X-rays live here, and the people who greet you know the difference between your crown from 2015 and your crown from last spring.
We serve the whole western side of the county — neighbors near Boar's Head and Ednam, colleagues coming from UVA, and families across the areas we serve. And if a tooth cracks on a Saturday bike ride or a weeknight dinner, our emergency care page tells you exactly what to do.
