North Garden and Batesville folks tend to size things up plainly, so here it is plainly: we are a doctor-owned dental office on Ivy Road, we do good work at fair value, we will never sell you treatment you do not need, and we are an easy run up the highway from southern Albemarle. Willis & Associates Family Dentistry Ivy, 2216 Ivy Rd #205, Charlottesville, VA 22903 — open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.
An Easy Run Up 29
From North Garden, head north on US-29 toward Charlottesville, pick up the 250 Bypass, and follow Ivy Road west a short distance to our office — call it roughly 20 minutes, most of it highway. Batesville families often prefer their own back way through the western hills, or Route 151 south when the day's errands point that direction. Either way, we sit on the west side of town, which means you never fight your way through downtown Charlottesville to reach us. Free parking, right outside the door.
Most of our southern Albemarle patients fold dental visits into a town day — checkup first thing, then the rest of the list. Our 8:00 AM opening exists for exactly that.
One Office for the Whole Household
Out in the 29 South countryside, nobody wants a different provider in a different building for every member of the family. We keep it consolidated:
- Twice-a-year exams and cleanings that actually run on schedule
- Pediatric care with the patience young patients need — and appointment slots that work around the school run
- Fillings, crowns, extractions, and dental implants handled at this one address
- Same-day emergency care when a tooth breaks on a fence rail, a peach pit, or plain bad luck
No Insurance? Join the Club — Literally
A lot of working families out this way are self-employed, farm, or work jobs without dental benefits, and traditional insurance often costs more than it gives back. The Virginia Dental Club membership plan is our answer: one flat annual membership that covers preventive care and meaningfully discounts everything else, with no claim forms, no waiting periods, and no annual maximums. We wrote up how it works in our guide to the Virginia Dental Club — worth five minutes if you have been paying cash and crossing your fingers.
Modern Tools, Straight Answers
The practice carries over 30 years of trusted service in Albemarle County, and has been doctor-owned — no corporate quotas, no revolving door of providers. The equipment, though, is anything but old-school: iTero digital scanning instead of gag-inducing impression trays, CBCT 3D imaging for implant and extraction planning, and Overjet AI diagnostics giving every X-ray a second, tireless review. You will see your own images on the screen, hear what we found in plain language, and get an honest answer on what needs doing now versus what can safely wait a season.
Neighbors in Every Direction
The southern half of the county is one part of our patient map. We are Ivy's hometown office to our immediate neighbors, we serve Route 250 commuters from Greenwood, and the whole list is on our areas we serve page.
Next town day, put your teeth at the top of the list instead of the bottom. Call (434) 977-4101 or book online — first visit, you will know if we are your kind of office. We think we are.
