Village Dental Group is a well-established dental clinic located in South Orange Village, New Jersey. The practice is led by Dr. L. Dawn Christian, DDS, who is also the owner. The clinic focuses on providing comprehensive and personalized dental care to improve overall health through better oral health. They pride themselves on a high standard of care, utilizing state-of-the-art procedures and the latest dental technologies. The team at Village Dental Group includes a general dentist, a periodontist (Dr. Trevor F. Simmonds), and an orthodontist (Dr. Garrison Copeland), allowing them to offer a wide array of services. These services include general dentistry (cleanings, fillings, exams), cosmetic dentistry (teeth whitening, veneers), restorative dentistry (crowns, bridges, implants, root canals), and specialized treatments like orthodontics and periodontics. They also offer pediatric dentistry and are equipped to handle dental emergencies with same-day appointments when possible. A key aspect of Village Dental Group's philosophy is creating a comfortable and anxiety-free experience for patients. They are particularly sensitive to patients who may have a fear of the dentist due to past bad experiences. The doctors are described as gentle, compassionate, and experienced, and the staff is known for being friendly and professional. The clinic's environment is designed to be clean and modern, with a focus on minimizing wait times. The practice is a strong advocate for preventative care and patient education. They believe in "dental health care" over "disease care" and take the time to explain procedures and answer questions. Village Dental Group accepts most private insurance and offers financing options. They welcome patients of all ages, from children to seniors, and aim to build long-term relationships with families.
