A pleasant visit, every time
River City Dentistry is a reputable dental practice that has been serving the Richmond, VA community for many years. Our practice is a result of the merging of two esteemed dental clinics, namely those of Dr. Frank Richardson (established 1961) and Dr. Thomas S. Cooke III (established 1972). These practitioners were known for their compassion and gentleness, which changed the way people experienced dentistry.
In 1999, Drs. Doug Overstreet and Susan Richardson-Overstreet, both graduates of the VCU School of Dentistry in 1992, founded River City Dentistry. They aimed to continue the legacy of their predecessors by providing individualized dental care that prioritizes the needs of each patient. As a people-driven practice, we understand that every person is unique, and so are their dental experiences. Our goal is to treat the person behind the smile while promoting good oral and physical health through personalized dental care.
Our practice takes pride in creating a family atmosphere, making sure that you are greeted by familiar and friendly faces whenever you visit. Our doctors and staff regularly undergo training, learning, and implementation of the latest technological advancements in dental practice to provide you with the highest standard of care. We value the relationships we build with our patients and their families, as we believe that getting to know you is crucial in providing the care you deserve and expect.
