Dr. Hur and the staff were amazing. From the front desk to the examining room. I'm coming in from another dentist whom i was with for over 20 yrs that retired. I was really reluctantly to come but I'm glad I did. From Kierra my xray tech, to Megan my hygienist, they really made me feel comfortable. They all earned…

So far an outstanding business for dental care. I was referred by the Department of Veterans Affairs and I'm glad they made that decision. Community Care is great and I appreciate how well Commonwealth Dentistry have taking care of my dental needs.

My technician today filled in for my primary technician and was awesome! Not many would say "I enjoy my visits at the dentist, however, I will because the staff is wonderful."

I want to take a moment to recognize Mrs. Maria Curro Villanueva at Commonwealth Dentistry in Suffolk, Virginia, for providing an absolutely outstanding dental hygiene experience! Maria is truly a phenomenal dental hygienist who deserves recognition for her professionalism, outstanding patient care, and dedication to her work. From the moment you interact with her, you can appreciate the importance she places on making patients feel comfortable, respected, and well cared for. Her attention to detail, gentle approach, and commitment to excellence make her stand out. It's refreshing to encounter someone who takes such pride in her profession and makes your dental visit a genuinely positive experience. If I could give Mrs. Maria Curro Villanueva a 10 out of 10, I would give her a 100 out of 10! She represents the very best of what a dental hygienist should be, and Commonwealth Dentistry is fortunate to have her on its team. If you're looking for exceptional dental hygiene care in the Hampton Roads area, I highly recommend Mrs. Maria Curro Villanueva!
