About Us

Creating A Dental Experience Like No Other

Since opening our doors in 2010, we’ve been dedicated to providing the New River Valley community with the best in dental care. With cutting-edge technology and a team of passionate providers and support staff, we strive to offer our patients the highest level of care in an environment that is comfortable and welcoming.

Our commitment to excellence has been recognized, as we have been named one of the “Best of the New River Valley” dental offices for several years by the readers of The Roanoke Times.

When you join our team, you’ll have the freedom to be your best self, and your voice will be heard. We believe in building strong relationships and bringing out the best in everyone.

Giving back to the community is at the heart of what we do. Through the Dentistry from the Heart organization, we provide free dental services to those with limited financial access to care. In one recent event, we were able to provide care to over 100 patients in a single day.

Our core values guide everything we do. We are fanatically focused on our patients, believe in radical candor, are obsessively committed to excellence, seek creative advantages, and are filled with infectious enthusiasm.

If you share our passion for patient care, community service, and our core values, we invite you to explore opportunities to join our team.

OUR STORY

Our Team Is Our Family

I love working at Real Life Dental. They are more than co-workers, they are my family. I have been with Real Life for 8+ years. I love getting to be chair side as a dental assistant and get to know our patients. I can make friends with just about anyone in our chair. It’s one of the many things I love about my position at Real Life Dental!
