Welcome, New Patients

Your first appointment at Harrisonburg Dentist is all about getting to know you. Together with Dr. James Willis, you will walk through your dental and medical history, have any necessary X-rays taken, and receive a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. From there, you leave with a personalized care plan built around your goals, whether that means a routine cleaning, a cosmetic refresh, or rebuilding a smile that has been on your mind for years.

Choosing a new dentist is a real decision, especially if you are new to the Harrisonburg area or it has been a while since your last visit. You can ask any question you like and never feel judged for the gap. Whether you are a JMU student, a Sentara RMH nurse, a Rockingham County family, or a retiree in Bridgewater or Dayton, you have a dental home here, and our front desk is always glad to help.

To make your first visit feel easy, complete your patient forms ahead of time, bring your insurance card and a photo ID, and arrive a few minutes early. If the dentist makes you nervous, tell us so we can give you extra time and a slower pace from the moment you sit down. Our Medical Avenue office sits right in the Sentara RMH medical corridor, so it is simple to coordinate with your physician and reach us from I-81, Port Republic Road, or the JMU campus.
