When it comes to oral surgery, where you go for care makes all the difference. Patients across Hampton Roads have a wide range of providers to choose from, but not all oral surgeons offer the same level of training, technology, or personal attention. Whether you need a tooth removed, are considering dental implants, or have been referred by your dentist for a specialized procedure, finding the right oral surgery practice is a decision worth making carefully. Hampton is one of the communities across Hampton Roads we serve.
At Goodove Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we have served the Hampton Roads region from our Virginia Beach and Chesapeake locations for years. As an independently owned practice, we are rooted in this community and committed to providing the kind of individualized care that larger, corporate-owned groups often cannot match. Our patients are not numbers in a system. They are neighbors, families, and long-term relationships we genuinely value. Our dental implant services draw patients from throughout the region, including those searching for a trusted Hampton oral surgeon closer to home.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons receive specialized training that goes well beyond dental school. After earning a dental degree, an OMS completes an additional four to six years of hospital-based surgical residency, gaining experience in anesthesia, facial trauma, complex extractions, and reconstructive procedures.
Not every oral surgeon holds board certification, and it is a distinction worth understanding as a patient. Our lead surgeon, Dr. Scott R. Goodove, DDS, holds dual board certifications in oral and maxillofacial surgery, placing him among a select group of surgeons who have met the most rigorous standards in the field. As the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons explains, not everyone who performs oral surgery is a board-certified OMS, and the difference in training and qualifications is significant. Choosing a surgeon with verified credentials gives patients confidence that their care is in capable, accountable hands.
Our surgical team also maintains operating privileges at Virginia Beach Ambulatory Surgery Center, Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center, and Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, which allows us to care for patients with complex medical needs or those who require procedures in a fully equipped hospital setting.
We provide a comprehensive range of oral surgery services to patients across the region. Whether you are dealing with impacted wisdom teeth, bone loss that has complicated your implant candidacy, or a lesion that requires further evaluation, our team has the training to guide you from diagnosis through recovery.
Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth are among the most common reasons patients are referred to an oral surgeon. Left unaddressed, they can lead to crowding, infection, cyst formation, and damage to neighboring teeth. We evaluate each patient individually and develop a removal plan based on the position of the teeth, the patient’s age, and their overall oral health.
Dental implants have become the standard of care for replacing missing teeth because they function like natural tooth roots. They preserve jawbone density, support neighboring teeth, and allow patients to eat, speak, and smile without the limitations of removable prosthetics. We offer a range of implant solutions, from single-tooth replacements to full-arch restorations, and we tailor each treatment plan to the patient’s anatomy and goals.
Many patients who have experienced tooth loss or significant gum disease find that there is not enough jawbone density to support implants without additional preparation. Bone grafting rebuilds that foundation by introducing graft material that stimulates new bone growth over time. This procedure is often a necessary first step before implant placement, and our team handles both stages of the process.
We offer a full menu of procedures, including oral pathology evaluations, cone-beam CT imaging for precise surgical planning, and pre-prosthetic surgery for patients preparing for dentures or other prosthetic restorations. Our goal is to be a comprehensive oral surgery resource for referring dentists and patients alike throughout Hampton Roads.
Hampton Roads is a large, diverse region, and we understand that traveling a distance for a surgical appointment is not always practical or comfortable. That is why we maintain two conveniently located offices, one in Virginia Beach and one in Chesapeake, so that more patients can access quality oral surgery care without unnecessary commuting.
Our relationship with referring general dentists is central to how we practice. We prioritize communication, returning patients to their dentist with detailed notes and a clear understanding of the work completed. Dentists in the area choose to refer to us because they trust that their patients will be treated well, communicated with honestly, and returned to their care promptly.
At Goodove Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we take pride in being a hometown oral surgery practice that has remained independent in a market increasingly dominated by corporate dental groups. Dr. Goodove founded this practice with a commitment to community, quality, and personal relationships, and that foundation shapes every aspect of our care. Our team accepts a wide range of insurance plans, including PPO plans, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, TRICARE, and Veterans Affairs coverage, and we offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry Financing to help make treatment accessible.
If you are looking for a Hampton oral surgeon who offers board-certified care, a compassionate team, and a track record built over years of serving this region, we welcome the opportunity to meet with you. Contact our office to schedule your consultation and take the next step toward better oral health.
