ATTENTION VA BEACH PATIENTS:
Our new location is 837 First Colonial Road, VA Beach, VA 23451
Portsmouth is a city built on service — to the Navy, to its neighbors, and to the broader Hampton Roads community. With Naval Medical Center Portsmouth at its center, the city has a long familiarity with what high-level clinical care looks like, and what patients rightly expect from the providers they choose. For oral surgery, Portsmouth residents deserve a team with verified credentials and institutional relationships that meet that standard.
At Goodove Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we serve Portsmouth patients from our two offices, with our Chesapeake location being the most convenient for most Portsmouth addresses — typically 15 to 20 minutes via I-264 West to I-64 South. Our surgeons hold operating privileges at Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center, a hospital Portsmouth residents know as a trusted part of their own healthcare community. Portsmouth is among the Hampton Roads areas we serve, and we accept the full range of insurance plans most relevant to patients here, including TRICARE and Veterans Affairs coverage.
When your dentist refers you to an oral surgeon, it’s because your care requires a higher level of surgical training and precision. Our procedures range from complex tooth extractions to full-arch implant restorations, the kind of advanced work that goes well beyond what a general dentist’s office is designed to handle.
Oral and maxillofacial surgeons complete dental school followed by a minimum of four additional years in a hospital-based surgical residency, training alongside physicians in general surgery, anesthesiology, and other medical disciplines. According to the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, that extensive background uniquely qualifies OMSs to diagnose and treat a broad range of functional and aesthetic conditions involving the face, jaw, and mouth. At Goodove Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, both of our surgeons hold dual board certifications, which reflects a genuine commitment to clinical excellence.
It’s also worth noting that not all oral surgery practices are the same. Corporate dental chains often prioritize volume over the kind of patient-centered attention that leads to truly great outcomes. We chose to remain independent because we believe the best care comes from a team that knows you, communicates openly, and has a real stake in your results.
We offer a comprehensive range of oral surgical procedures and welcome patients from Portsmouth and throughout Hampton Roads. Each treatment plan is personalized based on your dental history, health status, and goals.
Wisdom teeth removal is one of the most commonly referred procedures, and timing often matters. Impacted or partially erupted wisdom teeth can cause infection, crowding, and damage to neighboring teeth when left untreated. We evaluate each case carefully, using cone beam CT imaging when appropriate to plan the safest, most efficient extraction possible.
Missing teeth affects more than your appearance. They can lead to bone loss and shifting of surrounding teeth over time. Dental implants are the closest thing to a natural tooth replacement available, and placing them successfully requires the kind of surgical precision our team brings to every case. We work closely with your restorative dentist to ensure a seamless process from implant placement through final crown.
Many patients who have experienced tooth loss also require bone grafting before implants can be placed. Socket preservation and ridge augmentation procedures help maintain bone volume and set the foundation for a lasting, successful implant outcome.
Unusual tissue changes in the mouth, lips, or throat should never be ignored. Oral pathology evaluations and biopsies are an important part of what we do, helping to identify conditions early when they’re most treatable. If your dentist has noted something out of the ordinary, a prompt referral to an oral surgeon is the appropriate and recommended next step.
Our surgeons hold operating privileges at Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center in Portsmouth — a facility many of our Portsmouth patients already rely on as part of their regular healthcare network. That matters when a procedure requires a hospital or surgery-center setting rather than our office. Knowing the facility, knowing its staff, and having care coordinated within a familiar system provides an additional layer of continuity for patients who need it.
Portsmouth also carries a significant TRICARE and Veterans Affairs patient base, reflecting the presence of Naval Medical Center Portsmouth and the deep military history of the city. We accept TRICARE, VA coverage, Logistic Health for veterans, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, and most major PPO dental plans. CareCredit and Cherry Financing are available for patients who prefer a payment plan. Our Chesapeake office is the closest location for most Portsmouth addresses — typically 15 to 20 minutes via I-264 West to I-64 South. Contact our team to schedule your appointment at the location most convenient for you.
Portsmouth patients have two office locations to choose from in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake, both staffed by a team that leads with warmth and clinical precision. Dr. Scott R. Goodove, our dual board-certified founder, built this practice around a simple philosophy: stay independent, know your patients, and deliver the kind of care you’d want for your own family. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to every day.
When you’re ready to take the next step, we’re here to help you get started. Whether you’ve just received a referral or have been putting off treatment for a while, our team will answer your questions honestly and guide you toward the right solution. Contact our team to schedule your consultation at the location most convenient for you.
