Smithfield Oral Surgeon

Smithfield carries the character of a community that takes care of its own. As the county seat of Isle of Wight County, it is shaped by agriculture, deep roots, and a strong local identity — from the historic downtown district along Main Street to the farms and timber corridors defining the surrounding county. When Smithfield residents need healthcare not available locally, they make deliberate choices about where to go, and those choices tend to be driven by trust and quality rather than convenience alone.

At Goodove Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we regularly see patients traveling from Smithfield, Windsor, Carrollton, and the surrounding Isle of Wight area. Our Chesapeake office is the most accessible, typically 35 to 45 minutes via Route 258 North to I-664, or via Route 17 through Windsor. We offer the full scope of oral surgery procedures and accept the insurance plans most commonly carried by Isle of Wight patients, including PPO dental plans, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, TRICARE, and Veterans Affairs coverage.

What an Oral Surgeon Does for Smithfield Patients

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons are the surgical specialists of the dental world. After earning a dental degree, board-certified oral surgeons complete an additional four to six years of hospital-based residency training focused on anesthesia, surgery of the face and jaws, and complex oral procedures. This level of training goes well beyond what a general dentist provides, and it matters significantly when you’re facing a complicated case.

Conditions We Treat

We see patients from Smithfield and the surrounding Isle of Wight County area for a wide range of surgical needs. Whether your dentist has referred you for a procedure or you’re seeking care directly, our surgeons are prepared to address the following:

  • Impacted wisdom teeth, including those causing pain, crowding, or infection
  • Single-tooth and full-arch dental implant surgery, including bone grafting when needed to support placement
  • Surgical and non-surgical tooth extractions, including complex roots
  • Oral pathology evaluation, including biopsy and diagnosis of lesions
  • Facial trauma, including injuries to the jaw, soft tissue, and surrounding structures
  • Pre-prosthetic surgery to prepare the mouth for dentures or other restorations

These conditions require precision, experience, and the right surgical environment. Our team brings all three to every patient interaction.

Why Independent Oral Surgery Care Matters

Not all oral surgery practices are the same. Corporate dental chains may offer convenience, but they often prioritize volume over the kind of relationship-based care your situation demands. Goodove Oral Surgery & Dental Implants was founded by Dr. Scott R. Goodove, a Virginia Beach native and dual board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with deep roots in the Hampton Roads community. Dr. Peter Zagursky, a retired Army Colonel and board-certified OMS, joined the practice in 2014 and brings exceptional surgical depth across dental implants, dentoalveolar surgery, and office-based anesthesia.

Our surgeons hold hospital privileges at Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center and Virginia Beach Ambulatory Surgery Center. This means patients with complex medical histories or anesthetic needs always have a path to care in a fully equipped hospital or surgical facility setting.

The Drive from Smithfield and What to Expect

Smithfield and Isle of Wight County patients most commonly reach our Chesapeake office via Route 258 North through Benn’s Church to I-664 East, then continuing on I-64 South toward Chesapeake — total travel time is typically 35 to 45 minutes depending on your exact starting point. Alternatively, Route 17 through Windsor and Gatesville connects to the Chesapeake area without any toll crossings, which some patients prefer. We know the trip involves planning, and we work hard to make every visit worth it.

At your initial consultation, your surgeon will review all imaging, discuss your full range of treatment options, and give you a clear, honest picture of what to expect both clinically and financially. We accept most major PPO dental plans, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, TRICARE, and Veterans Affairs coverage. CareCredit and Cherry Financing are available for patients managing out-of-pocket costs. We also coordinate closely with referring general dentists in Smithfield, Carrollton, Windsor, and across Isle of Wight County to ensure the referral process is seamless on both ends. Contact us to schedule your consultation.
