ATTENTION VA BEACH PATIENTS:
Our new location is 837 First Colonial Road, VA Beach, VA 23451
Finding the right oral surgeon is a decision that goes beyond convenience. You want someone who takes time to understand your situation, explains your options clearly, and has the credentials to handle whatever procedure you need. In Chesapeake, that kind of care can be harder to find than it should be, especially as so many practices have joined larger corporate networks where schedules are tight and the personal connection between doctor and patient gets lost.
At Goodove Oral Surgery & Dental Implants, we’ve built something different. Our Chesapeake office brings board-certified oral surgery care to the south side of Hampton Roads, with a team that prioritizes your comfort and your outcomes above all else. We’re an independent practice, and that independence means you’ll always speak with a real surgeon, not a call center, when questions or concerns come up. From the moment you contact us to the day of your procedure and every follow-up appointment after, our approach is hands-on and personal.
Our Chesapeake team provides a range of procedures to meet each patient’s complete oral surgical needs, including wisdom teeth removal, dental implants, sedation options, tooth extractions, pre-prosthetic surgery, and cone beam CT imaging for accurate, three-dimensional diagnostics.
Impacted or problematic wisdom teeth are one of the most common reasons patients are referred to our office. We handle straightforward extractions and more complex surgical cases with the same level of precision and care. Whether your wisdom teeth are causing pain now or your dentist wants to address them before complications develop, our team will walk you through the process from start to finish.
Replacing missing teeth with implants is one of the most meaningful restorations we provide. Implants look, feel, and function like natural teeth, and when placed correctly, they can last a lifetime. Our Chesapeake team uses advanced cone-beam CT imaging to plan each case precisely, ensuring that implants are positioned for the best possible long-term outcome.
For patients who have experienced jawbone loss, whether from a tooth extraction, gum disease, or other causes, bone grafting is often a necessary step before implants can be placed. We offer a range of grafting procedures, all tailored to each patient's anatomy and goals, and our approach is conservative and patient-centered.
Changes in the soft tissues of the mouth, such as unusual sores, white or red patches, lumps, or persistent discomfort, should never be ignored. Oral pathology involves the evaluation and diagnosis of diseases affecting the mouth and jaw, and early detection is critical. Our surgeons are trained to identify and address these concerns promptly.
We offer a range of sedation options, from nitrous oxide to IV sedation, so every patient can feel calm and comfortable during treatment at our Chesapeake office.
When a dental emergency strikes, our Chesapeake team provides prompt, expert extraction care to relieve pain and protect your oral health.
Our Chesapeake office is led by Dr. Scott R. Goodove, DDS and Dr. Peter Zagursky, DDS, a board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon and retired Army officer. His training and military background have shaped an approach to patient care that is thorough, efficient, and reassuring, especially for patients who are nervous about oral surgery.
Board certification in oral and maxillofacial surgery, as defined by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons, reflects a surgeon’s mastery of both the clinical and biological sciences underlying the specialty. Dr. Zagursky meets that standard, and he brings that level of preparation to every case he treats at our Chesapeake location. He is supported by the broader Goodove Oral Surgery team, which includes practice founder Dr. Scott R. Goodove, DDS, a dual board-certified oral and maxillofacial surgeon with hospital privileges at Bon Secours Maryview Medical Center, Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters, and the Virginia Beach Ambulatory Surgery Center.
We understand that most people coming to see us have been referred by their general dentist, and we take that trust seriously. Our relationship with the referring dental community throughout Hampton Roads is something we’ve cultivated carefully over the years, and it reflects a shared commitment to doing right by patients.
We accept a wide range of insurance plans, including major PPO plans, Medicaid, Medicare Advantage, TRICARE, and Veterans Affairs coverage. We also offer financing through CareCredit and Cherry Financing to help patients access the care they need without delay. Our staff is experienced in working through coverage questions with patients directly, because we believe financial considerations should never be a barrier to getting the treatment you need.
We also understand that when something comes up after a procedure, patients need real answers from real people. At Goodove Oral Surgery, our doctors and our team pick up the phone. That kind of accessibility sets us apart from practices where patients are transferred through layers of staff before reaching anyone who can actually help.
Whether your dentist has referred you to us or you’re searching for an oral surgeon in Chesapeake on your own, we’d welcome the opportunity to meet with you. Our consultations are thorough and unhurried, giving you time to ask questions and understand your options before any decisions are made.
Reach out to our team today through our Chesapeake office contact form to request an appointment. We look forward to providing the kind of independent, patient-centered oral surgery care that the Chesapeake community deserves.
