About Norfolk Dental Care

Dr. Detweiler's calm, unhurried chairside manner comes up often among nervous patients, though the practice's popularity can make appointments harder to book.

Norfolk Dental Care is a general dental practice that also offers traditional braces, though most reviews focus on routine dental visits. Patients frequently mention feeling put at ease during cleanings and extractions, crediting Dr. Detweiler and Dr. Daud for calm, step-by-step explanations before procedures. The office is often described as clean and modern, and several long-time patients note they keep coming back even after moving farther away. A number of reviews mention that getting an appointment can take some planning given how busy the practice is.

Always a good experience going here, just have to make sure to get an appointment well in advance as demand is high. Hygienists are friendly and Dr Detweiler has been nothing but spectacular.

Best dental office ever! I have a lot of sensitivity especially to cold water and they always do an amazing job of checking in with me during a cleaning or a procedure. The staff is always very friendly, the dental hygienists take their time and give great recommendations, and the dentists are really knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend anybody come to their office but especially if they have sensitive teeth.

Norfolk Dental is the best dental practice I’ve been to in the Hampton Roads area. From the moment you walk through the door, the front desk staff makes you feel welcome. Every hygienist I’ve had has been incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely fun to talk to. They do everything they can to make your visit as comfortable and painless as possible, especially if you’re someone who gets nervous about dental appointments or doesn’t enjoy having your teeth cleaned. The entire office has such a relaxed, friendly atmosphere that it actually makes going to the dentist enjoyable. Dr. D is absolutely wonderful. She’s warm, personable, and has a great sense of humor, with a calm, laid-back demeanor that immediately puts you at ease. My entire family has switched to this practice, and every visit has been a positive experience. For the first time in my life, I actually look forward to going to the dentist!
