About Elrod & Dunham Dentistry

Longtime patients still drive many miles to see Dr. Baum's decades-long gentle care, even as Dr. Cooper Tyree now leads day-to-day treatment.

Elrod & Dunham Dentistry is a general dental practice in Richmond that also offers Invisalign and TMJ treatment alongside routine care. Reviews describe decades of gentle cleanings with little discomfort under Dr. James N. Baum, with Dr. Cooper Tyree now taking over as primary dentist and continuing to explain findings and options in detail. The office recently moved into a newer Carytown space with updated equipment, and several reviews mention same-day fixes for chipped teeth or broken crowns. A handful of reviews note changes since a broader ownership shift, including billing and front-desk issues.

“

I have been a patient here for about 15 years. Through lots of time and change, they have been consistent in their care and quality of service. I started as a patient of Dr. Baum, but since his retirement have been with Dr. Tyree for a couple of years, and he is equally as knowledgeable, professional and personable. The hygienists are fantastic. The new carytown space is beautiful, but what’s important to me is that the personality and approach of their providers remains the same. Happy to be a patient here!

Had a good first visit here. They filled a cavity with absolutely no pain, and even were kind enough to use the child sized x-ray bite for my little mouth. Will return/have a next visit scheduled for a cleaning and more comprehensive work up.

This was the best experience I have ever had with a dental office. The staff was kind, patient, and took the time to listen and understand my history and concerns. The dentist made a plan for my care, answered questions and he and his staff worked together to be up front about costs which helped me to make informed decisions about my care. I was thoroughly impressed and I highly recommend Dr. Tyree and his staff.
