About Oceanfront Dentistry - Drs. White & Heffelfinger
Same-day in-office crown milling means a finished crown in about an hour, with no temporary while you wait.
Oceanfront Dentistry is a general dental practice that also offers Invisalign, though most reviews focus on routine and restorative dental care. Reviews frequently mention in-house crown milling that lets patients leave with a finished crown the same day rather than returning for a permanent one. Many reviews describe Drs. Heffelfinger and White as unhurried and communicative, checking in with patients during procedures and catching problems early enough to avoid extra numbing or drilling. A recurring theme among nervous patients is a calming, reassuring approach, such as counting down before pausing a procedure.

They are the nicest people. Took me right away and set me up to get fixed
Dr Heff and is staff are more than 5 stars!! Best dentist in Virginia Beach!! Professional, kind, caring, listens to patients needs. Hygienist Angue is great too. All staff are above 5 stars!!
Very accessible and the staff are friendly and well informed. Needed an urgent appointment and was seen the same day. Definitely would recommend
Morgan is the best hygienist! She’s easy to talk to and answer questions when you’re in there and is very gentle! Thank you, Morgan
I had a very frustrating and confusing experience at Oceanfront Dentistry. I went in for what was supposed to be a routine cleaning, but was told they refused to provide a regular cleaning because I allegedly needed a “deep laser cleaning” that would cost around $500. They claimed that performing a normal cleaning instead would somehow be considered insurance fraud, which felt very misleading and didn’t make much sense. The whole situation felt like a push toward an expensive procedure that I wasn’t confident I actually needed. Wanting a second opinion, I visited RB Comprehensive Dentistry — and the difference was night and day. Dr. Ellorin and Stephanie were outstanding, extremely professional, and transparent. After a thorough exam, they confirmed that the costly $500 deep cleaning was completely unnecessary, and I received a normal cleaning without any issues. I left feeling relieved but also disappointed by my initial experience. I would strongly recommend being cautious and getting a second opinion if you are told you need expensive treatments right away. Save yourself the stress and consider going to RB Comprehensive Dentistry on Laskin Rd — you won’t regret it.
