Convenient Access from Manakin-Sabot
Glen Allen Dental Arts is roughly 18 minutes east of the villages of Manakin and Sabot, which makes us a practical dentist near Manakin-Sabot for anyone who would rather finish dental work in fewer trips. Our office is on Springfield Road in Glen Allen, a short way past the Henrico line, and Dr. Lana Qaqish and Dr. Michelle Park treat adults, teens and children there. Crowns milled while you wait and implants planned from a 3D scan keep the number of separate visits down.
Set out from Goochland Fire-Rescue Station 1 - Manakin at 180 River Rd W and drive east on VA 6. Where River Road peels off to the south, VA 6 carries on as Patterson Avenue, passes the cloverleaf with VA 288 and crosses Tuckahoe Creek into Henrico. Turn left onto Gaskins Rd (VA 157) and stay on it heading north for a little over four miles.
At the end of that stretch, a right turn onto Springfield Rd brings you to 3950 Springfield Rd, Glen Allen, VA 23060. Count on about 10.6 miles door to door, almost all of it on two roads, with no interstate and no tolls. Our listing on Google Maps will route you from any address in the community. Directions from Centerville and Short Pump live on their own pages.
Fewer Trips, Well-Planned Care for Manakin-Sabot
Manakin-Sabot is an unincorporated community in eastern Goochland County made up of two villages, Manakin and Sabot, set in the Piedmont northwest of Richmond. French Huguenot refugees settled the area around 1700 on land granted by King William III. Today it is known for established homes on spacious properties. Nearby stands Tuckahoe, the Randolph plantation and National Historic Landmark whose schoolhouse once taught a young Thomas Jefferson.
Living out here usually means planning errands rather than dashing out for them. A dental visit that needs a second appointment two weeks later costs another round trip down VA 6 and Gaskins Rd. Our office is set up to avoid that whenever it can, with imaging, design and milling equipment on site.
We see patients Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM; Friday through Sunday the office is closed. Booking a crown or implant consultation for the morning leaves the rest of the day free for work on the property or a drive into Henrico for other errands.
Commuters from Manakin-Sabot who work along I-64 have another option, since VA 288 links VA 6 to the interstate. Either way, the office is easy to slot in on the way to or from work. Patients who care for an aging parent can often book that parent right after their own visit.
Tooth Replacement Choices Manakin-Sabot Adults Often Weigh
A tooth with a large, aging filling eventually reaches a point where another patch will not hold. At that stage a crown usually protects what is left. With Planmeca PlanScan®, our doctors capture a digital impression, design the crown on screen and mill it in the office. You leave with the permanent crown the same day, not a temporary and a second appointment on the calendar.
When a tooth is already missing, an implant is often the closest thing to a natural replacement. Every implant we place is fully guided. A CBCT scan maps the bone, nerves and sinuses in three dimensions, and that data is used to make a custom 3D-printed surgical guide that directs the implant to the planned position.
A missing back tooth matters more than it seems. Once a molar is gone, the neighboring teeth can drift into the space and the tooth above it can lengthen, which slowly changes your bite. Replacing it sooner keeps chewing even and makes the area easier to clean.
The same guided approach works for one tooth, several teeth or a full arch. Implant-supported crowns, bridges and dentures are all possible, and our team can show you the scan and the plan before anything starts. Patients who already wear a lower denture that slips often ask whether implants can steady it, and the CBCT scan shows how much bone is available to hold them. You can read more about the scanners and imaging on our advanced technology page.
Not every case calls for surgery. Bonding can rebuild a chipped edge, and a well-fitted partial can still be the right choice for some adults. Our dentists lay out the trade-offs of each option in plain language.
Comfort matters on longer visits too. An iTero® scanner and digital impressions replace the putty trays many Manakin-Sabot adults remember from years past, and digital x-rays expose you to less radiation than film. Our team explains each step before it happens, so nothing about a crown or implant appointment comes as a surprise.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Glen Allen Dental Arts from Manakin-Sabot, and how do I get there?
We are about 10.6 miles from Manakin-Sabot, typically an 18-minute drive. Head east on VA 6 (River Rd W, then Patterson Avenue), turn north on Gaskins Rd and finish on Springfield Rd. That makes us a dentist near Manakin-Sabot you can reach without the interstate or any tolls.
Will I need a temporary crown while my new one is made?
No, not when you choose a same-day crown. We take a digital impression with Planmeca PlanScan®, design the crown on screen and mill it in our office during your appointment. The finished crown is placed before you leave, so there is no temporary to chip or lose and no second visit just to swap it out.
What does a CBCT scan show before implant surgery?
A CBCT scan shows the bone, nerves and sinuses in three dimensions, which a flat x-ray cannot. Our dentists use it to choose the implant position and to build a custom 3D-printed surgical guide. The scan itself takes under a minute, and the guide then directs the implant to its planned position.
Should a large old filling be replaced with a crown?
Often, yes, once a filling takes up most of the tooth or the tooth around it has cracked. A crown covers and strengthens what remains, while another large filling may not hold for long. Our doctors check the tooth with an exam and digital x-rays first, and a smaller tooth-colored filling is sometimes still enough.
Will I know what my insurance pays before treatment begins?
Yes, you get a detailed breakdown of costs and expected coverage before we start. Our team works with a multitude of insurance providers and processes your claims to help you receive your maximum benefits. If a balance remains, Cherry Financing, major credit cards, cash and checks are all options for covering it.
