Convenient Access from Chamberlayne
Players, coaches and sideline parents who need a dentist near Chamberlayne can reach Glen Allen Dental Arts in about 17 minutes, and the whole drive stays on surface streets. Our office is on Springfield Road in Glen Allen, toward the western side of Henrico County, where Dr. Lana Qaqish and Dr. Michelle Park look after patients of every age. Custom mouthguards, repairs for chipped teeth, routine cleanings and crowns all happen under one roof.
Begin at Capital Park, the county athletic park at 6900 Wilkinson Road, and head west on Wilkinson Rd. Turn north for a short stretch on Brook Rd (US 1), then swing west onto E Parham Rd, the arterial most residents already use to cross the county. A quick jog north on Woodman Rd puts you on Hungary Rd, which carries you west for close to four miles.
Hungary Rd ends at Springfield Rd (VA 157), where a left turn south brings you to 3950 Springfield Rd, Glen Allen, VA 23060. Altogether the trip covers a little over 9 miles, with no interstate and no tolls along the way. Open our Google Maps listing for turn-by-turn directions from your own street. Patients setting out from Lakeside or Atlee will find directions written for their starting point on those pages.
A Steady Dental Home for Chamberlayne Neighbors
Chamberlayne is a largely residential census-designated place just north of Richmond, home to a diverse and long-settled community. Chamberlayne Road (US 301 and VA 2) runs north and south through the middle of it, while I-95, E Parham Rd and Wilkinson Rd cut across. Richmond Raceway, the NASCAR short track on E Laburnum Ave, sits nearby just south of the community. East Highland Park borders the area as well.
That road grid matters when you choose a dentist. Because Parham Rd already links Chamberlayne to the western half of the county, getting to our office feels like an ordinary errand rather than a trek. Our doctors keep one chart for the whole household, so a parent, a teenager on a travel team and a grandparent can all be seen by the same two dentists over the years.
Our schedule runs Monday through Thursday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and the office is closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday. An early slot lets a parent finish a checkup and still make the morning shift. A late-afternoon opening gives student athletes time to get out of class before practice starts.
A first visit starts with a conversation about what brings you in, followed by a cleaning, an exam and digital x-rays that appear on screen almost instantly. Our dentists show you the images on the monitor before suggesting anything. If a treatment can wait, they say so, and if it cannot, you will know why. That clarity makes it easier to plan care around school calendars and league seasons.
What Chamberlayne Athletes and Their Families Should Know
Capital Park is one of the athletic parks listed in the Henrico parks directory, and its fields stay busy with league games and practices. Contact sports, a stray ball or a fall on hard ground can chip a front tooth or knock one loose in a second. A properly fitted mouthguard is the simplest protection, and our family dentistry service makes sports mouthguards for children, teens and adults who still play.
A guard molded to your own teeth stays in place better than a generic tray, which makes it easier to talk, breathe and keep wearing through a whole game. Bring it to each checkup so we can look for cracks, thinning or a fit that no longer matches a growing mouth. Kids usually outgrow a guard faster than parents expect.
Grown players need the same protection. Pickup basketball, softball and martial arts break their share of adult teeth, yet many Chamberlayne adults who play skip a guard entirely. Clenching hard under effort also wears enamel over the years, and a guard or a nightguard helps limit that damage.
Younger players pick up other habits along with their gear. Sports drinks and sticky snacks between games bathe the teeth in sugar for hours, and molars with deep grooves hold onto it. Sealants and fluoride treatment, both part of our family dentistry, add protection while brushing skills catch up. Plain water between innings or halves makes a real difference.
Accidents still happen. When a tooth is knocked out, pick it up by the crown rather than the root, keep it moist in milk or saliva, and call us right away. New patients can book our $59 Emergency Exam & X-Ray, which is for new patients only and includes a focused exam, any needed x-rays and treatment recommendations. We strive to fit you into our schedule when something breaks.
Not every household carries dental coverage, and that should not push cleanings off the calendar. Our in-house Wellness Plan covers two cleanings a year for one annual fee, along with the exams and radiographs at those preventive visits. Members also receive discounts on treatment such as fillings, crowns and implants, which helps if a game-day injury needs repair later.
How a Dentist Near Chamberlayne Can Help On and Off the Field
Family Dentistry
Sports mouthguards, sealants, fluoride treatment, cleanings and oral cancer screenings for players of every age. Adults who clench during the night can get a nightguard through the same service, so one appointment can cover more than one need.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Bonding can rebuild the corner of a front tooth chipped by an elbow or a fly ball. Opalescence® teeth whitening is also available, and each cosmetic plan considers your lip line, bite and facial features.
Restorative Dentistry
Color-matched fillings, root canal therapy, extractions, bridges, dentures and partials. When an impact cracks a tooth deeper than the enamel, our doctors look first for a way to keep it.
Same-Day Crowns
A back tooth that splits needs full coverage, and Planmeca PlanScan® lets us scan, design and mill the crown in the office. It goes on in a single visit, with no temporary to protect between appointments.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Glen Allen Dental Arts from Chamberlayne, and how do I get there?
Our office is a little over 9 miles from Chamberlayne, usually about 17 minutes by car. From Wilkinson Rd, follow Brook Rd briefly, then E Parham Rd, Woodman Rd and Hungary Rd west to Springfield Rd. Families after a dentist near Chamberlayne can make the whole trip without the interstate or a toll.
Is a custom-fitted mouthguard better than a store-bought one?
For most players, yes. A guard made from your own bite stays put during contact and tends to feel less bulky, so people actually keep it in. Store versions can help in a pinch, but they often fit loosely. Our family dentistry service makes sports mouthguards for kids, teens and adults, and we can check the fit at each cleaning.
What is the first thing to do when a permanent tooth is knocked out?
Find the tooth, handle it only by the crown, and phone us without delay. Rinse it gently without scrubbing, then try to set it back in the socket or keep it in milk. Reaching a dentist soon gives the tooth its best chance. New patients can use our $59 emergency exam and x-ray, which is offered to new patients only.
What counts as a dental emergency?
Severe tooth pain, a knocked-out or loosened adult tooth, a cracked tooth, swelling in the face or gums, and a lost crown all count. These problems tend to get worse with time. Call us as soon as you notice them, and we strive to fit you into our schedule. Minor sensitivity can usually wait for your next routine visit.
How many cleanings a year do most adults need?
Twice a year suits most adults, although some patients with gum concerns need visits more often. Regular cleanings remove hardened buildup that brushing cannot reach and let our dentists catch small problems early. Our Wellness Plan is built around that same rhythm, with two cleanings a year for patients who do not have insurance.
