Welcome
STRESS-FREE EXPERIENCE WITH DENTIST IN HENRICO, VA
At Evolve we strive to blend the old with the new by blending historically successful techniques and materials with modern technology to deliver our community excellence in dentistry.
Amidst an ever-changing world of corporate takeover and misleading marketing, it is becoming harder and harder to tell quality from a knock-off. Unfortunately, dentistry is no exception. Cheaper glues, foreign materials, unknown shipping and storing, and after-market products make it more challenging to ensure you are getting what you paid for, and receiving a lasting and quality product.
We strive to practice ‘real dentistry.’ What we mean by that, is trying to save teeth vs hastily pulling the dental rip-cord with a “just do an extraction and implant.” Implants are an amazing solution, however, still do not have as good of a long-term prognosis as a properly treated AND RESTORED root-canaled tooth.
We believe in giving you a voice in your dental care. Whether you’re dealing with a minor issue or a major dental problem, we’ll work together to find a solution that fits your comfort level. Our goal is to make sure you feel relaxed and confident throughout your treatment, knowing you’re in control every step of the way.
Our approach is centered on educating our patients and working as a team to ensure that your time in the chair is minimized. This means providing efficient, high-quality care that not only saves you time but also delivers a smile you can be proud of.

What We Offer
Amazing Staff
Dr. Oliver is known for his friendly approach and making even the most nervous patients feel at ease. He’s detail-oriented and a bit of a perfectionist, so you know you’re getting the best care possible.
Our team is always adapting to give you the latest and greatest in dental care. We’ve got a hygienist with 40+ years of experience, a dental assistant with 20 years under her belt, and an office manager who keeps everything running smoothly. Our friendly staff and therapy dogs make sure you feel at home.
Amazing Friends
A special highlight of our practice are the three friendly therapy dogs that visit the office each day. Dr. Oliver’s own dogs have been AKC trained as certified therapy dogs. These furry friends rotate through the office, taking turns providing comfort and helping to ease the anxiety often associated with dental visits every day. The dogs have become a beloved part of the practice, and many patients look forward to seeing them just as much as the dental team. It’s been a delightful addition to our office, making the experience more enjoyable for everyone.
