Dr. Eddie S. Longman, DDS

Dentists in Old Town Alexandria tend to cluster near the river, but the ones tucked into side streets often feel less like assembly lines. Dr. Eddie S. Longman, DDS fits that pattern—operating out of a small unit at 1421 Prince St UNIT 140, Alexandria, VA 22314. The address puts them a block from the main drag, where the sidewalks narrow and the storefronts trade neon for brick. Routine cleanings, fillings, and crowns are handled in-house, and they also offer root canals and extractions when things get more involved.

Most patients find the place through word of mouth or a quick search for something close to home. The office handles emergencies, too, though you’ll want to call ahead if you’re dealing with sudden pain. They don’t advertise cosmetic work on their listing, but the basics—whitening, bonding—are part of the menu. The setup is typical for the area: a single-story building with a few other small businesses sharing the lot, so parking is whatever you can snag on the street.
