Dentists along Richmond Highway serve a mix of long-time Alexandria residents and commuters who pass through the corridor daily. Natalie Heaivilin operates a practice in this stretch, where routine checkups and more involved procedures keep the schedule steady. The area’s blend of strip malls and standalone offices means parking is usually a matter of pulling into the lot—no circling for spots like in denser parts of the city.

General dentistry covers the basics here, from cleanings and fillings to crowns and bridges, with the occasional emergency slot for a cracked tooth or lost filling. Some patients arrive for cosmetic work, while others stick to preventative visits that wrap up before lunch. The address, 6677 Richmond Hwy Alexandria, VA 22306, places it just south of the Beltway, where the highway widens and the pace feels slightly less frantic than closer to Old Town.

Booking an appointment means calling (703) 535-5568, and first-timers might want to glance at the map to confirm which plaza it’s in—some of the signage along this stretch blends into the background after a while. The practice doesn’t advertise weekend hours, so weekdays are the safest bet for getting in.
