Formerly Thomas Trow DDS now KAC Dental

The stretch of Forest Hill Avenue near KAC Dental stays quiet compared to Richmond’s busier corridors, but dental offices don’t need foot traffic to thrive. This practice—previously operating as Thomas Trow DDS—keeps its focus on general and preventive care, handling everything from routine cleanings to fillings without the fanfare of specialty clinics. The address, 1974 7834 Forest Hill Ave suite 1, places it just far enough from downtown to avoid the congestion but close enough to remain convenient for Southside residents.

Dental work isn’t the kind of service people seek out for ambiance, and that’s fine—what matters is whether the practice covers the basics without unnecessary upsells. Here, that means standard exams, X-rays, and the occasional crown or bridgework. No spa-like amenities, no promises of “pain-free” procedures (because let’s be honest, no one actually believes those). Just a straightforward office where the priority is keeping teeth functional, not Instagram-worthy.

Forest Hill isn’t a neighborhood that draws tourists, which suits a place like this. The surrounding area leans residential, with a mix of mid-century homes and low-key commercial strips. You won’t find trendy cafés or boutique shops nearby, but you will find a dental office that doesn’t pretend to be anything other than what it is. For anyone who’d rather not deal with the hassle of downtown parking or the impersonal feel of larger chains, this corner of the city offers an alternative.

If you’re mapping it out, the directions are simple—just watch for the suite number. Questions about appointments or services? The phone is (804) 272-2205. No need to overcomplicate it.
