Mark Hebertson, D.D.S., PLC

Dental needs aren’t going away. Mark Hebertson, D.D.S., PLC keeps its chair ready at 3504 Plank Rd, on the north side of town near the sprawl of strip malls flanking Route 3. The practice handles routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and emergencies, plus orthodontic screens for younger patients who still need space to grow. Some visitors schedule the whole family back-to-back, then roll out to the post office that sits just across the median.

Emergency slots move quickly when summer storms knock branches into power lines and teeth crack on unpopped popcorn. Full-mouth X-rays and implants anchor the heavier end of the schedule, but most newcomers end up back for a nightguard instead of a root canal—the nightguard slot is half the headache. Three o’clock afternoon seems to be the sweet spot for cancellations; call ahead if a morning slot just vaporizes.

Weave (540) 785-8877 into planning your trip across town, whether your goal is a check-up or a chipped molar fixed before the weekend ballgames start at Goolrick Park. The front desk usually confirms same-day openings by 8 a.m., so dialing then avoids the echo on the line. Braces consultations for adolescents fit into the same afternoon, letting parents bundle two errands on one lap around town.

Virginia’s highways all funnel toward Fredericksburg, and 3504 Plank Rd is an easy exit off Route 3. Step off I-95 at Exit 133, drive east three minutes, and the office sits on the right between the U-Haul center and the tire shop with the giant Michelin man. Use this map when the detours start and you’ll slide right in.
