Dear Patients, Family, and Friends,
For almost 30 years, Swett Dentistry has had the privilege of caring for all of your beautiful smiles, and we are deeply grateful for the trust you’ve placed in us over the years. It has been an honor to serve you and your family, and you will always hold a special place in our hearts.
After much thought and reflection, David and I have decided that it is time for us to spend more time with our family, especially our children, Evan and Rosalie. While Evan and Rosalie are off pursuing exciting careers in computer engineering and psychology, they did not choose to follow us into the field of dentistry. So, after carefully considering the future of our practice, we are excited to share that we have found the perfect person to join our practice and take care of you and your smile: Dr. Joshua Gordon.
We’ve had the pleasure of getting to know Dr. Gordon over the past year, and we are excited to welcome him into our practice. His philosophy of patient care and his commitment to providing exceptional treatment align perfectly with the values we’ve built here at Swett Dentistry. Dr. Gordon comes to us with outstanding reviews, a warm, caring heart, and a passion for dentistry that will undoubtedly resonate with you. We know that you will love him!
Dr. Gordon is an alumnus of the University of Virginia, a graduate of VCU Dental school and after practicing in Richmond, he is excited to return to Charlottesville with his lovely fiancé, Lucy and put down roots in this wonderful community. After his time at VCU, Dr. Gordon completed a 1-year residency at the VA Hospital in Dallas, Texas where he gained experience in comprehensive dentistry, implants, and surgery. Since, Dr. Gordon has been practicing in Richmond gaining a reputation as an excellent clinician across all areas of dentistry. We are confident you will appreciate his expertise, and we’re thrilled to learn from him as we continue to work together to bring you the latest advancements in dental care.
In addition to Dr. Gordon, we are pleased to let you know that David and I will continue to work at the practice alongside Dr. Gordon, as will our wonderful staff. Our goal is to make this transition as smooth as possible for you, as you all mean so much to us. Dr. Gordon is eager to return to Charlottesville to make it his forever home and build lasting relationships with our patients. We are confident that you will welcome him with open arms.
Thank you again for your continued support and trust in us. We are excited for the future of Swett Dentistry and the care Dr. Gordon will provide for you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions, and we look forward to seeing you at your next visit.
With gratitude and warm regards,
Drs. Rebecca and David Swett

Invisalign is the virtually invisible way to straighten your teeth without braces, using a series of clear, removable aligners to straighten your teeth without metal wires or brackets. You wear each set of clear aligners for about two weeks, removing them to eat, drink, brush, and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next in the series, your teeth will move – little by little, week by week – until they have straightened to the final position. You’ll visit us about once every six weeks to ensure your treatment progresses as planned. Total treatment time averages 9-15 months, and the average number of aligners worn during treatment is between 18 and 30, but both will vary from case to case.
We use 3D computer imaging technology to demonstrate the complete treatment plan from the initial position to the final desired position. This 3D model is used to generate a series of custom-made aligners. The patient wears the aligners for about two weeks while the teeth move incrementally. After two weeks, the current aligner is replaced with the next one until the final position is achieved.
A proud mother of two - Evan and Rosalie - and a true lover of family, Dr. Rebecca cares for all of her patients and her TEAM as if they are family. Drs. David & Rebecca met in dental school at the Medical College of Virginia. After graduation, they decided to return to Dr. David’s hometown of Charlottesville in 1995. Dr. Rebecca began her professional career as a dental hygienist receiving her Bachelor of Science degree in Dental Hygiene at Old Dominion University in 1986. After practicing dental hygiene for four years, Dr. Rebecca made a return to dental school at the Medical College of Virginia after having received her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree in 1994 and furthered her education at the University of Connecticut Health Center.
Dr. Rebecca’s dentistry reflects her personality- thoughtful, thorough, and creative. She loves getting to know her patients and feels the best way to care for them is by including them in a thoughtful plan with similar goals in mind.
Dr. Rebecca is currently the Chairman of the Dental Advisory Committee for the Charlottesville Free Clinic and has served on the Board of the Charlottesville Free Clinic for the past 5 years. Dr. Rebecca enjoys skiing, camping, scuba diving, art, and any time she can be with her family.
Dr. David Swett, an avid Wahoo fan and proud father of Evan and Rosalie, attended St Anne’s Belfield in Charlottesville before studying at the University of Virginia, where he obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics. Dr. David received his DDS degree in 1994 from the Medical College of Virginia School of Dentistry then furthered his education and training by completing a General Practice Residency at the Pittsburgh Medical Center in Pennsylvania. He then whisked his bride to Charlottesville to start Swett Dentistry in 1996.
Dr. David enjoys providing excellent dental care to his patients as conservatively as possible. He believes patient education is paramount in helping his patients decide on the best course of treatment for their particular needs. Dr. David has a warm smile, and it is apparent that everyone that comes in contact with him feels that genuine warmth and kindness.
Dr. David has been a free clinic volunteer dentist since 2000 and has served on the board of directors from 2006 to 2012. He is on the Board of Deacons at First Presbyterian Church in Charlottesville. Dr. David loves to hike, camp, ski, play cards, cheer on those ‘Hoos, and spend time with family and friends.
