Charlottesville's Top-Rated Dental Practice

  • I love this practice! I just moved from RI 3 weeks ago and the day before yesterday I found myself in the middle of a dental emergency, I called the office and they took me, sight unseen on the same day. So professional, so kind and caring. If there were 10 stars to choose from, I would choose all 10. Thanks to everyone at Swett Dentistry!

  • This was my first visit to Swett Dentistry as I have recently relocated here. The very friendly staff at the front desk made check-in easy. I was taken on-time and Jeannie was my dental hygienist and she was terrific - very knowledgeable and engaging. After that, I saw Dr. David Swett and he was also very engaging and helpful. Glad I chose Swett Dentistry as my dental team in Charlottesville!!

  • Since my children were young, they would come with me to my office visits and play in the waiting area with the fun toys. Once they began having their own appointments, it was never scary for them. Along with their staff, David and Rebecca were always gentle, comforting and actually made the cleaning fun. Now that I have teenagers, office visits continue to be pleasant experiences for the whole family. We love David and Rebecca Swett and think they are the best!

  • Our entire family have been patients of David and Rebecca Swett for many years. Both Dr. David and Dr. Rebecca have provided caring attention and kept both of our children cavity free! The hygienists always remember us and are friendly and professional. When we have to have a special procedure, we know that both Dr. David and Dr. Rebecca will take the extra time to make sure we are comfortable and relaxed. They even offer Bose noise-cancelling headphones if the work is a little noisy. From root canals to crowns to regular cleanings and x-rays, we always feel that we are getting top-notch service from the best dentists in town.

  • Being one who does not like go to either the doctor or dentist, I was somewhat of a skeptic when my wife told me how great Drs. David and Rebecca Swett treated her. I have now been a patient for over three years and my wife was right. Every experience has resulted in not only first class preventive treatment but true professionalism mixed with a friendly and caring staff. In my 50 plus years of dental treatment, I have never experienced better treatment, been so informed on prevention and enjoyed the time spent with the great staff and David and Rebecca.
