Augusta County· Shenandoah Valley · I-81 Corridor
Your Augusta County Dentist
Shenandoah Dental Center is the Augusta County family dental practice on I-81 — serving Weyers Cave, Verona, Fishersville, Stuarts Draft, Crimora, Fort Defiance, and every community along the central Valley.
Augusta County is the second-largest county in Virginia by area, and many residents have a dentist a long drive away. We're right on I-81 in Weyers Cave — usually 15 to 25 minutes from anywhere in the county, including the towns south of Staunton, the Fishersville/Waynesboro corridor, and the rural communities to the west. Open all five weekdays, bilingual, and accepting new patients.
Central to the county
On I-81 at Exit 235, midway between Staunton and Harrisonburg. Reach us from Verona, Fishersville, Stuarts Draft, Crimora, and Fort Defiance in under 25 minutes.
Long-tenured patients
Many Augusta County families have been with the practice for years. We know the rhythms of farm life, school schedules, and shift work — and we book accordingly.

Atención dental bilingüe para todas las comunidades del condado — desde Stuarts Draft hasta Crimora y más allá.
Open all 5 weekdays
Mon–Fri 8 AM – 5 PM. We don't close early on Friday — useful for end-of-week appointments or school pickup runs.
One office for every community in the county
Augusta County stretches from the Blue Ridge to the Allegheny foothills, and we see families from each corner of it every week. From Verona, you're eight minutes north on I-81 — Exit 227 to Exit 235. From Fishersville, take Route 608 to Tinkling Spring Road, merge at Exit 222, and you're here in eighteen minutes flat. From Stuarts Draft, Route 340 connects you to I-64 West and I-81 North in about twenty-two minutes. From Crimora, the surface route on Route 256 is the quickest play — fifteen minutes through Mount Sidney and into Weyers Cave. From Fort Defiance and the Augusta Military Academy area, Route 11 lands you in our parking lot in under twelve minutes.
Patients from Mount Solon, Churchville, and West Augusta usually find Route 250 and Route 262 east into town the cleanest run. From Greenville and the southern end of the county, I-81 north from Exit 213 is twenty minutes door-to-door.
A practice that knows farm-and-shift schedules
Augusta County still runs on agriculture, manufacturing at the Hershey plant in Stuarts Draft, healthcare at Augusta Health, and the dozen small towns and family farms in between. Our open Friday and 8 AM start time were built for that. If you milk in the morning or run a job site, we can usually fit a cleaning before 9. If you teach in Riverheads, Stuarts Draft, Buffalo Gap, or Fort Defiance, we'll book you between bell schedules. And the Spanish-speaking community across Stuarts Draft, Crimora, and the eastern county can run an entire visit in Spanish, paperwork to consent forms.
For uninsured residents — and there are plenty across the county's farms, small businesses, and contracting trades — the Virginia Dental Club covers cleanings, exams, and X-rays for one flat annual fee. No deductibles, no claim forms, no waiting periods.
