Lake-community dentistry, calmly done.

Westlake Dental Center sits at Westlake Corner on Booker T Washington Highway, the heart of life on the Hardy side of Smith Mountain Lake. It is the corner you pass on the way to the marina, the corner you stop at on the way home from Roanoke, and the corner where year-round neighbors and seasonal families share the same coffee line on Saturday morning.

Your dentist should fit that life — not pull you out of it. That is the brief we built this practice around: clinical work that meets the modern standard, scheduling that respects your weekends on the water, and a chair-side experience that feels like a conversation more than a procedure.

You will find no waiting-room hustle here. No upsell scripts. Quiet operatories with a view of pine and pasture, modern imaging and treatment-planning technology, and a team that takes the time to explain what is happening, why, and what comes next. The lake teaches patience. We bring the same pace to your dental care.

Dr. Willis leads Westlake Dental Center and the broader Willis Dentistry network of Virginia practices. He founded that network on a single conviction: that high-quality, modern dentistry should feel personal at every chair, in every town it serves.

That means in-house specialty work — implants, non-surgical root canals, Invisalign, full-arch restoration — so you finish your care here, with the team you already know, instead of being handed off across the region. It means treatment plans explained in plain English. And it means a practice where the first answer is rarely “we need to refer you out.”
