About Us
Our Dental Care Philosophy
At Smile by Design of Virginia Beach, we do something that doesn’t happen often at most other dental offices: we listen. We take the time to get to know our patients as people so we can create the most comfortable and fulfilling experience possible. Everything is done with a gentle touch and plenty of laughter along the way. Just because we provide truly high quality dental care doesn’t mean we don’t like to have fun at the office! Our warm and welcoming environment will make you feel like you’re visiting old friends rather than taking a trip to the dentist.

Many Virginia Beach families are proud to call us their dental office home, and below, you can learn more about why so many patients are happy to visit us again and again. As you’ll see, we work hard to always put a smile on our patients' faces whether they are in or out of the dental chair. Our goal is to take the stress out of your dental care and give you the kind of smile that you’re always eager to show off!
Positive, Comfortable Dentistry
At the Virginia Beach dental office of Dr. Stephanie Santos and Dr. Vinita Folck, we think dentistry should be a positive experience. We listen to the concerns of our patients, use gentle approaches during treatments, and strive to create an anxiety-free, comfortable atmosphere for your dental care.
“I was instantly put at ease … during and after the procedure I felt absolutely no discomfort whatsoever.” ~ Melanie J.
Dental Care in a Relaxing Environment
Ever hear the saying, “Laughter is the best medicine?” Research has shown that laughter causes positive changes in brain chemistry by releasing endorphins and reducing the production of stress hormones. The team at Smile By Design of Virginia Beach loves to laugh with our patients!
