About

We are excited that you have taken the first step towards your oral health and overall wellness. Purple Plum Dentistry is pleased to offer you a team of outstanding professionals who are focused on you, your comfort, and earning your trust.

We understand that choosing a dentist is very personal and can be a difficult, oftentimes frustrating experience. Here in Falls Church, our dental office was founded on the belief that we can work closely with our patients in order to share valuable information, provide vital education, and play a vital role in their overall health and wellbeing instead of providing basic dental repairs. Simply put, we can and must do more. By taking this comprehensive approach, we are not only elevating the oral healthcare field, but even saving lives in many cases. We’d love to show you how during an initial consultation.
