VCU School of Dentistry is well represented in the latest edition of Richmond magazine’s list of Top Dentists. Each July, Richmond magazine publishes an annual list celebrating the region’s most outstanding dental professionals, as selected by their peers in an annual survey.

This year, dental professionals were selected in 18 specialty categories, from general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, orthodontics, dental hygienists and more. The large representation of faculty and alumni present is a reflection of the specialty training and emphasis on clinical excellence for which VCU School of Dentistry is renowned.

Not only are VCU School of Dentistry faculty members dedicated to teaching our next generation of dental professionals, many of them also provide care in the school’s Faculty Practice, specialty clinics and in private practice.

Several VCU faculty were honored as Top Dentists in their respective specialties:

• Dr. Sarah Glass – Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology, Oral Cancer, Other Oral Conditions and Diseases
• Dr. Aniket Jadhav – Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology
• Dr. Shawn McMahon – Pain Management
• Dr. Karen S. McAndrew – Prosthodontics

“The overwhelming presence of VCU School of Dentistry faculty and alumni on the list is a testament to the impact the school has throughout the Richmond community and across the commonwealth of Virginia,” said Lyndon Cooper, D.D.S., Ph.D., dean of the VCU School of Dentistry. “Congratulations to all of the Top Dentists serving our community.”

As the only dental school in Virginia, VCU School of Dentistry alumni also play an essential role in preserving and improving the oral health of all Virginians. Through dedication and outstanding care for patients, our alumni and faculty are leaders in their communities.

Dozens of VCU alumni were also highlighted on this list. See all of the 2023 Top Dentists on Richmond magazine.
