Our Mission and Beliefs

WHAT WE BELIEVE

Ethics

We believe that it is important to use the “golden rule” in all of our relationships in our practice. We treat you the same way we would treat our friends and family members. We will always be honest with you in all of our discussions about your dental condition and treatment solutions.

Health and Life Expectancy

We believe that healthy people live longer and therefore can enjoy life better than unhealthy people. Since studies show that you cannot be healthy if your mouth is unhealthy… and we have seen it in our own patients… we know that if your teeth and gums are healthy, you are more likely to be able to live 10-20 years longer.

Time

We believe that everyone’s time is valuable, so we see our patients on time and we expect our patients to respect our time.

Cost

We believe that today’s dentistry is ALWAYS less expensive than dentistry that will be done tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. We believe prevention is always less expensive than fixing more complex problems in the future. Therefore, we make dentistry affordable in our practice.

Our Beliefs

Aesthetics

We believe that an attractive smile can help you in your social life, your love life, your ability to be promoted and career advancement opportunities. Our patients tell us this all the time.

Comfort

We believe that in today’s modern dentistry, you can get your mouth healthy and keep your mouth healthy using comfortable techniques and technologies… so you don’t have to fear that you will have painful dental appointments in our practice. Our patients tell us that dentistry here is very comfortable.

Value

We believe that often times when services are sold at the cheapest price, they end up costing more in the long-term when they have to be re-done. So the cheapest doesn’t end up being the least expensive. We believe that when excellent quality is coupled with a fair fee, your long-term costs end up being a much better investment than paying low-cost fees and getting low-quality results.

Community and Diversity

We know that we are blessed to have the opportunity to serve patients in our community. We aim to treat a person from each country of the world and we even have a map on our wall to track the progress!

Technology

We believe in investing in technology that saves you time, saves you money, and reduces or eliminates potential problems in the future.

My husband and I changed dentists several years ago when our long-time dentist retired. Dr. Murchie was recommended to us by a friend. We are extremely satisfied with Goochland Denistry. Dr. Murchie is the ultimate professional with an excellent chair side manner. I would highly recommend he and his staff if you are in the market for a dentist.
