Fantastic experience: I finally completed my repair of my teeth that needed to be made whole. Commonwealth did a very good job and a complete professional procedure. What makes this dentist group so good are the people who work at Commonwealth. They really make you feel like they care about you. Thank you. Follow up: Again it is the people who make a difference.

Fantastic experience: May update: here I am again. This time it’s for a cleaning. Rachel is patient, professional and thorough. April update: here we go again. Another 5 star rating ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️. You can not go wrong with Dr Shaw and his crew Another update: you’d think they were paying me for the positive reviews, but that’s not the case. This place is amazing! Dr. Shaw, Jocelyn, Wendy, everyone. I have one more visit, and I’ll be done with my dental treatment plan. I can’t begin to express how terrified I am of dental work. I’ve had horrible experiences, but I’m so thankful for this place. Update: still pleased with the dental services received at this location. Update: as of March 2026 - I still am happy with Dr Shaw and his team! First crown ever but it was great experience. Quick turnaround. I recently had the most relaxing and positive experience at Commonwealth Dentistry, which I didn’t think was possible until now! From the moment I walked in, Chelsey greeted me with such a warm and friendly demeanor, immediately putting me at ease. Rachel was so professional and gentle during the cleaning and exam, explaining everything clearly and ensuring I felt comfortable every step of the way. I mean I felt that I known them all my life! Dr. Shaw was absolutely fantastic—thorough, skilled, and incredibly kind. He took the time to answer all my questions and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The team worked seamlessly together, creating an environment that felt calm and welcoming. I left feeling not only well cared for but also surprisingly relaxed! Highly recommend this amazing team for anyone looking for a top-notch dental experience.

Graham Howell Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Commonwealth Dentistry has taken care of me for 15 + years. Competent, friendly and up to date in every way.

Emma Lee Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Upfront, I was an emergency visit and they were so quick to bring me in. Quite seriously from phone call to chair was 2 hours. The desk staff was so helpful and kind, especially to someone who was terrified of dental care. The intake paperwork was very easy and straightforward, and I was moved to the chair quite quickly. Massive gratitude to the team that provided my care. The work was done with real care, again especially for someone in a lot of pain who was not eager for care. But they were so good and compassionate. Because of how smooth, caring and kind they were, I decided on the spot that Commonwealth Dentistry was going to become my dental office. They are the first dentists I've seen in over 40 years but I'm so glad (in the worst possible circumstances) to have found them. Addendum: 1/30/26 The team at this office continues to be amazing. They have taken someone who was physically terrified of dental visits and, on my most recent visit, actually was able to doze slightly during my procedure. I cannot say it clearly enough: if you need dental care, and especially if you are fearful of it, Dr. Shaw and his team are there for you. Further Addendum, 4/24/26 Across multiple visits for various needs, Dr Shaw and his team have shown amazing compassion. Thanks to their attentive care and great advice, I'm now a confident patient with good dental health. Anyone who needs dental care would be well-served to contact them.

Racheal Luna Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience, as someone who has not had the best experiences with dentist and was quoted a little over $1,400 somewhere else. The Mechanicsville location and their staff were amazing and so patient and knowledgeable. I walked out happy not only with the service but the plan and pricing for my work moving forward.

Fantastic experience: Been seeing Dr. Shaw and his team for routine visits and now invisalign too. It has been a wonderful experience with excellent attention to detail. Staff has always been punctual and knowledgable and accommodating. My teeth have never looked healthier or better!

Mike Harris Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I had an outstanding experience at commonwealth dentistry mechanicsville. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely caring. The entire team made me feel comfortable and at ease. What truly stood out was their dedication and compassion. Dr. Shaw, Jocelyn, and his staff stayed late to perform a root canal so I wouldn’t have to leave in pain. That level of commitment and care is rare. The procedure was handled with skill and gentleness, and everything was explained clearly. The office was clean, modern, and very organized. You can tell they genuinely care about their patients and go above and beyond to provide top-quality service. I highly recommend Commonwealth Dentistry to anyone looking for outstanding dental care.

twalt Dub Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I came to CD bc my long term dentist couldn’t fit me in for a missed appointment for another 6months. I was going to get a cleaning then get back in the books for my old dentist office . But CD had such great customer service and availability that I stayed and it’s closer . My most recent visit, the cleaning included a water and picking dual technique. It made my cleaning easier . Teeth felt so good, getting under that back side . I literally felt good. I do recommend to anyone . And the weighted vest , I almost fell asleep. In the summer I go to the ice cream shop as soon as I leave the dentist appointment . It’s right around the corner :)

Felipe Querimit Published on Google

Paul Long Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My experience at Commonwealth has been nothing short of fantastic- Dr. Shaw and his team and very courteous and accommodating. As someone who had not been to the dentist in many years due to fear from a bad experience, the entire Commonwealth team was very attentive and caring from the moment I walked through the door!

Kimberly Appenzeller Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I went to the office in Mechanicsville. Definitely up there in my top 3 dental visits. Great friendly staff all around, made me feel valued; very clean office as well. I had to bring my 6 year old niece with me and the staff entertained her while I was getting my exam to keep her from getting restless . If you’re looking for a dentist, go ahead and make your appointment.

Tia Cottrell Published on Google

Fantastic experience: This was my first appointment and all I can say is in all my years they are the best Dentist I've ever been too. Very professional and informative answered all my questions and were very honest. The equipment is state of the art as well. I've found my new dental home.

Derek Wolf Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Tooth hurts? Go see Dr. Shaw. Have anxiety issues and don't like going to the dentist? Go see Dr Shaw anywho. He and his entire staff are amazing and hold true to a stress free environment. I go there so often now that they even gave me my own reserved parking spot.

Renee Hill Published on Google

Fantastic experience: My 95 year old mother and I had a wonderful experience at Commonwealth Dentistry. The dental technician was kind and nurturing to my mother, and Dr. Shaw warmly welcomed us both before patiently and clearly walking us through our treatment options. I recommend this team highly!

Paul Frayle Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Dr. Shaw and the entire team at this practice enough. I've already been raving about my experience to friends and family but I have to do it here as well, in the hopes that someone who struggles with going to the dentist sees this and decides to give them a visit. I had an extreme fear and anxiety of going to the dentist, based on some pretty terrible visits to other dentists. It was so bad I had only gone to a dentist 5 times my entire life, and 4 of those were pretty much the worst experiences of my life. I came to the conclusion that I was the problem, and I was just really weak when it came to going to the dentist. I came to Commonwealth Dentistry because it's where my wife started going and she was very impressed with the entire practice, and after my first visit, I was as well. The office is clean and welcoming. The entire staff is professional and polite, and I just felt really safe and heard. Everyone listened when I explained my anxiety and no one brushed it off, which was the case I had experienced in the past. Needless to say, the ENTIRE staff, from top to bottom, was just really awesome. I could tell they just really care, and that's something that's hard to find nowadays. I've had a scaling and root planing, as well as 5 fillings done across 3 visits so far, and my dental anxiety is pretty much gone because of how comfortable they made me feel. I have a few more visits to finish all the work that needs to be done on my teeth, but I'm honestly looking forward to it. I went from refusing to go to the dentist, to looking forward to going back, that's how good these guys are. Thank you to everyone here, y'all are the best!

Fantastic experience: I was impressed as soon as I walked in! The receptionist was very professional and friendly, and the staff made me feel comfortable from start to finish. This was my first time visiting Commonwealth Dentistry for an emergency appointment, but after such a great experience, I'll definitely be switching to them as my regular dentist.

Drew Lawyer (Drew) Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Used to loath going to the dentist, but the people here have completely flipped my attitude. Let's be honest, nobody loves going to the dentist, but they make the whole experience much more bearable and dare I say, "fun". Rachel and Kelsey, in particular, are a hilarious, dynamic duo. They're both very friendly and genuinely caring and mindful of how you are doing as their patient. Couldn't recommend this place more to others who feel like they haven't found their one yet!

Michael Embrey Published on Google

Paul Bagnell Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Had a front tooth that’s been broken for awhile and I finally got the time to fix it and Doc Grant Shaw matched it to my other front tooth, so now the front of my mouth is symmetrical, and I can eat with the front of my mouth now, excellent work Doc!

John Dindinger Published on Google

Fantastic experience: First visit and I couldn’t be more favorably impressed. From my first phone call thru the appointment, cleaning and consultation with Dr. Shaw, everyone was warm and friendly while also being professional. The dental assistant, hygienist, and dentist all clearly talked thru their elements of the visit and managed my expectations throughout. I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience and am confident I’ve made a good choice. 5-stars / highly recommend! Update - second visit end of last week and it was a 5-star experience again. Was seated in the dental chair on time, most efficient and gentle cleaning EVER!!! Dr. Shaw saw me shortly after the cleaning was completed, checked me out and sent me on my way. If you're looking for a dentist, look no further. Couldn't recommend Commonwealth Dentistry more highly!!! *****

Fantastic experience: I needed work done on short notice and could not get in anywhere . I took a chance and went to Commonwealth Dentistry . They were able to get me in very quick and I was seen on time. The staff was very professional and friendly. Dr Woodard was awesome . She is very personable and friendly . She explained all my options to me and did not push a specific treatment . Together we came up with a plan and I am very happy with the results. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good practice and a dentist Thank you very much

Fantastic experience: I'll admit I do not care about going to a dentist office; however, I had a wonderful experience with this team - Kelsie, Taylor and Kamara. They treated me with respect and kindness and a lot of fun. For a first time patient, they were very calming. Kamara was especially helpful, thorough, and gentle. Dr Shaw was extremely knowledgeable. He also had a calming side to him when explaining my treatment and upcoming visits. Thank you all for a visit that will keep me coming back. Debbie Spicer

Fantastic experience: Wow. I have always a bit afraid of the dentist, but Commonwealth Dentistry was so different. Everyone in the office and staff in the back were outstanding. They were so nice. They explained everything they were doing, especially new things they had to check your teeth. I will admit I was not great at brushing my teeth, they never made me feel bad. They gave me and husband instructions what we need next and the cost so we can decide what we can do next and what we can do later. I would recommend them to anyone. Isabel and Doug Braswell

Jose Alvarez Published on Google

Fantastic experience: Yesterday, May the 6th, I went to Commonwealth for the cleaning of my teeth. I have been to the dentists many times in the last three years because of teeth that had many problems due to the neglect of themwhen I was growing up. Kemara cleaned my teeth as she has done several times in the past year. I can say that the tooth cleaning that I got yesterday from her was the best of my life. Kemara spent a very long time on my teeth and did an exhaustive and meticulous cleaning of them. Truly I was impressed. Then Dr Grant Shaw who is my dentist, and I must say an excellent one, came in and checked them out and gave a good report, which has not been the norm, because of so many teeth problems in the past. MY wife and I enjoy going to Commonwealth. Everybody is nice and professional. Autumn many times takes care of our appointments and she is funny and friendly I cannot recommend Commonwealth Dentistry enough. Jose Alvarez

Fantastic experience: Rachael is an excellent hygienist. Dr. Shaw appears to be very engaged as a dentist. I've been a patient at Commonwealth Dentistry for several years. I'm new to the office in Mechanicsville though, so I looks forward to many years of thorough care from both Rachael & Dr. Shaw.

Ellen Hall Published on Google

Negative experience: I took my 30 year old son with autism in for sedation dentistry. He had not seen a dentist for over a decade. We were taken back promptly which was nice. He had his xray and we were told the issue was his wisdom teeth and we'd have to schedule that with an oral surgeon. We should have left at that point, but I figured once we were there we might as well stay. The anesthesiologist put him under and I left the room. During the 2 hours he was back there I was called back to show my credit card and pay 3 different times. We had agreed that they would fill any cavities but the second time I went back I was told we would have to come back for one of the fillings and asked to sign papers for that. When I asked why they said it MIGHT need a root canal. But it might not? I asked. I did not think I could get my son to come back and I wanted that done so I pushed. It did not need a root canal. I was then called back a third time to give my credit card. At the end, while my 200 pound son was still barely coming out of the anesthesia, they pulled a wheel chair up to him and put him in it. At that point the anesthesiologist asked for my credit card again and charged me in 10 minute increments. They drove him out to the car and I had to lift him in. He was not given a chance to wake up. I wasn't given the opportunity to wait an find out if he was ok. We were just shuttled away. I'm sure the work they did was excellent. I'm sure the cost was standard. I'm sure the protocol was normal, but it all felt very uncomfortable and somewhat rude. Like a money making assembly line. My son was scared of the process to start with and after this he won't return.

Fantastic experience: As someone new to the area, finding a trustworthy dentist was a top priority for me. Commonwealth Dentistry exceeded all my expectations and truly made me feel welcome from the moment I walked through the door. Their seamless use of technology—whether it’s for scheduling appointments, setting reminders, or completing paperwork—made the entire process effortless and stress-free. The team’s commitment to patient care and understanding was evident in every interaction. From the warm smiles at the front desk and checkout to the personalized attention I received during my visit, it’s clear that everyone at Commonwealth Dentistry is dedicated to solving your dental concerns and accommodating your needs. A special thank you to Rachel, my Hygienist, Ms. Allison (last name) Assistant to Hygienist, and Dr. Shaw for their professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. The practice is impeccably clean, and the environment feels modern yet inviting perfect for anyone seeking a forward-thinking dental experience. I wholeheartedly recommend Commonwealth Dentistry to anyone looking for exceptional care in a welcoming and innovative setting.

Fantastic experience: The ENTIRE staff was.so polite and friendly. The Dentist was so kind and professional, in all my years of going to the dentist I’ve NEVER had a Dentist spend more than 90 seconds with me. The office is decorated very nice and very clean. They have the most update equipment. 10 out of 10 I would DEFINITELY RECOMMEND.

Fantastic experience: I had a pleasant experience with the Commonwealth Dentistry office in Mechanicsville, from start to finish. The cleaning staff was quick, my records were updated, and before I left, the staff helped me schedule a consultation with the Ashland cleaning to answer some questions about an upcoming surgery. Thank you.
