WHAT WE DO
Affordable clear aligner treatment to straighten teeth and improve smile. A discreet alternative to traditional braces, custom-fitted at our Patterson Avenue practice with regular check-ins to track your progress.
State of the art CO2 laser treatment for soft tissues including tongue tie release. This advanced technology means less discomfort, faster healing, and precise treatment — one of the few Richmond practices offering this specific laser.
Beautiful ceramic veneers to match natural teeth and provide smile makeover. Dr. Eliason uses the latest dental materials and methods to craft veneers that look and feel like your natural teeth — not the uniform, obvious look you see elsewhere.
Dental implants as long term replacement for missing teeth. Unlike bridges or dentures, implant crowns are a permanent solution that preserves your jaw bone and functions exactly like a natural tooth.
Crowns or caps to strengthen vulnerable teeth and protect against fracture or decay. Using modern materials that blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, Dr. Eliason designs each crown for both strength and aesthetics.
Innovative treatments to correct white spots from enamel disruption or braces without needle or drill. A completely non-invasive approach especially valued by patients who've recently completed orthodontic treatment.
Teeth whitening services as part of our cosmetic dentistry offerings. Professional-grade results that over-the-counter strips simply can't match, calibrated to your specific tooth shade and sensitivity level.
Flexible partial dentures for multiple missing teeth. Designed for comfort and a natural appearance, these lightweight restorations are custom-fitted at our Richmond office to restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

Sierra Dental RVA is a local dental practice established in the Richmond community for over 25 years. We provide fine quality general and cosmetic dentistry services in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere, constantly investing in innovative and modern dental technologies to provide the best treatment for patients.
The practice name comes from Dr. Eliason's childhood — growing up in California, spending summers at his grandparents' cabin in the Sierra Nevada mountains. That sense of grounding, of something real and lasting, is what he brought to Patterson Avenue when he opened the doors here.

WHY SIERRA DENTAL
Established in Richmond's West End since the late 1990s. Many of our patients have been coming here for two decades — and now bring their children.
Our CO2 laser enables precise soft tissue procedures like frenectomy with less discomfort and faster recovery. Most Richmond general practices don't offer this.

In reviews, patients mention Mrs. Pam, Dr. Eliason, and others individually. "Front office always very sweet" and "everyone in the office is genuinely caring" — that's not an accident.

Patients call us "the most nonjudgemental dental practice." Dr. Eliason listens first, explains clearly, and lets you make informed decisions about your own care — no upselling.
