At our office, we believe preventative dental care and maintenance are vital to your dental health. Through regularly scheduled exams we check the overall health of your teeth and gums, perform oral cancer screenings, and perform dental x-rays to detect problems before they worsen. Routine dental cleanings, sealants, and fluoride treatments help prevent cavities and dental disease. We review your medical history to assess your overall health and identify any illnesses that may have an impact on your dental health.

We want to ensure the health of our patients and our dental team. Our practice follows safety procedures recommended by the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC). These measures include:

Our dental team is comprised of highly trained and skilled professionals who are licensed and certified. At our practice, we are committed to continuing education and learning. We regularly attend training classes, dental lectures, and dental conventions so we can offer the latest dental techniques, procedures, products, and equipment to our patients.

Highly individualized dental practice you will be treated by the same dentist and assistant for each visit. Dr. Klostermyer will assess your oral condition and based on your objectives, device options for comprehensive treatment plans and recommend different solutions that fit your needs and budget.

Highly selective in choosing our specialist partners we work with a carefully selected network of endodontists, periodontists, orthodontists, pedodontists, ENT, plastic surgeons, and maxillofacial surgeons. Each of whom offers special skills that may be needed as part of your treatment plan.

We price our services commensurate with the necessary time and best materials to achieve high-quality mutually agreed outcomes. When possible we undertake steps to apply your dental insurance to your bill.

We take time to administer painless injections, e.g. lubricate lips, to provide suction, to ask how you are doing and, if you need a break. Our hygiene sessions are thorough and typically last an hour.

We dont attempt to do everything, but rather offer prosthetic and cosmetic procedures with very high quality. We recognize the benefits of cross-functional teams. Our objective is not to capture revenue from every dental procedure but to provide the highest comprehensive standard of dental treatment. This involves meticulous treatment planning and close collaboration with a specialist network.

Do you need the services of a Prosthodontist in Virginia or the Richmond VA area? Dr. Ursula Klostermyer DDS, Ph.D. is a highly skilled and educated Prosthodontist who is taking new Prosthodontics patients in Virginia.

Prosthodontics is one of only nine dental specialties recognized by the American Dental Association (ADA). It is the only specialty dedicated to reconstructive, esthetic and implant dentistry. The ADA accredited program consists of 3 years of rigorous post-doctoral clinical training, following dental school, including hands-on fabrication of prosthetic appliances in the dental laboratories and classroom instructions. Thus, in addition to training commensurate with a degree in general dentistry, the prosthodontist receives extensive formal training in the areas of treatment planning, function of occlusion (bite), full-mouth reconstruction cases and the utilization of tools and techniques to achieve natural looking tooth replacement.

The prosthodontist draws up the treatment plan and is the captain of the multi-disciplinary restorative/esthetic team including other dental/medical specialists. The field of cosmetic dentistry is not a specialty recognized by the ADA. Prosthodontics is the only specialty that offers extensive formal clinical training in esthetic procedures (often described as cosmetic dentistry). There are only 2,900 prosthodontists in comparison to 148,000 general dentists in the United States. Post-graduate programs in prosthodontics are highly sought after and involve much time, money and effort to complete.

You know that quality is attainable if you work within your skill-set. Your general dentist should refer you to an endodontist for a root canal treatment, a periodontist for gum treatment, or an orthodontist for braces. Each of these specialists is focused on their particular field and can produce high-quality outcomes.

Dr. Ursula Klostermyer DDS completed a degree in dentistry from the University of Goettingen, Germany. As part of the program, she spent several months voluntarily in a rural section of Brazil working with local dentists and limited resources to provide dental services to those in need. During her studies, she met her husband John, an American, who was completing a doctoral degree in Goettingen.

Following the dental program, she completed a doctoral thesis on the treatment of special-needs patients and then moved to Frankfurt to open a practice. In 2000 she and her family moved to NJ and Dr. Klostermyer soon entered a postgraduate program in prosthodontics at the Department of Prosthodontics and Biomaterials at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in New Jersey (UMDNJ), now renamed Rutgers Dental School.

Following the completion of the degree in prosthodontics, Dr. Ursula Klostermyer also completed a 2-year fellowship in implant dentistry. Working with some of the major dental implant manufacturers she developed numerous treatment plans and placed hundreds of implants.

She is well aware of how important their exact and proper placement is with regard to the successful execution of subsequent prosthetic/esthetic treatment. She also taught both undergraduate and post-graduate students at UMDNJ. Her eventual goal was to again operate her own practice as this provides a platform where she could aptly provide the advanced treatment planning, esthetic and restorative dental skills acquired through years of postgraduate study and clinical treatment.
