Were not your traditional dental office. Were kind of like what The Avengers would be if they were all in the business of saving teeth. We like to think of ourselves as the superheroes of smiles, fighting off decay by day, and warding off grinding by night.
Ok, maybe its not as dramatic as we think. But one things for sure. When you choose Dr. Jack T. Kayton Cosmetic and Family Dentistry as your dental health professionals, your smile transformation is dramatic. We like to combine fun and professionalism in a way that makes each patient comfortable and relaxed, while feeling like they are getting the absolute best care.
Every member of our team is skilled and compassionate, from our front office superheroes to our hygienists who save the day. We are always ready to listen to any concerns you may have, and answer any questions that may arise throughout treatment. Were here for you.
Our Charlottesville headquarters (otherwise known as our dental office) is conveniently located only five minutes from the University of Virginia. We provide quality dental care to families in Ruckersville, Troy, Earlysville, and surrounding communities.
When you meet Dr. Jack it becomes immediately clear that he loves his chosen profession and surrounds himself with a like-minded TEAM. Dr. Kaytons cup isnt half fullits overflowing every single day! His amazing energy and love of dentistry is contagious (and hes easy to prank!) Dr. Jacks clinical skills are second to none and he loves to take continuing education as well as mentoring dental students. All work and no play would make Dr. Jack a dull boyso when he isnt at the office, you will find him enjoying time with his awesome wife and kids, out running, or playing golf.
A native of Hampton, VA, Dr. Kayton earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, VA. He went on to earn his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at the Medical College of Virginia Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry, graduating Cum Laude. A General Practice Residency Certificate was completed at the Medical College of Virginia Veterans Administration Hospital in Richmond, and soon after, Dr. Kayton set up his general and family dentistry private practice here in Charlottesville
Since 1994, Dr. Kayton has served families in Charlottesville and surrounding areas with excellent, conservative dentistry. He believes that everyone deserves access to proper dental care, and because of that commitment, has sought opportunities to donate his time and expertise to worthy causes. Currently, he serves as an active volunteer with Donated Dental Service, a board member for the Charlottesville Free Clinic, and as a volunteer with the Charlottesville Dental Society Community Service program along with mission trips to Haiti.
Danielle is our financial coordinator, and is the first smiling face that youll see when you walk into our office. Shes been working in the dental industry since 2015, beginning in pediatric dentistry and moving on to general dentistry, so she is well versed in all the procedures, processes, and services that you and your family members may need through all the various stages of life.

Suzettes day never endswhen she removes her dental assisting hat, she puts on her chef hat! We all love when Suzette brings in leftovers from her catering business. Pee Wees Pit Barbecue offers great barbecue, sauces and sides, and her Pork Puppies are to die for! Somehow she still finds time to take her kayak, the Pink Panther, down the James and spend time with Pee Wee himself, their three daughters, and grandson. Whew!
Suzette received her Dental Assistant certification from the Red Cross at R.A.F. Base in Bentwaters, England and her Registered Dental Assistant certification in Sacramento, CA. She also assisted in Alamogordo, NM and Tucson, AZ prior to moving to VA. Suzette also is a Master Graduate of Dental Boot Kamp (sounds scary!)
Harley has been working in the dentistry field for over three years and loving every minute of it. A graduate of CATEC, she wanted a career where she can help people and has always found dentistry fascinating. A third generation dental assistant, she loves giving people confidence through their smile, and also loves the interaction with all the different patients.
Brandy already had 13 years of experience in the dental field before joining our practice in 2021. She loves making patients smile, especially when she tells them about her funny farm at home: chickens and lizards and ducks oh my! She loves our positive work environment and our concentration on teamwork. Outside of work, youll find Brandy and her daughters hiking or going to the beach. She also loves to cook, helps out at the school when she can, and also likes to do photography.

I have been a patient of Jack T. Kayton for three years now. My husband suggested him and his team to me and I have always had positive experiences with them. Amanda and Jack are enthusiastic and extremely professional. It is very easy to schedule and appointment, modify, or cancel it (even though there is a long waitlist for major interventions which reflects the quality of the studio and its popularity). I have recommended Jack T. Kayton and his team to several friends and family members living in the Charlottesville area. And I will keep doing it: thank you for a great service!

Great visit and service provided. The new hygienist did a wonderful job. Done in such a nice way, she even pointed out areas for me to improve in brushing and flossing.

My last visit was excellent as has been the case in the past. I was greeted and escorted by Amanda for scheduled cleaning. She was very cordial and did a very professional job of cleaning and explaining some specialized treatments. Dr. Kayton then did an exam and we discussed an upcoming procedure. This is a five star professional office!!!

My experience with Dr. Kayton's practice was incredible. They fit me in "on the fly". Dr. K came up with a solution that was incredibly creative and thoughtful. His staff - outgoing, caring and just plain nice people. I can't recommend Dr Kayton's practice enough. 6 Stars.

Best dentist, best staff. By far the best of the 4 dentists I have had in my life. They are courteous and kind, clean and organized, communicated and knowledgeable, and they find a way to make your experience fun and enjoyable. I highly recommend Dr. Kayton and his entire staff! If you are looking for a great dentist in the Charlottesville/Central Virginia Area, this is the place.

The level of expertise and attention and competence and compassion of Dr Kayton and his staff is almost unbelievable. He obviously spares no time or expense in making patients as comfortable as possible; plus, he is absolutely at the top of his game! Feel so fortunate to have found him
