Ivoir Smiles Dentistry is a family dental practice dedicated to customer satisfaction. We place a high value client education and comfort; we will always offer you a variety of suitable treatment options, but give you the time and space you need to make the right decision.
Our staff is headed by Dr. Hendrick Tabue, DDS. Born and raised in Cameroon, Central Africa, the doctor attended his first round of dental school on Africas Ivory Coast. After graduation, he practiced in a private dental office before moving to France, where he pursued schooling in advanced orthodontic treatment.
He later became a resident of the U.S. and moved subsequently to Texas, Ohio, then Virginia. A short time later, he built Ivoir Smiles Dentistry where he has now practiced since 2014. Dr. Tabue regularly says that treating patients is something that helps him feel fulfilled with his life. When he isnt treating patients in the office, he can usually be found spending time with his wife and twin baby girls.
Kasandra has just recently relocated to Virginia from Rochester, NY, where she was a Veterinary Assistant. She has always had a passion for accounting and customer service. Outside of work, Kasandra enjoys hiking with her two dogs, Birdie and Bleu, as well as competing on her two horses, Connie and Thade.
Since a very young age, Dr. Tabue has loved the practice of dentistry. When he was younger, he suffered a horrible toothache that caused him intense pain. He was shuttled to the dentist by his parents, where he was told he had developed a root infection and abscess on a rear tooth.
Despite the horrible pain he felt from that experience, the one thing that stood out the most in his memory was how well that dentist cared for him. Since that day, he developed a fascination for the dental practice.
As he aged, he transformed his childhood appreciation for his local dental professional into a career. After attending dental school in the Ivory Coast of West Africa, Dr. Tabue started a small practice, where he worked for just under two years. Unable to shake the travel bug he decided to move to France, where he studied orthodontic treatment with high caliber trainers. After studying orthodontic treatments in France for a short period, he moved to the U.S. to start his own practice. It was only a short time after passing his U.S. dental exams that his dream of starting a dental practice in Virginia came true.
Today, Ivoir Smiles Dentistry is founded on the belief that patients everywhere should enjoy going to their dentist. If you have any questions about working with a Midlothian dentist who cares about your long-term wellbeing and comfort, contact us today.

I don't know where to start. It was my first time meeting Dr.Tabue and his staff members. Before I got there, I had already had doubts and uncomfortable feelings. They all assured me things are different at their office. I was greeted with respect and human dignity. Right there in my heart, I know it was about the patient first and not money. The spirit can tell a whole lot about negative energy. In the case of my situation, I was really looking forward to such negativity. O! No! There was nothing but pure positive feeling. May God continue to bless them.

When Dr. Tafo-Tabue said he wasn't putting me to sleep for my wisdom teeth I was terrified, but he assured me that I was in good hands. All in all, he was amazing, Joselyn was a pleasure as well. This is definitely a place I will forever recommend to friends and family. The staff is incredible, facilities are clean, and although this isn't my primary dentist, I felt at home here. Thank you again, Dr. Tafo-Tabue!!
