Her undergraduate degree is from the University of South Florida with a B.S. in Clinical Chemistry. While in college she worked for a dentist, Dr. Gerald Kluft as a dental assistant. He suggested that she attend Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry. She graduated in 1985. She continues her dental education at Las Vegas International. Neuromuscular dentistry is taught there. She is the only dentist in the Richmond area who is still actively training there. The State Board of Virginia requires 16 hours of continuing education per year, Dr. Hart usually has 80-90 hours of continuing education per year.
Member of IAPA - The International Association of Physiologic Aesthetics. You wont find Dr. Hart on LVI Globals website since she has not completed all of the 6 core classes. She recently completed Core 4 and will soon be taking Core 5.
Besides her husband, Dave, of over twenty years, she has two grown sons, Luke and Jake. They are now part-time empty nesters. Community service is important to Dr. Hart. She helps keep the Richmond area clean by participating in the James River Regional Cleanup. Her family has picked up trash and debris at Pony Pasture, the Pipeline and at the Rice Center in Charles City County for over 10 years. English ivy and other trees and plants have been removed from East End Cemeterys graves by her family. Look for Dr. Hart courtside at the Siegel Center taking photos for the Virginia Commonwealth Universitys Womens basketball team. Her photos can be found throughout the office. Go Rams!! Estate and yard sales are some of her sources for her rehabbing furniture hobby. Its the thrill of the hunt that motivates her to get up early on Saturday mornings.
Becky is a native Richmonder-hailing from Bon Air. Following in her family's footsteps she worked at Thalhimer's in the children's department. Dental assisting for six years inspired her to attain her Bachelor of Science in Dental Hygiene from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1987.
The 'Rivah' is one of her favorite places to go. Merroir restaurant in Topping, Virginia, old salts oysters and a beautiful sunset comprise a beautiful day. Becky loves to explore quant shops in small historical towns-especially if they sell purses. She loves all purses-big, little, round or square.
Her family is very precious to her-either the 2-legged or 4-legged kind. Her nephews keep her busy and they always make her laugh and smile. She even loves her cat, Minx, when he tries to jump onto her ceiling fan. Border collies will always have a special spot in her heart.
Amy can be found supporting her son on the West Virginia University's Timbersport team. Go Mountainers! Amy and Reba, her rescue beagle, enjoy visiting Virginia State Parks, local farmer's markets and historical sites throughout our state.
Serving her community with Goochland Baptist Church allows Amy to continue caring for others outside the dental office. If you spot Amy at a worship service or exploring our great state come up and say 'Hi'.
Danna has two grown daughters and one grandson. He calls her Gigi. Rescuing animals is a passion of her. Recently, she rescued 2 pit bulls-Daisy and Karma. Spending time with her family is her greatest pleasure.
Lack of sleep could be more dangerous for women than men. According to a study from the University of Warwick performed by Michelle Mille, women who get less than eight hours of sleep a night are at higher risk of heart disease and heart-related problems than men with the same sleeping patterns.
Even one hour less causes significant changes in two markers that are predictive of future coronary heart disease and cardiovascular morbidity. Inflammatory mechanisms may play a role in the cardiovascular risk associated with sleep deprivation.
Mandibular advancement devices (MAD) are dental devices used to maintain your airway. The Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine recommends a MAD for mild to moderate sleep apnea due to compliance. Most people are able to get used to a MAD for their sleep apnea (90%) versus only 30 % of patients can tolerate a C-PAP to maintain their airway.

Dr. Hart is the most gentle, caring, calming dentist I have ever had the pleasure to work with. I have experienced anxiety due to being an adult with a baby tooth, and the implications of what comes next...and Dr. Hart always made me feel so safe and in expert care. At 35, I had my first cavity filled and taken care of with her gentle touch. So thankful for her.

I have been a patient for over 30 years and I'm so grateful to have such an amazing Dentist. Dr Hart is not only talented but her ability to make patients feel at ease is priceless. She always has time to discuss issues, and works you in quickly if you are having a dental emergency. She also is very involved in the community! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great Dentist in the Richmond area.

Dr. Hart is very detailed, takes a lot of time to understand your personal issues and situation, gives a thorough analysis, and presents options clearly. The only downfall is she doesn't take insurance, and was cost prohibitive for me to see her past the initial call and in person consultation.

It is because of Dr. Hart that I love my teeth!! Dr. Hart is the absolute best! And the staff is great too. I've been a patient of her's since she started her practice. And let me tell you, before I started seeing her I had a fear of dentist and messed up teeth! She is also great with kids. When my daughter grew teeth and started going to Dr. Hart, she would ask me why her other doctors were not as fun as Dr. Hart. My daughter is grown now and she still is excited to go to a Dr. Hart visit. If you are looking for a great Dentist, look no further than Dr. Hart. I'll say it again, I LOVE MY TEETH!
