Waynesboro's dentist, straight up 250 at the hospital campus.
From Waynesboro, the route to our chairs is one road: US-250 west, past the outlets, to the Augusta Health campus in Fishersville. No downtown parking, no interstate required — though I-64 to I-81 Exit 222 works when 250 is crawling. The office is on Medical Park Drive, an independent practice that shares an address with the hospital campus but not an owner.
Waynesboro households make up a large slice of our week — school-year cleanings, crowns that finally gave up, and the bigger projects people research first. Dr. Brian Podbesek accepts new patients and has led the practice here since 2014; the Google rating is 5.0 across 649+ reviews, with hours Monday through Friday, 8 to 5.
What Waynesboro travels here for
Dental implants top the list — single teeth, implant-retained dentures, and All-on-X full-arch reconstruction with Dr. Podbesek, planned on CBCT 3D imaging with a written plan and costs up front before anything starts. Invisalign is the other regular: iTero digital scans instead of impressions, and progress checks that respect a 250 commute by bundling visits where the treatment allows.
For emergencies, same-day appointments are the standing policy Monday through Friday. A cracked tooth at a Waynesboro lunch break usually means you call, we hold a slot, and you're on 250 within the hour — call first, always, so we can time it.
Insurance and paying for care
In-network with Delta Dental, Cigna, and United Concordia; most other major plans — Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, BCBS, Humana, Principal — are accepted and filed for you. If you're between jobs or plans, the Virginia Dental Club membership covers cleanings, exams, and x-rays and discounts most other care (a membership plan, not insurance), and CareCredit financing spreads larger treatment over qualifying monthly plans.
Questions we hear in the chair
- Do you take patients from Waynesboro?
- Yes — Waynesboro is one of our two biggest patient towns. Dr. Podbesek accepts new patients, and most Waynesboro families find the 250 drive simpler than they expected: one road, ending at a campus with easy parking.
- Can you see a Waynesboro emergency the same day?
- Call 540-885-8037 before you drive — same-day emergency appointments are our standing policy, Monday through Friday, 8 to 5. We'll tell you what to do for the tooth while you're on 250 and have a room ready when you arrive. Call for current availability.
- What insurance do you accept for Waynesboro patients?
- Delta Dental, Cigna, and United Concordia in-network; Aetna, MetLife, Guardian, BCBS, Humana, and Principal accepted and filed. No insurance at all is fine too — ask about the Virginia Dental Club membership plan, which is not insurance but covers preventive care and discounts the rest.
- Is the office affiliated with Augusta Health?
- No — we're independent. We sit on the hospital campus because it's the healthcare address this end of the county already drives to, which makes us easy to find from Waynesboro without making us part of the hospital.
