Meet Our Team

Dr. Stenger graduated from the University of Virginia with a degree in Chemistry and earned his dental degree from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry.

After completing dental school, Dr. Stenger returned to Charlottesville to complete a two-year general practice residency at the University of Virginia Hospitals.  During his residency, Dr. Stenger had the opportunity to work with medically compromised individuals who had very complex situations that didn’t necessarily conform to the usual and customary. While he has always had great respect and compassion for individual needs, this experience served to further his patient philosophy that each patient is unique and deserves to be treated as such.

“We believe that taking time to listen to and understand each patient’s needs is critical to providing individualized care. Each of our doctors is committed to making this a priority,” says Dr. Stenger.

Dr. Stenger has been honored with Richmond Magazine’s “Best Bedside Manner” award as well as recognized as a “Top Dentist” for multiple years.

Dr. Stenger believes that the best way to make your community better is to become engaged. For over two decades, he enjoyed teaching dental students at the VCU School of Dentistry.  He was recognized with the VCU “Excellence in Dental Education Award” for his ongoing commitment to dental education. Dr. Stenger also served on the Cross Over Ministry Board of Directors, The Virginia Board for People with Disabilities, and the Chesterfield County Special Education Advisory Committee for numerous years.  Leadership roles included serving as a past president of Richmond Dental Society and later on their Board of Directors. Earlier in his dental career, Dr. Stenger served in the House of Delegates representing the Virginia Dental Association, and as committee chair for the Special Needs Committee and the Virginia Dental Health Foundation.  He has also enjoyed volunteering in the VDA Missions of Mercy outreach projects in Wise County, the Eastern Shore, Grundy, and Danville.

Dr. Stenger and his wife Krista have three children Nick, Abby (and son-in-law Bryan), and Jon. In 2022, they welcomed their first grandchild – baby Eli.

Dr. Cole has been named one of Richmond Magazine’s Top Dentists in several reader’s surveys over the last decade.  He has also been honored with “Best Dentist” for hospital (sedation) dental care in Richmond Magazine for several years.

Dr. Cole graduated from the University of Richmond in 1997 and earned his dental degree from the Medical College of Virginia.

After completing his general practice residency at Lehigh Valley Hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Dr. Cole moved back to Virginia. 

Lifelong education has always played an important role in Dr. Cole’s career. He remains committed to staying up-to-date on the very latest industry advancements and technology taking place within the dental industry.  He is an active member of the American Dental Association and Virginia Dental Association and past president of the Richmond Dental Society.

In addition to providing comprehensive dental care through restorative and cosmetic procedures such as fillings, bridges, crowns, root canals, dentures, mouth guards, veneers, and dental implants, Dr. Cole also has extensive experience working with high-anxiety patients, individuals with special needs, and those with physical disabilities.  He has a warm and gentle approach that provides comfort and confidence. 

Throughout the years, Dr. Cole has enjoyed volunteering for medical services through the Virginia Dental Association’s Missions of Mercy project, which provides free dental care for individuals in underserved communities with little or no access to quality dental care. 

Recently, the Virginia Dental Association recognized Dr. Cole and the dental practice for their contribution and support of Donated Dental Services (DDS), a program that provides comprehensive dental care to eligible seniors and adults with disabilities.

She finds no greater joy than helping others in need through her work with organizations and service projects such as “Give Kids a Smile,” where dentists provide free oral health care services to thousands of underserved children.

Dr. Gupta provides nearly 20 years of expertise in a broad range of dental services for our patients. She loves working with patients of all ages – including helping young children develop healthy dental habits early on in life.  Her comprehensive dental services range from simple fillings and bonding to dental crowns, bridges, dental implants, veneers, custom mouth guards for sports, and  Invisalign clear orthodontics.

In her spare time, Dr. Gupta enjoys running, yoga, and treasures time with her husband and two children.

Dr. Stout graduated from James Madison University with a biology degree and medical Spanish minor, and she earned her dental degree from Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry.  She went on to complete a general practice residency at the Carilion Clinic hospital dentistry program in Roanoke where she learned how to treat patients with complex medical conditions, specifically caring for cancer patients and special needs patients requiring comprehensive dental care with varying levels of sedation.

As a National Health Service Corps scholar, Dr. Stout spent her first three years of practice in two rural community health centers in Virginia. She enjoyed providing dental care to individuals and families in these underserved communities while experiencing two beautiful areas of the state. Now Dr. Stout volunteers at the Free Clinic of Powhatan once a month, helping those unable to afford dental care.

Dr. Stout believes in providing quality, gentle dental care and developing compassionate relationships with patients. She provides comprehensive dental care for our patients, including general and cosmetic procedures, and also serves as an Invisalign provider of clear aligners.
