Small-town care, big-city skills

Dr. Hulver grew up in Beckley, West Virginia, where relationships were personal, steady, and rooted in trust. As a Fairfax dentist, she brings that same thoughtful approach to dental care at Metropolitan Dental Centre.

With a close-knit team and unhurried attention at every step, patients feel seen, heard, and cared for. Dr. Hulver applies her expertise in cosmetic dentistry and full-mouth rehabilitation with a thoughtful, detail-oriented approach, offering advanced treatment options.

Why patients drive past other practices to get here

  • Comfort-first
    90-minute visits

    Your first visit allows Dr. Hulver time to understand your needs, goals, and concerns, while also exploring comfort options that help you feel calmer and safer.

  • Care guided
    by your needs

    As a fee-for-service practice, recommendations are based on what’s best for your teeth, not insurance limitations. Claims are still filed on your behalf.

  • One trusted
    dentist

    Dr. Hulver performs your exams, consultations, and procedures personally, ensuring your care remains consistent and personalized.

  • Thoughtful details for the best results

    Every material and technique matters. That’s why Dr. Hulver uses options like porcelain and zirconia crowns, KöR whitening, and guided implant planning to create stunning results.

A first visit worth showing up for

  1. Time to talk first

    Your visit begins with Dr. Hulver’s New Patient Interview, where you’ll discuss your dental history, goals, concerns, and any past experiences that shaped how you feel about care.

  2. A clear look at your oral health

    Dr. Hulver takes photos and reviews your current oral health with you on a screen, using clear explanations instead of confusing clinical language.

  3. Cleaning, for a fresher smile

    Your cleaning happens the same day with your hygienist. If more time is needed, our team will help schedule a follow-up that fits your routine.

  4. A clear next step

    You leave knowing where things stand, what Dr. Hulver recommends, and what comes next.

It all starts with you.

Our patients keep coming back

  • I literally moved 2 hours away and still drive to see them because no one can compare. Dr. Hulver's attention to detail is unmatched, and her actual care for her patients is so rare in today's world.

    Cailin A.
  • After my childhood dentist retired, it took me two decades to find someone this gentle who takes time to truly know her patients. My husband and adult children all see her now too.

    J.A.
  • In the old days, I would've had so much anxiety. But everything is so calm here, and they are so gentle that I had zero anxiety and left with a huge smile on my face.
