About Us
Founded in 2013, Dr. Wilmer has been creating gorgeous smiles to support healthy and confident lifestyles.
Our focus is on supporting whole-body health, which begins with the entrance to the gut – the mouth. Bacteria in the mouth can cause or affect heart health, diabetes, digestive conditions, autoimmune diseases, and other overall health conditions. We eliminate harmful bacteria and restore teeth and smiles to healthy and gorgeous perfection, allowing our patients to be the most confident versions of themselves possible!
Our Office
Our office is located just outside of Richmond at 27A Briggs Drive in the Broad View Shopping Center in Manakin-Sabot, VA. We are confident that you will feel right at home in our office as we welcome all patients as if you were family. Our office meets and surpasses all OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) and CDC (Center for Disease Control) standards.
Dr. Sarah Wilmer DDS, PLLC
Education and Background
Dr. Wilmer has been a practicing dentist in the Richmond area for almost 15 years and is a graduate of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry. Prior to this she achieved her Bachelor of Arts in Biology from Hollins University in Roanoke.
Dr. Wilmer followed in the footsteps of her grandfather and uncle in becoming an exceptional dentist and continues to share their passion and love for the profession and for her patients.
After working as an associate for three years, Dr. Wilmer found that her vision for her patients was different than most of her colleagues. In working with her personal functional medicine physician, she realized that she needed to incorporate the philosophy of functional medicine into her practice to find the root causes of her patients’ oral health issues- including skin wellness and sleep hygiene. With past experiences of loss from skin cancer, she made it her mission to add skincare prevention to her armamentarium, since poor skin health can also lead to poor oral health. Likewise, with personal losses to sleep apnea, Dr. Wilmer realized it was her duty to her patients to do everything she could to help patients be the healthiest versions of themselves, and not to focus only on their teeth. By focusing on the health of the mouth, skin, and the airway, Dr. Wilmer can optimize the health of the whole body and, oftentimes, improve patients’ mental health by doing so! Additionally, she collaborates with many other specialties to help her patients reach their wellness goals.

Her Mission
Dr. Wilmer prides herself on providing the highest quality of dentistry and healthcare and focuses on perfection, especially when it comes to aesthetics. Dr. Wilmer provides functional dentistry to her patients by being proactive and addressing the total body as an integrated system rather than just treating symptoms in the mouth.
When not sharing her passion for dentistry with her patients, she enjoys spending time with her family and 95lb. Golden Retriever, singing, hiking, and spending time at her oasis – the beach.
