Mt. Jackson is one of the older and more historically significant towns in the Shenandoah Valley, sitting in the southern portion of Shenandoah County along the North Fork of the Shenandoah River. The town is perhaps most recognizable from Interstate 81 by its distinctive water tower painted as a basket of apples, but for those who live there, Mt. Jackson is defined by its Main Street, its Civil War heritage, and landmarks like the Meems Bottom Covered Bridge and the Route 11 Potato Chip factory.
The town is anchored by US-11, the historic Valley Turnpike that has connected Shenandoah Valley communities for generations, running directly through downtown Mt. Jackson before heading south toward New Market. Interstate 81 parallels this route and offers quick on-ramp access at exits 269 and 273, making the trip down to Briggs Family Dental in New Market a straightforward one. People in the 22842 zip code, as well as those coming in from neighboring communities like Quicksburg, Basye, and Orkney Springs to the west, are familiar with this short stretch of US-11 south as part of everyday travel.
OUR SERVICES
Compassionate Care
Patients arriving from Mt. Jackson will find a well-equipped, modern dental office that uses technology to make care more accurate and more efficient at every visit. Cone beam 3D imaging gives Dr. Briggs a precise, three-dimensional view of bone structure and tooth positioning, which is especially useful when evaluating candidates for dental implants or planning restorative work that needs to last. Digital X-rays, which reduce radiation exposure by up to 90 percent compared to traditional films, are used routinely throughout the practice. The CEREC in-office crown milling system allows Dr. Briggs to design, create, and place a permanent porcelain crown in a single appointment, which means Mt. Jackson patients can often handle a crown in one trip down US-11 rather than two.
Dr. Spenser Briggs earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from East Carolina University and has pursued advanced training through Spear Education in digital dentistry, CAD/CAM restorations, and guided implant surgery. Beyond the office, he serves as a Captain in the U.S. Army National Guard and donates his time regularly to Mission of Mercy free dental clinics, which have brought care to underserved communities across Virginia. His background reflects both strong clinical preparation and a genuine commitment to the communities he serves throughout the Shenandoah Valley.
