History
Winchester and Frederick County were once Shawnee Indian camping grounds to which Pennsylvania Quakers came to settle in the 1730s. In the 18th and 19th centuries, The Great Valley Road, now known as Route 11, served as a migration trail.
Throughout history, the Winchester-Frederick County area has played an important role in the development of our nation. Winchester was the first English-speaking town west of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and Frederick County was the military and political training ground for George Washington.
In Winchester, visitors can walk the same streets that George Washington, Patsy Cline, and Stonewall Jackson once walked. See impressive monuments of polar explorer Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, General Daniel Morgan of Revolutionary War fame, and George Washington, the father of our country. View the amazing architecture of buildings that witnessed

Frederick County
Millions of Americans can trace their heritage to Frederick County, Virginia! During the 1730s, it was the destination of early settlers –newly arrived English, Scots, Irish, and German immigrants who came from Pennsylvania in search of inexpensive, fertile farmland.
Today, Frederick County offers a wealth of opportunities for genealogists and historians. The Frederick County Clerk’s records were never lost or burned; they cover 1743 to the present.
Frederick County has Civil War battlefields, beautiful public parks, Winchester Speedway, Winchester Regional Airport, and Rock Harbor Golf Course.
Family owned farm markets, featuring locally grown fruits, vegetables and meats, are plentiful. Frederick County’s stately antebellum courthouse with its huge white pillars served as a hospital and prison during the Civil War, and is now home to the Shenandoah Valley Civil War Museum. The statue of a Confederate soldier, standing guard outside is the most photographed point-ofinterest in the area. fcva.us

Jeff Dickson, DMD, MS, MS and his specialized team work hard providing patients the highest level of advanced dental care anywhere in Virginia and beyond. A specialist in tooth removal, dental implants, sedation, and laser gum treatment, Dr. Dickson practices a full scope of advanced dentistry including the life changing All-on-4© (teeth in a day).
The All-on-4© process at VDII has changed hundreds of lives by substituting a denture for teeth that are fully screwed in and supported with dental implants. After careful planning with an engineer, this process is usually completed in one day making it a lift changing experience.
Dr. Dickson has been a “Top Doctor” award winner every year since 2018 and recently voted by his dental peers as one of Virginia’s top dentists. VDII has also been recognized as one of the country’s “All-on-4© Treatment Centers of Excellence.”
These credentials and experience has led to Dr. Dickson amassing a patient base far beyond the Shenandoah Valley making him one of the most sought after dental implant specialists. Because Dr. Dickson has such a wide ranging patient base, that prompted him to rebrand in 2021 from Shenandoah Valley Implant Institute-Winchester to Virginia Dental Implant Institute.
