July 2026 — In dentistry, trust is earned one patient at a time, one result at a time, one decade at a time. Few practices in West Virginia have earned it as completely as Drs. Monday & Graziani P.L.L.C. a practice founded in 1974 and led today by two of the region's most credentialed dental professionals. With over 50 years of combined clinical experience, fellowship-level implant expertise, and a suite of advanced dental technologies, the practice stands in July 2026 as the definitive standard of comprehensive, expert-led oral care across the Kanawha Valley and Putnam County.

This is not a practice that competes on volume. It competes on outcomes on the quality of every restoration, the precision of every implant, the confidence on every patient's face when they see their new smile for the first time. That singular focus on excellence is what has made Drs. Monday & Graziani a multi-generational dental home for families across Charleston, Hurricane, Beckley, Logan, Milton, and Teays Valley.

The Moment West Virginia Dentistry Needs Excellence Most -

A January 2026 WalletHub national study delivered a sobering verdict: West Virginia ranked #51 out of 51 jurisdictions for overall dental health. Some 43.4% of state residents did not visit a dentist in the past year. Among adults aged 65 and over, 42% have lost all of their teeth more than double the national average. The West Virginia Oral Health Coalition's most recent report card awarded the state a D+ overall.

These are not distant statistics. They describe the communities Drs. Monday & Graziani have served for over half a century. The practice's response has not been to lower its standards it has been to raise them. Because in a state where access to quality dental care is genuinely scarce, the presence of a physician-led, fully equipped, fellowship-credentialed practice matters profoundly.

Research published in the Journal of the American Dental Association in September 2025 found that 72.6% of U.S. adults report some level of dental fear, with 26.8% experiencing severe anxiety. Meanwhile, the NIH has established that periodontitis increases the risk of heart disease by 30% a finding of acute significance in a state carrying one of the nation's heaviest cardiovascular disease burdens. Oral health is whole-body health. The work Drs. Monday & Graziani do is not simply cosmetic it is clinical, preventive, and, for many patients, life-changing.

The Physicians: A Rare Combination of Credentials and Character

Dr. Daniel Monday, DDS — IDIA Fellow and Implant Surgery Specialist

Dr. Monday has been in private dental practice since 1993, over three decades of continuous, evolving clinical work anchored in his home state of West Virginia. His academic foundation at the West Virginia School of Dentistry was followed by an immediate entry into private practice, and he has been at the helm of this partnership since June 1994. His clinical focus on cosmetic, restorative, and implant dentistry has culminated in fellowship recognition from the International Dental Implant Association (IDIA) a distinction that places him among a globally recognized group of practitioners who have demonstrated advanced clinical mastery in implant surgery and bone grafting. This level of subspecialty expertise, delivered within a private practice setting, is exceptional.

He is an active member of the American Dental Association, West Virginia Dental Association, Kanawha Valley Dental Association, and the Virginia Street Study Club a career-long investment in professional leadership that directly benefits every patient in his care.

Dr. Stephen Graziani, DDS — Residency-Trained, Multi-State Practitioner
Dr. Graziani brings a clinical biography shaped by rigorous training and genuine breadth of experience. After earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the West Virginia School of Dentistry in 2003, he completed a competitive residency at the VA Medical Center in Martinsburg, West Virginia an environment that demands clinical versatility and precision under real-world complexity. Years of private practice across South Carolina, North Carolina, and West Virginia followed, exposing him to patient cases and clinical scenarios that span the full spectrum of dental medicine.
Dr. Graziani's areas of specialty include cosmetic and restorative dentistry, endodontics, implant placement, and family care. He is a member of the American Dental Association, West Virginia Dental Association, and Kanawha Valley Dental Association. Each month, he volunteers at the West Virginia Health Rite dental clinic donating his expertise to community members in need, because he understands that the privilege of clinical skill carries with it a responsibility to give back.

Technology in Service of Excellence
Diode Soft Tissue Laser
The practice's investment in Diode laser technology enables a category of soft tissue care gum contouring, periodontal treatment, frenectomies that conventional instruments cannot match in precision or patient comfort. Laser-assisted procedures reduce post-operative discomfort, minimize recovery time, and deliver consistently superior outcomes. For patients who have come to associate dental treatment with discomfort, this technology fundamentally changes the experience.

Low-Radiation Digital Imaging:

High-resolution diagnostic imaging at Drs. Monday & Graziani is captured using low-radiation digital X-ray systems delivering sharper images with substantially reduced patient radiation exposure. It is a small but meaningful reflection of a practice culture in which patient safety is embedded in every clinical decision.

Fellowship-Guided Implant Surgery: When Dr. Monday performs implant placement and bone grafting, every procedural decision is informed by IDIA fellowship-level training. The result is implant outcomes that meet the most rigorous global benchmarks from pre-surgical assessment and site preparation through to final restoration all within a single, trusted practice.
