About City Dental DC
City Dental DC operates on Massachusetts Avenue Northwest in the Northwest Washington area of Washington, District of Columbia. At the core of a general dental practice is preventive and restorative care: checkups, professional cleanings, fillings, and screening for decay and gum disease before either becomes a bigger problem. It is the kind of appointment most people need on a routine schedule rather than only when something hurts.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not. Use this page to find contact information for City Dental DC and to see its full range of services before getting in touch.

Very friendly . No long waiting. In and out service
Dr. John Tsaknis is the best!!! I am so grateful to have found City Dental!!! I was in terrible pain but with short notice they still made time to see me. From the front desk clerk, dental assistant/hygienist etc. everyone was pleasant and inviting. My dentist Dr. John Tsaknis was extremely gentle and did not one thing without explaining LmFreckledBo!! Highly recommend City Dental 💕 💞 ♥️
I'm terrified of the dentist, and definitely not a fan of being in the exam chair. But CityDental is different. They are honest, caring, and go through the process at your pace. The technicians listen vs. talking at you, and Dr. Tsaknis does the same. He makes his professional recommendations and explains why, then listens to your concerns. He does not force a treatment on you. It's why I trust them more than any other dentist I have been to in DC. If you're looking for a great Dentist and want one worth traveling too, this is the practice to go to.
I was a patient here for a short time. On my first visit they told me I had 4 cavities. I had never had one before in my life. They made me get 4 fillings. I’ve since left this dentist and I’ve never had a cavity since. I wish I’d gotten a second opinion.
Dr. Tsaknis was able to fit me in for an emergency when my normal dentist couldn’t. His staff was super helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. The office was clean and easy to find. Dr. Tsaknis took the time to really explain and walk through what my issue was and what my options were. Had a great experience!
Amazing bed side manner! New state of the art equipment! Painless!!!! (and I got a root canal) I would recommend them to anyone who wants the best of all worlds in a dentist. Dr. Laura Styron was absolutely amazing, and kept me informed every step of the way. I am one who is very nervous about going to the dentist, but City Dental DC is the absolute best!
I had to change my dentist to here since they are very close to home. Haven't been to a dentist in a few years so had a lot of things to handle: had a cavity, chipped tooth, filling repair and needed updated xrays and cleaning. Outstanding from start to finish. The admin team is helpful and communicative. The hygienists are friendly, knowledgeable and thorough. My Doctor was professional and her work was perfection. Their equipment is state of the art with 3D imaging and capability to build custom crowns on site, so no waiting for lab returns. Very impressed, happy with my dental work and highly recommend them. Thank you City Dental DC!
