About Georgetown Smile
Georgetown Smile provides dental care on MacArthur Boulevard 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.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
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.

great experience with both the doctor and rental hygienist here! the entire office was so kind and i rate them 10/10
Jose was friendly competent!
I had a great experience with Dr. Peretz and the entire team at Georgetown Smile. I initially went in because the composite resin on one of my front teeth had fallen out. Dr. Peretz took the time to carefully review my case, understand what I actually needed, and recommended a different approach instead of simply replacing the resin. I really appreciated his honesty and professionalism. He and the entire team genuinely seem focused on doing what is best for the patient and not recommending procedures that are unnecessary. Everyone was very kind, thorough, and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. I would definitely recommend Dr. Peretz and Georgetown Smile.
4.16.26 Zara was incredible. My first time having by teeth cleaned by her. She did a great job. Very personable. Explained a few things very well. I'll be back. 6.18.26 returned early due my quarterly cleanings. Excellent job.
I changed dental clinic about 6 months ago because the other one was out-of-network for my insurance. So, and this was the 2nd cleaning I was having at this clinic. The cleaning wasn’t as thorough as cleanings I’ve had at my previous dentist or even the first one I had in this outfit. I usually can tell by running my tongue over my teeth: the surface can usually feel very smooth. Not this time, the teeth in the back (my molars) are definitely not clean. I think it might be that the dental hygienist was in a rush (maybe) as it was lunch time. I’m going to have to find another place and I definitely won’t be able to wait the usual 6-months to do the next one. Feel that I need to do it asap.
Most friendly and professional service.
Very appreciative that the doctor agreed to see me for a quick same day visit after I woke with pain in my mouth. They were wonderful! Thank you!
Dr. Peretz and the entire team at Georgetown Smile are so amazing! They take great care of me from regular checkups to the Invisalign process, and also took great care of my abuelita. I have gone to them for years and never dead the dentist anymore!
Dr. Peretz and his team are amazing. The service was professional and the staff made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. I highly recommend this office! ❤️
