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.

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 his team are amazing. The service was professional and the staff made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. I highly recommend this office! ❤️
Great experience at this dental office. Zahra the hygienist did an excellent job she was very thorough, and professional. The doctor checked my implants in details and was also friendly and welcoming. The whole visit felt smooth and comfortable. Highly recommend.
Fantastic dentist! Wonderful, sensitive team. They'll be my dental service for life!
This place is highly professional and very compassionate and understanding. They wiped away many years of shame and embarrassment in one visit. If you have been hesitating to go to the dentist, this place is the one for you.
I had a good experience at Georgetown Smile yesterday! The front desk staff were very friendly and professional and took a lot of time with me as a new patient! I also liked Jose the hygienist too! He was very thorough and knowledgeable. I was less impressed by Dr. Peretz himself. His welcome to the practice was perfunctory and he didn’t really engage with me when I asked him about the recommendations of my previous dentist, which I had brought to share with him. He didn’t take the time to go over it in any detail, which I was honestly expecting. Getting crowns is a big expense and I would have liked a little more discussion. He quickly said that he could do it for much less money than my previous dentist, but he didn’t specify the pricing, which I would have appreciated. Overall, I was satisfied with my experience but not thrilled. However, since the practice is in network for my insurance, that’s very important.
