Smyleee Rating
Very Good
Lake Arbor Dental Associates is located at 411 8th Street Southeast in Washington DC's 20003 zip code — on Capitol Hill, in the residential blocks south of the Capitol building and east of the Navy Yard. The 8th Street SE corridor in this area connects the Capitol South and Navy Yard Metro stations, passing through the Capitol Hill residential neighborhood and the evolving Navy Yard mixed-use development. The 411 8th Street address is in the established Capitol Hill residential fabric rather than the newer Navy Yard commercial development.
The name Lake Arbor is the name of a large planned residential community in Bowie, Maryland — a Prince George's County suburb well outside of Washington DC. The disconnect between the practice name (Lake Arbor) and the practice location (Capitol Hill, Washington DC) suggests the practice may have relocated from the Lake Arbor community to Capitol Hill at some point, or the name reflects personal ownership history rather than geographic identity. Whatever the origin, the practice operates at this Capitol Hill address under its established name.

I have been a patient of Lake Arbor Dental for a few years, and have always had a great experience. The wait times are very short, the staff are friendly and the dentist are professional. I highly recommend Lake Arbor Dental.
I had a very pleasant experience with Dr. McRae!! He was knowledgeable as well as compassionate about my dental needs.
This is the best dental experience I have ever had in my life! Dr. McRae, the assistant technician, and the dental hygienist had taken great care of me! They had provided me with a thorough cleaning, exam, and recommendations to maintain a healthy smile. His staff was very welcoming. In the past I have always been nervous about the dentist. The Lake Arbor Dental Associates of MD experience has put me at ease! I highly recommend everyone to come and see Dr. McCray. I have not had a dental exam and teeth cleaning in a couple of years. After my X-rays, and a thorough examination I had my teeth cleaned. I was amazed at how white my teeth are. When I had arrived my teeth were so yellow!!! for years I would barely smile. After the hygienist cleaned them she said you want to take a look at them in the mirror. After taking a look at how white they look, I'm extremely and beyond pleased!!! I can’t stop SMILING!!! 😁 I highly recommend this dental practice.
Dr. Terrell is an excellent Dentist!! And all of the staff were caring and gave excellent service to me. Kendall her Assistant was so kind and knowledgeable. I had an OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE 💜
Great people and service. Establishment is clean and follows COVID guidelines to provide the safest environment for its patients. Always greeted with a smile from all employees. Skilled doctors keeping with the latest technology and procedures. I would highly recommend Labor Arbor Dental services to anyone needing dental care. Still the best place for dental care. Always satisfied.
I am completely afraid of dentist. But due to me sustaining injuries to my upper and lower teeth. I had no choice, but to seek Service’s. Throughout my history, I have always requested laughing gas to avoid the pain & discomfort and fear. From the time I entering the door of this establishment. I was meant by a very friendly young lady that was willing to stay on the phone and guide me to the facility. Not only did I meeting other staff members , they were so pleasant and so professional as well. The staff at this facility explained everything that they were doing. I was seen by Dr. Terrell what a pleasant experience. She explained everything as well as taking her time to make sure that I was comfortable. I am looking forward to seeing her again as we continue with my treatment plan, if anyone’s looking for a professional and knowledgeable facility this is the facility that you want to go to, everyone from the front door to the back door, very professional and greet you with a smile. It was a very pleasant experience, and well worth the drive.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Terrell for over a decade (at least 10–13 years), and my experience has consistently been excellent. The office is always clean, well-organized, and welcoming. The office staff are always pleasant. I especially appreciate the appointment reminders via both text and email—it makes staying on top of my dental care so much easier. Dr. Terrell has a wonderful bedside manner: professional, patient, and genuinely attentive, which helps put me at ease during appointments. The hygienists are equally great, thorough, gentle, and very attentive. In addition to routine dental care, I also completed Invisalign treatment here about two years ago, and I’m still very pleased with my results. Overall, I highly recommend this practice for anyone looking for consistent, high-quality dental care.
First visit to Lake arbor Dental was amazing. I walked in as was warmly greeted by the front desk team, the dental assistant greeted me and completed X-rays and a digital scan , she was very pleasant. Ms. Kimberly the hygienist arrived she throughly explained everything about my scans and gave me an opportunity to ask questions. She proceeded to give me the best cleaning I’ve received in a very long time, still explaining every step of the way. My teeth were rejuvenated, lol. I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Tyrell last, very pleasant. She explained my plan of treatment and reviewed the scans with me. I could not have been more satisfied. I’m grateful to have stumbled across this practice, will be returning. Thank you, All
Absolutely great experience! Needed an emergency visit and my regular Dental Office (Vibrant Smiles) could only accommodate new patients. So, I went online looking for a Dentist who cared and found Dr. Dexter McRae. Dr. Dexter McRae, his Dental Assistant and their Front Office Staff are great. The Office is extremely clean and it is obvious that they care about their patients. They are highly skilled and use the very latest in technology. He replaced a filling that had fallen out so quickly and with absolutely no pain that I decided that he had to now be my new Dentist. Highly recommended!
The entire staff was very warm and welcoming. I have a dentist phobia but everyone in the office helped relax that situation for me. They explained everything in detail. Dr. Terrell and her assistant were absolutely amazing and comforting throughout the process. I definitely look forward to my next visit!
