Smile Studio Dentistry of Baltimore

4.7(234)·8.9 km from Baltimore Downtown
82Smyleee

Suite 103, 1900, East Northern Parkway, Loch Raven, Baltimore, Maryland

Closed · Opens Monday at 10 AM

Documented for preventive cleanings in Baltimore, with affordable dental care on the service list and 3 procedures on file.

Read full description

Smile Studio Dentistry of Baltimore is a general and cosmetic dentistry practice located at 1900 E Northern Parkway, Suite 103, in the Loch Raven area of northeast Baltimore, Maryland. The practice is led by Dr. Joshi and her team and offers a range of dental services from routine preventive care through cosmetic and alignment treatments.

Preventive care is a foundation of the practice. Professional dental cleanings, comprehensive examinations, and oral health assessments are performed for established patients on a regular schedule. The hygienist team carries out thorough cleanings, and the dentist reviews overall dental health at each visit. New patients can expect an examination that covers existing conditions and a clear discussion of what, if anything, is recommended going forward.

Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is performed at this practice for patients who present with signs of gum disease or significant buildup that cannot be addressed through a standard preventive cleaning. The dentist explains the clinical rationale for a deep cleaning during the examination and ensures patients understand the difference in scope and cost compared to a routine cleaning before the appointment is scheduled.

Zoom teeth whitening is available for patients interested in cosmetic brightening. Whitening appointments can often be combined with a cleaning visit for convenience. In-office whitening results are visible after a single session. The team reviews expectations, the process, and post-treatment care instructions with patients ahead of the appointment.

Invisalign clear aligner treatment is offered for patients considering teeth straightening. A consultation allows the dentist to assess whether Invisalign is appropriate for a patient’s alignment needs, outline the expected treatment duration, and provide the full cost of the program — including retainers required after active treatment — so patients can make an informed decision before committing.

Smile Studio Dentistry of Baltimore at 1900 E Northern Parkway serves patients from Loch Raven, Northwood, Parkville, Towson, and surrounding northeast Baltimore communities in the 21239 zip code. Contact the office through the details on this page to schedule an appointment for a cleaning, whitening consultation, Invisalign evaluation, or routine dental examination.

How to Choose a Dentist in Baltimore

Use the ranking as a starting point, then narrow the shortlist based on the kind of care you actually need.

If you want routine or family care

Prioritize review consistency, insurance friendliness, practical hours, and a broad general-dentistry service mix over marketing language alone.

If urgency matters

Confirm same-day capacity, after-hours guidance, and whether the clinic handles urgent restorative work in-house or refers out.

If affordability matters most

Compare financing signals, insurance notes, and the local cost guide. A higher-ranked clinic is not automatically the best value for your specific treatment.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Do you accept my insurance or offer payment plans?
  • Are you taking new patients right now?
  • Do you handle my treatment in-house?
  • What is the total expected cost before treatment starts?
EditorialUpdated August 2, 2026Independently reviewed

Baltimore has no shortage of dental providers — a quick search pulls up hundreds. The challenge isn't finding one, it's figuring out which ones actually deliver. We spent time reviewing patient outcomes, checking credentials, comparing pricing, and analyzing feedback from patients who've had affordable dental care work done across the Baltimore metro area.

This is the short list. Ten providers in Baltimore, Maryland that consistently showed up in the data — not because they paid to be here, but because their patients keep coming back and referring others. If you're weighing options for affordable dental care in Baltimore, start here.
