Read full description

Based on West Washington Avenue in Madison, Wisconsin, Dentistry for Madison is a dental practice serving the area. A dental implant replaces a missing tooth at the root, not just the crown — a small titanium post is placed in the jaw bone and, once it has integrated over a period of months, a replacement tooth is attached to it. It is generally the most durable option for a single missing tooth or several.

Clear aligners straighten teeth through a series of custom, removable trays, each worn for one to two weeks before moving to the next in the sequence. They suit mild to moderate crowding and spacing well, and are worn roughly twenty to twenty-two hours a day for treatment to stay on schedule.

A veneer is a thin custom shell bonded to the front of a tooth to change its shape, length, or colour, most often used to address chips, gaps, or discoloration that whitening alone cannot fix. Traditional veneers require a small amount of enamel to be removed, which makes the change permanent.

Cosmetic treatment is generally the least invasive branch of dentistry, built around changing how teeth look rather than fixing something broken. Whitening and bonding sit at the lighter end; veneers and reshaping involve more planning. Most cosmetic dental insurance excludes this kind of work, since it is elective rather than medically necessary.

Emergency dental care covers sudden problems that will not wait for a routine appointment — severe pain, a knocked-out or fractured tooth, swelling, or a lost filling that leaves a tooth exposed. Same-day or urgent appointments are the point of an emergency service, rather than the standard multi-week booking window.

A crown covers an entire damaged tooth — used when too much structure is missing for a filling to hold reliably, whether from a large fracture, extensive decay, or after root canal treatment. It restores both the shape and the biting strength of the tooth underneath. Contact details for Dentistry for Madison are on this page, along with the full list of services offered — reach out to ask about scheduling.

Invisalign focus in New York; sedation dentistry is implied by specialty rather than listed directly, with 10 services on file — just outside Washington DC proper.

Read full description

Arvind Philomin DDS is a dental practice on Fort Washington Avenue in the Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. The practice provides general dentistry alongside several restorative and specialty services, caring for patients in upper Manhattan at one location.

General dentistry covers the routine examinations, cleanings, and preventive treatment that keep teeth and gums healthy. Beyond everyday care, the office provides a range of additional treatment. Dental implants replace missing teeth with a fixed restoration anchored in the jaw. Wisdom teeth removal addresses third molars that are impacted or crowding. Orthodontic treatment is available through Invisalign clear aligners, and the practice also treats functional concerns such as TMJ/TMD jaw pain.

Having general and specialty care in one place means several types of treatment can often be coordinated at a single practice rather than referred elsewhere.

Before agreeing to any treatment, patients are encouraged to ask the office for a clear, written treatment plan that sets out the recommended procedures, the reasons for them, the alternatives, and the full cost — and to confirm directly with their insurer how the work relates to their coverage and whether the practice is in network.

It is also reasonable to ask which items are required versus optional, and to take time to consider any financing or payment-plan offer before signing it.

A first visit generally begins with an examination and any necessary X-rays.

For any treatment beyond a routine cleaning, it is reasonable to take the treatment plan home, compare it against a second opinion if the recommended work is extensive, and return to the practice once the scope and the cost are clearly understood.

The Fort Washington Avenue location is convenient for Washington Heights and the surrounding upper Manhattan neighborhoods and is served by nearby subway lines. You can review the practice’s services and contact details on this page and reach the office directly to ask a question or request an appointment.

830, Washington Avenue, South Beach, Miami Beach, Florida(nearby)

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 9 AM

Sedation Dentistry isn't listed directly on profile, but this Miami Beach clinic is documented for general dentistry across 5 services — just outside Washington DC proper.

Read full description

Washington Avenue at 830, South Beach, Miami Beach FL 33139, is on the commercial and residential spine of South Beach — the main commercial thoroughfare that runs parallel to Ocean Drive, lined with restaurants, nightclubs, boutiques, pharmacies, and the full range of South Beach's urban commercial fabric. The 830 Washington Avenue address is in the central South Beach zone, a few blocks north of the Lincoln Road pedestrian mall at one end and the Art Deco Historic District core at the other.

SoBe Smiles — Jinelle Andujar, DMD, PA — is a named-dentist general dental practice on this Washington Avenue address. Dr. Jinelle Andujar operates under the South Beach ("SoBe") brand, with "Smiles" connecting the practice to the aesthetic and aspirational dimension of dental care that resonates with South Beach's appearance-conscious community. The DMD credential and PA corporate structure are the standard framework for solo dental practitioners in Florida.

General dentistry at this South Beach address serves the full population that makes Washington Avenue its daily commercial corridor: year-round South Beach residents, working professionals in the hospitality and entertainment industries, and the residents of the surrounding South Beach apartment buildings and condos. A dental practice on Washington Avenue is accessible to patients who live within walking distance of the corridor and to those who commute to South Beach from surrounding Miami-Dade communities.

The named-dentist practice identity — SoBe Smiles - Dr. Jinelle Andujar — balances geographic brand recognition with the individual relationship that patients seek in a primary dental care provider. Patients can identify the practice through the SoBe Smiles name while also knowing that they will see Dr. Andujar specifically at each appointment, maintaining the personal continuity that distinguishes a solo practitioner from a rotating-provider group.

For patients in South Beach and the surrounding communities of ZIP 33139 seeking a named-dentist general dental practice on the Washington Avenue commercial corridor, SoBe Smiles - Jinelle Andujar DMD PA at 830 Washington Avenue provides that personal dental home in the heart of South Beach.

Kappa Dental Group

4.8(299)·633 km from Washington DC Downtown
78Smyleee

402, Washington Street, Ward Two, Somerville, Massachusetts(nearby)

Open until 7 PM

Somerville clinic with a preventive cleanings specialty that covers sedation dentistry by implication, across 3 documented services — just outside Washington DC proper.

Read full description

Based on Washington Street in the Ward Two area of Somerville, Massachusetts, Kappa Dental Group is a dental practice serving the area. A professional cleaning removes the plaque and hardened tartar that brushing and flossing cannot reach, particularly along the gumline, and is the core of routine preventive care. Most people benefit from a cleaning roughly every six months, more often for those managing gum disease.

Affordable care means the practice sets out to make treatment accessible on a self-pay basis or through a payment arrangement, rather than assuming every patient arrives with comprehensive insurance. It is worth asking directly what options exist before assuming a needed treatment is out of reach.

General dentistry covers the routine and restorative care most people need most often — examinations, cleanings, fillings, and preventive checks that catch problems while they are still small and inexpensive to treat. Regular attendance, roughly every six months for most patients, is what makes that early-catch approach actually work.

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.

Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit. This page has the practice's contact details and full service list. Get in touch through it to ask questions or book a visit.

Oral Surgery

4.8(295)·1.5 km from Washington DC Downtown
89Smyleee

508, 1234, 19th Street Northwest, Northwest Washington, Washington, District of Columbia(nearby)

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 7:30 AM

Emergency Dentistry focus in Washington; sedation dentistry is implied by specialty rather than listed directly, with 4 services on file — just outside Washington DC proper.

Read full description

An oral surgery practice listed under the generic name "Oral Surgery" operates at Suite 508, 1234 19th Street Northwest in Washington DC's 20036 zip code — in the same building as Dr. Barbara E. Baxter DMD (Suite 704, ID 3068), Dupont Dental (ID 3077), Minovi Dental (Suite 400, ID 3120), Nadine Soga DMD (Suite 710, ID 3122), and Neil L. Starr DDS PC (Suite 306, ID 3126). The presence of an oral surgery specialist at Suite 508 of this building makes 1234 19th Street NW one of the more complete dental buildings in DC, offering both general dental care and surgical specialty services under one address.

Oral surgery as a dental specialty covers a range of procedures beyond the scope of general dentistry: surgical extractions including impacted wisdom teeth, dental implant placement, bone grafting, jaw surgery (orthognathic surgery), treatment of oral pathology, and management of dental injuries. Having an oral surgeon in the same building as multiple general dentists facilitates smooth referrals and coordination when a general dentist encounters a case that requires surgical management — a meaningful convenience for both practitioners and patients.

Suite 508 on the fifth floor places the oral surgery practice in the mid-section of the 1234 19th Street building, between the lower-floor general dental practices (Neil Starr at 306, Minovi at 400) and the upper-floor practices (Dr. Baxter at 704, Dr. Soga at 710). The Dupont Circle Metro station is the nearest transit access point for this 19th Street NW address.

For DC patients in the Dupont Circle and downtown professional corridor who have been referred for oral surgery — or who are establishing care with a surgeon for implant placement, wisdom tooth removal, or other surgical procedures — this Suite 508 oral surgery practice at 1234 19th Street NW provides specialty care in a building that also houses five general dental practices for coordinated referrals.

New England Dental

4.8(363)·575 km from Washington DC Downtown
84Smyleee

1387, Broad Street, Washington Park, Providence, Rhode Island(nearby)

Closed · Opens tomorrow at 9 AM

Sedation Dentistry isn't listed directly on profile, but this Providence clinic is documented for general dentistry across 7 services — just outside Washington DC proper.

Read full description

New England Dental is located at 1387 Broad Street in the Washington Park neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island — a general dentistry practice on Broad Street, one of Providence's principal south-side commercial arteries. Broad Street runs from the downtown Providence core southward through the West End, Elmwood, Washington Park, and Reservoir neighborhoods before crossing into Cranston, and the 1387 address in the Washington Park section places the practice in the southern reaches of this long corridor. Washington Park is a quiet working-class neighborhood bordering Cranston to the south, characterized by single-family homes, small businesses, and community services typical of Providence's outer residential neighborhoods, which are less densely urban than the city's core districts.

New England Dental provides general dentistry for adults and families in Washington Park and the surrounding south Providence communities. Core services include the full range of preventive and restorative care: comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, dental radiographs, tooth-colored fillings for cavities, and crown restorations for damaged teeth. The "New England Dental" brand name signals a regional, community-embedded identity rather than a nationally branded or practitioner-named model — an approach that positions the practice as a stable neighborhood institution within the Washington Park community.

Broad Street's transit accessibility — served by major RIPTA bus routes running the full length of the corridor from downtown to Cranston — makes New England Dental reachable by public transit from across South Providence, Elmwood, and the West End for car-free patients. The Washington Park location serves patients from the neighborhood itself as well as from the neighboring Cranston border communities who prefer Providence's Broad Street corridor to Cranston's own dental market. Specialist referrals point to providers in Providence or Cranston accessible via Broad Street's Route 1 connections.

For Washington Park and south Providence residents seeking general dental care on Broad Street, New England Dental provides accessible community dentistry in the southern reach of one of Providence's longest commercial corridors.

How to Choose a Dentist in Washington DC

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?
