Closed · Opens today at 9 AM

Documented for cosmetic dentistry in Columbia, with tooth decay treatment on the service list and 17 procedures on file — just outside Washington DC proper.

More about tooth decay treatment at this clinic

Routine visits include dental cleaning to clear plaque before it hardens into decay, and tooth decay treatment — typically a filling — once a cavity has formed. If you've been putting off a cracked filling or an aching tooth because a specialist referral felt like the only starting point, this is a practice built to take that first look itself — decay, crown, or root canal alike.

Yerba Buena Dentistry

4.8(182)·3917 km from Washington DC Downtown
87Smyleee

401, Washington Street, Financial District, San Francisco, California(nearby)

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

Tooth Decay Treatment isn't listed directly on profile, but this San Francisco clinic is documented for pediatric dentistry across 31 services — just outside Washington DC proper.

Read full description

Yerba Buena Dentistry is at 401 Washington Street in San Francisco's Financial District — a location within the downtown commercial core, accessible from the Embarcadero waterfront, Jackson Square, and the Transamerica Pyramid corridor. The practice name references Yerba Buena, the pre-1847 village that became San Francisco — a historical acknowledgement of the city's identity. The Financial District address places the practice within walking distance of the dense professional population that populates this part of San Francisco during the workday.

Sleep apnea treatment is listed alongside full mouth rehabilitation, periodontics, prosthetics dentistry, and a comprehensive surgical and restorative scope — services that position this Financial District practice as a whole-health general dental option. For the Financial District professional population, an oral appliance therapy option for mild-to-moderate obstructive sleep apnea managed within the general dental relationship provides accessible non-CPAP management. Oral appliance therapy can be initiated at a routine dental appointment without a separate sleep medicine referral, making it a practical first intervention for Financial District professionals who are diagnosed OSA patients tolerating CPAP poorly.

Periodontics at this Washington Street address — advanced periodontal disease management beyond the scaling and root planing available in general practice — is available in-house rather than requiring a specialist referral. For patients whose gum disease has progressed to the point requiring surgical periodontal management, keeping that treatment within the established general dental relationship avoids the disruption of coordinating multiple provider relationships across San Francisco.

Full mouth rehabilitation and prosthetics dentistry serve the complex restorative cases that accumulate in an urban professional population. Dental sealants and paediatric dentistry alongside adult services make Yerba Buena a household dental option for the residential population in the surrounding Jackson Square and North Waterfront communities. TMJ/TMD treatment, sedation dentistry, braces, and Invisalign round out the clinical scope.

For Financial District, Embarcadero, and downtown San Francisco patients on the Washington Street corridor who want a full-scope family practice with sleep apnea treatment, full mouth rehabilitation, and periodontics in-house, the 401 Washington Street address provides that combination.

Columbia clinic with a cosmetic dentistry specialty — Tooth Decay Treatment is on file among 17 procedures — just outside Washington DC proper.

More about tooth decay treatment at this clinic

Day-to-day work covers the basics: cleanings, fillings for a cavity caught early, and crowns for a tooth that's cracked or worn down. When decay reaches the nerve, root canal treatment clears out the infected tissue and keeps the tooth in place instead of removing it; extractions are for teeth that can't be saved. What stays constant is the range of problems handled without a referral: decay, gum disease, a missing tooth, a chipped crown, or pain that shows up outside a convenient hour.

Divya Adusumilli DDS

85Smyleee

Ste CD, 285, Fort Washington Avenue, Manhattan, New York, New York(nearby)

Closed · Opens today at 9 AM

Cosmetic Dentistry focus in New York; tooth decay treatment is implied by specialty rather than listed directly, with 5 services on file — just outside Washington DC proper.

Read full description

Divya Adusumilli DDS is a dental practice located at 285 Fort Washington Avenue in the Washington Heights neighborhood of upper Manhattan, serving patients in the area north of the George Washington Bridge in one of New York City’s most diverse communities. The practice offers cosmetic dentistry and sedation-assisted dental care for patients who need a calmer, more supported experience during dental treatment.

Sedation dentistry is a primary service at this office, and the clinical team has a particular focus on patients with dental anxiety. The providers — including Dr. Philomin — work carefully with nervous patients, pacing treatment, explaining each step before proceeding, and using a gentle technique that minimizes discomfort throughout the appointment. Patients who have avoided dental care for extended periods due to fear have found the practice accessible for re-entering dental care.

Cosmetic dentistry services are available for patients with specific aesthetic dental goals. Dental implant placement is performed at the practice for patients who require tooth replacement. Implant patients can expect a thorough consultation covering candidacy, the surgical and restorative phases of treatment, and expected healing timeline before any procedure is scheduled.

The office has flexible scheduling, with the practice noted for accommodating patients’ scheduling needs and maintaining prompt appointment times. The staff, including Jashley, coordinate treatment across visits and keep patients on track with their overall care plan. The building and office are maintained in a clean and well-organized condition.

Fort Washington Avenue in Washington Heights runs along the western side of upper Manhattan, with access via the A train at 168th Street and 175th Street. The area also borders Inwood and is accessible from northern neighborhoods of Manhattan, as well as from patients in the Bronx who can reach upper Manhattan by subway. The practice is convenient for residents throughout Washington Heights and Inwood.

Patients in Washington Heights or upper Manhattan who experience dental anxiety, who have been avoiding dental care, or who are interested in cosmetic dental work or implants can contact this practice at the information listed on this page to arrange a consultation and discuss treatment options at their own pace.

Columbia Family Dentist

4.7(634)·38 km from Washington DC Downtown
66Smyleee

9650, Santiago Road, Oakland Mills, Columbia, Maryland(nearby)

Closed · Opens today at 8:30 AM

Cosmetic Dentistry focus in Columbia, with tooth decay treatment listed among 13 documented services — just outside Washington DC proper.

Read full description

Columbia Family Dentist operates out of a single practice on Santiago Road in the Oakland Mills village of Columbia, Maryland, built around routine, restorative, and cosmetic care for children and adults alike. Rather than splitting routine family care from more involved procedures across referrals, the office keeps both under one roof, so a cleaning for your child and a filling for yourself can often happen without being sent elsewhere. The result is a practice that treats a routine visit and a more involved procedure as part of the same everyday caseload, not two different tiers of care.

The service list covers most of what a family dentist handles: cleanings, fillings if decay has caused a cavity, crowns and bridges to rebuild or replace a damaged tooth, root canal treatment if decay has reached the nerve inside a tooth, and extractions when a tooth can't be saved. Gum disease treatment addresses inflammation and infection around your teeth before it reaches the jawbone. Teeth whitening and broader cosmetic dentistry address appearance rather than pain. Same-day emergency visits get worked into the existing schedule for a cracked tooth, a lost filling, or pain that can't wait for a routine opening, and the practice is also listed under affordable dental care.

If you're juggling a routine cleaning for one family member and a cracked tooth or sudden toothache for another, this is a place built to handle both without sending either of you to a separate specialist.

Cost depends on what your mouth actually needs: a simple filling is priced differently than a crown that also requires a root canal, and teeth whitening sits in its own separate category from restorative work. The affordable care listing suggests price is meant to be part of the upfront conversation rather than a surprise at the end. For a household in Oakland Mills or nearby parts of Columbia that wants cleanings, fillings, and the occasional cosmetic or urgent visit handled at one address, Columbia Family Dentist reads as a practice built around that specific, everyday mix rather than a single cosmetic or emergency specialty.

Arvind Philomin DDS

5.0(329)·342 km from Washington DC Downtown
90Smyleee

Ste CD, 285, Fort Washington Avenue, Manhattan, New York, New York(nearby)

Closed · Opens today at 8 AM

New York clinic with a invisalign specialty that covers tooth decay treatment by implication, across 10 documented services — 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.

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?
