Highly Skilled, Scientific Approach

Having placed thousands of porcelain veneers and crowns—to create thousands of new smiles—our dentists every year are voted "Top Dentists" in Washingtonian Magazine, and The Washington Post states that our office "sets the bar, with its soothing atmosphere and latest in high-tech equipment."

And you won’t be surprised to learn that all of our dentists have earned dental degrees from the finest institutions in the nation. Their professional careers are dedicated to studying with top dental educators, with a commitment to "complete dentistry" vs. "repair dentistry." This concept focuses on total treatment, rather than treating one dental problem at a time.

Our Reviews

I was in DC for a summer internship and had to make an emergency dental appointment for HORRIBLE tooth pain that basically sprang up overnight. The doctors here were able to see me same-day (and the front desk had such compassion for me!). The doctors were able to quickly diagnose my problem and refer me to a specialist for a root canal— the specialist was incredible! I also want to note that my dentist at home consistently dismissed my complaints of sensitivity and pain. The dentists at this office were able to determine within minutes that I needed a root canal! I would give more than 5 stars if I could, and will absolutely be searching for a new dentist, who is as good as the dentists at Washington Center for Dentistry, when I return home.

I traveled from Manhattan to DC to do my Invisalign with Dr. Fordjour. I cannot rave about their level of skill, attentiveness and flexibility when scheduling enough. Dr. Fordjour and his team were incredible and made each trip 1000% worth it. If you are hesitant to travel to DC for your dental care take it from me- it's absolutely unquestionably worth it! I love my smile now more than ever and I won't ever see another dentist!
