Dr. Toshar Taneja is a leader in general and cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics. Known for his calm demeanor and meticulous approach, he uses digital tools and technologies combined with advanced restorative techniques to ensure exceptional clinical results. Sensitive to his patients’ needs, he involves them throughout the treatment planning process to help educate them and put them at ease.
Dr. Taneja is passionate about restoring his patients’ smiles through cosmetic bondings and porcelain restorations that are both precise and esthetic. “My aim as a dentist is to always get the most natural looking result,” he says. “I feel most satisfied when patients are unable to differentiate between a restoration and their own teeth, whether with direct composite bondings, porcelain crowns or veneers.”
Dr Taneja is highly regarded for his orthodontic skills using fixed orthodontics and other modalities like Invisalign. Building on his extensive background in clinical orthodontics, he takes into account the entire occlusal scheme (TMJ, muscles and teeth) to deliver comprehensive oral care and holistic smile design.
As a dedicated practitioner, Dr. Taneja strives to continually increase his knowledge and understanding of the masticatory system. In 2019, he completed advanced clinical training at The Dawson Academy focused on functional occlusion and esthetic excellence. Dr. Taneja says, “The desire to continuously refine my craft combined with my unwavering commitment to quality propels my personal and professional growth.”
Dr. Taneja is proud to be associated with the following organizations:
Prior to moving to the United States, Dr. Taneja practiced as a general dentist and orthodontist in New Delhi, India where he earned the distinction of Member Orthodontist from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Scotland. After moving to the U.S., he received his DMD degree from Boston University’s Goldman School of Dental Medicine and was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society. More recently, Dr. Taneja became a Scholar of The Dawson Academy.
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 followed Dr. Taneja here from another practice because he has always provided great care, and I am so happy with the experience at Washington Center for Dentistry. Dr. Taneja is incredibly friendly, professional, and great at diagnosing and treating issues with my teeth (I unfortunately grind them which has resulted in painful cracks and other issues more than once). I also have loved every dental assistant with whom I have interacted. All of my cleanings and procedures have been done quickly, gently, and efficiently. I've never had to wait past my appointment time and am always taken back right away. The administrative staff is also great -- super friendly on the phone and I am always able to get an appointment quickly when I have a problem.
