Bethesda Dental Care - Robert S Herman We are a Family Dentistry Practice located 2 blocks from the Bethesda Metro Center in downtown Bethesda, MD committed to providing high quality affordable dental care for everyone. Unlike most offices in Bethesda, we "stand out" in a small 2 story building with free onsite private parking. We combine State of the Art Technologies and old-fashioned customer service to provide high quality dentistry in a relaxed pressure free setting.

Also, bring a photo ID and insurance information (member ID, mailing address to submit insurance claims) to your appointment.
Services
We are different. At Bethesda Dental Care, we strive for excellence every day not just in the quality of dental care we provide but also in customer service and patient satisfaction. When it comes to dental treatment, there are many treatment options available with varying costs. We will objectively present multiple treatment options including the benefits and shortcomings of each and allow the patient to select the treatment that best suits his or her needs.No hard sells here! We're here to help patients achieve and maintain healthy teeth and gums-not to convince them to spend more time or money than is necessary.
We strive constantly to make your life easier, and that goes beyond our friendly and professional service. We're happy to work within your busy schedule, making appointments in the early morning and evening hours to accommodate your every need. In addition, our range of services includes crowns and bridges, bonding, implant services, dentures, periodontal therapy (gum treatment), root canal therapy and more.
Dr. Herman accepts reimbursement from all standard indemnity insurance plans. Most PPO plans allow subscribers to receive dental care "out of network" at a slightly higher fee. Bethesda Dental Care welcomes all persons with PPO insurance plans. Dr. Herman does not accept DMO or HMO insurance. In recent years there has been a significant increase in managed dental health care in which insurance groups make contracts with local companies to provide dental care for specified fees and with numerous regulations and stipulations for patients.
If you'd prefer to avoid years of wearing noticeable metal wires and brackets, Sure Smile is a much subtler and more convenient orthodontic option! Sure Smile involves the routine use of clear, custom aligners, that are worn a few weeks at at time. We provide a set of aligners and each aligner in the set is worn for a few weeks so that your teeth gradually shift into the desired position.

I legitimately have been going here for 20 years. Tremendous, accurate, compassionate care that isn't in business to sell you products and services you don't need. They care for you like they care for themselves. Best dentist in the area. Give them a call.

Very helpful when I was trying to find parking. I found it easily (unusual for me) and it was free! Nice homey office which can be hit or miss sometimes but was a hit. Office was very clean and neat. The best part of the cleaning was the very pleasant hygienist. She did so well. I had a lot of build up and now my mouth feels very clean and fresh. The doctor was great too.

You can tell he actually cared about oral health and not the money. He saw something suspicious and did what I believe was a bite wing to be sure nothing was there. And I thought he was going to say I needed to come back for another cleaning in a month due to my plaque (which I would've had to pay out of pocket for) but he said I was good to wait 6 months. Highly recommend this place

I and members of my family have been patients with Dr Robert Herman and Bethesda Dental Care for over 20 years. I receive tremendous customer service from Heather at the front desk and excellent health care from Dr Herman and Laura the hygienist who is assigned to me. During my time as a patient, I had an issue that could have gone bad. At the same time Dr Herman was planning on going out of town for the week.

On Super Bowl Sunday, prior to leaving town, he met me at his office and stabilized the issue, and fully corrected it after he arrived back in town. Who does that? That you Dr Herman and all the staff at Bethesda Dental Care.

The owner is just great, I am from Europe and the prices are insane when you compare it to Europe, but I've never experienced such a great dental service in my life.

Dr Herman and the entire dental team are excellent. My spouse, 3 children and I have been going there for 10 years. Their bedside manner, dental quality and attention to detail are excellent.

I've been a patient of Dr. Bob's since soon after he opened his practice in the mid-1990s. This place is the best. Seriously - in a world of impersonal medical/dental etc. care driven by marketing and big-practice metrics, Dr. Herman and his long-time crew (Heather, Liz) provide a refuge and first-rate care. I hate the idea of going to the dentist but I actually enjoy going to Bethesda Dental Care.

Best dentist practice ever. I used to dread getting my teeth cleaned but it's always pain-free at Bethesda Dental Care. The staff is knowledgeable and so friendly, my whole family goes here and we all look forward to going to the dentist.

I have been going here for years. When I made appointments I was always see on time. Dr. Herman takes as much time as needed to discuss your oral health. Really, who wants to see their dentist? But, this is the dentist you want to see.

Husband and wife, 65. This is long overdue. We've been Dr. Herman's patients for about eight years. It's like stepping back in time before huge practices became the norm. Dr. Herman stays current with all of the cutting edge technology. It's obvious he enjoys his work and my husband and I have complete faith in him. Everyone who works in the office is pleasant. Heather greets you like an old friend.

I adore Liz B. so much that every time I visit, I make her promise she'll never leave. There's parking right outside the door. Last year I needed my first root canal and Dr. Herman recommended Tony Hsu who was excellent.

Excellent care! Dr Herman has been my dentist for over 20 years and I have been nothing but happy with the care provided. My children love going to the dentist, that's how cool he is! Always up to date with the latest technology. Friendly and knowledgeable staff and they will not "sell" you anything you don't need. Highly recommended for the entire family!

I have been going to Dr. Herman for approximately 12 years because he is the best at being a good doctor and not a salesperson. In my experience, a lot of dentist push services that seem to benefit their pocket more than your oral hygiene. He does excellent work and he's personable.

I've been a patient of Dr. Herman for about 20 years and that's saying something since I switch medical providers easily. He and his staff are not just good dental providers, but nice people as well. My young adult sons are now also patients of his, which is the best compliment I can pay.

Dr. Herman and his team are wonderful. I've been seeing this dentist for about 2.5 years and have been very happy with their service and care for their patients. They are very organized; they send you either an email or text to confirm the appointment a few days before instead of phone call, if you prefer. They have early and late hours to accommodate work and school schedules and I never had a problem scheduling a convenient time for me.

They also are always on time. I rarely wait to be seen by the hygienist for a cleaning or by the dentist for an exam. They provide high-quality dental health care and do not try to sell you services/products that you don't need. Their costs are reasonable and well worth it. I highly recommend Dr. Herman and his team!
