General Dentistry
Our general dentistry services focus on preventive care, restorative treatments, and oral health maintenance. We offer comprehensive exams, cleanings, fillings, and gum disease management to ensure long-term dental wellness. Our approach emphasizes early detection and minimally invasive techniques to preserve natural teeth and promote overall health.
Cosmetic Dentistry
Transform your smile with our aesthetic dentistry solutions, including veneers, teeth whitening, and bonding. Our team combines artistic skill with advanced materials to create natural-looking results that boost confidence. We prioritize personalized treatment plans to address discoloration, misalignment, and other cosmetic concerns.
Dental Implants
Restore missing teeth with durable, natural-feeling dental implants. Our process includes implant placement, bone grafting when needed, and custom restoration design. Implants provide a permanent solution that preserves jawbone health and mimics the function and appearance of natural teeth for improved quality of life.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Achieve a straighter smile discreetly with Invisalign clear aligners. Using SmartTrack material and digital planning, we correct misalignment issues like crowding and gaps without traditional braces. Removable aligners allow for easy eating and cleaning, with treatment typically completed in 12-18 months.
CEREC Same-Day Crowns
Repair damaged teeth in a single visit with CEREC technology. Our CAD/CAM system creates precise ceramic crowns, inlays, and onlays while you wait. This eliminates the need for temporary crowns and multiple appointments, providing durable, metal-free restorations that match your natural tooth color.

After years of trying to find a trustworthy dentist in the area, I'm very happy I found Bethesda smiles. I've been going here for about five years. They are very conservative and sensible with treatment plans. All around good people and stellar professionals that make me feel like they are prioritizing my well-being.

Everything about this office, from the receptionist welcome to the dental care is excellent. Dr. Hirschfeld is thorough, explains carefully what she is doing, responds to any questions, and administers anaesthetic with care and expertise. She is overseeing my Invisalign treatment and I am very pleased with it. I am 74 and this is the best dental experience I've ever had.

I had a bit of a dental emergency and Dr. Navabi and the office staff were very accommodating. He went so far as to do a procedure on his lunch hour so I would be taken care of that same day! I was totally impressed with the professionalism and skill shown by all.

I have been going here almost 10 years and love the team! Dr. Navabi went above and beyond on my most recent exam and even called the next day to talk about an issue we discussed during my exam. They truly are an amazing practice!
