Answers to the questions we hear most often. Don't see yours? Give us a call at 301-829-2220.

Are you accepting new patients?

Yes! New patients of all ages are always welcome. Call us at 301-829-2220 or request an appointment online and our front office will get you set up.

You can request an appointment through our online booking form. Our team will contact you to confirm a date and time that works for you.

What are your office hours?

We're open Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm and Saturday from 8am to 2pm. We are closed on Sundays.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

For dental emergencies like a severe toothache, broken tooth, or knocked-out tooth, call us right away at 301-829-2220 — we'll do our best to see you as quickly as possible and get you out of pain. However, if you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency — difficulty breathing or swallowing, uncontrolled bleeding, or serious facial trauma — call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room immediately.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Please bring a photo ID, your dental insurance information (if you have coverage), a list of any medications you take, and any recent dental X-rays if they're available. Arriving a few minutes early helps us complete your paperwork before your appointment.

Do you see children?

Absolutely. We are a family practice and provide gentle pediatric dental care. We love helping kids build healthy habits and positive feelings about the dentist from an early age.

I'm nervous about dental visits. Can you help?

You're not alone — and yes. Our practice is known for its gentle, patient approach. Dr. Necciai's painless anesthesia technique and our minimally invasive treatment philosophy help even anxious patients feel relaxed and comfortable.

How often should I have a cleaning and checkup?

For most patients we recommend a professional cleaning and exam every six months. If you have gum disease or other ongoing concerns, we may recommend more frequent visits tailored to your needs.

Do you offer options for replacing missing teeth?

Yes — including dental implants, bridges, and full or partial dentures. For many patients, implant-supported overdentures are the best long-term, healthy option for replacing missing teeth. We'll walk you through the choices at a consultation.
