General & Preventive Dentistry

Exceptional Dental Care in Bethesda

As general dentists, Dr. Dougherty, Dr. Klotz, or Dr. Schlossberg will become your partner in optimizing and maintaining oral health. Did you know that oral cancer claims more than 8,000 American lives every year? Or that gum disease affects 80% of adults? Our goal is to provide you with the oral healthcare resources you need to prevent these and other serious dental/oral health problems.

Modern tools make general dentistry more comfortable and accurate than ever. During your exam, we'll perform a thorough oral cancer screening with quick and comfortable ViziLite technology. Dr. Dougherty, Dr. Klotz, or Dr. Schlossberg will also perform a tooth-by-tooth inspection with DIAGNOdent laser cavity detection. We will  assess your gums for disease. Diseased gum tissue can be rehabilitated with non-surgical periodontal therapy.

An unhealthy mouth will cause you enormous amounts of grief. Oral bacteria can lead to chronic bad breath, gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss. Dr. Dougherty, Dr. Klotz, or Dr. Schlossberg will help you maintain a confident, natural smile for a lifetime of lasting oral health. The dentists perform most general dental procedures, including some oral surgery and TMJ therapy, in the comfort of our Bethesda dental office.

Your Smile is Your Greatest Asset!
