WHAT TO EXPECT WITH US

Three simple steps to a healthier, happier smile — designed to be comfortable, clear, and stress-free from the moment you walk in.

01

Schedule Your Appointment

Call us at (301) 654-1100 or book online. We offer same-day and Saturday appointments so you never have to miss work or school.

02

Meet Dr. Agarwal

Dr. Agarwal will walk you through a thorough exam, explain your oral health clearly, and create a personalized treatment plan — with no pressure and no surprises.

03

Receive Your Care

Experience modern, comfortable dentistry using the latest techniques. From routine cleanings to same-day restorations, we're here for every smile in your family.

Yes — we're in-network with most major PPO plans, including Delta Dental, MetLife, Cigna, Aetna, Guardian, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, and Blue Cross Blue Shield. We also work with most out-of-network plans.

To keep things stress-free, we bill your insurance directly so you don't have to deal with paperwork or reimbursements. We also verify your benefits before your appointment, so you'll know exactly what's covered and what (if anything) you'll owe — no surprises at checkout.

Your first visit is unhurried and conversational — usually 45 to 60 minutes. Plan to arrive a few minutes early so we can finalize paperwork (or fill it out online beforehand to save time).

During your visit, you'll meet Dr. Agarwal for a comprehensive exam, digital X-rays (with 90% less radiation than traditional film), and a gentle cleaning. We'll walk you through everything we see, answer every question, and build a personalized care plan together — at your pace. No pressure, no upselling, ever.

You're not alone — many of our most loyal patients started out anxious. We've built our practice specifically around gentle, judgment-free care for nervous patients.

You'll have noise-cancelling headphones, Netflix overhead, warm blankets, and a numbing gel before any injection. For deeper anxiety, we offer nitrous oxide ("laughing gas") and oral sedation options so you stay calm and relaxed throughout. Most important: we move at your pace, explain everything before we do it, and stop the moment you raise your hand. Always.

Quality dental care should never be out of reach. For uninsured patients, we offer an in-house membership plan that covers two yearly cleanings, exams, and X-rays plus a meaningful discount on any additional treatment — for one flat annual fee.

For larger treatment plans, we partner with CareCredit and Sunbit for flexible 0% APR financing (subject to credit approval), with monthly payments you can fit into your budget. We also accept all major credit cards, HSA, and FSA. Just ask — we'll talk through every option openly.

Yes — dental emergencies don't wait, and neither do we. Call us before noon and we'll see you the same day, whether it's a sudden toothache, a broken crown, a chipped tooth, or a lost filling.

If you're a current patient calling after hours, our emergency line will get you to Dr. Agarwal directly. If you're not a patient yet, that's no problem — we welcome emergency walk-ins from across Bethesda and the DMV and prioritize getting you out of pain as quickly as possible. Call (301) 654-1100 any time.
