Whether handling a routine, scheduled appointment or a dental emergency, the team at Georgetown Smile makes every effort to provide a pleasant experience. Toward that endeavor, the practice employs recent technological advancements in dental care equipment, and patients experience the benefits of less discomfort and less time in the chair. The x-ray equipment utilized by Georgetown Smile is a modern digital model, eschewing the older radiation-intensive technology. The x-ray machine at the practice uses 80% less radiation and produces very accurate digital images, allowing the practitioners to use the results in a number of different applications. Georgetown Smile updated their handpieces, or drills, replacing the air-driven models with electric powered devices. Electric devices operate at a much lower volume, reducing the feared high-pitched whir of an air-driven device. The electric models produce less vibration as well, shielding the patients of Georgetown Smile from unneeded discomfort. These features are vital when performing a root canal, as the use of electric powered dental handpieces allow the dentists at Georgetown Smile to complete the procedure quicker and with more comfort than with traditional air-driven models. Georgetown Smile is equipped with an intraoral camera, a machine that allows the team to analyze different angles in the mouth that were previously inaccessible. Patients can follow along with the dentist’s findings on a monitor, seeing first-hand what the doctor recommends and why. In addition, the intraoral camera produces a digital image that facilitates approval of procedures from insurance companies. The images speed up the administrative process and reduce a patient’s wait time for a procedure.

Georgetown Smile is currently accepting new patients, and the team of dental professionals ensures each patient, new and recurring, is treated in a personal, caring manner. Georgetown Smile is located along MacArthur Boulevard in Washington, D. C. and books appointments Monday through Friday, and one Saturday per month.
