Our office

Up in Suite 1350 of the Barlow Building, the office is bright with natural light, live plants and colourful art on the walls. Dr. Gotsiridze and the team work one-to-one with patients of all ages, for healthy teeth and a smile that lasts a lifetime.

Passing along knowledge is our focus; correcting problems when they arise is our expertise.

What sets us apart

Three things you will notice.

The practice is rooted in evidence-based dental care, and in treating every patient like family. Here is what that looks like from the chair.

01

Your own teeth come first

The worry: being talked into work you do not need.

Dr. Gotsiridze knows your natural teeth are far better than anything he can replace them with. He recommends treatment only when the evidence shows it is necessary, and always starts with the most conservative approach.

Dr. George Gotsiridze, DMD.
02

Every step explained

The worry: nodding along to a diagnosis you do not understand.

We educate our patients and treat them as partners in their own care. You see your X-rays and camera images on screen, your options are explained, and your questions are answered before anything begins.

03

A calm, bright office

The worry: an office that makes you tense before you sit down.

Natural light from wide windows, live plants and art on the walls, and a team that is warm, people-oriented and gets to know each patient on a personal level.

What people ask about most.

All-on-4® same-day teeth

Four implants carry a full arch of new teeth, and the teeth can be placed the same day as the implants, so there is no wait for the restored smile.

Dental implants

A titanium post, the same metal used in replacement hips and knees, is placed in the jawbone and a replacement tooth is fixed to it.

Zoom whitening

Philips Zoom in the chair: three 15-minute applications of gel under the light, and teeth up to eight shades lighter within the hour.

Porcelain veneers

Thin custom shells for the front of the teeth. Dr. Gotsiridze makes a model of your teeth, and a dental technician makes the veneers from it.

Technology

See what the dentist sees.

Advancements in methods, materials and technology improve both the experience and the result. These are the tools that help Dr. Gotsiridze find problems early and show them to you.

  • Digital X-raysOn screen in seconds and easy to enlarge, with up to 90% less radiation than traditional X-rays.
  • DIAGNOdent®Finds cavities hiding in places regular X-rays cannot, before they grow.
  • Intraoral cameraClear, enlarged pictures of hard-to-see places, shown to you while your care is explained.
  • Oral cancer screeningPart of every regular exam, to catch early signs while they are most treatable.

Common questions

What people ask before they book.

Do you take my insurance?

We accept most major PPO plans, including Cigna, Delta Dental, Humana, Guardian, MetLife PDP Plus, DHA, Sun Life and UnitedHealthcare/DBP, as well as most major credit cards. The team will help with claims and paperwork. Plans change, so please call to check yours before your visit.

What happens at my first visit?

We review your dental and medical history forms and take X-rays of your teeth and mouth. Dr. Gotsiridze then goes through the X-rays with you, helps you build your own treatment plan and answers your questions. At your next visit a hygienist cleans and polishes your teeth. Bring your completed patient information form and your insurance card.

How long does an appointment take?

Allow between 45 and 90 minutes. The American Dental Association recommends a checkup and cleaning every six months.

I get nervous at the dentist. Can you help?

Tell us when you book. We understand that you, or your child, may feel anxious, and our goal is to make you feel comfortable while we provide the best possible care. Nothing is done without first being explained.

Can you help with snoring or sleep apnea?

Yes. The TAP® (Thornton Adjustable Positioner) holds the lower jaw forward so the airway stays open during the night. It is non-invasive, fully adjustable, and treats snoring and sleep apnea without surgery, a CPAP mask or medication.

I have chipped or knocked out a tooth. What should I do?

Call the office straight away on (301) 652-1545. Any dental injury, even one that seems mild, needs to be examined by a dentist immediately, because a neighbouring tooth can be injured without it being obvious.

Where exactly are you?

In Suite 1350 of the Barlow Building, 5454 Wisconsin Avenue, Chevy Chase, Maryland 20815. We serve Chevy Chase, Bethesda and Washington, DC.

Can I manage my appointments online?

Yes. The Patient Login lets you confirm appointments, choose email, text or voicemail reminders, pay your bill, print flex spending and tax receipts, and see your dental images and X-rays. Ask at your next visit if you need an account set up.
