The American Dental Association and your gentle dentist in Gaithersburg, MD recommend twice-yearly exams and teeth cleanings. If you haven’t scheduled your first exam and teeth cleaning for the new year, or if you’re new to the area, we encourage you to give our dental office a call.

We offer comprehensive dental services to keep you smiling all year and cosmetic dentistry if you’re looking to improve the appearance of your smile.

Your Dentist in Gaithersburg, MD Welcomes Patients of All Ages

At Lakeforest Dental Associates, we treat your entire family—from grandparents to children and everyone in between.

We provide age-appropriate dentistry based on your needs and where you are in your dental health.

Why Twice-Yearly Dental Exams and Teeth Cleanings?

Dr. Neil Daftary and Dr. Robert Zaner believe in proactive dentistry—spotting emerging dental health issues before they evolve into costly and tooth-compromising dental problems. When we address dental health issues early, it generally means less invasive therapies later, too.  

If your dentist in Gaithersburg, MD detects gum health problems in the pre-stage—gingivitis—he can often reverse this situation before you develop periodontal disease. If he spots a small cavity, he can treat it early and save you potential pain, tooth loss, or the need for a dental crown.

Kick-Off the New Year with Healthy Habits

Many of us make New Year’s resolutions, but sometimes we forget about our oral care. If you did not visit the dentist at least twice last year for dental exams and teeth cleanings, we encourage you to do so this year.

It’s never too late to develop healthy habits.
