We are a periodontal practice in Southern Maryland devoted to restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile using  state-of-the-art procedures that will result in beautiful, long lasting smiles!  Dr. Amal Rastogi has speciality training in the placement of dental implants and his primary goal for his patients is for them to achieve optimal oral health through the treatment and prevention of gum disease.

High Standards

A standard of excellence in personalized dental care enables us to provide the quality periodontal/dental services our patients deserve.  We provide a lengthy appointment for the analysis of the problem, diagnosis of the case, comprehensive treatment planning followed by a customized treatment plan to achieve your optimal dental health.  Our office prides itself with the time devoted to each patient.   Should a dental emergency occur, we make every effort to see and care for you as soon as possible.

Education & Prevention

As a practice, we are true believers that education and prevention are the keys to optimal periodontal/dental health.  We strive to provide dental health care” vs. “disease care”.  Early recognition of periodontal diseases is the best friend for the patient.  That is the reason why we focus on thorough examinations – evaluating the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer examinations and taking complete series of x-rays, a panoramic x-ray (panorex) and/or C.T. Scans when indicated.   We also know that routine professional cleanings, flossing and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease.  Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health.  A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.  As you are aware there is a direct relationship between periodontal diseases and heart disease, diabetes, pregnancy, low birth-weight babies and respiratory problems.

Uncompromising Safety

Infection control in our office is vital to our practice.  To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Maryland Occupational  Safety and  Health Administration (MOSH) and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

Training & Expertise

As your dental health professionals, we want you to be confident knowing that we are a team of highly trained and skilled clinicians.  We pride ourselves in providing the care you need to keep your smile healthy.  To give you the best possible service and results, we are committed to continuing education.  We attend  lectures, meetings,  periodontal/implant and dental seminars to stay informed of newest techniques, the latest products, and the newest equipment that a modern dental office can utilize to provide state-of-the-art dental care.  Also, being members of various professional  associations helps us to stay abreast of the changes and recommendations for our profession.

A Positive Experience

Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success.  We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience.  Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
