Complete dental care for your whole family
From routine cleanings to crowns, implants, Invisalign and cosmetic treatments, Shady Grove Dental Care offers the care most families need under one roof. Dr. Shalini Chittamuri and our team focus on prevention, explain every option clearly and build a plan around your needs and budget.
Preventive care
Dental cleanings
Professional cleanings remove plaque, tartar and stains, then polish your teeth to help keep your gums healthy and prevent cavities. Family and general dentistry
Fluoride treatment
A professional fluoride treatment strengthens enamel and helps protect teeth against decay.
Dental sealants
A thin protective coating on the chewing surfaces of back teeth that helps keep out food and bacteria. Placed in a single visit.
Oral hygiene evaluation
We review how you care for your teeth at home and give you personalized tips to keep your smile healthy between visits.
Oral cancer screening
As part of your exam, a UV light helps the doctor spot abnormal tissue early, when it's easiest to treat.
Gum health
We monitor your gums at every visit and treat gum disease with deep cleanings, maintenance visits and our gentle Gemini diode laser. Gum disease treatment
Diagnostic care
Comprehensive oral exam
A thorough check of your teeth, gums and mouth, typically every six months, to catch problems early. Looking for a second opinion? We're happy to help.
Digital X-rays
Help us find decay, bone problems and other issues we can't see in a visual exam. Digital X-rays use less radiation than film and appear on screen instantly. Learn more about our technology.
Restorative care
Tooth-colored fillings
Composite fillings repair cavities with a natural-looking material that blends with your teeth.
Dental crowns
A custom cap that restores a badly damaged or weakened tooth when a filling isn't enough. Crowns and bridges
Bridges
Replaces one or more missing teeth by anchoring replacement teeth to crowns on the neighboring teeth.
Implant restorations
Implants are placed by our partner specialist, and Dr. Chittamuri designs and fits the crowns, bridges and implant dentures on top. More about implants
Root canal therapy
Removes infected or damaged tissue inside a tooth and seals it, relieving pain and saving your natural tooth. We coordinate care with a trusted endodontist when needed. Root canal care
Extractions
When a tooth can't be saved, we numb the area and remove it gently, then talk through replacement options.
Dentures and partials
Complete dentures
Replace all the teeth in an upper or lower arch. They can rest on the gums or snap onto implants for a more secure fit. Dentures and partials
Partial dentures
Replace a few missing teeth and attach to your natural teeth, crowns or implants. See our denture care tips.
Cosmetic dentistry
Cosmetic bonding
Tooth-colored resin that repairs chips, closes small gaps and reshapes teeth, usually in one visit.
Porcelain veneers
Thin, custom porcelain shells made by a dental lab and bonded to your teeth for a natural, long-lasting look.
Teeth whitening
In-office KöR whitening plus custom take-home trays for brighter, longer-lasting results, even on stubborn stains. KöR teeth whitening
Gum contouring and smile makeovers too. See cosmetic dentistry in Rockville.
Invisalign clear aligners
Invisalign
Straighten your teeth with nearly invisible, removable aligners and no brackets or wires. You switch to a new set about every two weeks, and our iTero 3D scanner means no messy molds. Invisalign works for many teens and adults. More about Invisalign
Comfort and sedation
Nitrous oxide
Often called laughing gas, it's breathed through a small nose mask to help you relax. The effects wear off quickly once it's removed.
Local anesthesia
Numbs just the area being treated, with a topical gel or injection, so you stay comfortable during your procedure.
Dental emergencies
Toothache, broken or knocked-out tooth? Same-day visits whenever possible. Emergency care
Insurance and financing
In-network with BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, MetLife, Guardian, GEHA, Humana and more, plus financing through CareCredit, Cherry and HFD. Details
