Georgetown Smile

Dr. A. J. Peretz acknowledges that the increasing sophistication of dental and medical technology creates a potential for making dental practices more impersonal, and he vows to prevent that from happening at Georgetown Smile. Dr. Peretz, a third-generation dentist who was recently selected as one of the top dentists in the Washington area, joined the profession because he likes interacting with patients and enjoys the satisfaction he feels after helping individuals overcome dental challenges. The other Georgetown Smile dental professionals share his commitment to avoiding dispassionate service. Georgetown Smile’s staff embraces the use of modern technology in diagnosing and treating dental conditions. Such diagnostic tools as intraoral cameras and digital x-rays remarkably enhance the dentist’s ability to diagnose dental issues quickly and accurately. In addition, these tools benefit patients in other ways. The intraoral camera, for example, allows a patient to see what the dentist sees on a computer monitor, facilitating dentists’ ability to describe and obtain approval for recommended procedures. Georgetown Smile’s digital x-rays provide a number of benefits, among which is reducing patients’ radiation exposure. Georgetown Smile’s team utilizes these technological advances as tools to help patients, as opposed to barriers to effective, personal treatment. Georgetown Smile’s team emphasizes its commitment to recognizing patients as individuals through the treatment rooms’ amenities, such as blankets and headrest pillows. These items can make a real difference to a patient. Likewise, the practice provides patients with headphones and relaxing music to create a calm environment. To improve clients’ abilities to attend to their dental health within their budgets, Georgetown Smile provides affordable packages of preventive services for patients without insurance. In addition, Georgetown Smile belongs to CareCredit, through which patients can make monthly payments for more involved services. Insured patients can work with Georgetown Smile’s insurance specialist to navigate the sometimes complex payment process.
