A multi-specialty practice in downtown Washington, DC, led by prosthodontist Dr. Wanda Davidson. General dentists and specialists plan your care together, so nobody sends you across town for it.
years treating patients at this practice, in a career of more than fifty.
Training and honours held by our dentists
Patients and staff call Dr. Davidson simply Dr. D. Her practice also gives back to the DMV, with free dental care for patients in need who cannot afford it.
Why choose Davidson Dental
The practice’s own five reasons to choose it. The first three show in the rooms themselves.
The problem: a treatment plan split across offices that never speak to each other.
With several dentists in one office, the team builds a comprehensive plan together, from checkups and emergency care to restorations and implants, and works toward one goal: the healthiest, strongest smile you can have.
The problem: being sent across town, and then across town again.
The specialists are already here. Simple or complex, your treatment is handled within these walls, and your time goes back to work and family rather than travelling between practices.
The problem: treatment that takes more tooth than it needs to.
State-of-the-art techniques and tools, and high-quality materials such as dental porcelain and zirconia. Crowns, inlays and onlays can be metal-free, matched to your own enamel and fully biocompatible.
Dr. Davidson and her team treat people the way they deserve to be treated, with compassion and respect at every stage, and like a member of the dental family.
Virtually every major PPO plan, including the World Bank’s, the IMF’s and the Federal Government’s. We explain your coverage and handle the claims.
Tour our office

Meet the owner
A prosthodontist, the specialist in restoring and replacing teeth, known affectionately by her patients and staff as Dr. D. She builds care around relationships, and around what is right for each patient’s circumstances.
Dr. Davidson leads a team of general dentists and specialists who share one office, so whether you need a simple filling or an advanced prosthetic, no outside office is required.
Leads the practice. Three further years of specialty training in prosthodontics after dental school, finishing with a fellowship in implant prosthodontics.

Dentistry in downtown Washington, DC
From checkups and cleanings to dental implants and periodontal therapy. You are listened to, respected and comfortable, whichever of these brings you in.
A checkup and cleaning every six months, with an oral cancer screening at each one. If gum disease turns up, Dr. Winson, our periodontist, treats it here.
Rebuilding teeth to last is what a prosthodontist trains for. Metal-free crowns usually take two visits, and a root canal saves a tooth rather than losing it.
Every step of the implant process is done under one roof, with the dentists you already know, so there are no outside specialists to find or travel between.
Stains, chips and gaps, fixed as conservatively as the tooth allows. Invisalign straightens teeth with clear aligners instead of metal braces.
A post replaces the root, an abutment connects it, and a crown, bridge or denture sits on top. It fuses with the jawbone, which is what helps stop the bone loss that follows a missing tooth.
Designed by a prosthodontist. Traditional removable full and partial dentures, or implant-retained, which Dr. Davidson recommends in most cases because they stay put.
The laser removes diseased gum tissue and leaves healthy tissue intact, and it encourages new tissue to grow. Minimal soreness afterwards, and faster healing.
Done in the office in a single visit of around ninety minutes, with a take-home kit for touch-ups afterwards, so the result lasts.
Advanced technology
State-of-the-art tools make a visit more comfortable, speed treatment up and raise accuracy. You will meet them at your first appointment.
New patients & emergencies
Emergency appointments go to the earliest time available, and the team can talk you through first aid on the phone while you wait. You hear the likely cost and timing before you commit to anything.
We are happy to work with virtually every major PPO plan, including the coverage of the Federal Government, the World Bank and the IMF. We estimate your out-of-pocket cost and file the claims for you.
No dental insurance? CareCredit payment plans come in a range of lengths to fit your budget, with very little interest, or none at all on shorter plans.
For a limited time, in-office ZOOM! whitening is $499 rather than the regular $849, and the take-home trays are included. Mention it when you book.

Dr. Davidson is the best dentist I've had in my 32 years, and I've been through at least 6 or 7 dentists. She corrected a poorly-done root canal by a dentist in DuPont, as well as fixing several other cavities, all with a minimum of pain and, surprisingly, an almost pleasant dental experience. Everyone else I've come into contact with here has also been friendly and professional. I recommend this place to my friends.Neil M.Rockville, MD
I love this office. The specialists are the best. I get all the services I need in the same location. I started coming here a year ago and cannot say enough about the kindness and care everyone has shown me. I had extensive perio issues and was able to get in right away. I have been seeing Dr. Davidson ever since and she has gotten me on a good path to healthy teeth.Isabelle C.North Bethesda, MD
I cannot say enough about Dr. Davidson. She is a remarkable person and has a skilled, professional staff. She devotes a tremendous amount of time ensuring that patients are both comfortable and knowledgeable about the procedures they require. My family has been going to this practice since 2000 and we have always been extremely pleased.M.B.Potomac, MD
