“The entire staff was so friendly and welcoming!! Courtney at the front desk was very professional and so helpful with my insurance issues. Dr Modarres took the time to explain everything to me. He was very patient and kind. Finally, my hygienist Sheyoka was amazing!! I haven’t been to the dentist in three years and she made me feel so comfortable and at ease. I can’t say enough great things about this office!”
Jessica F., Woodmark, MD
“I have to have gum recession treated and Dr. Modarres was so nice and calming. He provided me with details about my procedure. I think it was Rachael at the front desk who was friendly and professional. She offered me the option to run a test claim for my procedure and gave me a rough estimate of what the cost would be. So far I am happy with the service I have received.”

At Ellicott City Smiles Dental Group, we know how important it is to make informed decisions. These common questions and answers will help you feel confident about your options.
When it comes to your teeth, not just any place will do. To get the best care for you, a little research is necessary. Start by asking friends and family about their dentists. Chances are, if they had a positive experience, you will too.
Another option is searching online for a “dentist near me” or for a specific service, like “dentures in Ellicott City.” These search terms will turn up dental practices in your area. The next step is to check the websites for a few practices you’re interested in.
Look at their bios, their homepage, and their reviews to get a good picture of what to expect. Then, lastly, schedule a consultation. This visit will determine if the practice “clicks” for you.
The easiest way to find a dentist who places dental implants is to start online. Search for terms like “dental implants in Ellicott City” or “implant dentist near me” and review the top results. From there, visit each office’s website to make sure that they offer implants.
You should also look for details about the training and technology of each practice. These details matter when it comes to achieving successful outcomes and lowering the risk of complications.
Patient reviews can also tell you a lot about the comfort and overall experience of any given dental office. Once you’ve narrowed your list, schedule a consultation to ask questions about your case. At our Ellicott City practice, our team is always happy to explain your dental implant options in detail.
If you’re worried about the cost of dental care, focus on prevention first. Brushing, flossing, and regular checkups are the most affordable ways to avoid bigger problems later on. If you have the option of getting dental insurance, it can also reduce costs for necessary care—sometimes by a large margin.
At Ellicott City Smiles Dental Group, we never want finances to stand between you and a healthy smile. We offer flexible financing through Cherry and CareCredit, special offers throughout the year, and an in-house dental membership plan that provides savings on many services. Together, we can build a treatment and payment plan that works for your budget.
In the United States, becoming a dentist typically requires a four-year undergraduate degree followed by four years of dental school to earn a DDS or DMD. After that, dentists must pass national board exams and meet state licensing requirements before they can treat patients.
At our Ellicott City practice, our dentists strive to go above and beyond these basic requirements. Every year, they complete extensive continuing education courses, pursue advanced training, and stay current with the latest techniques and technologies so you receive the highest standard of care.
Calming sedation dentistry, thorough checkups, and teeth-straightening Invisalign are just a few of the many ways we help nearby patients smile brighter! Our office is located at 10132 Baltimore National Pike Suite C in Ellicott City. Our close proximity to the highway makes us an ideal fit for patients all over the area, including those looking for a dentist near Catonsville or a dental office near Columbia. You’ll find us near Sonic Drive-In, Sergio’s Fine Jewelers, and Race Pace Bicycles. If you have any trouble locating us, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
