Family Dentistry

Greenbelt Dental Associates is not just a dental practice that has been taking care of patients from Greenbelt, Beltsville, Lanham, Riverdale, Hyattsville, Glenn Dale, and surrounding areas for 20 years; it is a family. Each of our patients is thought of as an extension of our family and treated with compassion and genuine care.

We like to work together with parents, children, and even grandparents to set great examples for each other and encourage healthy smiles. It’s never too early to start setting the groundwork for good oral hygiene habits!

The Dental Examination

Regular dental examinations at least twice a year are recommended by the American Dental Association for children and adults of all ages. During your examination, the dentist will check each tooth and the surrounding tissues including your gums, tongue, and cheeks.

By doing this, the dentist will inspect every tooth for cavities, assess plaque levels to determine if gum disease is present, and look for any damages, like a broken tooth. We also will provide oral cancer examinations and examine your temporomandibular joint, or TMJ. This will allow us to create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

To ensure that your teeth and supporting structures are healthy, our staff may take a complete set of oral X-ray images during your initial visit. This allows us to diagnose cavities, identify any pre-existing bone loss, and check for any abnormal lesions. Radiographs are not mandatory, but they are highly recommended once a year and before certain dental procedures.

Our plan of action will be thoroughly explained to you, so a clear understanding is reached before any dental work is started. It is important to us that our patients know what the finish line looks like and what we can do to get there.

Dental Cleaning

Professional cleanings are encouraged to prevent or slow the process of gingivitis (gum disease), dental decay, and periodontitis (bone loss).

While dental decay and periodontitis are the top causes of tooth loss, it is important to remember that proper oral hygiene must be kept up at home on a daily basis. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding certain foods and drinks that may be harmful to your teeth. During your visit, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have regarding your personal oral hygiene and how to best care for your teeth.

I find all the employees at Greenbelt Dental Associates to be wonderfully warm, friendly and knowledgeable. Lydia is a wonderful at keeping track of appointments and billings. Alice is the most outstanding dental hygienist I have ever seen! She does extremely detailed, caring and painless work and makes my teeth feel like new. Dr. Galvan and Sandra have done superb, thorough work on my teeth and kept them in wonderful condition! I feel very blessed to have the employees at Greenbelt Dental Associates taking care of my dental needs.

My experience at Greenbelt Dental Associates is the absolute best. I have been going there for over 20 years, first with Dr. Allen (now retired), and now with Dr. Emma Galvan and Dr. Karl Meek. You will not be disappointed. They both are experienced dentists who know their business, and they insist on only the best standards in the office. I referred a friend recently who had some major dental issues, and my friend is very pleased with the services she is getting in this office. In addition, all the staff members are incredible. Lydia is the first person you will meet, and she handles scheduling and accounts with a smile and flexibility. Sandra is a dental assistant who will treat you kindly and with professionalism. Alice is the dental hygienist who has cleaned my teeth well for all these years.
