There is no substitute for personalized one-on-one care

Richard M. Williams, DDS, has spent nearly 20 years providing thousands of people with the kind of care that you might not expect from an oral surgeon. He's mastered the skills needed to treat the wide range of disorders that can affect your oral health, and he's listened to his patients and learned a great deal about what they want when they need oral surgery. He knows that you might be anxious, with questions like these in mind:

Will it hurt?
What if there are complications?
How will I feel afterward?
How long before I'm back to normal?

Dr. Williams understands your concerns. In fact, he's made this aspect of patient care a cornerstone of his training (he even participated in research on pain and anxiety control for the National Institutes of Health) and of his practice. In his Chevy Chase and Germantown offices, Dr. Williams and his experienced staff do whatever it takes to make sure you're informed about your treatment and are as comfortable as possible.  

"I believe that spending time with my patients before they undergo their treatment is a vital part of quality care. First, I want you to become comfortable with my staff and me, and to then finally understand what kind of treatment you need and why. I also need to make sure I understand you concerns. I want to know if you're anxious and why, what you pain threshold is an how you've responded on the past to dental work. Together, we'll figure out exactly how to make your experience here as comfortable and pain-free as possible. Only then can I give you the completely positive experience I believe you deserve."
