Our Dental Practice Philosophy

At Ronan Freyne, DMD, we strongly believe that a dentist cannot merely treat the teeth of a patient but rather must evaluate and treat the patient as a whole, comprehensively. What affects one part of the human system will eventually influence other parts of the body. Changes in the form or function of teeth, muscle, joints, bone or ligaments are interrelated and must be understood thoroughly in order to perform effective dental treatment. Dr. Ronan Freyne also knows there are commonalities among patients, but no two are the same. Whether you are coming in for a routine dental checkup, need a cosmetic dentist in your area, or are ready to rebuild your smile from root to crown with dental implants, time must be spent understanding your unique health needs, goals and desires. This type of individualized, patient-centric care is what sets our practice apart from the rest.

Dental Checkups
& Teeth Cleanings

For Chevy Chase Families

Checkups and cleanings are two of the most basic and essential tools in dentistry. They allow us to clean your teeth more thoroughly than you can at home, and they give us the chance to catch small dental issues early before they progress to bigger concerns. These preventive checkups are imperative for patients of all ages. By having two checkups and cleanings each year, we’ll be able to give you a healthy smile while saving you time, money, and discomfort down the road.

Invisalign® &
Six Month Smiles®

Straighten Your Smile

In the past, the solution to crooked teeth usually involved years of wearing unsightly metal braces. Thanks to Dr. Ronan Freyne, you now have other options. Invisalign provides a subtle, yet effective alternative that is perfect for image conscious teens and adults alike. For even faster care, Six Month Smiles focuses on only moving the teeth that show when you smile to help you get complete, dramatic results in just a fraction of the time needed by traditional orthodontics.

Frequently Asked Questions, Answered!

Our team loves being a resource for our patients. So, if you have a question for us – even if it seems small – don’t hesitate to let us know! If you can’t get on the phone right now, that’s okay too. Below, you will find the answers to FAQs.

What level of education is required to be a dentist?

After graduating high school, the aspiring dentist needs to earn their bachelor’s degree. Then, they must be accepted to one of 67 accredited dental schools in the U.S., which is where they will complete three years of in-classroom and hands-on training. Once they’ve earned their Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) or Doctor of Dental Sciences (DDS) degree, they can work as a dentist and begin their life-long commitment to continuing education and advanced training.

As for Dr. Freyne, he earned his undergraduate degrees from Georgetown University before attending the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. He earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine and underwent an externship as well as a general practice residency. Of course, his education and training did not end there. To this day, he pursues continuing education and advanced training to learn about the latest techniques and technology the dental field has to offer.

What do you do if you can't afford a dentist?

If you think that you can’t afford dental care, you may just not be familiar with the financial solutions we offer! In addition to helping our insured patients maximize their coverage, we help our patients without dental insurance make the cost more affordable with interest-free monthly payments. If you are interested in learning more about these, you’re welcome to give us a call or ask us any questions you have at your appointment.

Important note: Keeping your teeth and gums healthy requires a solid oral hygiene regimen as well as routine checkups and cleanings. If you skip these biannual visits, then any existing dental problems will continue to progress, negatively impacting your oral and overall health.

How do I get emergency dental care?

Many patients assume that they should go to the ER if they knock out a tooth, they are struggling with a painful toothache, or they have damaged a restoration. However, hospitals rarely have dentists on-staff, which means that they won’t be able to treat the root of the problem. For that reason, we only recommend going to the ER if you have a potentially life-threatening symptom (i.e., uncontrollable bleeding, trouble swallowing, difficulty breathing). In most other cases, you should call our Chevy Chase emergency dentists ASAP to schedule an appointment.

How much does a dental checkup & cleaning cost in Chevy Chase?

The cost of dental checkups and cleanings can vary depending on the patient. For example, if you have dental insurance, then there’s a chance that you won’t have to pay anything out-of-pocket! Of course, if you’re simply interested in learning the average price in the U.S., then the answer is $200 to $350.
