Why Patients Love Dovedale Dental Care

Jai S.
Great Service. Had my semi annual cleanups there. Clean and neat place. Dr.Agarwal was very professional and did a fine job. I like the fact I was not asked to do anything extra unless absolutely needed. Even when I asked about teeth whitening, I was recommended to try over the counter option first before trying the more expensive expensive in clinic option. I’m an happy customer and would recommend them for anyone looking for a dental care.

Dr. Agerwal is very welcoming and really cares about you as the patient. For my crown visit he was very patient in giving more and more numbing shots (seems I need more than the next to stop feeling the drill) and reminded me not to worry and that he wanted me comfortable. In addition he has top of the line technology that makes xrays and scans which makes visits faster and more enjoyable. Lastly, shout out to Erin! Best clean you'll ever get and super awesome!
Thomas D.
Felt so welcome after my second visit with primary dentist, dental tech and front desk staff after long time relationship with a previous dental practice. They also accepted my new Kaiser Permanente Liberty Dental Plan. Doctor took the time and had a great conversation with me about the longer term care of my gums. Special shout out to my dental tech. Best cleaning ever while she kept me calm and relaxed! This dental practice is definitely a keeper!

Everytime I come to Dovedale Dental, everyone is so welcoming and friendly to me. They are super professional and do an EXCELLENT JOB with their work, especially the cleanings and root canals. My teeth shine so bright now thanks to them. I got a root canal done and it hasn’t given me any issues since. Dr. Agarwal and his staff are amazing!

Dr. Agarwal is both professional and warm at the same time. He answers all my questions and is patient. Love his staff. His hygienist is very friendly and also gentle when she cleans my teeth. His assistant is kind and puts me at ease during any procedure. The woman at the front desk is always smiling and ready to help. I’ll keep coming back to this practice:)

Dr. Argawal and his Team was professional, friendly and the appointment was timely. No waiting to be seen! That was refreshing. I felt comfortable with little anxiety.

We are new to MD and chose this practice based on geography. What luck! I really like Dr. Agarwal’s calm demeanor. He delivers information in a clear, straightforward, and non-judgmental manner. I set my kids’ appointments at the same time and they move us through quickly with on-time appointments. Front office is very friendly and helpful.

How We Treat Dental Emergencies

Step 1

Immediate Evaluation

We’ll assess your condition using digital X-rays and intraoral cameras to pinpoint the issue quickly and accurately.

Step 2

Pain Relief & Stabilization

Our first priority is getting you comfortable. We offer local anesthesia, gentle techniques, and optional sedation to ease your pain fast.

Step 3

Personalized Treatment Plan

Once stabilized, Dr. Agarwal will explain your treatment options — whether it's a filling, crown, root canal, extraction, or other solution.

Step 4

Aftercare & Follow-Up

You’ll leave with clear instructions and, if needed, a follow-up appointment to complete care and protect your long-term oral health.

How to Avoid Dental Emergencies

  • Visit us every 6 months for regular checkups and cleanings to maintain your oral health.
  • Wear a mouthguard during sports or physical activities to protect your teeth.
  • Avoid chewing hard items like ice, popcorn kernels, or pens, as they can damage your teeth.
  • Don’t use your teeth to open packages, bottles, or other items, as this can cause unnecessary wear.
  • Treat grinding or clenching (bruxism) early with a nightguard to prevent long-term damage.

Preventive care is your best defense — and we’re here to help you stay ahead of problems before they become emergencies.
