Dr. Robert S. Herman opened Bethesda Dental Care in 1991 after earning his D.D.S. from the University of Maryland and completing a general-practice residency at York Hospital in Pennsylvania. Born and raised in the Washington, D.C. area, he returned home with a simple mission: provide honest, top-quality dentistry to neighbors in an approachable setting.
From day one, the practice has matched state-of-the-art tools with what patients value most—clear choices and zero pressure. Dr. Herman presents every clinically sound option and lets you decide what fits your needs and budget. Comfort is woven into every visit, too; nitrous oxide is always complimentary because easing anxiety is “part of the whole treatment process, not an extra”.
Over three decades, Bethesda Dental Care has grown through continual education and technology upgrades—think digital imaging, intraoral cameras, and same-day CEREC crowns—while earning repeat “Top-Rated Dentist” honors from Washington Consumers’ Checkbook. Today, Dr. Herman and his close-knit team remain committed to the values that started it all: treating patients like family, investing in leading techniques, and delivering the ethical, compassionate care Bethesda deserves.
