Chasing smiles across Chevy Chase.
A neighborhood dental studio built on thirty-five years of trusting relationships — now under a new name, with the same chairside manner. We blend unhurried preventive care with modern restorative and cosmetic dentistry, one calm appointment at a time.
A studio
with a memory.
For more than three decades, patients in Chevy Chase knew this address as the practice of Dr. Peter G. Savramis — a dentist remembered for unhurried appointments, plain-spoken explanations, and a gentle hand with the anxious. That inheritance shapes everything we still do.
Today, as Chasing Smiles Dental Studio, we've kept the chair you trusted and rebuilt almost everything around it: digital scanning in place of putty impressions, same-week ceramic crowns, low-radiation 3D imaging, and a calm, light-filled suite designed to feel less like a clinic and more like a quiet room in a friend's home.
“We don't sell smiles. We help you catch up with your own.”
Honest care,
honest pricing.
No surprise line items, no upsold treatment plans. Below is what most patients pay out-of-pocket for common visits — we accept most major PPO insurance and offer interest-free in-house payment plans on restorative work over $500.
Prices shown are cash / out-of-pocket rates. We file most PPO plans in-network, and your final cost may be lower after benefits. Call us with your insurance card and we'll verify before your visit — never after.
Book an appointmentWhat you'll
actually notice.
The small things tend to matter more than the technology. We've designed the studio around the parts of a dental visit that patients quietly dread — and tried to make them disappear into the background.
On-time, every time
We block 60 minutes for new-patient exams and 45 for hygiene — not the 12 you'll get at a chain. If we run late, we text you before you leave home.
Plans in plain English
Every treatment plan is printed in language a 12-year-old could follow — with the optional and the necessary clearly separated, and the prices next to each.
Gentle by default
Topical numbing before any injection, warm blankets on every chair, and a stop-signal you can raise mid-procedure. We've never met an anxious patient we couldn't slow down for.
Transparent billing
We verify your benefits before the visit, not after. You'll know your out-of-pocket cost to the dollar before we sit you in the chair — and we'll file the claim for you.
Same-week ceramics
Our in-house milling means crowns, veneers, and onlays are often seated in a single week — no temporary, no second numb, no two-week wait.
Family welcome
From a first cleaning at age three through to grandparent dentures, we keep the whole household on one calendar — and one set of records.
A space that doesn't feel clinical.
I came in for a cleaning and left with a plan I actually understood. That's never happened to me at a dentist before.— Marisol R., Patient since 2022
