Approximately five years ago, my dentist retired and sold her practice to Drs. Bryce Miller and…read moreMatt Chen. The practice was subsequently rebranded as Burtonsville Dental Suite or BDS. As with many changes, this one brought both anxiety and apprehension. I was uncertain if I would like the new dentists or how they approached dentistry. I was further stressed by what I would be forced to do if it turned out this change was not one that I could withstand. My stress levels were soon found to be unjustified. While I have had several visits with Dr. Chen, most of my time the past five years has been spent under the care of Dr. Miller. Therefore, this review will focus primarily on him. However, it should be noted that my comments pertain equally to everyone in this practice. After several routine visits for cleanings, it became necessary for me to have a crown which involves needles to numb the area. I have had a lifelong dislike of needles of any kind and for any reason. When I arrived for my procedure a bit early, I crossed paths with Dr. Miller and when he asked how I was, I told him I was stressed about the need for him to numb my mouth using needles. When he heard that, he stopped mid stride and told me that he did not want me to stress while waiting. He led me to the chair and told me he was exceptional with needles and had even numbed himself. I was skeptical. He gave me the first needle as quickly as possible and I very quickly learned that he was not exaggerating. I have never had an experience that was so pain free. This experience, as well as those that have followed have eliminated my fear of needles and injections. Over the years, I have come to trust, respect and admire Dr. Miller's dedication to his craft, as well as his compassion towards his patients. He takes the time to explain what he is doing and why. He listens to my concerns and he answers my questions. He speaks to me versus at me. During a procedure, he will not only tell me where he is in the process but will stop and ask me if I am okay or if I need a break. Dr. Miller is young. Very young! He is younger than my children. He is also up to date on the latest techniques and technology. The practice puts patient care ahead of profit. The office is state of the art. The visits are never rushed. The entire staff is professional, respectful and courteous. Whenever I have had any procedure performed, other than routine cleanings, Dr. Miller or a member of his team has called me to check on my recovery and ask if I need anything. When my wife had some extensive work done recently and had a problem, I called the office after hours and left a message detailing the issue. Within minutes, Dr. Miller called to obtain more details and ask if she needed to be seen immediately or could she wait until the next morning. Dr. Miller is incredibly passionate about his work and compassionate about his patients. He has taken dentistry and raised it to an art form. This change has had a very happy outcome. Thank you!!

Here, you will get full explanations of treatment options so you can make an educated decision. Here, you will get expert treatment that lasts.

It costs $10K (!), and made no visible change -- which is what I was looking for. My back teeth are somewhat better aligned, but I never would have paid for that, since I had no functional issues. He never even told me that this appliance is used exclusively for people with sleep apnea and TMJ, neither of which I have. (His website at the time I sought treatment didn't indicate this either; it focused on the appliance's ability to grow bone.) I was trying to correct a slight underbite, and it did absolutely nothing. My smile and bite look just as before.

It didn't straighten my teeth, didn't expand my palate, and made no visual change of my appearance whatsoever. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind I was oversold on this item. Dr. Adams told me it would even take away back pain, would improve issues I had with crooked lower teeth, would move the jaws forward and even cause them to grow because of the device. None of that happened. I can tell absolutely no difference in my mouth or my face after taking this, and spending nearly $10,000 on it. I could have easily used my health insurance to get a sleep apnea device that would have done the exact same thing. And I'll add to this the fact that I followed the directions meticulously that I was given. I adjusted it without fail exactly as requested, and it expanded all the way out. Maybe the teeth moved in the gums, but the jaws did nothing. I cannot in good conscience any longer recommend this practice. Dr. Adams is a really nice dentist, and he spends a lot of time explaining things and talking to you. But the result was beyond disappointing, especially with the hefty price tag. I feel this DNA device is hyped and sold inaccurately with promises it cannot keep.

Dr. Sheik is professional, friendly, and courteous to make sure that you are doing okay during the appointment. His cleanings are thorough and gentle.

Fine. Somehow, the insurance company did not pay them directly (has never happened in 5 years Ive had this insurance) and so I ended up owing them $651. Due to the pandemic I ended up experiencing a financial hardship but I scrounged to pay them what I could which was $600 (the business manager who contacted me was super rude but whatever). Last month, without receiving any reminders about the remaining bill they sent the $51 to collections. Imagine that: After getting at least $4,000 from me, they send a $51 bill to collections during a pandemic when folks like me are still recovering. They are good in dental work but a little ruthless in business.

When I lived in Wheaton, which was a lot closer to downtown Silver Spring, I still always wrote/typed Wheaton, MD 20902. I had a dentist when I live in Wheaton that was less than a mile away, and she was good, and it's a hassle finding a new dentist. I moved to Russett in 2020, and I kept going all the way back to Wheaton for my dentist through 2023. My girlfriend recommended her dentist Colesville Dentistry, and she was right! I first arrived here in May 2024, then November 2024, & most recently May 2025. Wow, this dentist is top notch, blows the Wheaton dentist I had out of the water. The staff is friendly, efficiently gets you in. Dr. Chai, other dentists, & technicians have been friendly doing a great job with the cleanings as well as advise on better dental habits. Also, this is a state of the art dental office. When you are lying on the dental chair, there is a TV screen above you with high definition nature scenes which is peaceful when the dentist isn't exactly the most pleasant experience even with Colesville Dentistry being the best case scenario goes as far as the dentist goes. They have great technology with computer modeling of my teeth & more, which the prior dentist I had fell short. Although it's still not super close to my home, still easier than going to Wheaton and worth the drive. Overall, I highly recommend Colesville Dentistry.
