Dr. Gregory Martin DDS, MS

The practice sits in Chevy Chase and combines general dentistry with facial aesthetics and body-focused treatments, all under one doctor. According to the practice, it serves Washington, DC and the surrounding area, and patients travel to it from near and far for its quality of care.

Dental, facial and body care share one medical philosophy, so a single doctor plans them together. Every new patient begins with a comprehensive evaluation: they complete an online form, and a team member then reaches out. Before the first visit, patients also fill out new patient, medical history and dental history forms. Appointments are unhurried, treatment plans are individualized, and aftercare and at-home skin maintenance are part of every plan.

Injectable work begins with a structural assessment of the face that considers muscle activity, bone support and soft tissue volume. Skin treatment starts with an evaluation of tone, texture, collagen integrity and how deep any damage goes. The practice does not practice dermatology or treat skin disease. When a concern calls for it, the team refers patients to board-certified dermatologists and other specialists.

Insurance is handled differently at this practice, which is out of network with insurance plans and does not take HMO, DMO or Medicare coverage. The practice says most preventive visits, including exams, X-rays and cleanings, are generally paid at close to 100 percent by insurance. Patients insured through Carefirst Blue Cross Blue Shield or Delta Dental pay the full fee at the appointment and then receive reimbursement straight from their carrier. Out-of-network PPO benefits are accepted from Aetna, Cigna, Delta Dental, MetLife and United Healthcare. Accepted payment methods are cash, check, Visa, MasterCard, Apple Pay and American Express.

Describes its model as all-in-one care under one doctor, with an education-first, whole-face outlook. Cosmetic dental work is guided by digital diagnostics and facial balance rather than by trends.
