About

New Columbia Dentistry is a dental practice in Washington, DC, with an aesthetics service offered under the name New Columbia Dentistry and Beauty Lab. The practice describes itself as a contemporary office designed to work with the budgets and oral health needs of as many patients as possible. It aims for visits that feel comfortable rather than clinical, with personal, customized care and family dental care at the center. Treatment rooms have TVs with Netflix access and headphones, which also help block out the sound of dental equipment, and the lobby has a wine bar patients can use before or after appointments.

The office occupies the ground floor of the ULINE building just blocks from the Capitol, with a private entrance on 3rd Street NE. The NoMa-Gallaudet U metro station on the RED line is about a block away. Street parking is available on 3rd and L Streets, and the ULINE arena garage is reached by driving up Congress Street NE. The office is open Monday to Friday, 7 AM to 7 PM, and closed on weekends. New patients should arrive 15 minutes early, since late arrivals get no grace period. Forms can be completed through MyChart, and new patients bring their insurance card and government-issued identification. The first visit covers a meet and greet, a comprehensive exam, radiographs, a cleaning and a presentation of the treatment plan. The office does not accept radiographs from other offices, so new X-rays may carry an out-of-pocket fee if insurance does not cover them. Appointments are reserved for one patient each and are not double booked, and patients get a reminder 24 to 48 hours ahead to confirm. Family block appointments let household members book routine visits together, same-day treatment is offered after diagnosis when possible, and urgent problems such as a broken tooth or severe toothache can be handled by calling the office.

Preventive care includes routine cleanings and exams, fluoride treatments, sealants, halitosis treatment, oral cancer screenings, athletic mouthguards, nightguards, sleep apnea appliances and TMD/TMJ therapy. Restorative care covers tooth-colored fillings, crowns and bridges, root canal therapy, extractions, wisdom teeth removal, dental implants with bone grafting as an option to restore some lost jawbone, full and partial dentures, laser gum treatment and oral surgery. Cosmetic options include professional teeth whitening and traditional veneers. Invisalign clear aligner therapy is offered as an alternative to metal braces, and the practice says it can help correct overbite. Aligners are worn at least 20 to 22 hours a day and each one is used for two weeks before moving to the next. Many treatment plans finish in about 12 to 18 months.

The aesthetics side begins with a non-invasive Alma IQ skin scan that assesses texture, tone and elasticity, and the scan can be repeated before and after treatments to track changes. Alma Harmony treats fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scars, spider veins, sunspots, and uneven tone and texture, and it also offers laser hair removal on the face and neck. Most Alma Harmony visits take about 20 to 30 minutes, and results are typically visible after 2 to 6 sessions, with the number discussed at consultation. Alma Opus combines radiofrequency energy with fractional resurfacing to work at different skin depths, and it is used for skin resurfacing, skin tightening, acne scars and stretch marks. Sessions usually last 30 to 60 minutes and generally do not need anesthesia, though a topical numbing cream is available on request. Most people have a series of 3 to 5 sessions spaced several weeks apart. The practice describes Alma Opus as customizable and suitable for all skin types, and says Alma Harmony is designed for all skin types, including darker skin tones.

Patients without dental insurance can join the in-house dental savers plan for $600 a year, which gives 20% off treatments except implants and orthodontics, with no deductibles, late fees or co-payments. According to the practice, the plan includes more than $1,346 worth of dental treatments. Annual membership plans are also available: Child Complete at $300 per year for ages 13 and under, Adult Complete at $600 per year for ages 14 and older, and Perio at $880 per year for ages 14 and older. The office accepts cash, debit cards and credit cards including American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa, as well as a variety of dental insurance plans, Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Savings Accounts. For insured patients, the office files the claim and the patient pays only the deductible or co-payment when care is provided, but patients should review their plan restrictions before treatment because they are responsible for the full balance. Third-party financing is available through CareCredit, with payment plans from six months to two years, and LendingPoint, including financing that spreads the upfront cost of Invisalign into monthly payments. Insured patients may have an out-of-pocket expense for fluoride.

The practice aims for relaxed visits and personal, customized care, and it pairs evidence-based dentistry with options designed to fit different budgets.

Designed to feel relaxed rather than clinical, with a lobby wine bar and treatment rooms that have TVs and headphones.
