Dr. Lara Philippi, DMD

Another option on the west side of Sykesville is Dr. Lara Philippi, DMD. Routine cleanings, fillings, crowns, and emergency care are handled at 2030 Liberty Rd #1, a low-rise strip that blends into the rolling hills around Eldersburg. The practice keeps the same tools most dentists do—digital X-rays, same-day restorations, and basic oral surgery—without the hype of a specialty clinic. A call to (410) 781-7188 will slot you in for everything from a quick check-up to a cracked molar.

Dental visits in this corner of Carroll County often feel more neighborly than clinical. Dr. Philippi’s office sits just off Route 32, where the pavement gives way to horse farms and old stone walls. If you’re mapping the route, pull up the directions here and plan for the ten-minute drive from downtown Sykesville.
