Dr. David Peto

Dentists in Harford County tend to cluster near the corporate parks. Dr. David Peto sits in one of those low-rise office loops off Route 24, where the traffic lights blink yellow after seven. The practice handles routine cleanings, fillings, and crowns, plus the occasional root canal or extraction—nothing flashy, just the kind of work most people put off until the molar throbs at night.

Abingdon’s Box Hill Corporate Center isn’t exactly a landmark, but the address is easy to remember: 3435 Box Hill Corporate Center Dr Ste E. The lot is shared with a tax preparer and a physical therapy clinic, so parking rarely feels like a scavenger hunt. Most patients come from Bel Air or Edgewood, though the occasional Baltimore commuter stops by on the way home from the MARC station.

If you need to reach the office, dial (410) 569-6299. The line picks up quickly, and the staff can usually squeeze in an emergency appointment within a day or two. No one enjoys sitting in a dental chair, but the alternative—ignoring a cracked tooth until it splits—is worse. The practice also offers night guards and basic orthodontic referrals, though you won’t find Invisalign ads plastered across the walls.
