Richard C. Powell, DDS

Ever notice how a routine dental visit can feel less routine when the office is just off the main drag? Richard C. Powell, DDS sits in the Oakwood Business Center, where the hum of Columbia’s weekday traffic fades into a quieter stretch of Oakland Mills Road. The address—7060 Oakland Mills Rd # J—places it in a low-slung strip of professional suites that locals recognize as a reliable cluster of services; dentistry is one of them.

General check-ups, fillings, and cleanings are the bread and butter here, though they also handle crowns, bridges, and basic extractions without the runaround. Patients who prefer to plan ahead can reach the front desk at (410) 309-1233 to confirm availability or ask about specific treatments. The spot is easy to miss if you’re speeding past, so keeping the phone number handy can save a U-turn.

Columbia’s mix of residential calm and commercial convenience shows up in places like this—no frills, just a straightforward stop for dental care. For directions, pull up the map before you head out; the business center shares parking with a dry cleaner and a tax prep office, so spaces are usually open.
