Dr. Ali Behnia

Specialized dental care doesn’t always require a trip into the city. Over in Rockville’s Key West Shopping Center, endodontic treatment is available at Dr. Ali Behnia, where root canals and related procedures take center stage. The practice sits at 9707 Key W Ave #130, tucked into a professional suite that shares the area with medical offices and a handful of retail spots. Endodontists focus on the inner workings of teeth—nerves, pulp, the kind of things that make people wince just thinking about them—but having one nearby means fewer referrals and less travel when issues arise.

Most general dentists will refer patients out for complex root canal therapy, and that’s where a dedicated endodontist steps in. Procedures here cover the full scope: initial consultations, retreatment of past work, and even surgical options like apicoectomies when standard approaches aren’t enough. Cracked teeth, traumatic injuries, or persistent infections often land in these chairs—not because they’re worse than a cavity, but because they demand precision tools and a narrower expertise. Questions about whether a tooth can be saved or if extraction is the only path? That’s the kind of discussion this practice handles daily.

Scheduling or pre-op instructions can be clarified directly at (301) 340-9494, though most patients arrive through a dentist’s referral. The office is just off Montrose Road, where traffic hums but parking remains predictable. For first-time visitors, the map places it between a bank and a physical therapy clinic, making it easy to spot from the main drive.
