Pike District Smiles | Dr. Samia Nikkhah

Just off Rockville Pike, a short drive from the White Flint Metro station, dental care gets straightforward at Pike District Smiles. The practice sits at 11400 Rockville Pike #106, tucked into North Bethesda’s mix of professional offices and mid-rise residences. This isn’t the kind of place that leans on flashy signage or curb appeal—it’s a dentist’s office, plain and simple, catering to the kind of routine needs that keep teeth in working order.

General dentistry here covers the expected: cleanings that scrape away the usual buildup, fillings for cavities that didn’t wait for a more convenient time, and crowns when a tooth’s had one too many close calls. X-rays get taken, gum health gets checked, and the occasional emergency—chipped tooth, lost filling—finds a slot in the schedule. Nothing about the services suggests specialization beyond the fundamentals, which for many is exactly the point.

Booking an appointment means a call to (301) 979-9071, where the front desk handles the logistics without fanfare. There’s no online portal mentioned, no app to download—just a phone number and the assumption that patients know how to use it. Questions about insurance, payment methods, or whether they take new patients get answered the same way, over the line, with whatever efficiency the person on the other end can muster.

The Pike District name ties the practice to its slice of Montgomery County, where the Pike’s traffic hums outside and the Metro’s red line runs parallel. For anyone mapping the route, the directions pinpoint the suite number—no guesswork required once you’re in the building.
