Stephen J. Friedman D.D.S. P.A.

Silver Spring’s Lamberton Drive area isn’t exactly crowded with dental offices, but Stephen J. Friedman D.D.S. P.A. holds its own with a perfect score. Google shows 5.0 stars from 5 reviews—small sample size, sure, but no complaints so far. It’s one of those low-key spots where routine cleanings and fillings happen without the usual clinic fanfare. The kind of place you’d book for a checkup and maybe walk out with a plan for something more involved, like crowns or bridges, if needed.

Dentists in this part of Maryland tend to blend into the background unless they’re part of a big chain or tucked inside a shopping plaza. This one’s neither—just a standalone practice at 1370 Lamberton Dr #18, close enough to the Beltway that you could squeeze in an appointment between errands. No frills, no gimmicks. If you’re due for X-rays or need a second opinion on that persistent toothache, it’s an option without the drive into D.C.

The thing about dental work is that most people don’t think about it until they have to. So when the time comes, places like this exist for the basics: exams, cleanings, maybe a wisdom tooth extraction if you’ve been putting it off. No specialty ads, no promises of spa-like experiences—just the standard stuff, handled. And if you’re the type who dreads the dentist, a 5-star average (however small) might ease the anxiety a little.
