Dr. Larry Bowers, DDS

Do NOT make your appointment through Unilocal!!!The office does not recognize it and it is not notified of appointments made through this site.
That being said, the office is really nice and the people are really friendly. Be prepared to wait a month+ for an appointment.

Dr. Bowers is the best dentist I’ve ever had. I came to him for a second opinion after my previous dentist told me that I needed multiple root canals. Dr. Bowers went through my charts and did an exam and found nothing wrong other than a few old filings that needed to be repaired. He was very nice about explaining what needed to be done, why, my options, the cost and answered all my questions (which were a lot, given that I was a nervous wreck). I’ve been a patient for several years now and I have nothing but good things to say about his practice and recommend it highly!

I’ve been a customer of Larry’s nearly 30 years. I was terrified about doctors and took lousy care of my teeth when I was young. That caught up with me and I luckily found Larry.
Decades and lots of dental work later, Larry has has helped me get over my fear of doctors with incredibly great care.
Near Christmas several years ago, I was in New York and suddenly had a bad tooth ache. I called and the office was already going on holiday. Larry told me he would see me personally in the morning. I had decay under a crown and Larry took care of me personally. With no assistant because I needed it. Even though he was already on vacation.
If there were 10 stars available, I’d give them to him.

I have been going to Dr Bowers for almost 27 years for routine cleaning and checkups, and repairs as necessary. He and his staff are always courteous, caring, and take the time to listen. I have been treated well and my dental health is excellent thanks to them!

Dr. Bowers and his staff were a breath of fresh air after searching for a good dentist for over two years since my move from the Richmond Va area. Dr. Bowers is very thorough and explains things in a manner that you can understand and make sound decisions from. I’m dealing with TMJ and was very worried when I arrived at his office, I literally left smiling :) Not only did he relieve my anxiety but for the first time I have a much better understanding of what TMJ even is, what causes it, and options available for treating (if needed). He does not try to sell you unnecessary procedures. Overall I was very pleased with my visit, staff is very friendly as well. That said, my search for a dentist ends with Dr. Bowers, I will definitely be using this services in the future!

Dr. Bowers is excellent at explaining things in an easy to understand way, he’s approachable and spends a lot of time with you to appease your fears.
He’s also pretty incredible helping out during emergencies. He received my call on his mobile on a Sunday and had me come in to fix my dislodged crown. It would’ve been an incredibly stressful week if he hadn’t offered his help, and it’s a permanent and affordable fix too!
He’s earned my trust, and I’ll continue to go to him as long as I’m in DC.

Dr. Larry Bowers and his staff are the best. I emailed him a frantic note about the need to deal with a crown that had come off and his staff called first thing in the morning and had me in the office within a couple of hours. Dr. Bowers spent the time needed to fully explain the procedure as well as the full range of options for treatment — and his staff had the paperwork for insurance completed before I left. I would highly recommend Dr. Bowers.

I’ve been going to this dentist for perhaps 15 years. Because of my genetically terrible teeth, I’ve experienced many dentists in my lifetime — — and this man is the best in the business, bar none. He is the zenith. His staff is excellent, the place is spotless, the environment is calming. Outstanding.

If you need a good dentist in the Washington area, you can’t do better than Dr. Larry Bowers. Going to the dentist isn’t on anyone’s list of fun things to do, but Dr. Bowers and his whole staff are committed to making quality dental care as stress-​free and comfortable as possible.
I have been dealing with Dr. Bowers for over ten years now, and have had him do both my routine check-​ups, replace fillings, and some extensive bridge work that I had to have a few years back.
Before I’ve had any work done, Larry has been meticulous about going over what I need to have done, why it’s necessary, and the different options available to me. Handling the paper work, the scheduling, the financing, everything was easily handled by Larry’s office staff. They take a personal interest in your situation, so you really feel like you’re dealing with friends. It actually keeps me flossing because I don’t want to disappoint them!
And with everything Larry and his staff have helped me with, my welfare and comfort have always been their first interest. They always say «just let us know if there’s anything we can do to make you more comfortable.» It’s great, especially these days to find someone do dedicated to his patients and to giving his office a real neighborhood feel.

Professionalism in a warm setting by a talented doctor who cares. Staff just as caring.
