“Everyone here is so wonderful! Drs. Brown & Pollowitz, Angie, Sylvia, Pamela — they are all polite, caring, accommodating, and cheerful. Their expertise is second-to-none and they make the experience of going to the dentist completely stress-free—something to look forward to, even! I cannot recommend them highly enough!”

About
Washington Center for Cosmetic & Family Dentistry
Thank you for visiting our website which provides important information that will help you become familiar with our practice. It also contains answers to frequently asked questions. Please feel free to call us anytime at
(202) 363-2500. We appreciate this opportunity to introduce ourselves and look forward to providing you with exceptional dental care.
We want you to know that in our office, you can expect to be treated with respect at all times. We strive to deliver the best diagnosis and treatment that dentistry has to offer. We believe that these goals can be met through a continuous and open dialogue between you and our entire team.
We encourage you to involve yourself in your own treatment and ask questions throughout our relationship. In our opinion, an informed and involved patient is most likely to achieve the highest level of healthcare. We look forward to working with you to achieve this goal.
Infection Control
Infection controls and universal precautions protect patients and staff alike. Everyone benefits from rigorous infection control — you, your dentist, and the dental team. The cornerstone of a good and safe dental practice is the element of trust. You should feel free to discuss this topic with either of the doctors.
Drs. Pollowitz & Brown and our entire team follow procedures recommended by several federal agencies: the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).
These measures include:
- Disinfectant hand soap
- Gloves and face masks
- Chemical disinfection of countertops and surfaces
- Sterilization of all equipment before every use
- Disposable materials
We sterilize all reusable equipment, including dental handpieces. We use an autoclave, a device that kills bacteria and viruses by steam, heat and pressure.
The best defense against disease is information. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make wise decisions about your healthcare. The more you know about our daily procedures and policies, the more comfortable you will feel.
