I found Dental Designs of Maryland (White Marsh Location) on Google and I am kicking myself that I haven't been here sooner! For context, I had a pretty gnarly dental experience that kept me away for two years (for shame, I know. Don't judge me), so I had a lot of trepidation going back after so long and after such a terrible experience. From the moment I walked through the door and was greeted by the biggest, brightest smiles, I knew I was in the right place. This office exudes warmth, inclusivity, and care. I was immediately taken into the back (I pre-filled my forms, so no wait time at all), given a tour of the office, and was informed every single step of the way to help me set expectations. Not only was Dr. Santos extremely knowledgable but her and her team were also kind and informative - I knew what was going to happen, what was happening, and what next steps would be each step of the way. I've already convinced my husband to make an appointment too! I have a long journey ahead (wisdom teeth removal, braces, and cleanings) and I couldn't feel more at home with this practice. I trust them completely to take great care of me on this journey to reinvent my smile! I'd give them 100 stars if I could!

I had my wisdom teeth extracted in September 2025. The procedure itself went very well -- Dr. Kim…read morewas excellent and had one of the best bedside manners I've experienced. I felt comfortable throughout the process and was really happy with the care I received. Before the procedure, I was quoted my copay and paid the full amount upfront, totaling $640. About a month later, I received a bill for $2,340 for the same procedure, and none of the payment I had already made was reflected. After calling the billing department, I found out the issue was caused by an insurance filing error on their end. They submitted the claim only to my secondary insurance instead of processing it through my primary insurance first and then the secondary, as they were supposed to. I had already provided all of my insurance information before the procedure, but I provided it again and was told the issue would be corrected. Unfortunately, it has now been 8 months since the procedure and this still has not been resolved. I checked with my primary insurance and found out Aspen Dental finally submitted the claim to them in March 2026 -- six months after my procedure. However, they still have not submitted the claim to my secondary insurance as of today. I genuinely cannot think of any reasonable explanation for why it would take this many months to properly submit an insurance claim, especially when all information was provided in advance and again afterward upon request. At this point, it honestly feels like an attempt to push responsibility for a bill onto me that should have been processed correctly through insurance many months ago and after I had already paid my quoted portion upfront. While I truly appreciated Dr. Kim and the clinical care I received, the billing and insurance handling experience has been incredibly frustrating, stressful, and disappointing.

I immediately called my regular dentist of over 45 years. Unfortunately for me he is in a new practice and they don't take our insurance. He did see me however & I paid cash so I knew what I needed done to fix the tooth. I came home and started calling the dentist he recommended to confirm they accept my insurance. None did. I finally found White marsh dental & Dr. Kelmenson. I arrived at the office early to fill out any additional paperwork and was promptly greeted & checked in. I quickly went back to get X-rays done and then into a chair. The dentist reviewed the X-rays and said it could be fixed with a new filling but it will likely need a root canal since it is broke just at the gum line. I explained to Dr Kelmenson I don't do well with needles especially coming towards my face/mouth. He said I could get nitrous oxide to help relax me. I just had to pay out of pocket for the nitrous. Ok, I was fine with that. He put the mask on me and take a few deep breath's and he was able to get the novocaine injection done and move right into fixing my tooth. He explained everything he was doing and respected me being a medical professional so he could explain things in medical terms and I understand. Excellent bedside manner. I am definitely going back for my 6 month cleaning and as tough as it is to find a good dentist.... I have found 2 Dr Kelmenson here and my previous dentist. Overall I would recommend this practice4/5 I'm only taking a star off because it's hard to get an appointment. I am used to having a few Saturday hours but this office doesn't.

Review for Nuvia Dental Implants**Located in Whitemarsh Maryland…read more In my recent experience with Nuvia Dental Implants, I ran into several issues that really impacted my impression of their service. Initially, there was a significant communication gap that led to my procedure date being canceled, and the financing company tried to charge me before any work was actually done. After I got my physical done, I reached out to Jack, the coordinator, to see if he could reschedule me. Unfortunately, he never responded at all, which I found to be very unprofessional. It felt like he just disappeared once there was a complication. To add to that, Jack had originally hyped up that he'd secure me a discount. But when I did my own research, it turned out that his "discount" wasn't much of a deal at all. Other providers were offering the same procedure for about $38,000, while he claimed their price was $50,000 and that he was giving me a "discount" at $39,000. Overall, while Nuvia may have solid technology, the lack of professionalism and transparency, especially from Jack, was a real downside in my experience.

Dr. Joseph worked an implant I'd been told had too little bone (he showed me exactly how much bone) and he saved me money referencing me back to my general dentist on another procedure rather than take the money and run.

While Dr. Joseph is clearly confident--with the skill to back it--he is also friendly, straightforward, and considerate of a patient's concerns.

I had a couple of teeth on both sides that had root canals and had been crowned almost 20-years…read moreago, that were failing and all four needed to be pulled. The choice was a bridge on both sides, which I wasn't crazy about on my rear molars, or to venture into world of implants. My dentist didn't offer them and recommended me to a specialist, Dr Mandel. Upon my first visit, Dr Mandel took x-rays, did an examination, and offered a game plan to attack it one side at a time. The one-side needed bone grafts, and he suggested tackling that first, and then onto the other side. However, this doubled the time frame before new crowns could be installed to six-months on that side. We discussed the process, and he thoroughly walked me through the entire procedure, answering my questions, and offering a consultative approach to making sure I was comfortable and had realistic expectations. While I was very nervous about what was involved and how long it would take, the decision was made to have it done right and to move forward with the procedure. Well, almost one year later and now having the new crowns installed, and I can say without a doubt it was a great decision. They look great, feel great, and certainly beat a bridge or dentures. While it was indeed a process, Dr Mandel was a total pro throughout the entire ordeal. He was extremely meticulous in every aspect of the journey, from the first examination, to being unbelievably good at everything around implants. In fact, it went so well, I decided to finally have a cosmetic dental makeover on my entire upper teeth. I ask Dr Mandel for a recommendation, and he sent me to another very professional and talented dentist. When all the 20-year crowns were removed on my top teeth, it became necessary to have two more teeth extracted, and once again it was determined by my dentist that two of my top teeth were gone and it was either a bridge or a couple more implants, so back to Dr Mandel. The difference is this time I had total confidence in Dr Mandel, and as before it went incredibly smooth. In a matter of a couple of hours, he performed two very difficult extractions, and like a mad scientist, placed the two implants. In the meantime, I have a temp on my entire upper teeth and will wait out the next 3-4 months before having the crowns installed so it's all done at the same time and I can get the best match. For anyone who may be scared or nervous about considering having implants vs dentures, bridges, or simply missing a tooth, it's not nearly as scary as it sounds. The key is to see a real pro like Dr Mandel. This dentist is incredible, and his mannerisms and skill make it clear he is truly a maestro at what he does. He instilled confidence every step of the way, performed extremely difficult procedures, and the outcome has become wonderful. In addition to these very important aspects, he was also one heck of a nice guy that literally couldn't have made it more pleasant through it all. I'm very appreciative that I found him to go through this process, and that it actually gave me the motivation and desire to tackle a full dental makeover. I can honestly say I don't think I would have jumped all in without Dr Mandel's encouragement, guidance, and reassurances along the way. If you find you need to have implants, be sure to check out the maestro, Dr Mandel.

I did not have a pleasant experience at all …read more I had an appointment at 5:30pm. I was not seen until around 6:10pm. No one checked in to tell me if anyone would be right with me or how long I would have to wait. I'm. It sure if they were short staffed, but I was not told that either. When my name was finally called, I went to the back and met Dr. Noorani. He did the consultation and explained he wanted to do an expander then braces. I declined the expander and told him I just wanted to do braces even if they were on a little longer. I asked the price and he said someone would come to explain the financial component. He also told me my insurance stopped at age 26. When I disagreed and stated they provide $2000 (because I checked my benefits BEFORE making a consultation appointment) he told me "they can call again but they already checked and it doesn't cover anything". He was very dismissive. A women came in with a folder and gave me a paper with Damon System listed as $6100 and my insurance as $0 contribution. When I asked for the TRADITIONAL braces she responded "he didn't offer that option so may you don't qualify based on your assessment". I did my research on the Damon System vs. Traditional braces AND I was referred by one of the clients who told me they will try to offer the Damon system because it's more expensive but she declined and they gave her Traditional braces for the bottom . Now she is trying to get some money back because she had the Damon system for the top and they ended up switching it mid treatment because the assessment wasn't accurate . I left, checked my dental benefits AGAIN, and called another orthodontist the next day. I am currently in traditional braces, at a lower price, with the $2000 that my insurance plan offered . If they took the time to listen and refrain from being dismissive they would have another client. Smh .
