WHO WE ARE

We are a single doctor owned dental practice who loves our Maryland metropolitan community in all its diversity. We have served the region for over 15 years and have developed meaningful relationships and friendships with many of our patients all along the way.

We value and respect all who walk through our doors, from young to elderly, from short to tall, from the talkative to the taciturn and everywhere in between. Montgomery County, MD is blessed with a strong sense of community spirit and we are proud to contribute to it, and to always embrace a spirit of inclusivity, kindness and service for every culture and person.

Our office is a comfortable and modern facility that uses the latest technology and techniques to make your dental experience as positive as possible. Good technology doesn't replace great people though; that's why the secret ingredient in our office will always be the people we work with. We want to make sure you are treated with a joyful spirit, a kind manner, and the knowledge that we care about every patient.

Thank you for being YOU! We look forward to seeing you soon.

  • 5 star review  I was looking for a new dentist and Dr. Ponraj and his team at Bel Pre Family Dental have been amazing. From the moment I enter their office, they provide an inviting experience that put me at ease immediately every visit. I went because I had some tooth pain and needed the relief ASAP. Dr. Ponraj tended to the matter with no issues (Side note: I have needle phobia and I didn’t feel a thing….I’m serious...this is not an exaggeration). I’m also self conscious about my smile and Dr. Ponraj was highly professional and compassionate while explaining the potential treatment plan for my smile. My original intent was to deal with pain, but Bel Pre Family dental has become my new home for dental services.
