Hi, Im Michelle. Ive been a dental hygienist for over 30 years. I graduated from CCBC as a Registered Dental Hygienist in 1987 and ironically my first day of work was on April fools day. I love being a hygienist. I think I love it because I consider all of my patients to be family and I take pride in having a gentle yet thorough approach. I really do love caring for the Burtonsville community.
My husband Mike and I have been married for 33 years. We have 2 grown daughters, 2 grandsons, and a few years ago we rescued a Cane Corso named Lucy from the shelter. I spend most of my free time having fun with my grandkids and dog.
Hello, my name is Anh. I was born in Silver Spring, Maryland and have lived in Maryland all my life. I graduated from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County with a degree in Psychology and then graduated from Fortis College with a degree in Dental Hygiene. I even received additional certifications in local anesthesia and nitrous oxide so that I can give my patients the most comfortable experience possible. I really like taking the time to help my patients be comfortable and enjoy their cleanings.
Hi there, I'm Anahit. I graduated from Dental School before relocating to the United States. While my license didn't cross the ocean with me, my skills and knowledge for sure did. I've worked at Nicholas Dental Care, now Endres Dental Care for over 15 years. I truly love this profession. It is that passion for dentistry and education that lead me to become a director and instructor at the Dental Assistant School of Maryland.
When I'm not geeking out about dentistry or flowers, I like to travel and explore new places, new people and new restaurants. I may or may not be a bit of a foodie! My absolute favorite, above all, is hanging out with my husband and our Bengal kitten Flki!
My name is Daydette but you can call me Deedee. Im a mother to an energetic 11-year-old and I enjoy weekends with family outings or watching my daughter at all of her sporting events. I was born in Atlanta, GA, raised in London, England and currently live in Gaithersburg, MD so if you have a second to chat, Im full of random fun facts.
I think Ive always been a great fit for Endres Dental Care because I have a strong commitment to providing quality customer service. I have over nine years of dental office experience and I spend countless hours of my own time to receive continuing education certificates in Financial Effectiveness, Dental Coding, Treatment planning, and OSHA/HIPAA Compliance so I can help our patients navigate the confusing parts of dental treatment and insurance.
Hola, my name is Guadalupe, but you can call me Lupe. Five years ago, you would have found me making bartending and making your favorite cocktails. One day our practice manager, Anahit, came to the restaurant. She liked my margaritas and saw how hard I work so she encouraged me to come work in dentistry. I took a chance, enrolled in the Dental Assisting School of Maryland and I never looked back. Over the last 4 years, I've assisted our amazing doctors with many different dental procedures and while I love helping patients in all different ways, I have fallen in love with dental surgeries like dental implants. When I am not at the office, you can find me at a park playing with my 6-year-old daughter.
Hello, my name is Juan. Since 2017, I have been a part of the practice and I've enjoyed every moment. I was offered a position before I graduated my assisting program at the Dental Assistant School of Maryland. I most enjoy just having conversations with our patients and getting to know them. I like to treat everyone as if they are family.
Hi, my name is Jackie and Ive been a dental assistant for about two years. I got my certification from The Dental Assisting School of Maryland. At first, I wanted to go to nursing school, but Ive found that I really love my job in dentistry. I love meeting new people and helping fearful patients build confidence to overcome their dental anxiety.
Hi, my name is Elon. Ive known I love dentistry since middle school. I graduated from Fortis for dental assisting in 2016 but continued working in the food service industry for a few years before I decided to give dentistry a real shot. I started working here in 2019 and its been great. Shortly after starting my position, I signed up and graduated from the Dental Assistant School of Maryland.
What I love most about assisting is the ability to learn something new every day. During my free time, you can find me at the gym or hiking with my rescue dog, Titan, who is the worlds biggest cuddle bug.
Hi, Im Darlene! Dentistry has been a part of my life for over 20 years. Being around people and helping them to a better, healthier life has always been the most rewarding part of my job. The best thing I ever did was have a daughter, she is amazing and my best friend.
Our practice is a true family. I (Eric Endres) am a general dentist and I have the awesome privilege to work with my wife, Elise Endres, my father-in-law, Stephen Tigani, and my mentor Aaron Nicholas. Im proud to be a part of this family for many reasons but professionally we are unique because our family is probably the biggest family of dentists in DC and Montgomery County. My wifes grandfather, Pat Tigani, is a legend in Washington DC dentistry known for his incredible service to the community, to the Georgetown School of Dentistry, and for his incredible kindness and gentle touch. My father-in-law, Stephen Tigani has been a highly respected orthodontist throughout DC and Montgomery County for over 25 years, serving as past-President of the DC Dental Society and cultivating a habit of community service. Over 3 generations in the Tigani family, there are two orthodontists, four general dentists, a pediatric dentist, three oral surgeons, and when I married my wife I became the 11th dentist in the family! Dentistry and service are deeply rooted in who our family is and we truly are committed to continuing the family tradition of kindness and making our dental practice a place where patients feel like friends.
With our family tradition of dentistry, we were incredibly excited that our practice has a long 33-year tradition in the Burtonsville, MD community. Dr. Aaron Nicholas started the practice over 33 years ago and has remained a staple in the Burtonsville community ever since. For three decades, our practice has been known in Burtonsville and the surrounding counties as the best place for a convenient and comfortable dental experience. When it came time, Dr. Nicholas searched for 5-10 years to find the right doctor to succeed him in the practice, and it is a great honor that such a respected doctor has trusted me and my wife to carry the practice forward and to care for our wonderful patients. Our family focuses primarily on two pillars that support the entire practice: the highest quality of service and the highest quality dentistry. Everyone we bring onto our team is expected to have the same commitment to being a positive influence in the patients experience and in the lives of their teammates.
Dentistry is at the core of who our family is. We sincerely understand that the dental office is a source of stress and anxiety for many people but we feel lucky to be in a special position where we can use our familys history and experience to create an exceptionally comfortable and stress-free dental office that our community can trust. Our family has spent three generations learning and passing down the knowledge of how to care for people. We believe that every family needs doctors who are friendly, gentle, skilled, and who take the time to truly listen. We clearly value family, so from our family to yours, we promise to always stay committed to being the best dentists for your family and to giving you the most comfortable and friendly dental experience in Maryland.
Ive always gone here when Dr. Nicholas was there and the experience has been passed down everyone is so polite and amazing. It was my son's first time getting his teeth cleaned and they made sure to make him feel like the dentist was cool!! Thank you to everyone here for making my son's first experience a day he will never forget.
I highly recommend Dr. Endres for any dental care or advice. He is very competent but still humble and attentive. He does not rush to finish and move on but provides time for you to ask and discuss as needed. There is an emphasis on cleanliness that is self-evident.
I was greeted warmly when I entered the office. Pretty quickly I was escorted to an exam room. I am not comfortable at the dentist, but my exam & cleaning was quick & easy. Everyone was very nice & I felt at ease. Quite a positive experience.
Absolutely amazing! Going to the dentist for me is absolutely nerve wreaking. From the minute I stepped in the door, I was put at ease. Dr. Endres and his entire staff (especially Lupe) made my experience actually a pleasure! You cant say that about much nowadays, more specifically a dentist.
The staff is efficient and the facility is nicebut the huge win here is that everyone is KINDeven to someone who hadnt come since the pandemic started and who doesnt floss like she should! Mya, Michelle, and Dr. E. were all great. Michelle especially deserved hazard pay for cleaning my teeth gently but thoroughly. When I left both my teeth and I really felt better!
I first visited this office at the recommendation of my mom and great aunt who both needed major and extensive work done. They were seen by Dr. Nichols who was kind, patient and knowledgeable. For my work, I have been seen by Dr. Endres whom I plan to stay with until he retires because Ive never had a dentist as thorough and gentle. For a patient who pays out of pocket- I can confidently say you will not be disappointed. I wish I could give this office 10 stars!
We utilize leading-edge dental technology as part of our commitment to providing an exceptional level of dentistry. These tools allow us to detect issues earlier, diagnose, and treat more dental issues faster while keeping your comfort priority one at all times. You can trust youre getting only the latest dental technology and treatments when you visit our office.
This innovative handheld camera allows us to examine your mouth in greater detail. We use this diagnostic tool to zoom in closely on specific teeth, providing a high-quality image of your teeth. The images are displayed on a screen for you and our dentist to review, giving you a better understanding of your diagnosis and treatment.
Known as CBCT, this advanced imaging technique uses a cone-shaped X-ray beam. The cone beam rotates around your head to create a highly detailed 3D image of your mouth to help us accurately design your treatment plan.
Our office uses intraoral digital scanners to create a highly detailed 3D model of your teeth. The resulting 3D surface model is the virtual, time efficient, and safe alternative to traditional plaster models.

Hi! My name is Eric Endres. I grew up in Hunt Valley, MD, went to Maryland for both college and Dental School, and plan to be a Marylander for the rest of my life. My childhood was a balance between being a bookworm and playing soccer, basketball, or baseball every day with my brothers. Im the oldest of four with two brothers and a little sister, all of whom are happy I became a dentist because theyll never need dental insurance again. Nowadays I spend more time rooting for the Baltimore Ravens than playing sports myself but I cannot wait to have kids of my own so I can start coaching.
I am luckier than I ever imagined because I get to practice with my wife, Dr. Elise. She and I went to dental school together and she is undoubtedly the most caring person I have ever known. I also tell her that she is smarter than me and she says Im just being nice, but it must be true because she is pursuing a residency in orthodontics. Though we havent started our family yet, our two dogs are more than a handful. Tucker is a 5-year old Australian cattle dog and Lily is a 2-year old golden retriever. I doubt youll find two more energetic dogs. Whenever were not on dog walks, we love to escape to the mountains to ski or the beach to relax in the sun.

Hi, Im Aaron Nicholas, founder of Nicholas Dental Care (the previous name of Endres Dental Care) for 32+ years. Recently, Ive decided to step out of the owner role to pursue my interests in missionary dentistry and teaching advanced courses in clinical dentistry.
When Im not at the office, classroom or mission field I like to stay active by doing Cross Fit or going hiking. When Covid is over Ill be out again swing or salsa dancing with my wife at some of our favorite local spots. She has recently turned me into a foodie (although Im not too serious about that). We also have a new kitten, Flki, that we enjoy hanging out with.
Hello, Im Stephen Tigani. I have lived in Bethesda, MD for my entire life. Being a lifelong member of the Washington community I have been involved in everything you can imagine. I coached soccer and basketball for 20 years, I have attended Church of The Little Flower since I was a kid, and I served on a number of boards and councils.
I have been married to my beautiful bride for 27 years and we have four children whom we are incredibly proud of. My oldest daughter is Dr. Elise Tigani is also part of the practice and I am very excited to work alongside her. The other three children are all doing great things of their own as well. My son is currently in medical school at Georgetown University, my second daughter just graduated with her Masters degree in Engineering, and my youngest daughter is currently studying psychology at Loyola University Chicago.
I have always been committed to providing patients with the best possible orthodontic care in the Washington area. After 25 years in practice, I have found that orthodontics is truly both an art and a science. Many things have changed in that time but I am always excited to explore advances in technology and offer the newest treatments to our patients. Every child, teen, and adult is different and each one deserves the time and attention it takes to give them a healthy, happy smile that lasts a lifetime.
