Dr. Lynn Andoseh holds a Doctorate in Dental Surgery and is one of the top dentists in the region. She is among only 6% of dentists in the country to have been awarded a fellowship of the academy of general dentistry. Since graduating with honors in 2008, Dr. Lynn has devoted her career to serving communities in Maryland and Washington DC, as a family and cosmetic dentist.
I am Dr. Lynn Mbandi, and I have practiced as a licensed family and cosmetic dentist for the past 13 years. I graduated from Howard University Dental School with honors in 2008 and completed my residency in 2009 at The University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas.
I am originally from Cameroon; However, Bowie is now home to myself, my husband, and two beautiful children. Growing up in Cameroon, dental care wasn't readily available to most people. As I witnessed the devastating effects of that, the seeds of my passion and career were planted.
Treating and preventing oral disease is what I was born to do. The fact that I get to do this in the community I call home (PG County and the surrounding communities in the Washington, DC metro area), is very rewarding to me. I look forward to seeing your beautiful smiles at Metro Dental soon.
I am Dr. Lauren Williams and I was born and raised in Louisiana. In pursuit of a career in dentistry, I earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Spelman College in Atlanta; a master's degree in medical sciences from Hampton University; a doctorate degree in dental medicine from Tufts University in Boston; and completed a residency in general dentistry at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge.
My education and passion for dentistry have afforded me the privilege to serve you as your dentist and I don't take that lightly. I love meeting new patients because I get to be part of your life's story. I get to help you conquer your fear of dentistry; I get to improve your smile just in time for your son's wedding.
Bad breath on occasion is benign and should not be cause for concern. Spicy foods or foods containing onions or garlic are most often the culprits, in which case, brushing should solve the problem. On the other hand, persistent bad breath that does not go away with brushing, flossing and using mouthwash twice a day, could be an early sign of gum disease. You are probably still wondering what all of this has to do with covid-19 and lung cancer. In order to understand the correlation, lets take a closer look at exactly what gum disease is.
Gum disease causes the destruction of bone and gum tissue that holds your teeth in place, eventually resulting in tooth loss. The most common symptoms of gum disease are chronic bad breath and bleeding during brushing.
If you miss your bi-annual cleaning, the calculus build-up extends beneath the gumline over time. The bacteria harbored by this calculus, releases toxins that not only cause chronic bad breath but also destroy the bone and gum tissue that hold your teeth in place. If this is left untreated, you will lose so much bone and gum tissue that your teeth become loose and eventually fall out or have to be extracted.

Deep cleaning and fixing my teeth was put off for over two years due to previous traumatizing experiences. Hesitatingly, I took an appointment and felt welcome at Metro Dental. Shown to a free self serve beverage stand upon arrival, I was later accompanied to a cubicle where I received first class care. The whole environment at Metro Dental is sparkling clean, calming, with very caring, courteous and highly professional staff. My Dentist was constantly communicating what she was doing and asking if I was feeling any pain. I experienced no pain and no anxieties. My apprehensions about sitting on a dentist's chair are now over, gone... as long as it is at Metro Dental.

I've always had to muster up some courage everytime I go to the dentist. I felt the same way the first time I went here even though I know them. But I immediately became comfortable as soon as I walked in. It just feels different than any other dental practice. More importantly the doctor was very patient and explained everything clearly. The experience has been great ever since. Even my wife who is worse than me goes here now. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

I have always been pertrified about getting any kind of dental work. But my experience at metro dental was completely different. They even give you cookies and a drink! The atmosphere was so clean, i did not feel like i was in a dentist's office. Staff were so pleasant and kind. Zero pain, can you believe it? Painless dentistry. I am so glad i went to Metro Dental. Thank you.

The BEST Dental Office ever hands down. The staff is customer oriented. The dental techs & dentist are very caring. They don't rush to get you in/out. Also they explain what they are about to do every step of the way. The dentist are very friendly, caring & personable. The dental office is clean & very well organized. I will NEVER go to another dentist office EVER. I've had great pain free visits every time I have come to this dental office. I recommend this dental office to everyone. If I had to rate them on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give them a 100. Dr. Williams is the BEST.

Due to a very painful experience at my previous dental office and a few before that I have been afraid to go to the dentist. It bring on a high level of stress. I decided after years to give Metro Dental a try, let's just say best decision I have made. The experience was outstanding and the service was exceptional

First visit today. I have high anxieties about dentist visits due to some horrible past dental care. The whole dental team treated me with great care and patience. They took special effort to help lower anxiety. Off to a great start! I'll keep you posted ;)

I have been extremely impressed and satisfied with the services at Metro Dental. From the friendly customer service, caring and concerned treatment by my dentist and her assistants to the Office Administration. I'm a new patient and have already referred someone to them, who has already made an appointment. If you have any anxiety or concerns about visiting a dentist, Metro Dental New Carrollton is your dentist for ever!

Okay so i received phenomenal service from the dentist but I Received my Explanation of Benefits and my payment responsibility was only $271.00 but Metro Dental charged me the DISALLOWED AMOUNT OF $451.00. Metro Dental is under contract with GEHA and they are not allowed to bill you more than the member responsibility. Make sure you tell them to do a PRE DETERMINATION CHECK SO YOU CAN GET AN ACCURATE QUOTE. The prices that they quote you at your consultation is the DISALLOWED AMOUNT NOT WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO PAY. Insurance Fraud is what I'm getting at so if you have gone here check your Explanation of Benefits and I guarantee you paid more than you were supposed to. I called to speak to them about this but first the point of contact was at lunch and now that person is unreachable and I have not received a return phone call! Contact your insurance provider and report their fraudulent actions!

Went to my first appointment because I was considering changing dentist and to get a deep cleaning. First of all, they take you in the back and start the service without telling you your copay or how much your service will be. Where they do that??? Get in the back and they take x-rays and the dentist comes in and explain what's needed. Okay....gets finished. I'm sitting there waiting and a gentleman comes in to get me and pulls me in a Office ( Here comes the scam) by the way...no one takes off the paper from under my neck (SMH) ANYWAY, he tells me that I have to pay about $700 for a deep cleaning. Never had to pay that before my insurance covers the full cost. So, I tell him I will think about it. Few weeks later I get a $200 and some change bill for x-rays ( never had to pay for before) and for and extensive exam! Am I missing something because all the dentist did was explain the x-rays and made suggestions. Okay, if you charge me for the x-rays okay but again insurance always covers that. But the extensive talk....I mean extensive exam. I guess somebody has to pay for the lattes and cookies. Oh, and when I first made my appointment I received a text asking to text my insurance information to them. Absolutely not! You call me on the phone or wait until I come in to verify that information. Again, where they do that. I should've known then...

This place is a scam!! I was originally going to get a surgery done. So they took out a loan in order to pay for the surgery. I eventually opted out for the surgery but they took money anyway and never returned it to the bank. The bank has been calling me wanting the money back that they never returned. Please do not go here.

New to this office and was taught a very expensive lesson. I am not used to dealing with dental/medical offices that do not run your insurance prior to your appointment. Imagine my surprise when I got a bill for $124 for a set of x-rays! I just found out that I am only covered for full-mouth x-rays every 3 years. Had I know that prior to the service, I would have declined. Not happy that this service was performed without checking my coverage and I am left holding the bag. I suggest anyone using this office to perform your own due diligence and check with your insurance company before allowing them to perform any services.

When I arrived for my fillings I was full of anxiety. Once the procedure was over I was quite relaxed and pleased. It's now 5:54 pm and no pain!! I recommend Metro Dental highly .

Super Unprofessional. First of all, they tried to scam me into telling me that I had numerous cavities. I went into another office and found that I didn't have any but 1. They wanted to scam me with more than $3000. When I asked for my record, they refused to send it. Worst office I have been to. Jessica is probably the worst receptionist because she doesn't fulfill patients needs such as sending a simple email.

This was my first time at Metro Dental and I have to say that it was great. The staff is very friendly. Gideon did my cleaning and it was the best I have had. Dr Williams was very detail oriented explaining further procedures. Highly recommended.
