Being a dentist is an important profession. It allows me to help people every day to achieve optimal oral health and relieve them from pain and worry. Everyone deserves to have a great smile and confidence, and my team and I can help them to achieve these goals.
For all my enjoyment of the clinical work and continual learning, what it really comes down to is my passion for working with many people on a daily basis. We meet so many incredible people every day and have the privilege to be a part of their lives and help them to maintain their health.
I have so many interactions on a weekly basis that stay with me, as people can be amazing if you just listen to them. We hear so many stories of the past and the present and what amazing achievements people have and strive to obtain.
In todays world, we all seem to be rushing to the next place, but if we could just take a moment to listen to each other, we can learn so much. We listen to hear what our patients wants and needs are, and we strive to reach these goals for them. Ultimately, we just want to make our patients smile!
I was inspired to join the dental field by my mother, who worked in a dental office as a dental assistant for most of my life. I enjoyed going to work with her and helping in the office with whatever small tasks they assigned to me. The atmosphere in the dental office was a warming and friendly feeling. Getting to know the patients and their families and watching them grow gave me a sense of a bigger community and family.
I attended the University of Maryland Baltimore County and graduated with a BS in biochemistry and molecular biology. I attended the University of Maryland Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. While in dental school, I was a member of Gamma Pi Delta Prosthodontic Honor Society. Members of this society must show proficiency and excellence in fabrication of crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Now, more than 20 years later, I participate in continuing education to stay current and to gain knowledge of new products and services available in the dental field. It is also important to review the tasks that are important for a dental practice such as infection control and keeping up with new medications and interactions between them. Learning is power, and we strive to continue to learn and improve our practice for the benefit of the practice and for our patients.
The boys are involved in many different sports, which take up a large part of my time away from the office. We also love camping and enjoy being out by the pool or on the boat in the summer. I also love to work on crafts, but spending quality time with my family and friends is the most important part of my life.
My boys are both involved in Boy Scouts and my husband and I both have volunteered in the Scouting organization for more than 15 years. Both of my boys are Eagle Scouts and involved in Order of the Arrow as well. Giving back is important for all of us, and Scouts is how we make our community grow and thrive for future generations.
We recognize that all our patients are unique and deserve to receive dental care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented dental team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding dental experience every time you visit our practice.
Ours is a family-friendly, people-centered practice that offers advanced dentistry in a safe, supportive, and caring atmosphere. We have been privileged to serve the Middle River area since 2005, and built lasting relationships with our patient family while helping each person achieve and maintain optimal oral health and a radiant smile!
Each of us believes in providing you with the dentistry you need and the services you want. Rather than a one-treatment-for-all approach, we take time to listen and learn what you expect from dental care, along with any concerns you might have. This ensures we are able to help you reach your oral health goals in the manner you desire.

Had to cancel my appointment on short notice and got smacked with a $40.00 cancellation fee. I complained that the good dr. had canceled many times on short notice and I never charged her a damn fee. Not happy with the way Wassif does business.

I had a tooth fracture and called the Wassif office the following day. They were able to fit me in and temporarily repair the tooth. Doctor Wassif then explained options to permanently repair tooth. My wife and I have been patients at the practice since it started and am extremely satisfied. We have and will continue to recommend Doctor Wassif!

Highly recommend. Dr. Wassif is the best dentist I've ever had. She and her staff are knowledgeable, skilled, and incredibly kind and caring. She doesn't push unnecessary things to make money like other places I've been in the past. She explains available treatment options clearly and openly. I don't dread the dentist anymore.

I don't recommend her by any means. My mother referred her to me and I went for a cleaning and a filling. Was told my insurance was covering the bill. No problem right? Wrong. I now have an almost $600 bill in collections because they sent me an invoice over a year later telling me my insurance that I don't even have anymore wasn't covering the bill. I have made numerous attempts to contact the office and no one can get back to me to get this handled even though I have been calling for months even before they sent it to collections to get the situation handled. And to top it all off the filling that's ruining my credit fell out and I had to have it replaced by a much nicer and professional dentist office. PSA do not even entertain this joke. You will be sorry.

I do not recommend their service. On Nov, my wife and I did regular dental checkup and cleaning. My wife needed deep clean that we came back again. We asked front desk about our insurance cover and was cover. Now after 2 months, I am getting fee statement to pay balance by the office. It is disaster. I never had experience.
