Dr. Jones sees everyone from first time dental patients to senior citizens. One particular preferred patient is always welcome – the dental coward. “There are plenty of people who are terrified of the dentist.  It is very common, so we try our best to settle fears and relax patients in a comfortable environment, so we welcome those who have honest phobias.

He believes that making the dental experience as comfortable as possible is a key element in empowering each patient to take an active role in their oral health.

Dr. Jones is an active member of the American Dental Association and the DC Dental Society. He is also one of the founding members of the DC Spear Study Club and the Greater Washington Academy of Dental Studies. 

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. As a general & cosmetic dentist, Dr. Jones has the skills needed to complete an array of procedures that are simple or complex in nature.
