Clarksburg Dental Center

What Clarksburg Dental Center does

Clarksburg Dental Center is a privately-owned, single-location family dental practice operating from 19785 Crystal Rock Drive, Suite 211, in Germantown, Maryland. The practice is owned and operated by two dentists, Dr. Chung Lin, DDS, and Dr. Edmund Liu, DDS, both University of Maryland School of Dentistry graduates (2002) with 24+ years of clinical experience each, supported by a 10-12 person staff. The practice serves patients from across the surrounding communities of Clarksburg, Gaithersburg, and Montgomery Village, with a stated service range spanning ages 2 to 102+.

The practice offers comprehensive dental services across three categories: general dentistry (preventive care, cleanings, X-rays, sealants, fluoride, extractions), restorative dentistry (implants, bridges, dentures, fillings, crowns), and cosmetic dentistry (Invisalign, same-day crowns, veneers, KöR Whitening), along with a specialty capability in LANAP laser gum therapy using the PerioLase MVP-7 system. Technology stack includes CAD/CAM for single-visit crown fabrication, digital impressions, digital X-rays, and intraoral imaging. The practice differentiates through multi-lingual service delivery in English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Mandarin, and Cantonese (Dr. Liu personally speaks Cantonese and Mandarin), community outreach via school dental education programs at five local schools, and a comfort-focused, judgment-free patient experience.

The business model is predominantly fee-for-service dental care, supplemented by an in-house subscription membership plan starting at $34/month for uninsured patients (2 cleanings per year, exams, x-rays, 5-15% service discounts) and third-party financing partnerships with Sunbit and Compassionate Finance. The practice distributes services directly to consumers through a single physical location, functioning as an unrestricted insurance provider that accepts all plans and submits claims on behalf of patients. There is no disclosed external investment, no funding history, and no parent company; ownership is consistent with a typical private dental practice model where practicing dentists own and operate the business.
