District Dental Solutions

What District Dental Solutions does

District Dental Solutions is a privately held, family-owned dental practice headquartered at 1900 M St NW, Suite 525, in Washington, DC, serving patients across the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia. The practice is led by a father-son clinical team — Dr. John Arroyo Jr., DDS (40+ years serving the DC area) and Dr. Jeremi Arroyo, DDS (implant and advanced restorative focus) — both graduates of the Dawson Academy. Operationally it is a single-location consumer services business with 11–50 employees and no disclosed outside investors or parent entity.

The practice delivers a full continuum of dental services across three pillars: general dentistry (exams, cleanings, fillings, root canals, extractions, sleep apnea), cosmetic dentistry (Invisalign at Diamond+ provider tier, porcelain veneers, teeth whitening), and restorative dentistry (implants, crowns, bridges, dentures, periodontal therapy, TMJ treatment). Clinical operations are supported by a modern digital technology stack including CBCT 3D imaging, iTero digital impressions, CEREC CAD/CAM, Glidewell same-day crown fabrication, digital X-rays, and intraoral cameras, which enables same-day restorations and in-house lab work. Patients access the practice through direct-to-consumer channels: online booking via the Modento platform, Google Business Profile, Yelp, Facebook, Instagram, word-of-mouth referrals, and phone scheduling.

Revenue is generated on a fee-for-service basis for professional dental services, supplemented by patient-financing partnerships with CareCredit (interest-free financing) and LendingPoint (consumer lending), which expand affordability for higher-ticket procedures such as implants, full-mouth restoration, and Invisalign. The practice files dental insurance claims as a courtesy. Pricing is per-procedure (e.g., Invisalign promotional pricing at $3,696 versus a standard $7,000) with payment methods including cash, check, and major credit cards. The business model is fundamentally a local professional services franchise with no recurring subscription revenue, no multi-site footprint, and no external capital structure.
