Pikesville Family Dentistry

What Pikesville Family Dentistry does

Pikesville Family Dentistry is a privately held, single-location family dental practice operating from 1864 Reisterstown Rd #C in Pikesville, Maryland. The practice is led by Dr. Garrett Tom, DDS, a University of Maryland Dental School graduate, and traces its operating history to 1982, having previously operated under the name Bruce S. Barr, DMD. It serves individual patients and families across all age groups in the Pikesville catchment, with a full-service clinical offering that spans preventive care (cleanings, oral exams, oral cancer screening), restorative procedures (fillings, crowns, bridges, root canals, extractions, dental implants, dentures, periodontal treatment), cosmetic services (teeth whitening, veneers), pediatric dentistry, and emergency treatment.

The practice runs on standard dental clinical technology — digital radiography, dental imaging, and conventional dental equipment — with no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML components. Patient-facing technology is limited to the Modento online appointment booking system and the practice's content website and educational blog, which together function as marketing and scheduling tools rather than differentiated product surface.

The business model is fee-for-service dental care billed to patients and PPO insurance plans. The practice accepts most major PPO insurance plans and offers payment via major credit cards, cash, and personal checks; pricing is not publicly disclosed. GTM is sales-led via scheduled appointments booked online or by phone, supported by content marketing (blog, service pages, smile gallery) and a single physical point of care. With 5 employees, no disclosed funding, and no parent or institutional ownership, the business is a small, independent professional services practice.
