State Of The Art Dental Group

What State Of The Art Dental Group does

State of the Art Dental Group is a privately-held, single-location dental practice founded in 1988 in Rockville, Maryland, providing comprehensive general, restorative, cosmetic, and surgical dental care to individuals and families in the greater Rockville community. The practice is led by two principal dentists — Dr. Kavish Gurjar (implant and restorative dentistry, NYU-trained periodontal honors graduate and Fellow of the International Congress of Oral Implantologists) and Dr. Abtahi (general dentist, Platinum Invisalign provider and laser dentistry certified) — supported by a team of approximately 15 staff. Service offerings span dental implants (including full-mouth and full-arch cases), general dentistry, cosmetic dentistry (veneers, whitening, smile makeovers), orthodontics (Invisalign and traditional braces), periodontics, oral surgery (extractions, bone grafting), endodontics, pediatric dentistry, sedation dentistry (oral, nitrous oxide, IV sedation), sleep apnea treatment, and TMJ therapy.

The clinical technology stack includes digital X-rays, CBCT (cone beam computed tomography) 3D imaging, intraoral cameras, laser dentistry, CAD/CAM milling systems for same-day zirconia crowns, and IV sedation delivery — enabling most procedures to be completed in-house without specialist referrals. The practice operates on a primarily fee-for-service revenue model with three supplementary streams: (1) an in-house subscription membership program called the Smile Savings Plan priced at $399 per year per family member, (2) insurance collections as an in-network provider with UnitedHealthcare, Delta Dental, Humana, MetLife, and Cigna, and (3) CareCredit third-party patient financing for higher-value procedures. Patient acquisition is direct-to-consumer through the practice website, local SEO (500+ five-star Google reviews), social media (Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Yelp), patient video testimonials, and community partnerships such as a senior-living resident discount with Ingleside at King Farm.

The practice has operated continuously for over 37 years with no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, ownership changes, or expansion beyond its single Rockville office. It is a founder/physician-owned independent dental practice with no parent company, no external investors, and no publicly disclosed revenue.
