About Dr. Richard Durando
I am dedicated to providing high-quality dental care and airway treatment. I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Georgetown University School of Dentistry, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to deliver comprehensive and compassionate care to my patients.
I process all insurance claims for my patients. I am not signed up
with any of the Insurance Companies. So I do not wave the
Co -pay. That means the patient pays the remainder of what
the insurance does not Pay. Financing is offered.

I have been a patient of Dr. Durando for over 30 years and I am always appreciative of his first-class service, care and upto date knowledge regarding all things dental.

First, dentistry is both a science and an art. Dr. Durando has both skills. About 20 years ago, a couple of my molars developed cracks. He expertly crowned the teeth. To this day, I have not had problems with the crowns or the teeth.
Second, a few years back, he suggested that I have a veneer put on my two front teeth. The teeth were becoming thinner and a little ragged on the front edge. The artistry in applying the veneer (strengthened the teeth) made them look amazing. I am enjoying a lovely smile.
Finally, he advises his patients with thoughtful suggestions. When I was a teacher, the district included dental insurance in its benefit package. Upon retirement, Dr. Durando advised me to set up a savings account as a self-funded dental plan. As a retiree, a self-funded dental plan is more economical than buying dental insurance.

I appreciate Dr Durando's direct and thorough manner in all aspects of oral care. Whether visiting for prevention or therapy, Dr Durando describes procedures in clear language. Seeking to connect the big picture to the smallest facets of treatment, his suggestions are always accompanied by explanations that empower the patient to make informed decisions about dental health. I feel that Dr Durando is truly on my team.
