Ready to Transform Your Dental Care in Pikesville?

We Do It Better, Faster, and Easier

We Work With Most Major Plans

Our team is experienced at helping patients maximize their insurance benefits. We’ll verify coverage before any treatment, so there are no surprises. We have a desire to help you get the dentistry you need as easily as possible. We will submit all insurance claims for you. We are preferred providers for Delta Dental, CareFirst, Guardian, and MetLife.

Most Insured Patients Pay Little or Nothing Out-of-Pocket for Preventive Visits.

HOW MUCH DOES A DENTAL CHECKUP REALLY COST?

Dental checkups are often covered by insurance, and if you’re uninsured, we have low monthly payment options so you never have to delay essential care. Investing in your oral health today helps prevent painful, costly problems tomorrow.

A second-generation dentist, Dr. Friedman has been creating confident smiles since 1996, continuing the legacy started by his father, Dr. Harry Friedman, who led Woodholme Smile Care for 45 years.

A graduate of Tulane University and the University of Maryland Dental School, Dr. Brett blends advanced clinical skill with a genuine commitment to patient comfort. He believes nothing should stand in the way of a healthier, more confident smile.

Outside the office, he enjoys skiing, squash, and playing drums in local jam bands with his wife, Jacki, and their two sons cheering him on.

Don’t worry — you are absolutely not alone, and you will never be judged at Woodholme Smile Care. We see patients every week who haven’t been to the dentist for five, ten, or even twenty years. Our team will build a gentle, step-by-step treatment plan so you can regain your confidence and enjoy a healthy, pain-free smile again without any shame.

What Happens If I Haven’t Seen a Dentist in Years?

SATISFACTION GUARANTEED

We’ve Got You Covered

Our mission is to help you regain your confidence, protect your health, and keep your smile for life. We proudly accept most major dental insurance plans and will guide you through every step — from verifying coverage to filing claims — so you can focus on feeling better, not figuring out paperwork.

How Often Should I Visit the Dentist?

Most people should plan to see their dentist every six months for a comprehensive exam and professional cleaning. These routine visits aren’t just for polishing your teeth — they help us spot tiny problems before they turn into painful or expensive ones, protecting your smile for the long haul. Regular checkups can catch things like gum disease, cavities, or even early warning signs of oral cancer, saving you thousands in future treatment. If you have unique health concerns or a history of dental issues, we might recommend a more customized schedule to keep your teeth and gums as healthy as possible. These preventive appointments are one of the smartest, most affordable ways to protect your health, your confidence, and your budget over the long term.

Absolutely — we love welcoming patients of every age, from toddlers with their very first tooth to busy parents and even grandparents. Our gentle, friendly team has the experience to help children feel calm, secure, and excited about caring for their teeth so they build lifelong healthy habits. We also know how to work with teens and adults to handle sports mouthguards, orthodontic concerns, and complex treatment plans. Families appreciate being able to bring everyone to one trusted dental home, simplifying scheduling and billing. From baby teeth to wisdom teeth and beyond, we’re proud to be a true family dentistry provider for Pikesville and surrounding neighborhoods, treating every person like family.

Do You See Kids and Families?

Can You Help in an Emergency?

Absolutely — dental emergencies are stressful, painful, and always seem to happen at the worst possible time. Whether you break a tooth, lose a filling, suffer from sudden swelling, or experience a toothache that just won’t quit, we’re ready to help. Our team reserves same-day slots whenever possible to handle urgent problems quickly, so you don’t have to wait days in agony. Fast care can often save your tooth, stop an infection from spreading, and prevent much higher costs later. We encourage you to call right away if something feels wrong, and we’ll walk you through exactly what to do next, giving you peace of mind and immediate relief.
