About Our Family Dental Practice

Palacios Chen Family Dentistry

We are a family general dentistry practice run by a husband-and-wife team. We are supported by our fantastic patient coordinator, hygienist, and dental assistant. In the summer of 2022, we acquired the long-standing reputable practice of husband and wife team Dr. Henry and Debby King.

It is a privilege to continue their legacy of compassion, kindness, and long-lasting patient relationships. We strive to treat all our patients to the highest standard, and we are currently accepting new patients. Our practice is in a home located at the end of a cul-de-sac in the Indian Spring neighborhood of Silver Spring, Maryland, right off of Colesville Road/29-S. Dr. Elizabeth Chen currently works at our practice Mondays and Wednesdays, and Dr. Jerry Palacios works Tuesday and Thursdays. Please feel welcome to give us a call and we will be happy to answer any further questions you may have about the office.

High Standards and Quality time

We love going to work each day because our practice allows us to spend the time necessary to form a relationship with our patients and to deliver the high standard of personalized dental services that our patients deserve. We believe this is the key to a comfortable experience as well as the long term success of treatment. We are a dental practice with a priority in maintaining dental health and prevention of possible dental concerns. When desired or necessary, we are passionate about restoring and enhancing the natural beauty of your smile using conservative, state-of-the-art procedures that will result in beautiful, long lasting smiles!

Education & Prevention

As a practice, we are true believers that preventative care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. We strive to provide “dental health care” vs. “disease care”. That’s why we focus on thorough exams – checking the overall health of your teeth and gums, performing oral cancer exams, and taking x-rays when necessary. We also know that routine cleanings, flossing, sealants, and fluoride are all helpful in preventing dental disease. Not only are we focused on the beauty of your smile, we’re also concerned about your health. A review of your medical history can help us stay informed of your overall health, any new medications, and any illnesses that may impact your dental health.

Uncompromising Safety

Infection control in our office is also very important to us. To protect our patients and ourselves, we strictly maintain sterilization and cross contamination processes using standards recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Center for Disease Control (CDC).

A Positive Experience

Building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference in providing a relaxing and positive experience. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

We thank you for allowing us to take care of your dental needs and look forward to serving you.
