Looking for a dentist in Pasadena, MD? Whether you want a Fort Smallwood Road office, a Mountain Road practice, or a team you can settle into for the long run, it helps to start with the names your neighbors already know.
Neighbors in the Best of Pasadena Facebook group selected Driscoll Family Dental, Pasadena Dental Care, and Lake Shore Family Dental as the 2026 top three for Best Dentist. Here is a closer look at each, including who leads the office, what they offer, and how to get in touch.
1st place: Driscoll Family Dental
Best for: General and cosmetic care on Fort Smallwood Road
Driscoll Family Dental sits at 8556 Fort Smallwood Road, Suite B, under a new name on a familiar office. Dr. Terrie Driscoll opened the practice in July 2024, after 15 years as an associate dentist in Pasadena, in the space formerly known as the office of Joel Sachs, DDS. The official site describes comprehensive general and cosmetic dentistry, including fillings, crowns, bridges, veneers, root canal therapy, TMJ care, Zoom whitening, and emergency visits. A Real Pasadena profile and the practice’s own pages emphasize a comfortable, personal style of care. New patients can request an appointment at driscollfamilydental.com.

2nd place: Pasadena Dental Care
Best for: Everyday dental care on Mountain Road
Pasadena Dental Care is at 4302 Mountain Road, Suite A, a neighborhood office on the same stretch of Mountain Road as many daily errands. The practice does not currently have a working official website. An older web address still turns up in some directories, but it no longer leads here, so it is not linked. Facebook is the most reliable public contact point for hours and appointment questions. Neighbors selected this office as a 2026 top-three dentist in Pasadena, MD, which is a good reason to start with the address below or the Facebook page if you already get your care on this side of town.

3rd place: Lake Shore Family Dental
Best for: Same-day crowns and a Mountain Road dental team
Lake Shore Family Dental is at 4195 Mountain Road, in the Lake Shore stretch of Pasadena. The practice website introduces Dr. Walter Hong, Dr. Mark Limsam, and Dr. Rachel Zachary, and lists cleanings, restorative work, implants, veneers, and same-day crowns among the services. The office emphasizes prevention, flexible scheduling, up-to-date technology, and a visit that feels unhurried. One reviewer on the practice site called a recent cleaning “the most thorough cleaning I’ve ever had,” and others mention a staff that greets people by name. New patients can start at smilepasadena.com.
