If something about your dental care doesn't feel right — ongoing pain after a procedure, a filling or crown that failed sooner than it should have, or a treatment plan that feels bigger than it needs to be — you deserve a clear, honest answer. Dr. April Linder and the team at Bethesda Row Dental offer second opinion visits, with no pressure and no obligation to become a patient.
You'll leave with a straight answer about what's actually going on with your teeth — and what your real options are.
New to the practice? We're also happy to give you a complimentary tour of our office before your visit — so you can see our space, meet the team, and feel completely comfortable before any appointment begins.
Call (301) 841-6292 to schedule your second opinion or office tour.
We start by listening. Tell us what's been going on, what treatment you've already had or been told you need, and what's worrying you.
Dr. Linder will examine the area in question and review any X-rays or records you're able to bring, so her assessment reflects the full picture.
You'll hear exactly what she sees — whether that confirms the original recommendation, offers a different path, or simply gives you peace of mind.
Prefer to see the office first? We're glad to walk you through our space and introduce you to the team — no appointment necessary.
There's no expectation that you'll switch dentists or start treatment with us. Some patients simply want confirmation before moving forward elsewhere, and that's perfectly fine.
Dr. Linder is a graduate of the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, where she went on to complete a fellowship in Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, and Hospital General Dentistry. She maintains active membership in the American Dental Association, the Maryland State Dental Association, and the Greater Washington Academy of Women Dentists.
Dr. Linder built Bethesda Row Dental around what she calls Connected Dentistry — focusing on one patient at a time, listening carefully to individual concerns, and guiding each person toward decisions they actually understand, rather than rushing to the next chair. That same philosophy is exactly what a second opinion visit is built on.
Bethesda Row Dental has built a strong 5-star reputation among Bethesda patients. Reviewers consistently describe Dr. Linder as thorough, soft-spoken, and unusually good at explaining exactly what she's doing and why before she does it — even when the answer isn't the one they expected to hear.

Absolutely. If you'd rather get a feel for the space and meet the team before committing to anything, just let us know you'd like a complimentary tour when you call.
If you have recent X-rays, treatment notes, or a written treatment plan from another office, bring them along. If not, we can still take a look and, if needed, take new images in-office.
Only if you'd like us to. This visit is about giving you information — what you do with it, including whether to share it with your current dentist, is entirely up to you.
Let our team know when you call. We prioritize patients who are dealing with active pain or swelling and will get you in as quickly as we can.
