Your Friendly Neighborhood Dentist in Foggy Bottom and West End, DC

What a wonderful experience! Welcoming from even before you set foot in. You’re greeted with queer visibility all around. A tv to Watch music videos while you get care. (The DJ is great 🎧) The doctor was incredibly through, gentle and educational! I give this business a 5-rainbow rating!

Dr. Rob, Tyler, Diamond, and their entire team create such a warm and welcoming environment at Big Gay Smiles. I had great, compassionate, and comprehensive care and am so inspired that they give a portion of earnings to HIV/AIDS research and have a new initiative for Native American Tribal Health. I am so happy I found them and please consider making a visit and having them becoming your first choice for dental care.

Dr. Rob and ALL of his staff are absolutely incredible. I languished with upper wisdom teeth for almost a decade because of previous bad experiences with dentists, prohibitive costs, and genuinely thought I would live the rest of my life with bad teeth until Dr. Rob was recommended to me. The (painless) procedure took maybe 30 minutes, and the aftercare was discussed in depth. Truthfully, I was so overcome by emotion that I had finally felt good about my teeth that I just sat in the chair crying for a minute after. The confidence, gratitude, and relief I felt instantly is indescribable. I could seriously never thank you enough for what you’ve done for me physically and emotionally. I will be back again and again!

All the dental anxiety I’ve had for years was erased after the first phone call. I was impressed that I was actually speaking to a person, Tyler, when I called for directions, not a machine. He came down to the parking area to meet me and explained how long they’ve been practicing dentistry there and answered any questions I had. But when I got in the office? I was  amazed. The decor was awesome, the space was immaculate and had a great variety of songs playing. Dr. Rob introduced himself, asked how he could help me, took X-rays then explained all that he saw. We worked together for a treatment plan and I left the office with a good feeling about my dental issues being resolved and a groovy bag. The best dental experience I’ve ever had from start to finish.

BEST DENTIST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE. Like many people I absolutely dread going to the dentist, but I’m genuinely looking forward to my cavity filling because Rob and Tyler are so kind and the office is so fun! It was incredible to have a dental environment that not only accepted, but actively celebrated, LGBTQ+ identity! I felt SO safe. Unlike other dentists, Rob explained everything really clearly and patiently and was so gentle and lovely to chat with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! :)

Big Gay Smiles came highly recommended and I can fully understand why. Dr. Rob and Tyler were very professional and took great care with my teeth— especially with some sensitive gum areas. Their prices are fair and scheduling has been easy. All and all, I am impressed with their care and I’ll continue to go back to see them.

Rob and his husband Tyler were very responsive, professional, and kind. They are a fee for service dentist office and although we both have dental insurance they provided us with a queer friendly dentist in D.C. that is covered by our provider. If you are looking for a LGBTQIA+ dentist I definitely recommend you check out to see if BGS fits your needs. Thank you Tyler for your responsiveness and kindness!!
