DentalFilter! My bridge fell out while I was eating a donut this morning. Help me find a good periodontist or dentist in the WDC/MD area!

I have a Marylin Bridge at the front of my mouth of a special kind, instead of glueing the wings to the back of the adjoining teeth, a dentist drilled little holes in the backs of the teeth that keep the bridge in place. So I am looking for a dentist in the DC/MD area (I am in Takoma Park) who can do a quick turnaround a make a mould, place the tooth, and let me pay and go and who takes Blue Cross/Blue Shield. Thanks for any recommendations!!!!

Dr. Mallek on Wisconsin Avenue or Dr. Edds, who's downtown. Dr. Mallek is tha' bomb, according to my s.o. who hatehatehates go to the dentist/periodontist. He has a bridge now and had work done by both. Try Mallek first.

Dr. David McGibbons in McLean VA was my dentist for 25 years and does very good work even though he makes odd smalltalk. I never had any bridgework or the like, so can't speak to that.

My wife and I live in Silver Spring and drive about 30 minutes North of DC on 29 into Columbia to see Dr. Mazer at Dental One Associates.

Mrs. Cheese is something of a periodontal wreck, and has had a bunch of periodontists. She refuses to see anyone else now.
