Arlene A. Asante, DDS
First Class Smiles Bethesda
Dr. Arlene A. Asante leads First Class Smiles Bethesda on Wisconsin Avenue, a few blocks from the Bethesda Metro station. She earned her dental degree at Howard University College of Dentistry and has built the practice around cosmetic and smile-design work alongside routine family dentistry.
Why patients choose Dr. Asante
Her practice is organized around the part of cosmetic dentistry that patients most often say is missing elsewhere: planning. Cases start with a smile-design consultation — photographs, proportions, and a preview of the intended result — so patients see where treatment is heading before enamel is touched. Reviewers consistently describe an unhurried, explanatory style and a small-office feel in a location that is genuinely walkable from downtown Bethesda offices.
Practice focus
Cosmetic dentistry and smile design, porcelain veneers, professional whitening, cosmetic bonding, and general and preventive care.
