When you choose a dentist for your Invisalign treatment, you’re choosing a partner who will guide your smile transformation for the next year or more.
At TotallySmiles Dental Group, we believe that who you trust with your smile matters just as much as the technology used to straighten it. That’s why we’re proud to be a family-owned practice with two generations of expertise. Dr. Steven Anolik has been caring for Gaithersburg smiles since 1973, and his son, Dr. Corey Anolik, joined him in 2007. Together, this father-son team brings over 50 years of combined experience to every patient who walks through our doors.
But what does this mean for your Invisalign journey in Gaithersburg? Let’s explore why a family-owned practice with deep community roots can make all the difference.
The Power of Two Generations
Dr. Steven Anolik earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Temple University Dental School in 1972 and was inducted into the Stomatognathic Prosthetic Honor Society. He completed a one-year, hospital-based residency at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, and has been voted one of “America’s Top Dentists” for his decades of exceptional care.
Dr. Corey Anolik didn’t always know he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. It wasn’t until he took a job as a dental assistant during his sophomore year of college that he realized he loved everything about the dental field and the impact he could make on people’s lives.
He earned his dental degree from the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery in 2006, completed a hospital residency at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, and earned his Fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (FAGD) in 2013. He is also a Platinum Invisalign Provider and President of the Capitaligners, a local study club dedicated to mastering clear aligner therapy.
This means you’re getting the best of both worlds. Dr. Steven’s decades of experience in crafting beautiful, functional smiles and Dr. Corey’s cutting-edge expertise in the latest Invisalign techniques. This combination creates a level of comprehensive care that a solo practitioner simply can’t match.
What Patients Say About the Family Difference
The TotallySmiles experience is something our patients feel. Here’s what they have to say:
“I believe I have been going to Dr. Steven Anolik for over 20 years! That says a lot right there! My experience with him and his staff has always been pleasant and professional! He is always calm, patient and understanding when doing necessary procedures! And his work is excellent!”
“Drs. Steven & Corey have been my dentists for over 5 years. My dental health was not great when I started as their patient. I needed a lot of fillings and crowns. Not only were Dr. Steven and Dr. Corey able to stabilize my dental decline, but they developed a long term plan for improving my teeth. The past few visits have been X-rays and cleaning only. No new cavities!!! The Doctors and the team at TotallySmiles are the absolute best!!!”
“I have been going to this practice for the past 13 years, and I can’t imagine a more caring, thorough group of people! Exams are incredibly thorough, complete with recommendations on how to improve my dental care. I highly recommend them!”
These are families who have trusted TotallySmiles for decades because they know they’re treated like family, not like a number.
Why Corporate Dentistry Can’t Compete
In recent years, corporate dental chains have become increasingly common. They offer convenience and predictable pricing, but they come with significant drawbacks:
- High turnover: Corporate practices cycle through dentists, meaning you may never see the same provider twice.
- Pressure to produce: Corporate quotas can lead to overtreatment or rushed care.
- Lack of continuity: When every visit feels like starting over, your long-term dental health suffers.
At TotallySmiles, we take the opposite approach. Dr. Steven and Dr. Corey Anolik are invested in your smile and in the Gaithersburg community. They’re your neighbors too. That makes all the difference.
How the Family Approach Benefits Your Invisalign Treatment
When you choose a family-owned practice for your Invisalign treatment, you get benefits that corporate practices can’t match. Benefits such as:
- Continuity of Care: You’ll see the same doctors throughout your entire treatment, from your initial consultation through your final retainer check. Dr. Corey leads a local Invisalign study club. He brings deep expertise in the latest clear aligner techniques. Steven brings decades of experience in crafting beautiful smiles. Together, they evaluate your overall oral harmony to ensure a result that’s healthy, stable, and stunning.
- Long-Term Relationships: Both doctors have been caring for Gaithersburg families for decades. They’ve watched children grow up, and they’ve helped grandparents maintain their smiles into their golden years. This continuity of care means they understand your dental history, your concerns, and your goals. This leads to better outcomes, especially for complex treatments like Invisalign.
- No Pressure, Just Trust: Corporate practices often have quotas to meet. At TotallySmiles, Dr. Corey and Dr. Steven recommend only what you need. You’ll never feel rushed or pressured into unnecessary treatments.
- Personalized Attention: As a family-owned practice, we have the flexibility to spend time with each patient. We’ll listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and craft a treatment plan that’s tailored to your unique smile.
