MOHIT K. Virmani, D.D.S.
Jennifer P. Virmani, D.D.S.

For Mohit and Jennifer Virmani, the most gratifying expression of a patient’s satisfaction is when they refer friends and family members to the practice. “It shows they want to share the experience they received,” says Mohit, who has been practicing dentistry with his wife in the Baltimore area for the past decade. The Virmanis’ practice, Naylors Court Dental Partners, emphasizes the philosophy that patients should be treated both comprehensively and compassionately. They conduct thorough evaluations of each patient before developing a tailored treatment plan, employing the latest technologies, including in-office teeth whitening, digital radiography, and laser cavity detection. “We understand that most patients don’t like going to the dentist,” says Jennifer. “By incorporating techniques such as intra-oral cameras and nitrous oxide, we can help them understand their needs and allow them to feel more relaxed.” Both Mohit and Jennifer graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. Jennifer then completed her general practice residency at the VA Medical Center in West Los Angeles. Mohit completed his residency with the U.S. Army at Ft. Lewis, Washington. When they are not practicing dentistry, the couple keeps busy with their twin 6-year-old daughters.

NAYLORS COURT DENTAL PARTNERS

MOHIT K. Virmani, D.D.S.
Jennifer P. Virmani, D.D.S.

For Mohit and Jennifer Virmani, the most gratifying expression of a patient’s satisfaction is when they refer friends and family members to the practice. “It shows they want to share the experience they received,” says Mohit, who has been practicing dentistry with his wife in the Baltimore area for the past decade. The Virmanis’ practice, Naylors Court Dental Partners, emphasizes the philosophy that patients should be treated both comprehensively and compassionately. They conduct thorough evaluations of each patient before developing a tailored treatment plan, employing the latest technologies, including in-office teeth whitening, digital radiography, and laser cavity detection. “We understand that most patients don’t like going to the dentist,” says Jennifer. “By incorporating techniques such as intra-oral cameras and nitrous oxide, we can help them understand their needs and allow them to feel more relaxed.” Both Mohit and Jennifer graduated from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. Jennifer then completed her general practice residency at the VA Medical Center in West Los Angeles. Mohit completed his residency with the U.S. Army at Ft. Lewis, Washington. When they are not practicing dentistry, the couple keeps busy with their twin 6-year-old daughters.
