Meet Dr. Smith
Alexandria VA & Waldorf MD

Dr. Karl Smith has been in dental practice for over twenty-seven years. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1981 and immediately entered General Practice in the US Air Force Dental Corps. He successfully completed three additional years of advanced training in the specialty of Periodontics, Dental Anesthesia and Implants in 1992 at the University of Texas Health Science Center, San Antonio and Wilford Hall USAF Medical Center.

Dr. Smith retired from the US Air Force as a Lieutenant Colonel after four years of reserve and fifteen years of meritorious world-wide active duty service in 1996. He worked in a variety of group practice locations throughout Southern Maryland and Northern Virginia before announcing the opening of his own periodontal office in the City of Alexandria, Virginia in January of 2002. After opening his Northern Virginia office, Dr. Karl Smith missed working with the patients and dentists in Southern Maryland and decided to open an office in Waldorf in the spring of 2005.

Dr. Smith's colleagues describe him as a gentle, easy-going person, and people come from near and far to experience the comfort and professionalism of his office and patient-oriented staff.
