South Capitol Smile Center, located at 1313 S Capitol St SW, Washington, DC 20003, is a prominent dental practice founded and led by Dr. Sheila Samaddar, DDS. As a third-generation doctor from a family of dentists, Dr. Samaddar developed her passion for dentistry at an early age, assisting in her mother's dental office from the age of seven. She opened the South Capitol Smile Center in 2008, driven by a philosophy of providing minimally invasive, comprehensive, and esthetic dentistry using advanced technology. Dr. Samaddar completed her undergraduate studies at DePauw University, her dental degree at Howard University College of Dentistry, and a residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery (1-year internship) at DC General Hospital.

She is an internationally recognized and published expert by Invisalign for top case results and is a Gold Plus Provider. Her cosmetic dentistry work is visible on Capitol Hill and beyond. Beyond her practice, Dr. Samaddar holds significant leadership roles, serving as the DC President and a National Spokesperson for the Academy of General Dentistry.
