About

Dr. Bana Ball is a board certified pediatric dentist. She completed her residency in pediatric dentistry at the University of Maryland and served as Chief Resident in her final year. After attending Centre College on a full academic scholarship and graduating summa cum laude, she received her dental degree with honors from the University of Pennsylvania in 2010, graduating at the top of her class. She worked as a general dentist for a few years after dental school, and it was during this time that she realized her passion for working with children. As part of Dr. Ball's residency training, she co-wrote the Guidelines on Restorative Dentistry for the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, based on an extensive evidence-based review of the dental literature. Dr. Ball's expertise in dental materials translates into the highest quality and most appropriate care for her patients. Dr. Ball was in private practice in Baltimore, until she and her family relocated to Rockville in 2018. Dr. Ball is on the medical staff at Sinai Hospital of Baltimore and is able to provide dental care to children who require general anesthesia due to young age, severe anxiety, extensive treatment needs, or other special health care considerations. Shady Grove Pediatric Dentistry is Dr. Ball's vision for what pediatric dental care should be: a place where children, parents, and healthcare practitioners collaborate for the best outcome in oral health, and where oral health is treated as a component of a child's overall health and well-being. In her free time, Dr. Ball loves spending time with her husband Mark, a urologic oncologist at the NIH, and their two young children, Nikou and Nila. Dr. Ball is a comedy enthusiast, a crossword and jigsaw puzzle fan, an adventure traveler, a nature lover, and an aspiring yogi.

We were afraid to take our twins to their first appointment but it went beautifully. Everyone in the staff was so kind and warm with the kids they felt very much at ease. The team knows what they are doing and take their time explains things. We didn’t feel rushed at any point.

Dr. Ball and her team are just phenomenal. She treats every kiddo with kindness and respect. She walks my kiddos through each step of the progress which is so empowering for them. She also takes the time to listen to all my concerns and responds empathetically and without judgment. I am so happy I found this practice.

We came to Dr. Ball's practice after an unfortunate experience elsewhere. As a parent who is anxious about the dentist herself, with a shy kid that will shut down with discomfort, I greatly appreciate the very positive experience we had. From the very helpful and friendly office staff, to the inviting kid friendly environment, I am happy we found Dr. Ball. She also recommended a less invasive, but equally effective treatment plan for my kid's needs; this put me at immense ease.

My daughter goes to see Dr.Ball every 6 months for her teeth cleaning. Everyone from the front staff to the doctor herself and her amazing assistant are more than welcoming and very sweet. They always find a way to comfort my daughter in her visits. You can see the professionalism from the time you call for an appointment. I highly recommend this amazing pediatric dentistry for our little ones.

I brought my 4 year old to Shady Grove Pediatrics Dentistry for her fist dental appointment. I was nervous on how this visit was going to go but it went way better then expected. When we came in the receptionist was very welcoming and my daughter was instantly comfortable. When we went to the back Dr Ball and her assistant were so nice and my child let them clean her teeth and floss. She left her appointment very excited about her teeth and is actually excited to brush and floss all the time. She's ready for her next appointment. I was very pleased with the whole visit from start to finish.

Dr. Ball found her calling in pediatric dentistry. She's talented, knowledgeable, and personable. I am so glad we found her for our kids' dentist.

I loved this office from the moment I booked my appointment. The waiting room is peaceful, yet is full of life and playful, youthful measures like the baby height busy board built into the exam room wall as well as the secure shelvings and parent seating with cubbies for developmentally appropriate toys. The dentist who designed the office was a thoughtful parent who didn't just splash bright colors on the wall and throw in some random plastic toys. Everything about this office was executed with much thought and consideration. The soothing, calming, color scheme, the peaceable staff and environment went above and beyond in creating a safe space for children. From the moment we arrived in this place of business thoughtfulness was echoed throughout the office and with the staff.

Finding a minimally invasive dentist near Scranton,PA was impossible. After seeing 5 different dentists who relied on old techniques and invasive procedures we stumbled upon Shady Grove. After a virtual consultation with Dr.Ball we knew her practice was everything we were in search of. The four hour drive and out of pocket costs (which were surprisingly affordable) are totally worth it. We are so satisfied we are making the drive again next month. Dr. Ball took the time to explain every detail, options, xrays, etc without rushing. All the ladies in the office had the utmost patience with my son (and other kids). I can't say enough about how great our experiences with Shady Grove have been.

Very pleased with the facility, the staff, and the care. Made my unpredictable and sometimes rambunctious 3 year old son feel at total ease. Look forward to bringing him back for his next month cleaning appointment.
