Experience
Dr. Cecilia Gyllenhoff has practiced general, cosmetic and
restorative dentistry since 1988. In 1990, she began to develop
the relationship-based style of practice she uses today. She
works to establish a caring rapport from the start, getting
to know each patient’s individual needs and goals.
She characterizes her focus as “one patient at a time”
... health-oriented, ethical and caring over the long term.
She’s honored that her skill and commitment have been
recognized; she was named a “Top Dentist” of
by Washingtonian
magazine in 2003 and 2006!
In her early days of practice in Old Town Alexandria, she worked
with a team of specialists that helped her see the importance
of caring about a patient’s overall health needs and lifestyle.
She also learned to provide specialized care, treating people
with disabled mouths and significantly misaligned teeth. Two
of her areas of special expertise are full-mouth reconstruction
and treatment of TMJ.
Now that she and her family make their home in McLean, Dr.
Gyllenhoff focuses on providing excellent service in the heart
of that community... for patients in the immediate McLean/Tysons
Corner area and in adjoining communities such as Great Falls,
Bethesda, Falls Church, Vienna and Arlington.
She receives ongoing advanced training at the prestigious Pankey
Institute and through the Seattle Study Club, which
equip dentists and specialists for comprehensive treatment
that
unites
state-of-the-art
techniques
with an understanding
of the whole person. She also participates in ongoing education
to continually update her skills.
