Djavan Wharton-Lake, DDS

Managing Endodontist of the Maryland/Virginia Region
Pacific Dental Services
Silver Spring, Maryland

Dr. Djavan Wharton-Lake was born and raised in the Washington D.C.
Metropolitan Area. He received his undergraduate degree in Biology
from the University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill in 2004. Shortly
thereafter, he began his pursuit of a career in Dentistry in 2010 when
he attended Howard University’s College of Dentistry. During his
clinical training, he was encouraged by the Department Chair of
Endodontics at Howard University to specialize in Endodontics.

Immediately after completion of dental school, he moved from
Washington D.C. to Los Angeles to attend the Harbor UCLA General
Practice Residency in 2014. During this residency, he was exposed
to more clinical experiences including treating medically compromised
patients, completing emergency rotations in trauma units of major
hospitals, and experiencing family practice dentistry. The exposure
to all aspects of the field of dentistry only furthered his interest
in specializing in Endodontics. Thereafter, Dr. Wharton-Lake attended
the University of Southern California’s Advanced Specialty Program in
Endodontics.

After completion of his Endodontic training, Dr. Wharton-Lake worked
in the Greater Los Angeles area for several years, and was an active
member of the American Dental Association (ADA), the California Dental
Association (CDA), the American Association of Endodontists (AAE), and
the Angel City Dental Society. He also maintained a
presence at the Harbor-UCLA GPR program where he returned as an
Adjunct Faculty member.

In 2021, Dr. Lake and his wife, Lauren, returned to Washington D.C. And in June 2023, they welcomed their newborn daughter, Enjolie Joan. Fondly known to his patients and staff as Dr. Lake, his goal is to provide his patients with a friendly, pleasant experience while
upholding the highest standard of patient care and autonomy.
