Dr. Hong is not just a great dentist, he's a great guy who cares about his patients. I like catching up with him when I see him. He takes good care of you on the chair, makes sure you are comfortable, and EXPLAINS everything (as much or as little as you want to know- I like knowing!) I've had many regular cleanings and more involved procedures and never felt pain- at most pressure or discomfort. The practice- waiting room is small but I've never been there for more than a few minutes. The place is clean, has a cool vibe, and when I tell you those chairs are comfortable...they must be real leather and you can definitely tell. What I love- Dr. Hong has his own cartoon art up on the wall. He is quite talented! Didn't take any pics, but I will next time! read more

My mom and I have been seeing Dr. Hong more than 10 years. He is amazing and very honest. Most of general dentists learn specialized skill sets in a short time and perform all by themselves. Many times, that causes more issues. However, Dr. Hong is very honest in what he does and he refers patients to specialists when special skills are needed. Also, he is ALWAYS on time and does not delay the appointments. Most importantly, my mom and I, we are 100% satisfied with his treatments and trusts his treatment plans and his service. Although we live far away from his office, we've never thought about finding a new dentist as it is hard to find a trustful dentist! I would give 100 starts or more if I can. read more

I am grateful I was refereed to Boone Dental. Dr. Hong is outstanding and very knowledgeable. He takes his time and answers all of your questions. Dr. Hong cares very much about his patients' well-being. He is absolutely the best dentist I have ever met! His staff is exceptional and comforting. I would highly recommend this office to all your friends and family. read more

When all my friends and coworkers tell me how they are unhappy with their dentists, I give them Boone Dental's phone #. Dr. Hong is EXCELLENT. Super smart, honest and never a salesman. He cares about you and makes usre you're happy. He's a perfectionist! Wish all dentists were like him! read more

So.. I am probably what you would consider a nightmare patient. Over the last 4-5 years Ive been coming to Dr. Hong for all of my dental issues including 5 root canals, some of which were so bad he had to rebuild the tooth because.. well there wasnt really anything left. Thankfully, he was extremely thorough each time, meticulously explaining my options for each case and giving me proper warning if there were any potential risks or things I might face should I choose one way or another. I recently had an emergency that occured while I had a gap in my insurance and he gave me a very generous rate for the work needed. Unfortunately, I live in LA now and will have to start the search for a great dentist all over again. Oh and his staff, especially his Office Manager, were always very helpful and friendly. read more

I've been going to Dr. Hong since I moved to DC area a few years ago. I followed him to his new practice and brought along my parents as well. And now, I still drive back to VA to see him for my dental appointments. He's very patient, detail-oriented, knowledgeable and just a genuinely good person! He has an excellent memory and is the best dentist that I've ever had. He has a nice clean, modern office (with some of his own cartoons hanging in the reception). Gentle, skilled dental hygienists and a helpful, efficient receptionist. read more

Just to update...I recommended a co-worker check out Boone Dental. A couple weeks later I received a hand written thank you card from the doctor with a $10 Starbucks card....Thats how your WOW your patients. Totally impressed by the level of service. read more

Dr Richard Hong is my family dentist and we fully trust him. Graduated from Harvard, and he is humble, trustworthy, and patient. He will suggest treatments that he would do for himself and his own family. He is also very accommodating with his schedules and will fit you in earlier if you can be flexible with your schedule when he calls you back as spots open up. His receptionist is also super reliable and responsive. DR Hong is the only dentist but It's a whole package of awesome service. read more

Boone Dental - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Vienna, Virginia

I just moved to the area and was looking for a dentist. I am lucky to have found Dr Hong. Dr Hong is an amazing, detailed, friendly and respectful dentist. Him and his staff have been amazing with fitting me in and working with me on an insurance claim that I needed his help on. I was running out of time and the office was able to fit me in, do an amazing work, and to process everything on time. His bedside manner is great. He is patient and explains everything in great detail. He explains it in a way where a patient will understand it. He is conservative in his approach and I appreciate that. So many of my previous dentists are not conservative and will aggressively do a treatment and that's how I ended up with all these appliances in my mouth. I appreciate his honesty and his conservative approach to a treatment plan. The office is clean and inviting. His staff is always kind and most importantly, Dr Hong is amazing. I have no reservations about referring Dr Hong and his team to anyone. read more

My wife and I are patients of Dr. Hong and we highly recommend him and his team. From the moment you go in to the moment you leave, the service and care you receive is top notch. The office to small and cozy. On the walls are personal drawings of Dr. Hong, which add a homey feeling to the office. The receptionist is also very friendly and apt at meeting the needs of the patients. Dr. Hong is very good at what he does. He has excellent bedside manners. I always feel that he cares about me and how I am doing throughout my whole visit. I recently went in to have my cavities checked out and get fillings. He did a great job. The numbing shots were pretty much painless and so was the rest of the process. Another thing that stood out was that he had a basket full of toys for the younger children. This is huge especially if you are doing a procedure that might take a while. It gives the kids something to do and makes the whole experience a little more pleasant for all parties involved. read more

Dr. Hong is simply wonderful. After a problamtic crown that was done by another dentist, I decided it was time for a new dentist. After reviewing Yelp, I made my appointment with Boone Dental. Dr. Hong is simply wonderful!! He helped me with my crown, which ultimately needed to be replaced. Due to the young age of the problem crown there was a possibly that my insurance would not cover it. Dr. Hong did an amazing and successful job pleading my case to my insurance company. Beyond his exceptional ability as a dentist, he has the best bedside manner of any dentist I have ever met. Dr. Hong does an incredible job of putting his patients at ease. On one trip, a couple came rushing in with a toddler in distress. Dr. Hong didn't miss a beat. He did his best to calm the child and examine his injury. He also did a wonderful job with the parents. While I primarily see adults at his office, he could easily switch gears and attend to children. Northern Virginia can be a chaotic place. Many of the dentists I have met in my 15 years in the area have pushed their patents off to an assistant with a brief chat at the end of the visit. Not Dr. Hong, he truly cares about his patients. As a side note, his receptionists is lovely. Bonne Dental is a win, win if you are in need of a dentist for routine cleanings or other procedures such as crowns. read more

I have seen Dr. Hong twice now and both times were pleasant visits. I found a groupon for a dental check up and cleaning and saw that Boone Dental had great reviews, so I decided to give this clinic a try. The dental assistant and receptionist is very nice. She acknowledges you as soon as you come in and gets you in the chair as soon as possible. They have great customer service. I recently came to the clinic a second time because Dr. Hong unfortunately saw I needed to have my fillings redone and I had some cavities. He was very good with communicating to me about what I needed done and why. He walked me through pictures and xrays and allowed me to really understand what was going on, taking his time. He constantly asked me if I was doing okay and was concerned if I were in any pain or if I needed a break. I feel very comfortable going to this clinic and would utilize Dr. Hong as my primary dentist. read more

There isn't much that I can add that hasn't already been said. Dr. Hong is a fantastic dentist. He's incredibly accommodating and has squeezed us in at the last minute and even outside of office hours on more than one occasion. My kids love him. I love him. My husband hates going to the dentist and even he looks forward to his dental visits now (as much as one can look forward to a dental appt ;-) He is just one of those people that everyone likes- warm, friendly, patient, consistent, both personally and professionally. The front desk staff has changed a bit during our 3 years here, but the quality of service has never declined- always positive. Appointment scheduling, check in, payment- easy and efficient. It is a rare moment when I have nothing critical to say, but this is it. You can't go wrong with Boone Dental! I wish I could find a primary care doctor as wonderful as our dentist... read more

Dr. Hong is meticulous about the health and appearance of my teeth and gums. He's also warm and caring, which helps when he's doing cleanings. I had an implant put in by him and it looks perfect. No one can tell which tooth including my family. It looks almost exactly the same as the original tooth, which is what I wanted. read more

I just moved to the area, and was due for a 6 month checkup and cleaning. I've been going to the same dentist since I first had teeth, so I was a little nervous about trying someone new. I checked yelp to see if there were any well-reviewed dentists in my area, and came across Dr. Hong. I did an online appointment request, and received a response within a few hours. They saw me same day, which was super awesome. When I got there, they took me almost right away - my appointment was at 5:15 and they actually led me back at 5:15. How awesome is that?? The dental hygienist was a bit hard to understand, but she did an excellent job, was kind and courteous, and managed not to hurt me at all. My mouth was so clean! Five stars for her! Dr. Hong did a thorough check of my teeth and explained everything he was doing as he was doing it. He didn't rush or shame me for questionable oral hygiene, but made sure I understood what was going on with my oral care and how to improve. Best dentist ever! read more

Tremendously good practice. Not only were they able to fit me in - last minute - but the service I received was tremendous. Dr. Hong and his well-trained staff were thorough and kind. The cleaning was excellent and they don't require a full-set of x-rays or pano at your first appointment. Which is a big benefit for those who want to limit their exposure. Plus, they are in-network for Met Life PPO. I will be sending my wife as we can put an end to our search for a good DC dentist. read more

Clean, comfy office; pleasant staff; about as good as a dental office can be. I am definitely inclined to ask many questions and be overly concerned, and Dr. Hong is always more than happy to walk me through everything so I understand. read more

Went to Dr. Hong for the first time this past week as a new patient- and he was incredible! His dental hygenist Marzia was super thorough and careful, and made sure to explain every step of the teeth cleaning process to me as well as check up on me to make sure I wasnt in pain or anything. Dr. Hong himself was super friendly and thorough as well. He walked me through his assessment of my teeth and xrays, identified issues and potential future issues with my teeth, and presented a recommendation for future treatment that he carefully explained. I've had awful dentists before who never cared about me and would rush me through my appointment- not Dr. Hong! He's great! And BTW- fun fact, those comics he hangs up in his waiting area are drawn by him! read more

I am so delighted to have found Dr. Hong and his team! Not only is his practice state of the art, friendly with a warming feel to it, he is just the best. For starters, Dr Hong's bedside manner is amazing. He made sure I knew exactly what to expect and anytime he sensed just a tiny bit of anxiety, he would reassure me and make sure I was okay before proceeding. He takes meticulous care and is incredibly knowledgeable. He has called a few times to check up after a major root canal treatment, after I had a crown set and after I went home in pain for another treatment - just to check in whether I was okay. The xrays are done so efficiently and quickly and all the support staff are friendly and very helpful. Every time I go here I feel like a VIP. Who would've thought visiting the dentist could be such an enjoyable experience?! Thank you Dr. Hong! read more

Rating: 4.5 (yes, I'm special like that) After I got into a tiff with my last dentist, I was nervous about finding another dentist that I could trust. Thanks to Yelpers, I found Boone Dental and its sterling rating, so I thought I'd give it a try. The appointment process was easy and the location unbeatable. My wife and I went together for a cleaning. Dr. Hong met with us, explained what he was going to do. He was very nice and professional, walking us through everything he did. He was gentle and it didn't hurt at all. I've already scheduled my next cleaning appointment and hope to form a long lasting relationship with this practice. The "negs": This office seems like it just opened, so there are exposed wires at some locations that takes away from the professionalism you expect. It is also kind of weird that the dental assistant is also the secretary. Lastly, a lot of dental offices today are high tech, with TVs on the ceilings, etc. Although it's not the end all be all, it would've been nice to watch some TV while getting my teeth cleaned. But like I said above, none of the negs would prevent me from going back. I first go there for Dr. Hong so it's not like the other stuff matters much. read more

Let me preface this review by stating that there is nothing that fills me with more dread and anxiety than having to visit the dentist. But I do love the Boone Dental family! My husband and I have floated between several dentists but have never found one that we liked. They were either too rough (especially when flossing!) or we left the office without that, wow, my mouth feels so awesome feeling. We decided to go to Dr. Hong by a friend because he was referred to us by a friend. Boy am I glad we did! The office is clean and simple. All the scary dental tools are hidden so that helps with the anxiety of walking through the office! The staff is so friendly. Dr. Hong and his staff are extremely accommodating. Dr. Hong is great at explaining things and making you feel at ease. The office also has really great hours. I have had 3 separate appointments in the past 3 months and have never had to take off work to go to them! If you're looking for a really great dental office, look no further than Boone dental (seriously)! read more

Dr. Hong and all his staff from the receptionist to hygienists are amazing - professional, courteous, patient, eager to explain everything you want and need to know about your dental health. You always receive not just top notch care but a tailored to your condition advice to help you maintain healthy teeth and reduce your dental care costs. And when the need for external referral arise Dr Hong is doing his best not only to find you a best professional but to save you money as well. All in all highly recommended! read more

Dr Hong and his staff are one of the best Ive ever been to or heard about. They are professional and provide excellent care first and foremost, which is really the most important thing Im looking for in a dentist. On top of that Dr. Hong and his staff are really friendly and personable. They give you as much information as you need and/or ask for and ultimately made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole process. When Im back in the DC area (currently living in Ecuador) will go back to them for sure! read more

Dr. Hong is a fantastic dentist and person. He's professional, kind, precise, gentle, and honest. I've had multiple procedures done in his care and would recommend his office to any of my friends or family. It doesn't hurt that he graduated with an Ivy league education either. Moi, his assistant, is also top notch. read more

This guy is seriously THE BEST. Super calm, professional, and absolutely knows what he's doing. I don't have insurance so everything is out of pocket for me but he is worth the investment. I made the mistake of going to another dentist after moving away from Fairfax. read more

Dr. Hong is a great dentist. He really takes the time to explain to you what's going on with your dental health. I agree with the review above, Sam M., that his office is really clean and does seem to have the latest technology. He's also super friendly and makes a visit to the dentist better than it usually would be! I have been recommending hiim to my friends and family and now yelp! read more

Who can say they love their DENTIST? I am a confessed sugar junky & caffeine addict who flosses intermittently, but Dr. Hong never shames me and is very patient and thorough when providing dental care. Like the other Yelpers have mentioned, Dr. Hong goes above and beyond to educate his patients and explain procedures. His office is modern and equipped with the latest technology without being cold and sterile. He and his staff work very hard to exceed patient's expectations of a dental experience. My husband and I highly recommend Dr. Hong. read more

I used the Groupon the first time for a cleaning (before I had dental insurance) and it was a very good value for the service Dr. Hong performed. The equipment looks state of the art from what I can tell and I returned for a filling once I obtained dental insurance. Cleaning my filling and getting a composite was fairly quick, much faster than I expected and there was no discomfort. Very hygienic practices being implemented and I looked into the process beforehand. Dr. Hong gave good information without sounding like it was a grave concern and is able to give on the spot root cause analysis of certain dental conditions. read more

The best dentist I've ever been to,the staff is great and they do a great job!!! They Dont lie to you or try to up your bill I actually had to ask them to do extra stuff for my personal satisfaction. read more

Dr. Hong is an amazing dentist. I recently switched to him after my wife used him with a Groupon and spoke very highly of him. Dr. Hong and his staff are very friendly and helpful. They are patient and make sure to spend time with you discussing all options. Many other dental offices rush you out and only give you the most expensive option. Dr. Hong is honest and makes one feel very comfortable. Their prices are also good for the area. They even work extra hours on certain days, which is great when I can't get out of work. I would highly recommend him to anyone in search of a dentist. read more

My wife and I could not be more pleased with Dr. Hong. We agree with all the nice comments of the other reviewers. We switched to Dr. Hong when our implant specialist suggested him as an alternative to other dentists that were charging almost twice as much for dental implant crowns. We saved thousands of dollars for excellent work. We now use him for all our dental work. His bedside manner is perfect, his explanations clear and his office is warm and friendly. He makes an dental visit a pleasant experience. We are now moving to Florida but plan to use him as much as possible on our return visits. read more

Dr. Hong was amazing! Such a friendly face, especially in such a potentially nerve-racking appointment. His bedside manner is wonderful and he is extremely trustworthy. I went in with horrible pain in my lower left side of my jaw - surprise, surprise - it was due to an impacted wisdom tooth. Dr. Hong was quick to assess, with his super helpful and friendly staff, and wrote me a referral to one of the best oral surgeons that he knows. It was a quick trip with no fusses and got right down to business. Will certainly be coming back for my annual cleanings and all my other dental needs and highly recommending him to family and friends in the area! read more

Dr. Hong has been our family dentist for over a year. What a difference. Dr. Hong is the best --truly awesome. He is so kind and professional. We've had several disappointing experiences with other dentists in the Vienna/Tyson's area, so it has been a major relief for us to have found Dr. Hong. He takes the time with his patients to understand their needs and he always follows up to make sure that the treatment fully meets expectations. My husband and I are very pleased in every way. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Hong for over 2 years. This is the first Yelp review I have ever written. I felt the need to write this because I think Dr. Hong goes above and beyond what he has to do for his patients. He is very thorough and talks you through and explains everything. He is a very reassuring dentist and I highly recommend him. read more

Ok so let start off by saying I am EXTREMELY particular! I submitted a request for an appointment online after closing hours. My request was responded to the very next day. I was able to get an appointment the same week even. I was displeased with the work performed by a previous dentist less than a month earlier. Dr. Hong was extremely personable yet professional. He listened to my concerns and made recommendations that I could live with. He didn't even make any negative comments about the work of my other dentist even though the issue was obvious. I made sure to express my discontent. I have never been to a dentist who cares about their patients. I read some of the other reviews and jokingly thought that he must know these people or something. I definitely share their sentiments. He's amazing! read more

Hate dentists (or really just dentistry when practiced on me). But being in Dr Hong's office is great -- he is warm and considerate and it feels comfortable to be in his chair. Expect to receive lots of very human attention. read more

I went to Dr. Hong yesterday during the snow (they were open) and had a lovely experience. My cleaning was beautifully and gently done by the very kind hygienist. Office was clean and easy to find. I trusted Dr. Hong from my very first impression and he took time to educate me on several issues. He did have to make a referral to an endodontist but was reassuring about the clinical training and expertise of that provider, as well. read more

Dr. Hong is very thorough, professional, and gentle. The office is clean and the staff is very nice.

Amazing dentist! Dr. Hong is the most thorough doctor I've seen yet. He is all about educating his patients about their dental health so that they understand and appreciate what steps are needed (or not needed) to maintain the health of their teeth. He will go into extensive details about a procedure and explains in plain English the implications each step, which for someone like me needs in order to feel comfortable at each step of the way. He is very meticulous and methodical so you, as a patient, feel you are getting real, meaningful service. I had gone to a number of dentists before choosing Dr. Hong - what I believe sets him apart is that he is conservative in his approach, suggesting only the work that is needed and will sometimes even advises against anything that may be too aggressive and potentially costly. Lastly, as busy as he is with the numerous number of patients he has, he will go the distance and spends the time needed to work with the insurance people to get his patients the best care they are entitled to. He is the only doctor I know who would get on the phone with his patient to talk with insurance to clarify any issues or defend a claim for his patient. He is what a doctor should be - providing his patients the best care and doing it with a big heart and lots of energy and enthusiasm. read more

I moved to the area, and work in Tysons Corner - so I wanted someone close. I stumbled upon Dr. Hong - I'll never go to another dentist as long as I am in the area. Dr. Hong is very personable, and takes the time to explain all issues with your teeth. I've been to him for a routine check up and fillings - both times the appointment started early as they were ready before I signed in. Dr. Hong deserves 6 stars, not to mention I always walk away with squeaky clean teeth! read more
