What is it that the kids are saying these days? This place is a whole vibe! I LOVED my visit today and have never felt more comfortable at a dentist's office. No, literally - I almost fell asleep. Why? Because they offer dope amenities and freebies like COCKTAILS and neck warmers with essential oils. Likeeee... what?!? Unheard of. I really loved it here. Below are some helpful deets. EMPLOYEES: The employees here are soooo sweet. You're offered a beverage at check-in and check-out - all free; as are the lip balms, which come in clutch after having your mouth open for an hour. I had the pleasure of having Heaven and Dr. Salpetch. Both were fantastic and honestly the most personable people I've ever met when visiting the dentist. They were also super thorough. PARKING: Didn't love the parking sitch here. If it's your first time, look for the color blue. They don't validate, so expect to pay $8 per visit, but it's worth it. They are in building 99, and blue is the corresponding color. COMFORT: Yooooo. Cocktails, blankets, headphones and movies, neck warmers, and more? Here for it. Plus, the office is a vibe. It's so nice and aesthetically pleasing that even just waiting to check in doesn't suck. TECHNOLOGY: Loved the technology they used and the care they took in leveraging it to best serve patients. It's not your old beat down dentist's office at all. INSURANCE: They take CareFirst. Can't speak to the others. Overall, I had a great visit. So great, in fact, that I can't wait to return next week for my filling. read more

Would definitely recommend!! read more

I can't rave enough about these ladies! When I say they are the best, they are top tier elite. From Nila and the front desk ladies to all the hygienist, and not to mention Dr. G is heaven sent. They are so personable. I actually enjoy going to the dentist. Don't let the name fool you, there is an actual full service bar! I could go on and on about the reasons I enjoy coming here. It got to the point where I was making up reasons to schedule an appointment lol. I would send people over and over. Also, it's important to note, that going to the dentist can be such a drag and a turn off. Come here it's so comforting and doesn't have that "dentist" smell. It's just simply the best. read more

Dental Bar - General Dentistry Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Dental Bar is truly a boutique experience and unlike any dental office I have been to. My daughter recently had her 6 year molar come in and unfortunately the gum tissue above it became inflamed and very uncomfortable for her . The fortunate part was finding dental bar. Upon arriving, you step into such an aesthetically pleasing office that you might just question if it is in fact a dental office . Make no mistake, it is a dental office and you will also be offered a drink as well. Bonus points for the fact that they are very Covid Era friendly(seats are spaced apart and temperature checks are in place.) . They have a drink menu that ranges from alcoholic beverages to sparking juice. Check in process is completed on iPads vs paper. Once you are taken back to your room, you are offered a plethora of services to make your visit as comfortable as possible . These include : Heated lavender scented neck pillows, a massage option for your chair, cozy blankets, tv which is right above your head( hbo max as well as Netflix) , headphones for the tv, and above par customer service . I was a bit nervous for the process with my daughter since she was so young, but Dr. G made it essentially painless. The entire procedure was finished pretty fast with my daughter focused on the tv the entire time and not even realizing what happened. Gum tissue was removed and entire area very clean. Dental Bar is definitely setting the standard for new era dental care . read more

Easy, Amazing service, luxury atmosphere, I look forward to going to the dentist now.

This place seems to be a huge money making operation. Look at the other reviews for more information. I've been going to Dental Bar for a while now. Yeah, it's posh and you get a cocktail. That's all a facade. My dentist recommended I get thousands of dollars in dental work the last time I had a cleaning. That seemed a bit off. I went to my childhood dentist for a second opinion and he said my teeth were fine! I then called Dental Bar to let them know I wasn't interested in any of the services they recommended and they stopped corresponding with me!! They never even followed up to schedule another appointment for a cleaning or tell me as of August they are no longer accepting my dental insurance. I had to call them! My brother-in-law and sister had a similar experience with their dentists at this place! Stay away! Dental Bar is shady!! read more

Dental Bar is amazing! This is the most upscale dentist office that I've ever been to. From the amazing interior decor to the massage dental chairs that I sat in for all of my cleanings. You truly feel MVP through out the entire experience. Nohely and Dr. G are great when it comes to making sure that you're comfortable in the chair. I was at ease the entire time while watching HBO Max because there's a tv on the ceiling while you're laying down for treatment and I was getting massaged by my chair at the same time. This is what they mean by "self care" lol Nila at the front desk was awesome! She made sure that I was taken care of before and after treatment. If you're still on the edge about finding "the one" when it comes to dentistry, look no further! You will not be disappointment at The Dental Bar. read more

Smile Bar just so happened to have opened doors right before I was due for a teeth cleaning so it was the perfect opportunity for me to check this place out. I was technically already sold on the spot when I saw the interior because, aesthetics and I'm all about disrupting traditional practices. Dr. Vitaliya cleaned my teeth herself and I love that she showed me before and after photos of my cleaning so I could see the difference, it made. I was also given a heated neck pillow with lavender essential oils once I was seated in the patient chair. It was amazing and made the experience much more pleasant along with the slight back massage movements of the chair. There's also a TV mounted on the ceiling for your entertainment as you get your teeth cleaned so you don't have to worry about that constant chatter in your head agonizing the experience. Talk about being spoiled! There was just one slight hiccup. When I made an appointment or "reservation" online, I never got a confirmation email stating the time and date. When I finally received a confirmation from the front desk that my "reservation" was confirmed, there still wasn't any actual date or time on the confirmation notice so I had to rely on my memory for that and ended up being about 30-35 minutes early to my appointment. I hope this communication error gets fixed! Other than that, my whole experience was quick and seamless and Dr. Vitaliya and her staff are super sweet! I love, love, love the concept of Smile Bar Dentistry and the direction they're going in - taking the traditional dental experience and giving it a modern twist. Where blank white walls and large fish tanks are of yesteryear. Instead, you will find brick walls and exposed ceilings with large windows, iPads and a refreshment bar while you wait in the waiting lounge. All forms are also cloud-based, in which you will fill out on the iPad. Props to being green! If you're due for a teeth cleaning or looking for a new dentist, I recommend checking this spot out! read more

This place is beautiful. I love the staff, vibes, and overall interaction with the doctor. I live in South Riding and I drive 45 minutes to DB just for a check up. That should say something. Here is an overall list of things you'll see/experience: -very clean -well done interior decoration -free sanitizer bottles -multiple beverage options -checks temp prior to entering -flat screen on ceiling for you to watch while you're being worked on -massage chair read more

Very inviting and comfortable space they've created. Friendly and attentive staff. Quality of the routine dental services seems excellent but the dentist pushed pretty hard in recommending a particular oral surgeon to have a tooth evaluated for extraction and implant. Even after I received a second opinion from an endodontist suggesting "monitoring" was a viable approach, the dentist said it wasn't a good idea since my "tooth could explode in my mouth"! Not wanting any sudden dentition detonations to occur, but not feeling any discomfort at all, I sought a 3rd opinion from another dentist. Ongoing monitoring was recommended... which is what I'm going to do. I'm left feeling like Dental Bar was too quick to advocate for the oral surgeon and a little slow in advocating for me. read more

I love Dental Bar! Dr. G and her team are the best I've ever experienced, and Linda is the all star!!

I never thought to write a yelp review for a dentist's office but I feel compelled to because my dentist visit was such a delight. Yes, you read that correctly. It was delightful! Visiting dental bar is like going to a cool NYC coffee shop. You kinda feel, "Am I cool enough to belong here?" And the answer is yes! The staff are super nice and inviting. Instead of feeling tense because I am going to be poked with sharp stick and then shamed about how I floss, I felt no judgement-- like they actually want me to feel comfortable and come back? Refreshing. And then the dentist cleaned my teeth, said I was doing a good job (whaaaat?), and gave me a free toothbrush, chapstick, and reusable bag. I have recommended Dental Bar to everyone in the area looking for a dentist. They are conveniently located near Potomac Yards so if you are near there, you can easily walk over. If you are wary of the dentist try this place! read more

I think this place is a scam. They tried to charge me TWICE for an expense I had already paid for. Was very weird and they quickly tried to brush it off. Dentist forgot to clean my teeth until I reminded her, which was the primary reason I went! They told me I had 2 cavities and I came back for fillings that took less than 5 min and they didn't even numb me... everything about this place is odd. Who wants a cocktail at the dentist? read more

This was the BEST dental experience I've ever had. From A to Z, everything was perfect. Dr. Vitaliya did an amazing job with my cleaning, with before and after photos - she truly cares about your teeth. The hygienist and Nila were very detail oriented and cared about your experience being the most comfortable. The design of actual office is stunning and clean. Also, I can't say the glass of mimosa + QUIP toothbrush didn't make it 10x better. I can't wait until my next cleaning! Thank you guys! read more

Dr Vitaliya G is amazingly meticulous and patient. I discovered her last year and enjoyed coming to Dental Bar since then. So far, he has done cleanings and an inlay on my teeth. She makes sure the patient is comfortable all the time. The office takes different insurance plans and are competitively priced. She would never ask patient to come see her just to charge extra fees (seen other doctors do that). I took my 3 years old to a visit with her and she was extra patient with the toddler. I like the rest of her staff as well : Nila is at the front desk and Anthony is dental assistant. Will keep coming back! read more

Dental Bar - Waiting area - General Dentistry Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I had such a lovely experience. Truly one of the best experiences I've ever had at a dentist office or medical office in general. The environment upon walking in was so comfortable and not at all intimidating or scary as I've seen in other medical centers. I can't wait for my upcoming cleaning in October. I had VITALIYA GENIEVA, DDS and absolutely loved her. She was great and walking me through why she thought my gum recession was occurring and why original advice from a different office may have been incorrect. I've already been recommending the Dental Bar and can't wait to go back. read more

The thought of dentists are frightening especially during COVID times. As soon as you walk in, the staff is so kind and welcoming. The atmosphere is absolutely relaxing and comforting!! Staff was super prepared with their COVID protocols and made sure I was informed every step of the way. This is not your typical dentist office!!!! The staff is one of a kind !!! This has changed my experience with dentists as a whole. Plus the free complementary Quip toothbrush is pretty sweet! read more

Only great things to say about my experience. Dr. Vitaliya is great, she listens to your concerns, came up with a couple of options for my dental plan. The entire atmosphere is designed to calm you down. They have a gentle massage chair, essential oils, warm pillow, blanket, TV on the ceiling. It was pretty easy overall. The cleaning was fantastic, they are able to show you before and after pictures. Since it is a small office they take care of the patients in the office first, so you might have to leave a message if you are calling for an appointment. I needed my partial wisdom teeth removed and honestly, I have had crackers hurt my mouth more than the entire procedure. I don't know why I waited so long. I will be recommending to all my friends. read more

The experience me and my husband had in this practice is less than one star. Long story short, we will never go back and will never recommend this practice to anyone. I really feel like they trying to find as much problems as possible to charge you more money. My husband came for a regular check up and cleaning, without any concerns or pain. Dr. Vitaliya suggested to do a root canal on one of the tooth, and instead of sending him to see an orthodontist , started to do it herself and after trying for almost 3 hours wasn't able to finish it. She asked to come back the next day because she already had a line waiting, and she will need to read some books about this issue. !!!!!!!!! What? Read books??? The next day she could not finish it either. So she sent my husband to orthodontist to fix her job. How surprised my husband was when orthodontist said the tooth is almost destroyed by Dr. Vitaliya and in had multiple pieces of crushed tooth stuck inside the whole that he drilled. He said he will try to save the tooth but there a big change it will need to be removed because of poor job done by Dr. Vitaliya. Its took two visit to orthodontist to finish the root canal and save the tooth. In addition, they reported to the insurance that they did a deep cleaning and insurance paid for it when in fact my husband received a regular cleaning. So, when he went to another dentist a year later and they said he need a deep cleaning, insurance rejected to cover it since deep cleaning was already "performed". Nothing good to say about this practice, other than that decor and style of the office is really nice and stylish. Thats about it.... read more

Great experience both times I've been in. I love this office so much. Yes, the layout and style of the office are gorgeous and yes they even serve drinks but it's the staff that are truely awesome there. They are really attentive and care about the people they work on. It doesn't hurt to watch TV/Movies as you get your teeth cleaned as well. I'd recommend this dentist to anyone looking for a new one. read more

It's a no for this company. I simply scheduled a invaslign consultation. This resulted in 3 calls to verify my insurance and request my X-rays. And also I would need to pay to transfer my X-rays. Post this info on your website. This is not required for a consultation as they are required to use the invaslign scanner to take a scan to make their assessment. I know this as I have dentist in my family that are not located in my state. And I completed an assessment with my current dentist. What is the deal with the insurance validation as you don't technically have to use it especially not for a cosmetic consultation. Waste of my energy, research, and vacation time. If you want my insurance then the consultation is not free. Also, she asked me twice if I knew if my insurance covered ortho- I said yes as I'm in HR and fully understand benefits. But again, Invisalign can be paid out of pocket. Just bad vibes. read more

There is a reason this place has such a high reviews score. They totally deserve it. Entire staff is phenomenal in person, on the phone or via email. Dr. G is a customer service pro and wants our teeth looking as good as they can. I am so happy their new location is still within walking distance. I have my lifetime dentist! read more

This office is cozy and beautiful, but it was the people who really made you feel at home. The receptionist, tech and dentist were all so friendly and made me feel like a friend coming over to their house. As someone who grew up hating going to the dentist, this was SO refreshing and it didn't even feel like I was going in for a teeth cleaning! I felt like a VIP from beginning to end. Not to mention the warm neck pillow, the massage chair, the TV on ceiling (with headphones in case you don't want to hear the dental buzzes) and modern music playing. I almost wanted the Dr to tell me I had a cavity so I could return ASAP (almost...) Recommend 100%! And THEN, the gift bag with the Quip toothbrush on the way out...next level. read more

Amazing place! Dentists are super knowledgeable and helpful. The place is so modern and relaxing. They have TVs on the ceiling for you to watch movies while you get your teeth cleaned. They also have a diffuser in the cleaning room that makes the room smell so fresh. Definitely coming back. read more

Great hours, wonderful staff. I was in town on business, they saw me in short notice and extracted a tooth with minimal discomfort. So glad they had extended hours. read more

I was referred here after having a mishap that needed immediate attention. Dr. Genieva and her entire staff were simply the best. Super accommodating (it was a last minute minor emergency) , friendly, professional and Dr. Genieva handled my issue with precision and great knowledge. Not to mention the amazing office/bar environment. I will be sending everyone I can here! read more

Why did I not start going here sooner!?! Fast, friendly, high-tech and most of all relaxing service! Highly recommended hidden gym in Alexandria and my new dentist!!! read more

Sooo many great things I could say about Smile Bar! Starting from amazing design and atmosphere to the top professional specialists! The owner - Dr Genieva - is super sweet and knowledgeable. You feel yourself very safe and confident in her hands. She had my teeth fixed easy and properly. They provide drinks, snacks, warm pillow and blanket and complimentary laughing gas! My whole experience went far beyond my expectations! Totally recommend them as you dental care provider! read more

Dr. V is amazing. The office is amazing, if you have any fears of the dentists-worries over. The warm neck pillows, blankets, and tv on the ceiling are just the beginning of the comfort provided. And can't forget the mini bar(yup, you read that right). read more

I'm beyond happy and satisfied to find this dental practice! Dr. Vitaliya is super knowledgeable, very thorough and attentive to every little detail, has an excellent bed side manner, and is very accommodating to patient's needs and financial abilities. I've been through many dentists, who over exaggerate the little problem in order to rip the patient off and perform absolutely unnecessary procedures. Not Dr. Genieva... she performs dental cleaning all by herself. She's so thorough and detail-oriented! I've never had even hygienist spend as much time as Dr. Vitaliya on cleaning my teeth and making sure each and every little spot is removed. I had some issues with my molars, and she gave me a time frame to attend to this issue... didn't push me to treat it on the spot. She also provides patients with individualized financial plan to make it affordable. I loved her practice so much, that brought my teen for cleaning and exam. My daughter was very happy with Dr. Genieva's approach and the way she cleaned her teeth (usually, teens are not very expressive :)). I also loved the whole ambiance of her office - it looks more like a boutique than the dentist's office. She hand picked her staff, who are all very pleasant, efficient. Moreover, patients get comfortable lying down on the massage chair with the warm lavender pillow on their necks and shoulders, watching their favorite TV show... all, while Dr. Vitaliya is working her "magic" transforming stained teeth into whitest pearls:). Whole experience was so pleasant! There was no intimidation of massive scary looking tools and equipment at all. She has high end latest tools, such a small portable pen camera that takes pictures of the teeth. I really appreciate seeing her invest money into all the latest technology just to make it comfortable for her patients. I've enrolled myself and my daughter into her annual program and will be looking forward to my next appointment. Thanks so much, Dr. Genieva for changing my apprehensive attitude towards dentistry! HIGHLY recommend this practice! read more

I have to be honest . First off the decor is what got me to come to this office. After that it was like a spa treatment more than a regular dentist office . The staff was from out of this world and the super friendly and detailed about each step and process of my treatments. They are wonderful and I've been telling everyone I know about them . I want to get my teeth cleaned once a month now . read more

Professional, expert skill and patient care every step of my treatment. Patient comfort and satisfaction experience is above and beyond ordinary medical office visits. There should be more than 5-stars. read more

Y'all...I cannot talk enough about how wonderful this place is! The first time I went I had not been to the dentist in 7 years **yikes!** I was nervous and embarrassed; my only experience with the dentist was in one of those old dentist offices where there are pictures of before and after smiles on the wall, and when you are walking back to the teeth cleaning rooms to walk past the rooms where people are getting root canals and teeth pulled so you just hear the drill and the door is shut so you just know the people are in pain. Dental Bar is the complete opposite, lots of natural light, they make you feel comfortable, everyone is happy and they all know your name/ remember you from the last time. They have a tv to watch with headphones, the chair massages you and it is just all around amazing. Also everyone is so nice warm and inviting! I live in DC drive about 30min to get there, I would literally drive longer if I had to, a good Dentist is hard to find! read more
