I've gone to a dentist for close to a decade now that is wonderful, but is also a 40 min drive from…read moreme. So I began thinking that it might be time to explore some dentists downtown that are closer to where I live. As I was taking a close look at my teeth recently, I thought it might be time for my first in office teeth whitening session. At my other dentists' office, they only offered a take home kit with trays for a couple hundred dollars and other than that, I have only tested out Crest White Strips. However, as a coffee drinker I felt it was time for something I little more impactful. So I filled out the inquiry form online for Smile Beautiful and received a call back a day or two later to set up an appointment and ask a few questions about the process. A week later I was in the office for my appointment. I was told the process takes about two hours which includes the basic exam to ensure you're a good candidate, taking pictures, and four consecutive, 20 min sessions for application. While that's pretty accurate, I would suggest buffering in a little extra time if you're a new patient since you will need to fill out new patient forms upon arrival. Everyone I encountered here was so nice, welcoming and professional. Dr. Dan Jones was personable, funny and helped to explain anything to be mindful of. He was thorough but also very caring. It was a good opportunity to get a sense of what my experience might be if I were to return as an on-going patient. I can't remember the name of the person that worked through the pictures, prep and application with me but she was a gem as well. I'm so glad that they take before and after picture because at first, the whitening may not look as dramatic as you might think. But when you take a closer look at the palette of teeth shades to see where you started to where you ended, it's much more dramatic than what may fool the subtle eye. A bit of tooth sensitivity might take place for the day after, but they provided me a topical that could help if I had any discomfort. After a day, I really didn't experience additional sensitivity. I'll be returning this week for a follow-up appointment and to pick up my additional teeth whitening trays that come with the service, but overall I'm very pleased and pleasantly surprised by how great the folks are at Smile Dental! Thanks so much for helping to make my smile just a tad brighter!

Furthermore, he consistently makes unprofessional and disrespectful comments. All-around, a terrible dental office. Stay away.

I knew that I couldn't keep winging it and ducking that work. So, I mustered up the courage and went to this place that my friend kept insistently recommending, so he could get a free cleaning. (not sure if he ever got it lol). DC Light is efficient and professional. When I've been, they've had about 4 receptionists working, which is rare because a lot of offices would strain 1 or 2 people. On my first visit, they took my x-rays and gave me a rundown of my teeth. They said I keep my teeth very clean, but I have a lot of gum inflammation, especially around the front where I have a permanent retainer. They were going to recommend a deep cleaning (O_O), but determined I would be OK just coming there every 3 months for the first year (thank God!). The first cleaning went well and I left feeling good. I didn't even want to each lunch. They are aggressive because they do a thorough job. On the second visit, I missed my 9:15 appointment. The receptionist was so patient and accommodating to me in rescheduling. Thanks be to God, someone cancelled at 11:30, so I was able to walk back down the same day and get my cleaning done instead of commuting up during my telework day. Customer service FTW! As for the second cleaning, Dr. Jam, brought the heat! She started off being friendly and personable, which is what they always do before they commit attempted murder. She explained how I need to floss harder and actually took the time to recommend the proper floss and demonstrated the correct way to floss. I realized that I have been flossing wrong my entire life (childhood ruined). All in all, I like the dentists and Dr. Lee. The staff is friendly and I'm satisfied thus far. Warning: They clean your teeth very thoroughly. Dr. Jam actually showed me my mouth during the cleaning and it looked like a scene from a horror movie. So if you are a weakling, you may want to think twice if you don't take excellent care of your teeth.

Dr. Tran is sometimes dismissive when I share concerns about my teeth. He does not take timely and appropriate action to address issues. Due to his negligence, a small issue that I raised concerns about became a bigger, painful issue over time and I had to get expensive treatment that took up a lot of my time for appointments. Dr. Tran does not have a hygienist or a dental assistant. The only other employee in the office is the receptionist. Dr. Tran's availability can be quite limited. If you ever have to reschedule an appointment, you will be waiting for many weeks even for a routine cleaning since there is no hygienist. In addition, the office is not up-to-date with technology.
