My initial experience with the dentistry was fine - nothing exceptional. However, my latest experience has resulted in me looking for a new practice. I had to cancel an appointment a few weeks ago because of a crisis situation at my place of employment. I left a message the morning of the appointment - seeing as I had only just been alerted of the issue at work - but was still charged a $50 cancellation fee. I find this to be ridiculous, as there was no way I could have been aware of the issue and been able to prepare for it. No one at the practice was interested in that perspective, though, and I was pretty much told that this is our policy - take it or leave it. I'll leave it. read more

To give Dr. A and his team at Modern Dentistry anything less than 5 stars would just be downright insulting. From the moment I made the first call to schedule an appointment to my most recent filling, I've received nothing but top notch treatment. The office is not very large and you can easily walk by it on Wisconsin Ave and not even notice it even though there's a giant sign out front that says, "Modern Dentistry". (Yes, I admit, I have walked by it plenty of times and totally didn't realize there was a dentist office there.) They really live up to the "modern" in their name. They send emails to confirm appointments, remind you of appointments and even offer text message reminders. In the waiting room there is a refrigerator with water and soda as well as a TV to catch up on the morning news while you wait to be taken back. And then when you enter the exam room, there's another TV for you to watch while your mouth gets x-rayed, prodded and cleaned. The staff is very professional and really pleasant to be around. They explain exactly what they're doing, why they're doing it and what you need to do better at for next time (which was important for me since I hadn't visited the dentist in a few years...). The attentiveness and the efficiency of the staff also impressed me. Even though I hadn't had a exam/cleaning for awhile, I wasn't stuck there all morning and missed half the workday. After being sufficiently assessed, I was given a printout of my treatment plan and shown exactly what my insurance covered and what I'd have to pay out of pocket. I wasn't pressured to go one way or the other - I was simply presented with information about my options and given ample time to decide what I wanted to do. In the end, I needed a few follow-up appointments for my course of treatment and was easily able to secure times that worked for me. It seems like there can be a long wait for appointments but it is because they do not overbook to ensure that each patient has sufficient time to be examined and not feel rushed out the door to bring in the next patient; something everyone should appreciate! I cannot say that I love going to the dentist, but Dr. A and his team at Modern Dentistry do make it a pretty pleasant experience - even when getting fillings done! I'd not once hesitate to recommend this practice to anyone on the hunt for a new dentist - you won't be disappointed. read more

I almost don't want to share how awesome this office is...some treasures you want to keep to yourself :) I've been going to the team at Modern Dentistry for over 5 years now. Despite having moved over an hour away, that drive is worth it to me each time. Even in DC rush hour traffic. Dr. A and his team are always professional, very positive, and they CARE. Modern Dentistry is not an assembly line dentist's office. They don't fill seats to give each patient 10 minutes and on to the next. They take time with each patient and focus on the individual need. Modern Dentistry is always flexible with last minute emergency appointments. They helped me put together a dental plan to reach a smile that reflects who I am. As other dental specialists (outside of the Modern Dentist family) became involved in my mouth care, Dr. A always took a vested interest in my end result. A patient couldn't ask for anything more. They're offices are top notch dental technology, clean, modern, and inviting. Every member of the staff is pleasant and always friendly. I continue to recommend Modern Dentistry to family, friends, and colleagues. No matter your thought towards dentists, Modern Dentistry is sure to exceed those expectations. read more

The updated technology coupled with a great staff make Modern Dentistry a 5 star practice. I've had both Dr. Fordjour and Dr. Abramson, though I will admit for nothing more than a checkup, but they were both personable and professional. Fran, the hygienist is wonderful - gentle, thorough, and pleasant. The best hygienist I've ever had. Tons of digital photos are taken and stored in your virtual file - a great way to keep track of problem areas, things to "keep an eye on", etc. Plus, there are handy little things like email reminders which I love. Tips: schedule your appointment far in advance - they fill up quickly, especially coveted evening, first appt of the day, and weekend slots. Parking is easy on the street or there is a bus stop very close if that is your thing. read more

Best dental providers ever -- from the person who answers the phone and schedules your appointment to the hygienists (Fran is my absolute fav) to Dr Abramson, who is knowledgeable, personable & has a great sense of humor. I travel from northern Virginia and it's well worth it. read more

So impressed with them that I recommended them to my coworkers! They sure are living up to their name, lots of technology, their x-rays are all electronic and they will display them right on the computer screen. The hyginist Maura? was super gentle and got rid of all my stainings. They also don't push any unrequired services. Didn't have any problems scheduling, but do need to call a month or so in advance or you'll need to be super lucky and wait for a cancellation. My second visit had a slightly longer wait time, but they were apologetic. The location is very accessible by bus and about a 15-20 min walk from Cleveland Park metro. Very residential neighborhood and cactus cantina is right across the street. Smiles-- *dink*! Very happy with my dentist. read more

Staff were friendly and helpful, from the people who greet you at the front desk to the dentist. My hygienist was thorough and took the time to explain what she was doing (and why!) The dentist was open about what type of work he felt comfortable doing in his office and what he reccomended I get a consultation for. And with the digital X-rays that they'll send to your email and their text-message appointment reminders, they truly live up to their name. I'm actually excited to go back for a filling! My only complaint was that it took almost 2 months to get my first appointment for a cleaning. I can clearly see why they're so busy - great staff, great service! 4/22/16 Update: Just updating to give 5 stars, which is ALWAYS the level of service I receive at Modern Dentistry. I will be moving out of the area soon, and I'm devastated to have to leave my dentist. He's the only dentist I've ever felt truly comfortable with! read more

I just had a great appointment at Modern Dentistry. I booked an appointment here because the reviews were great, and they took my insurance. From the get-go, it was easy to get an appointment. The receptionist was extremely friendly and accommodating. Though I was unable to secure an appointment right away, he put me on their "quick-fill list." Normally those things are a farce right? Nope. Not here. They called me no less than 3 times with a possible earlier appointments! I should also mention that they are great with appointment reminders. Instead of the typical phone-call reminder, they sent me an email and a text message. I was able to confirm my appointment with a simple reply. I also thought the reminders were timely and were not overwhelming. When I arrived, reception was, one again, excellent. I was seen about 5 minutes after my scheduled appointment time, which was 3:30. I think that's pretty excellent for a late in the day appointment. Luis, the dental technician who took my x-rays, prepped me for, and assisted during my cleaning was absolutely fantastic. He was friendly, funny, and put me at ease. Dr. Youn was also really great. She was great at explaining to me what she was seeing on the x-rays, as well as in my gum-check. She did a very thorough cleaning, but was still gentle enough where I wasn't wincing. They were a great team! Overall, the office is very clean and has great technology. The demeanor of everyone you interact with is exceptional, and I give them my highest recommendation. read more

Outstanding dentist's office from the scheduling, insurance, and front desk folks to the hygienists and to Dr. Abramson himself. So glad my endodontist recommended them to me! I've been going now for a number of years, and they've helped me through some implant crown installations and also some very mundane tooth issues, all with the kind of expertise and friendliness you'd hope for in a dental office. read more

This is my third visit to modern dentistry. The first two were for cleaning with Moira. She was really good, and very nice. My third visit was for two cavities. Dr. Ariel Abramson did a great job. Latoya Turner assisted him and was very nice as well. I barely felt the shots, after which they took plenty of time to make sure that area of my mouth is completely numb. In this waiting time Dr. Abramson surprised me loading some Israeli music on the computer (I'm from Israel), and playing it on the speakers in the treatment room. That was a very nice thing to have in the background. Everything was done fairly quickly, gently, and with constant attention to my comfort. I really like Modern Dentistry, form the welcoming front desk, the nice waiting area with the tv and cooled bottled water, to the cleanliness of the entire place, and the text/email appointment reminders. The only complaint is that I went in 30 minutes late for my appointment, but that is something that cannot be avoided. I recommended this place to my wife, who got in on a last minute cancellation on a three days notice (my appointment had to be scheduled a couple of months in advance), and I would recommend this place to all my friends. read more

Both my wife and I have had great experiences here over the past 2 years. As others have noted - tv screens, personable staff, and quiet Wisconsin Ave location make for a pleasant visit to the dentist. But overall, Dr. A and his new addition, Dr Fordjour are impeccable when it comes to their work. Both are very friendly and professional. I've had two minor procedures with Dr. A, beyond the typical cleaning. Both went amazingly smooth. On my latest visit, Dr. Fordjour impressed me with his light touch. I'm not afraid of dentists or likely to complain of their work... but this was the best, least invasive cleaning I've ever experienced. Didn't even feel it. High recommendations - just don't crowd me out when I want an appointment! read more

Today was my 3rd time at Modern Dentistry and my experience was exactly the same. Everyone is friendly, I was taken back on time for my appointment, and I was given helpful information for keeping my teeth clean and healthy! I had to get a little filling, and they were able to squeeze me in and do it right then. I will definitely continue going to Modern Dentistry! read more

I LOVED this place. I went there for the first time this morning, and I have to say it was possibly the best dentist experience I've had! The office itself is very new and clean, my room had it's own TV, which I enjoyed. Also there was ample street parking in the residential areas right off Wisconsin Ave. I was also impressed with the technology they utilize - it made me realize how many other dentists are behind the times! You can make appointments online and they send reminders and other information via e-mail (and even text message if you so choose). It's also clear that their equipment is the latest technology, as well. Most importantly, Dr. A and his team were so wonderful. The receptionist and dental hygienist were super friendly and Dr. A was very patient and welcoming. He took his time addressing any concerns I had and he did a very thorough examination. Needless to say, I don't have enough wonderful things to say about Modern Dentistry! read more

I was a patient at Modern Dentistry for 4 years and every visit was excellent. All of the staff at Modern Dentistry are friendly, extremely professional, and always considerate. I highly recommend Dr. Abramson and his team because they provide outstanding service and strive to keep your teeth and gums happy and healthy. I would have absolutely continued to be a patient with this location if I did not have to move from the DMV area. read more

Man, I hate going to the dentist, it is by far the worst experience to me. That was until I met Dr. A and his wonderful staff. I found them through ZocDoc.com (an amazing service) and I scheduled my appointment online. It is great to get confirmation emails, reminder txts and follow up emails; no more postcards! Long story short, I had my first cleaning is a few years and he and his staff here great. You can watch TV while they clean your teeth, they use the most up-to-date equipment, they are great at explaining everything and it is quick! I had to have some work done and I still had a bit of pain after, I got an appointment for the next day and it was fixed in 10 minutes, for free! If you need a dentist and your insurance covers him, go to Dr A and you will be much happier. I cannot say enough good things about this place. read more

Dr. Abramson is very personable, friendly and informative. My teeth are in great health, but he still spent a lot of time going over my teeth and making sure everything was good. He didn't try to sell me extra services that I really don't feel I need (like fluoride treatments) or try to tell me that I needed to have old fillings replaced, etc. The office is bright, clean and well cared for. The equipment is modern and functional. They even provided movie eye glasses so I could watch TV while having my teeth cleaned. The only unusual thing was that they didn't floss my teeth for me, which I could take or leave depending on how gentle the person is... It was relaxing and it was really nice that he was knowledgeable and communicative. I will definitely be going back. read more

Okay, nobody loves going to the dentist but I can't stop talking to everyone about my amazing appointment with Modern Dentistry! I just moved to the area a year ago and a resounding sense of guilt was what made me seek out a dentist for a checkup. Even before I got into the office, I was impressed with the professionalism and positive attitude booking the appointment and the cutting edge appointment reminders confirmed over phone, email and text message. Once I got into the office, the check-in was friendly, with awesome magazines and my favorite TV show in the waiting room. I was immediately at ease with how comfortable the setting was. My hygienist, Fran, was super nice, funny, and most important--extremely competent. She talked me through all of the x-rays and procedures. I really liked how comprehensive the process was, especially with Modern Dentistry's firm stance of monitoring the 'whole mouth' and not just what standard x-rays show. (btw, happy anniversary Fran!) I met with Dr. Fordjour, who was fantastic. Even though we only met for a couple of minutes, he assured me that everything was fine, and told me all about the spots they were going to monitor. He was very accomplished but I never felt slighted or inferior. Overall, the entirely process was painless both physically and mentally and I can't recommend this practice enough. They are truly 'modern' and make going to the dentist a wonderful experience. read more

Moira and Dr Abramson are great. They make everything easy with their calm bedside manner. Highly recommend!

I've really enjoyed going to the dentist lately.. is that weird?? if so, Oh Well!...Dr. Abramson and his staff are so positive and fun that I always can't wait to get back to the dentist. My extraction was painless; both my crowns I fell asleep on (without gas) because I was always so relaxed. (Yes, they put the remote for the TV in my hand as soon as I get in the chair).. Like being at home on my couch. There are NO surprises with the cost ever. They are willing to split up the payments if you need to and are very helpful with your insurance if you don't understand what needs to get done. The stars are the reception staff; Fran the hygienist because she performed a beautiful scaling for me , the dental assistant with the beautiful dreads and of course Dr. Abramson. -p.s.- if you call and can't get them right away. Don't be dissuaded. Leave a message!.. they will call you back and or track you down to get your service and make sure they fit you in at whatever time you would like. read more

This place is awesome! From the moment you walk in, you, the place welcomes you with clean lines, pleasant smells, and warm smiles. The staff is professional and courteous. I had an absolutely wonderful experience and will continue to use this dentist for a long time! read more

Modern Dentistry - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I'm very willing to head out to Tenleytown for Modern Dentistry despite there being multiple dentists closer to my home and work. Dr. Abramson is very pleasant and professional, and I love Moira as my dental hygienist -- she is truly great at her job. If you're like me and you start flossing with gusto only when you remember that you have an appointment in a couple days... a cleaning is going to be a bit painful on those sensitive gums. But it's such a relief to have found a practice with a kind hygienist! Moira doesn't berate you or make you feel like you're the only person in the world whose gums bleed when being poked with a sharp object. She just reminds you what to focus on for next time. The office is clean and fresh-looking, the receptionists are helpful, and I've never had to wait more than a few minutes past my start time. As dentists go, this is definitely a 5-star experience! read more

I returned to modern dentistry after 10 years and it was like going home. Dr. Abramson still runs a cordial, modern and welcoming office. He discusses options that allow me to make my own decisions about what needs to be done. His work is careful and customized to my needs. He allowed me time to discuss many of the issues that arose during this pandemic. Many of these issues had a negative affect on my dental health that he helped to resolve. read more

I hadn't been to the dentist in over 10 years. I was petrified, but knew it was time to take the step in the direction of good dental hygiene. I found Modern Dentistry through my insurance company. My first visit consisted of the usual, x-rays, cleaning, prodding, etc. They are so incredibly thorough. They took a photo of every single tooth for the record. Understandably I needed some work so the next visit I needed to receive two fillings and get one repaired. I was in and out in 40 minutes! I can't tell you how happy I am to have found Dr. Abramson and his practice. I was afraid of hearing lectures, having unnecessary work done, etc. As long as Modern Dentistry is around I will never fear the dentist again! read more

Super professional, competent, efficient and friendly! This is by far the best dental practice I have gone to in my 65 years. From Kristina and others at the front desk, to the hygienists, Donna and Cristina to Dr Ariel Abramson and Dr Nisha Tamhankar, you will receive the gold standard of care. They are all extremely generous with their time and attention. Kristina and others at the front desk cheerfully answer all your insurance and administrative questions with amazing competence, friendliness and efficiency. Donna and Cristina have given me the most thorough and professional dental cleanings and evaluations I have ever had and are always a pleasure to be with. Dr Abramson and Tamhankar are super competent, gentle, caring, friendly, supportive, personable and make you feel totally at ease. Yesterday, Dr Abramson replaced 3 of my fillings that another dentist did years ago that had failed and he did it so beautifully, efficiently and painlessly. In fact, he was cracking so many jokes that I was laughing throughout the entire procedure. I used to dread going to the dentist and would become quite anxious for days before my appointments. Those days are over. I am now very relaxed about my visits and look forward to seeing the staff. I know I'm at the best dental practice I've ever known. read more

Fran is the absolute best hygienist! She is super knowledgeable and will answer any question you have. She also does the most gentle cleaning I've ever had. The staff and office are great! read more

I've been going to Modern Dentistry for years and have been so grateful for the consistent and high-level of care they give with every visit. I actually look forward to going. Dr. A is always engaged and never seems rushed. Moira is the best! The offices are clean and bright. The staff always friendly and warm. read more

As alway, so very friendly, professional, efficient. Moria does a fantastic job, and gives great advice. I highly recommend this office. read more

Is it weird to say that I love my dentist? Because I do. I live in Nashville and make appointments based on when I will be home visiting so that I can keep going to Dr. Abramson. We also live quite a ways away from Modern Dentistry, but we happily make the trek to Tenleytown because we like the practice so much. The practice is clean and organized while the staff are friendly and welcoming. Fran is my hygienist and I seriously love her. She remembers specific information about me and always asks me about it when I see her! Dr. Abramson is also very nice, although he usually only pops in for a couple of minutes at the end of the cleaning to check in. It is clear that this practice cares very deeply about building relationships with patients and keeping them happy. Case in point: the last time I went I had scheduled a cleaning (with Fran of course) and at the last minute Fran was out of town. They texted me to make sure that it was okay if I saw another hygienist! That is the ultimate in customer service if you ask me. As long as my family lives in the DC area I will continue to come to Modern Dentistry for my cleanings when I am home! read more

My experience with Dr. Abramson & his staff was positive in every way. Warm, helpful, very professional & knowledgeable, willingness to assist, informative & especially gentle, when needed. Obviously, it was everything I wanted on a first- experience from a new dentist! read more

The staff at Modern Dentistry always go above and beyond. Not only are they friendly, professional, and excellent at dental work, but they pay mind to how dental insurance works to try their best to help patients maximize coverage and take advantage of their benefits. read more

I really have a fear of the dentist. My experience here has been nothing but excellent. Everyone is so friendly and professional. I would definitely recommend Moira, my hygienist. She is so honest, and gentle, I felt very comfortable around her. I would really recommend Modern Dentistry to anyone looking for a new dental office. read more

Fast and friendly! The professionals at "Modern" are leaps and bounds the best you'll find. Their smiles are welcoming and their services, complete and efficient. They walked me through each step and I felt very comfortable. read more

Very professional and friendly staff. I went in for x-rays and a cleaning and I had a really nice experience. Dr. Abramson and the staff that I've interacted with - Moira, Donna, and Laura were all incredibly helpful and great! read more

Love Modern Dentistry. The entire office staff is always incredibly nice, welcoming, and easy to work with. Dr Abramson does such great dental work and the hygienists are fabulous too. I was there today for a dental cleaning and the experience was similar to hanging out with a girlfriend with a glass of wine. ( sans the red wine tooth stains). Highly recommend read more

Terrific dental practice. Fran is a friendly and thorough hygienist. Dr. Abramson is also great. Front desk staff is nice; office is very clean. read more

I visited this place because of good customer reviews and I am glad that I chose them. My first appointment at Modern Dentistry was impressive! Receptionist, assistant Luis and Dr Youn were very friendly and extremely professional. The entire office was so clean, even the toilet!

Over the past four years I have had the best experience with Modern Dentistry and I recommend this practice to anyone looking for a professional and pleasant experience. I trust Dr. Abramson will give honest feedback on my dental health and not try to advance his business. All employees I have engaged with are genuine and friendly and truly about customer service. read more

I've never liked the dentist, but this practice is so good, I'm honestly excited to go back (to have cavities filled no less!). From the minute I walked in, the front desk staff were friendly and kind and made me feel comfortable and welcome. I watched one staff member sit with an older woman in the waiting area and very patiently help her fill out all the electronic forms. Dr. Nisha and the dental assistant (I think her name was Shenise) were both amazing. They explained everything they were doing so I understood - I didn't even realize before I came to Modern Dentistry that I never had a dentist explain the procedures to me - and they didn't even shame me when I admitted I don't floss everyday :) They were up front about pricing and billing and offered extra services, but weren't pushy at all. I left feeling so comfortable and well taken care of! They truly care about the health of their patients and are super friendly and nice to top it off. My boyfriend and best friend also recently had appointments here and were similarly impressed. Hands down the best dental experience I've ever had in my life and probably the best doctor's office experience in general. Can't recommend them enough! read more
