Came in for a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning. I had such a great experience here. I've been to over 5 different dental practices in the last 10 years, and this has been, by far, my best experience. From the office management to the doctor, I've received excellent service - Front Office Management: I was given clear instructions. Estimates were accurate. Their responses were quick and friendly. Especially appreciated Quyen's knowledge about health insurance and her patience in answering specific questions about my plan. Dental Hygienist: Sabrina was incredibly friendly, thorough, and gentle. Doctor Lam: Did not try to upsell me on any products, gave me great tips, and was conscientious about my concerns. Couldn't have asked for a more knowledgeable doctor. read more

I cannot say enough wonderful things about this office. From the moment I walked in, every single person was incredibly kind, patient, and welcoming. Dr. Lam is exceptional -- thorough, incredibly knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. They ran more tests than I even knew existed, and their technology is truly next-level. I've had poor experiences with dentists in the past and developed pretty significant dental anxiety, but this team was unbelievably accommodating. They explained everything clearly, made sure I was comfortable, and were genuinely invested in helping me feel at ease. What impressed me most is that Dr. Lam identified the root cause of all my dental issues -- something no other dentist has ever done -- and created a plan that is both affordable and totally manageable. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would. I can't recommend them enough! read more

Posted a negative review this week about what I considered a bad practice of providing unannounced services and then charging extra for them--dental fluoride treatment not requested. Shortly thereafter I received a call from the office manager who informed me that in her absence the staff had performed this mistake. She promptly refunded the extra charge and profusely apologized. I was assured that they would continue to provide the excellent service we have become accustomed to. I am satisfied and want to change my rating to great. read more

Could not recommend Seneca Smiles and Dr. Lam more! What really stands out is how Dr. Lam takes the time to walk his patients through his diagnosis and explain his recommendations in real time with your X-rays up on the big screen. Dr. Lam and his team are also extremely thorough during your standard procedures such as cleanings or fillings. This level of transparency and care is unheard of in my experience with dentists. The office is also very responsive and easy to schedule. read more

Dr Lam provides amazing service and with cutting edge technique . He handles complex dental issues with great ease and his calm and humorous demeanor make for an enjoyable experience. I highly recommend. read more

I have been suffering from mild apnea and teeth clenching for years that my sleep quality is okay but not great as I woke up a few times at night and my sleep score according to my fitbit device has been below 80. After Dr. Pedro Lam's professional examination, he prescribed me a state of the art adjustable night guard to wear to cure my condition. Just wearing a night, I felt no jaw pain and I can feel I am much energized when I woke up(I haven't experienced this feeling for a long time). Then when I checked my fitbit sleep score this morning, it jumped to 89 !! A significant boost in my sleep quality(as shown). Since sleep quality is so important in contrbuting to our health and longevity, it worths every penny of investing into this device if you are serious about improving your sleep quality and health. Many thanks to Dr. Pedro Lam of solving my condition that has been bothering me for years. SL read more

This was the best dental appointment I have ever experienced. The staff was so kind, detail oriented and supportive and Dr. Lam was knowledgeable, thorough and took time to explain each step of the evaluation and ensure that I was comfortable. I just moved to this area and am so glad I found this office! read more

Dr. Lam and Emily provides amazing service! Their care and attention to detail are top notch. Will be back

The BEST dentist I've ever had! Service was impeccable, staff goes above & beyond to make you comfortable. Immediately as I sat on the patient chair the dental hygienist welcomed me with a comfort menu. She asked if I had any concerns. She listed items that were available for me during my appointment: sunglasses, chapstick, water, etc--basically whatever I needed to ensure I was comfortable. You also have the option to stream a show or movie via Netflix or listen to a playlist via Spotify during your appointment. My mouth felt so fresh after my appointment & I left feeling so happy with the service I received. read more

Poor communication and service; do not get retainers here. Items not arriving on time. Molds not taken correctly, and have to be repeated. The staff doesn't call when items arrive, but they are quick to take your money upfront. Took me over 3 months, 3 trips to the dentist and dozens of phone calls to get 1 set of retainers. Their hours are also unfavorable to anyone working regular hours. Would not recommend to anyone read more

I am petrified of dentists. Dr. Lam is newer to the practice. Liked him when my family and I did our initial cleaning with him but just had to a emergency visit and think he is the best dentist I have ever been to. I was impressed by his deep knowledge and way to break things down into exactly what he is doing. I heard him with a little kiddo in the next room and was so patient and kind I thought he must specialize in peds, but don't believe he does. He's amazing and am so happy he has moved to the area! I would be remiss if i didn't say the whole practice is great, from front desk to hygienist. They got me in today within 2 hours. read more

Dr. Lam is the ultimate professional and truly loves his work. He goes above and beyond by thoroughly answering all questions that I have. read more

I've been going to Dr. Sok for a little over a year now. She takes her time and is thorough but also gentle. She has a hunger for knowledge and is always doing new research and reading books and/or articles to better herself as a clinician (she's referenced several to me for my own studies). I would highly recommend seeing Dr. Sok I also got to see Dr. Pedro Lam a couple of times for adjustments of fillings and routine check ups and he is also very careful and precise with his work. I would highly recommend Dr. Lam You basically can't go wrong at this practice! read more

This brand new dentist office in the heart of Great Falls is amazing. Dr. Sok is one of the most knowledgeable people I've ever met and her meticulous care and attention to detail made me feel like a VIP. Furthermore, the state of the art facility and kind staff at Great Falls helped to make the overall experience that much more enjoyable. I've reviewed a few dentists here on yelp and I can say without hesitation that Great Falls is another fantastic business offering some of the best quality dental care available. I highly recommend you check out Great Falls if you are in need of any dental work. read more

I have been a patient of DR. SOK's for several years. SIMPLY amazing. She identified a bite issue that was threatening my teeth (grinding the front). She advised me AGAINST doing purely cosmetic things when it would have compromised an already weak tooth. She made time in her schedule to immediately fix a tooth that was giving me troubles. I can't think of a visit where there wasn't some form of value add. Lasly, NO high pressure add-on sales pitches like every other dentist. Super friendly and communicative woman. After years of hating the dentist I actually look forward to my visits here! read more

I've worked at and been to a lot of dental practices throughout the years and I have to say Seneca Smiles is nothing short of amazing! Going to the dentist probably isn't everyone's favorite experience, but Seneca Smiles ensures both a trusting and comforting environment and experience. Quinn and the rest of the staff are so warm and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you check in. I had one staff member take my X-Rays and another numb me up. These can both be uncomfortable and sometimes painful experiences, but they were all so gentle and patient throughout the process to the point where there was no discomfort at all! Lastly, I had the pleasure of my having my deep cleaning done by Dr. Lam. In addition to the the huge personal flat screen TV's he spoils his patients with while sitting in the chair, he is beyond skilled, patient, soft-touched, and informative. He takes his time communicating with you with everything that's going on, and is extremely personable and easy to get along with. If you're looking for a "home" for all of your dental needs, this is the place to come to. Thank you Seneca Smiles!!! read more

I have been a patient at this practice for about two years. I have always received exceptional care and service here. Dr. Sok and ALL her staff members (Emann, Melody, Juli, Shayma, and Ninous) are wonderful. They are all very kind and caring. They all do a wonderful job and have gone above and beyond my expectations! My first interaction with this practice was when I needed a root canal. I was having a lot of pain in my jaw and needed to be seen. They were able to schedule me on a Saturday because of my work schedule, and I was evaluated and treated right away. I am so grateful! I have been a happy patient since then and have even recruited my husband to be a patient here! In addition to the high level of care they provide, the facility is beautiful and very clean. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch dental practice. Thanks, Dr. Sok and staff, for all you do! read more

Fantastic, caring & attentive Dr and staff. Every person at this practice is top notch.

I had a dental emergency over the weekend and requested emergency dental care during the COVID19 "dental services lockdown" Dr Sok graciously came to the office for me today and Quickly took care of my problem. Her regular dental care is excellent; today it was superlative! read more

Came here for a teeth whitening. Got Dr.Lam, he's fantastic and he's very informative. Very friendly staff and even though it was painful, I'm satisfied with the many shade improvement of my teeth. read more

I followed Dr. Sok (I know her as Erica, though) from her previous practice because I have come to trust her with all things pertaining to my dental health. The dentist I saw before I found her was bad news -- he was competent enough, but it was always the case that he was trying to up-charge my family and me. This is not the case with Dr. Sok -- she is knowledgable and cautious, but she's also consumer-minded and will advise you honestly. It's like having a car mechanic you trust, instead of going to the big name chain stores. Aside from being an excellent dentist, Dr. Sok is kind, attentive and compassionate about her patients. One time I had to do five (yes, five) fillings in one sitting, and she took her time and proceeded at a pace that was comfortable to me. When you are in her chair, you are her top priority. The new practice is located conveniently off of Rte. 7 and Georgetown Pike. Amenities include a new digital X-Ray system (which exposes the patient to less radiation compared to film-based X-Ray) and flat-screen HDTVs which allow the patient to easily see his/her X-Rays instantly, as well as a panoramic X-Ray machine to develop a picture of the whole mouth. I give Dr. Sok and her practice five stars because she is trustworthy and I receive top-notch care from her. She makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience, which is something I cannot say for the vast majority of dentists I've seen in my lifetime. You will not be disappointed. read more

My family of six has been coming to Dr Sok for years. They take good care of each one of us At every visit. Excellent service and caring staff. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Sok or Erica since 2009. I was her patient in her previous practice near Fair Oaks Mall in Fairfax, VA. I do not regret making the choice of following Dr. Sok when she opened her own practice in Great Falls earlier this year. Dr. Sok's office staff is helpful and friendly. The office is conveniently open on Saturdays and accepts my dental insurance, Cigna. I have referred a several friends/co-workers to Dr. Sok. Erica makes the dental experience painless and relaxing as she takes the time to explain every procedure. You can even listen to music or watch TV while your teeth are being cleaned. I highly recommend Dr. Sok to anyone who is looking for a caring and gentle dentist. Dr. Sok is very thorough in everything she does from regular cleanings to Invisalign treatments. (Dr. Sok is currently managing my Invisalign treatment and I can already see the improvement in my teeth!) read more

I spent more than three hours to Great fall that made me so happy to be there. I did appreciate your serving. stuffs so friendly and doctors have many years of experiences that easy to deal with any problem. I will come back again next time. read more

What a wonderful experience! Dr Lam is so professional and really personable. I arrived for my appointment on the wrong day and the staff was awesome (especially Emily) and they accommodated me with a very short wait time. So happy to be a new patient. I feel that I am in good hands. read more

Enjoyed my visit. Kind and welcoming Staff. Gave me a tour and got a nice welcome gift. Dr Sok and staff explained cleaning procedures and exam results in detail. They really care and I really enjoyed my visit. read more

Dr Suk is a great dentist, patient and gentle, one of the few who gives painless Novocain! However, their policy is to "move " an appointment if you don't confirm over text or email. Extremely frustrating to arrive and find your appointment has been filled and you will have to reschedule or wait. Especially since these appointments were made six months in advance. If I was notified of the policy that would be different. They send so many notifications of appointments it becomes annoying and thought of as a reminder. read more

Staff was very friendly and I felt more knowledgeable about the condition of my teeth after my visit! Definitely recommend this place if you live nearby. read more

Dr. Sok and her staff are exceptional! I've had my teeth cleaned twice by Dr. Sok and both times were so painless. I always thought discomfort and sore gums were expected during and after cleanings, but definitely not the case here. Dr. Sok is very knowledgeable and never appears to be bothered by my numerous questions. When I got some cavities filled, she was very thorough and made sure I was doing okay throughout. Ms. Zara, Ms. Julie and another hygienist, whose name escapes me, are very friendly and helpful as well. I highly recommend this practice! Thank you all for the great service. read more

I have really enjoyed my experience at Great Falls and Reston Family Dentistry! I've had my cousin as my dentist for years and when he retired I was nervous about my first dentist experience without him. Great Falls Dentistry made the transition very easy and I felt very comfortable, well taken care of, listened to and never rushed. The care team walked me through all steps of the procedures and made me feel very at ease with everything happening. Front staff is amazing, too...very friendly and informative! On my first visit I had x-rays taken of my teeth and was walked through my care plan and the options I have for Invisalign and repairing a chipped tooth. On a return visit, Dr. Lam was amazing with my filling (first one ever!) and made me feel very comfortable and supported through the whole process since I was so nervous! He was quick and also very kind. He also took the time to speak to me about what else I may want to do with my teeth - Invisalign and repairs. He was incredibly knowledgeable! His supporting staff was also really friendly and helpful. Overall I've loved my experience at the practice so far! read more

This is the best dentistry office I've ever been to. The women at the front desk are very kind and courteous and Dr. Sok is awesome. I used to be terrified of going to the dentist and it gave me so much anxiety, especially the Novocaine shots, but Dr. Sok is incredibly gentle with her shots and will distract you. Her office is comfortable and the heated massage chairs are awesome! I recommend her to everyone! read more

Dr. Sok and her staff are so friendly and make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Very conveniently located near 193 and Route 7. Would definitely recommend to anyone in the area! read more

My family and I recently moved to Great Falls and were on the hunt for a new dentist and we ended up at Great Falls and Reston Family Dentistry. I have to say, I was VERY impressed by the advancement of the technology they use in their profession. They made my last dentist seem like he was in the dark ages. In addition, the staff was considerate and supportive to my young boys, 8 and 10 years old, while we were simultaneously being seen by the dentist. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

I used to go to Dr. Alayssami office in Herndon for my all dental needs (2004-2009), and since I had no other dentists to compare to, I thought it was normal to be painful during cleaning and such, and I completely trusted them ( they def sold me lots of things which I found out later on that I don't need GASP!) Couple of years ago, I decided to finally change my primary dentist to Dr. Sok ( at the time she was practicing in Fair Oaks which was close to where I worked) and seriously, I have been missing out! Instead of hygienist, Dr. Sok perform the routine cleaning, and she's the only one that does heck of a job without making my gum bleed everywhere. I noticed that she's wearing this magnifying glasses thing, whereas the hygienists (two from Dr. Alayssami office) never wore such a thing, and made my gum bleed every time I get my cleaning done. And when Dr. Alayssami office always pushed me to get stuff done for my teeth, Dr. Sok gives very honest opinions. For instance, my former dentist would tell me that I need many fillings done and that they were really pushing me to get the most expensive filling, whereas Dr. Sok took a look at the same, and told me that there's an issue, but not so serious and that we will just see over time if i really need something (and i haven't needed anything for a couple of years, and doing just fine) I went to her new office in Great Falls in December 2012 for a routine cleaning and check up, and the office is really nice with all brand new equipments and everything! If you want a dentist that's knowledgable, honest, and actually cares for patients, I highly, HIGHLY recommend Dr. Sok! :) read more

Great staff! Very nice and caring people! Great service for everyone. 5 stars would come here for the rest of my days!!!

Update: had a (non-impacted) wisdom tooth pulled here. last time i had a tooth pulled was about 20 years ago and it left me with some horrible memories. needless to say i was a bit nervous for this wisdom tooth that needed to be removed. i was more than adequately numbed for the whole procedure, Dr. Sok asked frequently if i felt any pain. after a few minutes of loosening, the tooth eventually just came out with ease. i was given very good detailed post-procedure instructions along with a baggie of gauze to help with the bleeding. just had my 1-week check up and things are looking great! couldn't be more pleased with picking Dr. Sok, Dr. Pham and their office! read more

Dr. Sok provides excellent dental service. She is very knowledgeable, experienced, trustworthy, gentle, and is fully committed in making sure your teeth will be or remain in great condition! She is also excellent with kids. My 4 year old daughter loves her and looks forward to visits with her. read more

I came to this doctor when they were in Fairfax and LOVED them. Dr. Sok is second to none. However they need to re-evaluate their front staff. Being the face of the business the interaction I had with the woman (actually pictured in the first photo on this yelp page) left a lot to be desired. I had called before hand letting them know I would be late. When I arrived I gave her my insurance card as well as ID, filled out the necessary paperwork and waited. She proceeded to call my primary insurance - who then told her they only covered "accidental" dental needs. Which to my surprise (since I pay every month for dental) made no sense. She then asked if I was under another insurance and I said no I don't believe so, she then proceeded to ask me if I wanted to do their new patient deal for $189 or something like that and I said no because I know I have insurance I'll have to figure it out. Now what's astonishing is, they have the capability to look you up by your name and SSN to find your insurance, which she didn't offer to do. Also, as I'm leaving, she made sure to say "give us a call when you get insurance!". Anyone would have taken that the wrong way. Considering how far I drove, and me taking off work for this appointment I would have expected a little more effort on your companies end. Like I said before, the doctor is great, the front staff however - this review is for you. Learn customer service, you're not a doctor, so learning how to interact properly with customers shouldn't be surgery, right? read more

I recently moved to Reston from Arlington and knew I was due for a check-up at the dentist. I can easily say that going to the dentist is my least favorite thing, so it certainly wasn't on the top of my list of things to do. I received a mailer from Great Falls Family Dentistry and after reading other Yelper reviews- I decided to try them. Dr. Sok was still on maternity leave so her husband, Dr. Pham took care of me. He is by far the best dentist I have ever had. He was gentle, knowledgeable, and relatable. The facility is clean and all of the equipment seems state of the art- the chairs even have massagers! Such a great experience, I highly recommend their practice. read more
