I started coming to Smile Designer over a year ago when I moved to the area and am so glad I found this place! The office managers, hygienists, and dentists are wonderful and provide great care to their patients. When I needed some major dental work last year, they were thoughtful about making sure I knew everything about the procedure and understood exactly how much money I'd be charged out of pocket after applying my insurance. Additionally, their practice is very modern and they seem to use the latest procedures and equipment so I always feel comfortable. I just scheduled my next cleaning and will be coming here as long as I'm in the area!! read more

As a woman of a "certain" age, I was thinking it was too late to correct my smile. But I decided it is never too late to be my best self, so I embarked on the journey with Invisalign. It was a commitment, but the care, expertise and direction I received here was phenomenal! Clear plans and explanations were given EVERY step of the way!! The staff is professional, the office is immaculate and my appointments were timely. I just received my retainer yesterday and my smile is better than ANYTHING I could have imagined! read more

Dr. Casey and the staff are amazing. I've been here for 3 visits since 2021 and each one has exceeded expectations. Cleanings are super thorough, and I just had a filling replaced in under an hour with no pain. I will keep coming here as long as I live in the area. I have Delta dental insurance and they accept it, for reference. read more

They clean your teeth quickly and thoroughly. Dr. Casey is the best. His bedside manner is great. He doesn't oversell you on things like all other young dentists seem to do. I had a filling fall out and he managed to see me the next day after staff previously told me it would take at least three weeks. I suspect he worked through his lunch for me. He did a great job on the filing. Didn't feel it at all. read more

Dr. Ahn is a phenomenal orthodontist, who helps you find the perfect treatment and results. Dr. Yahya is so caring and will take the time to discuss any concerns or questions you may have. The pride they have in their work truly shows. The entire staff at Smile Designer makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. The office is pristine, and the friendly atmosphere makes a trip to the dentist an enjoyable experience. read more

Smile Designer - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I went to 2 other locations closer to home but found Smile Designer online. I needed to have gum surgery done due to receding gums on my lower jaw. I was Very apprehensive about having this procedure done, but after meeting Dr. Han & his very caring staff, I knew I was in Good Hands. Dr. Han performed my surgery & even though it is a tough surgery I did really well. I just had my 6 month (& final appt) last week. My results are amazing! Dr. Han is Very knowledgeable, caring & compassionate. (I had a registered dental assistant license years ago so I am very aware of professional offices & staff). Dr. Han and his staff are the Best in the Biz (in my opinion)... I was always greeting warmly and taken very good care of while in the care. If you need dental work I Urge you to see Dr. Han (his practice was also much less than the other offices were for the same procedure) I am not saying less is Best but I am saying you will receive the BEST care possible at this office! read more

I think these guys are probably fine for a basic cleaning. However, I just switched dentists due to insurance and it turns out a cavity that Smile Designer filled not two years ago was done poorly and was already starting to decay again, requiring me to get it fixed. Also had some other issues with my teeth that came to light (severe teeth grinding wearing them down) that none of the dentists I saw at the office ever noticed or pointed out. They're very nice but not the best. read more

Doctor Fadi Saleh is an absolutely wonderful and professional orthodontist. We recently moved to the area from Germany where our kid started with her braces, and he's the only orthodontist the family (mom, dad and our kid with braces) felt comfortable with after four different consultations! They even changed our daughter's whole elastic chain thing on both upper and lower and gave her a new braces dental kit with the little brushes and all! Meanwhile, all four orthodontists that we met with before we found Dr. Saleh, were more concerned with payment, insurance coverage and signing disclosures! Additionally, his receptionist Olivia is a lovely person and so is the assistant (forgot her name). Overall, wonderful staff and experience. Additionally, we went with the Orthodontist doctor Saleh recommended for our daughter's case and we're pretty happy. Thanks again. read more

Where do I begin. I moved here back in 2007 and was in need of a new dentist. I did some research and came across a place very close to my house. It was Ballston Metro Dental, located in Arlington (Ballston). My Doctor was Dr. Saleh. She was the best! The cleaning part and the reception was okay, but Dr. Saleh really made me stick as a client. So when I went for my regular 6 month cleaning, I was greeted by a new doctor. He ended up telling me I needed all of this work done. Long story short, Dr. Saleh left. I did a little bit of research and found her again. She opened up her own practice located in Rossyln (Arlington) right next to the metro. All I can say is awesome customer service!!!! She as well as her staff truly care and you will be well taken care of. I did in fact need work on my teeth, but not as much as the last doctor had quoted. Dr. Saleh told me everything I needed, and was very reasonable in price. To sum up everything she did an amazing job!!!! I am so happy with my teeth. She replaced three crowns, and they look perfect! I will post some pictures up when I get a chance. If you're looking for a dentist that has everything from great service, great work and are true professionals look no further. Setup an appointment, you wont' be disappointed. read more

Time for an update of the update. Dr. Saleh tried to call me from Lebanon the day after my last update, but unfortunately the connection was not one of the best. Nevertheless, we had an interesting exchange of emails, where she provided a clear and detailed explanation. Needless to say, I truly appreciated her explanation and the apologies. I have been assured that they will inform their patients about the recent changes. This practice has always been extremely attentive, so I am very pleased about the outcome. This does not excuse issues we have had with the new dentist (why doesn't he take his mask off when speaking with patients? My wife can't recall having a conversation with him without his mask). We look forward to having Dr. Saleh back in the office. read more

I've been going to this place for the past three years and today was my last appointment. They've been my favorite dentists by far and I will miss them when I move. The office is clean and beautifully decorated. They are very responsive to online appointment requests and will email you to confirm and text you a reminder too. While they usually run on time, they were about half an hour behind today. I was told their hygienist wasn't feeling well and the dentist was doing all the cleaning himself. The exams are quite painless and gentle. You get a cute little toothbrush kit at the end. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. read more

I've only ever had basic cleanings here, but they've always done a great job, never made me wait, and are completely lovely (front desk, hygenist, and dentist are all very friendly). Plus, I love the little toothbrush travel pouch they give you-- mini toothpaste costs AT LEAST $1.00 at CVS so I count that a total dentistry win. read more

I've been a patient since 2012(?) I think. So before the new owner transitions from Dr. Saleh to Dr. Han. While I was fine with how things were before, now it's actually GREAT. All the good stuff carried over with the transition. The space is still super clean, the administrative team is great, online appointment booking is still in effect, flexible appointment scheduling and reminders, and full summary printouts post-visit. The new dental assistants and doctors are where I see the real difference. Everyone is really upbeat, friendly, and professional. You can feel the difference in the atmosphere. Not that the prior team was awful, everyone just seems really happy now. It's that difference when someone says hello and asks you how you are just because versus someone who means it. And I hate anything mouth/teeth related. I can't watch movies, I hate imagining injuries, I've had nightmares about teeth. Only in the last 5 years have I really committed to regular visits. I thought I was going to vomit/pass out during my wisdom teeth removal (YES, I KNOW IT'S LATE AND I'M OLD). I was shaking the entire time and internally I was in shambles. Dr. Han was so patient and reassured me that I wasn't gushing blood and guts everywhere. His assistant (I need to get her name) was so nice and offered to hold my hand, I declined based on the fact that I would've crushed her hand and at this point, my hands were clasped white-knuckle, pushed into my stomach. I somehow believed that I had to keep myself "in" and compacted as much as possible or the world would end. I should mention they offered me a blanket and was tucked in from head to toe because I thought I was dying . I'm sorry I was so difficult. Everything ended well - vomit-free. Everyone go here :D #pleaseacceptmyinsuranceforever read more

The team here is just fabulous! I suffer with a bit of anxiety about going to the dentist and they were amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

I really appreciate my Dentists here! They take care of you in a thorough way by offering courteous service, caring staff and multiple options for various dental and orthodontist needs. read more

Suddenly a tooth! June 2018 Dr. Daniel Han is a perfectionist. His objective: that you are satisfied with your procedure. In my case a much-needed implant. [My back story is long--I will not bore you]. The process was carefully explained down to the healing time with precise methodology. The road was long, but worth the travel. After too many years of unsuccessful dentistry (from another dental practitioner), I suddenly have a tooth, and I am pleased with the outcome. Thank you, Dr. Han. In my opinion, you are simply the best. read more

Dr. Yahya was great! I scheduled my appointment here for a regular cleaning and some minor concerns and she took the time to go through my history. She asked questions about my concerns and clearly explained possible causes and what she could do to help address them. During the exam she also pointed out what looked good and what to keep an eye on. She did NOT push any products or services - in fact she said to keep an eye on these but no action necessary at this moment. After the cleaning my teeth feel great and super clean. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Saleh's but was informed in August that she was on bed rest in Lebanon. That seemed very strange to me, but I didn't want to pry since bed rest usually indicates something serious. I saw another dentist, whose name I don't remember, who was very forceful. Sort of the stereotype of a bad dentist (in my opinion) where they try to frighten you into all sorts of services. Even after I explained to him that Dr. Saleh and I had discussed my issues and worked out a prioritized plan in order to maximize my insurance, he was still insistent. I reached out again in November to ask if there was any sort of timeline for Dr. Saleh's return and got zero response from the receptionist, who is usually super nice and attentive. On top of everything else, I've been researching the cost for some of the procedures I have had, and it looks as if Smile Designer is significantly more expensive than other dental providers in the area. I'll be choosing another dentist. read more

Dr. Saleh and her staff at Smile Designer are truly a rare find these days. Not only do they provide an exceptional patient experience, but they also possess a level of integrity where they don't push unnecessary treatments upon the patient. Ultimately, I have been going to Dr. Saleh for a few years now and I couldn't be happier. Please do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment to see for yourself. read more

After posting this review, they went out of their way to make sure I was taken care of - which I really really appreciate. They pride themselves in customer service and I really do respect that. Be sure to check them out to experience it yourself. You will definitely be taken care of because they really to walk the talk of customer service. Great place! read more

Simply put, this place provided me with the best medical service I have ever received in my whole life. A little context: I HATE going to the dentist- and I have been to dentists across 3 continents, and all up and down the east coast. I came here to have a wisdom tooth extracted, and was so scared, I was shaking and sick to my stomach. I had heard dozens of horror stories about other people's experiences with this procedure. My experience: I arrived late. They still saw me right away. Front desk, the dental assistant (Shaneka), and the dentist ( Dr. Lakkis) were all extremely pleasant. They basically babied me through the whole experience. I expected this to take an hour. Start to finish, it took Dr.Lakkis about 3 minutes. When she told me it was done, I asked to see the tooth, because I didn't believe her- because I literally did not feel even a pinch of pain. And I was so scared, I held Shaneka's hand and later realized I had squeezed it hard enough to leave nail marks :( She didn't complain once. Best of all, I paid $0 for the whole thing because a family member's insurance had overpaid them for his last visit, and they let him use that extra credit to cover my procedure. I even got a goody bag when I left. I'm still in disbelief. When I walked out, I was shaking and tearing up from the adrenaline rush. This place is so amazing, it's ridiculous . read more

I have been going to Smile Designer for about 2 and half years. The office is always clean and organized and the staff is always friendly. Easy to make appointments online and the office uses text, email, and phone to remind of you appointments, make them, or change them, which makes it super easy if you are always on the run like me! would definitely recommend! read more

Had a great experience! Dr. Saleh is an excellent dentist. i went in for a cleaning and two fillings and she was able to get the job done perfectly well on the very same day. Also, she's always ready to answer all my questions and takes time to explain procedures in detail. The wait was under 5 minutes and the staff is extremely friendly. Keep up the good work! read more

Service was excellent from start to finish. Found this place on ZocDoc and would highly recommend. The dental technician was sweet and quick, Fred at the front desk was so friendly and efficient that I almost wanted to ask him to happy hour. I was lucky to see Dr. Fadi who gave a great explanation about the differences between invisalign and braces. He is only there on Wednesdays so I am glad he saw me for a consultation. The only negative thing I have to say is that I scheduled an appointment with a specific dentist through ZocDoc but wasn't seen by her. I had researched her very well and wanted a specific person but the person who saw me was all right. Fred said it is best to make appointments directly through the office so that you are sure to get the person you want to see. read more

The best dental hygienist in the business works here, the dentists are incredible, and the staff could not be friendlier. 10/10; would recommend! read more

Terrific first visit a couple of months ago! Friendly staff. Gentle but thorough cleaning. Great experience. I'm so glad I found this dentist near my home read more

So after my last review, I received an email from the new management. They took the time to address my issues, and assured me that there were only two dentists now at the office so it won't be a different dentist each time. I said I would give them another try because it really meant a lot to see how much they wanted to make it right. I really appreciated it. They didn't have me get any work done, so I can't say anything about the costs but it seems off to a better start. Everyone was super friendly and I really like Dr. saleh. I'm glad to see that management is working to turn this place around because I really liked the hygienists and one of the dentists saw. The hygienist I saw made my appointment as about as fun as a cleaning can be and I really liked how quick and efficient she was. The dentist I saw that caused me pain is no longer working at smile designer. They really are trying to clean up the practice and offer the best level of care. They won me back. Give them a try; the new management is great! read more

Smile Designer is an excellant dentistry serving the Metropolitan area. The customer service and quality of work is outstanding. The dentist and orthodontist are knowledgeable and willing to answer questions concerning their patients. read more

I've been a client at Smile Designer (Arlington Location) for the past 2 years (maybe a little more) and I always enjoy my services. Between Evelyn, Olivia to Dr. Han, Dr. Ahn and Dr. Saleh; I'm always impressed by the quality of work that's done by this office. Dr. Han managed to pull out a cracked wisdom tooth that was semi impacted along with another wisdom tooth without causing 0 pain! Dr. Saleh managed to do a root canal along with filling two cavities - still, no pain! Currently, I am going through my Invisalign treatments with Dr. Ahn and everything is going great! I can't rave on about this office! This has become my primary dentist office for everything! read more

Very clean and professional environment. Setting up appointments and making sure my insurance is acceptable was a breeze. Knowledge staff. World recommend. read more

I am so pleased to have a dentist who doesn't try to fix things that aren't necessarily broken, but is content to monitor my teeth and prioritize treatment needs. I've been going to Smile Designer for about 7 years now, and am always pleased with their professionalism and good service. read more

Pretty good experience here. Came in a couple of weeks ago for a cleanup and checkup. The cleanup went relatively smoothly, I waited about 5 mins, filled out my forms and was on the chair. Cleaning was quick, efficient, and pretty gentle. She informed me I wasn't flossing correctly, and showed me how. She also recommended a new toothpaste for my sensitive teeth and I have to say, I have already started to feel the difference already. Overall, great experience, comfortable and upscale environment. read more

This is a wonderful office! I hate going to the dentist, but these guys are all extremely professional, friendly, and helpful. They really care about their patients and their teeth. The dentist really takes his time to get to know you and plan out the best plan to get your teeth back on track. It's a small, but clean and modern office The receptionist, hygienists, and dentists are great and make you feel very comfortable. read more

Went here for a few years as it was easy to get to from work. Never really cared for the place, and always felt "meh" about it. I guess this is what you get for going somewhere out of convenience. Finally I had a filling done, that ended up being a botched job, had to get a root canal and had a 2nd opinion where they told me that the filling that was done at Smile Designer was "sloppy"... No longer a client of theirs, and now paying a LOT of my own money out of pocket to fix the "work" they did on my teeth. Do NOT go here... I never had problems with my teeth until I started coming to this place..... read more

While the staff was friendly the office felt unprofessional and cheap. Ikea like plastic furnature, no coat rack, no water available while u wait. In the exam room everything from the chair to the cheesy ceiling painting felt low budget, i dont like feeling like i'm a discount dentist. The whole feel of the place makes me nervous to even have serious work done. To top things off the fire alarm went off 3-4 times during my cleaning. I'll definately be checking out some different offices in the area for something that fits me better. read more

Really enjoyed my visit. Dental hygienist was thorough and knowledgeable. The office was beautiful and inviting. Love the early Friday hours. Very convenient. read more

My husband and I have been so pleased with the personalized service we have received at the Crystal City location. Olivia is the sweetest person who goes out of her way to make you feel welcome and accommodates your scheduling needs. Dr. Dahman listen to you, very personable and has a great sense of humor. I have experienced 0pain while visiting and feel the prices and services are reasonable. I recommend this practice to anyone looking for great, personalized dental care. read more

If you hate visiting the dentist, this is the right place. The ladies are super nice, the care is fast and their perfectionism is endless. Both thumbs up. read more

I've been incredibly impressed with Smile Designer and Dr. Saleh. The office is always clean, the reception staff is friendly and helpful and appointment scheduling is easy. The dental care I've received has been top notch and I was pleased enough with my basic dental care to proceed with having dental bonding preformed to whiten my teeth. I'm so glad I did this procedure - I didn't realize how bad my teeth looked before Dr. Saleh showed me the close up pictures of my old teeth. Now my teeth look natural and healthy. Assuming your dental insurance is accepted there's no reason to go to another dentist (they even make parking easy by arranging with the Holiday Inn to allow patients to park there during appointments). read more

I had all four wisdom teeth removed yesterday - I won't say it was fun or even a neutral experience, but the care, bedside manner, and actual extraction were excellent. For something as uncomfortable and unnerving as having four molars removed, I left the office with a confidence in my doctors that I think is rare. Dr. Lakkis took time to explain everything to me before, during, and after the procedure. She regularly asked about any pain, and I was completely aware that the appointment would go as I wanted, if that meant one, two, three, or four extractions. I'm glad it is over, and I'm really glad I chose to have Smile Designers do the procedure! read more
