This is really strange. Most of my reviews are of bars or restaurants, maybe a few services here…read moreand there like mechanics or computer repair, but never would I ever imagine reviewing a dentist yet somehow I feel really compelled to discuss a recent visit I had to Dr. Nguyen. It all started at a pig roast I went to some time ago. A traditional pig roast is a whole hog affair where a pig is roasted for hours on end yielding super tender meat, and super crispy skin. The cracklins are the best part of the roast, or at least so I thought. I bit right into one, and it was so hard that it literally fractured a tooth of mine. Just split the sucker right in half. I'd never seen or even heard of anything like that happening before. I couldn't believe what happened. I obviously had to get it repaired, but I didn't even know where to start. I had just moved to the NoVA area, and was in need of a dentist. A family friend referred me to Dr. Nguyen, and the reviews seemed pretty favorable, so I gave him a shot. Boy was I glad I did. Dr. Nguyen was able to repair the tooth. He bonded it back together rather easily; no pain at all. He explained everything to me clearly of what happened, and that what had actually happened was that the previous dentist who worked on the tooth did a poor job of a filling which caused the tooth to crack on the inside, all it needed was something hard to cause it to shear (the cracklins). Dental Insurance covered everything, and all told the procedure as well as paperwork were both painless. I've returned to Dr. Nguyen every three months for cleanings, and while he's a great dentist, he's honestly just a great person in general. Funny guy to talk to, and definitely makes going to the dentist a pretty decent experience. Highly recommended if you live in NoVA.

They both have a great sense of humor (I always leave with a smile) after several laughs with Dr. Christine catching up on our lives and the places we've eaten since we're both foodies!

I made said "trek," initially, after receiving a referral from a friend. Then from another friend. And then another. I finally caved THIS year after my current employer switched to a new dental insurer (effective January 01). I was personally motivated and somewhat reminded to get back into the twice-yearly-cycle of having my teeth cleaned and examined. Admittedly, It has been YEARSSSSS. As a new patient, I called in advance to ensure they took my insurance and had appointments available, opening most days at 7AM. I immediately noticed the receptionist was attentive and patient with both my questions as well as my limited availability during the work week. Great sign. Upon arrival, new patient paperwork is effortlessly efficient and found upon laminated forms. Genius (and green)! Furthermore, waiting room atmosphere reminded me less of a doctor/dentist office with their typical scattered/tattered magazines, uncomfortable bench seating and cold receptionists by, instead, having friendly/personable staff, plush/lounge-like chairs and complimentary coffee to boot. I honestly didn't miss my go-to Highlights since I was called back once the paperwork was finished. The dental examination/cleaning was relatively standard but key takeaways here: *immediate, X-Ray taking and then examination breakdown *state-of-the-art, mini-camera teeth picture taking and review (this was seriously the coolest) *thorough/persistent hygienist (Annie) - ex: dental tape kept ripping in between a tooth pair but KEPT at it with a smile, jokes and all *dentist (Dr. Hopkins) was hospitable, easy going and professional upon introduction and throughout final examination, review and dental consultation In and out of the dentist office left me leaving with a polished smile, relief I'd found my new dentist and the hindsight I might should listen to my friends more. At least, I'll be reminded every 6 months that is...

I have high pain tolerance too, and always give people the benefit of the doubt, but this was wayy too painful. They continued to do the same process for 3 more shots even though I explained that it hurt. Then after filling my cavity, they asked me if it felt right and I had to tell them that "the filling is way too much that when i bite down it doesn't even close all the way". After my advice, then they started to shave it down. (Dr. Simona Naik) Also, when I asked a question about wisdom teeth removal process, the dentist said "I think I would know what's best for you since I actually have a degree". (Dr. Taimour Raja). I transferred to OakTree Dental in Ashburn which has better service that made me realize how bad iSmile is. iSmile is literally only trying to get as much money from people as possible. I went to 4 different appointments here and only because of location. Making the switch was the best decision I have done and shouldve done it much earlier

He will definitely let the kids know if they need to do a better job brushing or flossing and he doesn't try to coddle them in that manner but is very direct about it (but not rude in my opinion) He's good at explaining to me what is going on and what needs to be done as well.

Sharing another review on another procedure I had done (Invisalign and Crown)…read more I had a rare case with my front tooth (it broke in half at 12 years old) and I've had a bond on it for about 10 years... it's truly amazing how it was able to hold up that long. However, it has definitely been way over due that I needed a crown to replace it. Dr. Nguyen was the one who bonded my original front tooth, so he knew very well about the history behind it. Naturally, I trusted him to take care of my crown. The process was so seamless and the color matched PERFECTLY with all my other teeth. He really cares about his patient's happiness - I can't tell you how many times he kept saying he would do all that he can to get it to match the right color (even if it took several visits which luckily it only took one!) As far as my invisalign treatment, he also was very thorough in telling me how to take care of it during the process. I wore it for about 18 months and I am extremely happy with my results and now can't stop smiling! I have reviewed Dr. Nguyen before, and I am happy to do so again. I have never left disappointed. You best bet you can trust Dr. Nguyen for any dental concerns! He has his best interest in his patients and wants to make sure you walk out that door happy. If not, he'll do everything he can to make sure that you do.
