Lots of things to like about L'Enfant Plaza Dental Arts…read more *Great dentist (I saw Dr. Azeez) and dental hygienists - which is the most important thing, of course. *Convenient location - right in L'Enfant Plaza above the L'Enfant Metro stop (you don't even have to step outside!) *Easy to schedule appointments *Clean and inviting modern office I felt the team cared about my teeth and my dental health, and not just that I was another patient they were churning through. The office staff was friendly and helpful as well - they were great about reminding me of my appointment and making sure I could find the office (the elevators are near the USPS location in L'Enfant Plaza - there are different wings but their wing has a sign pointing you to the right elevator bank). After living for several years in DC and going to different dentists, I'm glad to find a permanent practice that I feel very good about!

L'Enfant is by far my favorite dental office to date. I have had really awful, horrible experiences…read morewith dentists in the past, so I had always dreaded going to get my teeth checked. But since finding these guys, my view on going to the dentist has done a complete 180. The entire staff is SO sweet and friendly. They provide an excellent service that makes me feel comfortable and at ease. I absolutely recommend them!!

Be aware. Dr. Reid will do unauthorized work on you without telling you what she is doing or why…read more Also, I went in for a cleaning only and was told there was a problem with my x-ray the last time I was there, which she never mentioned at the time. I questioned her, and she said oh yes, there was an issue, but I was never told. She did the x-ray, and within one second she said oh it's OK, and then went out quickly in front of me to check out, to whisper to the receptionist to add that x-ray. Which I heard. I did not need that x-ray, and she lied to me. All she is interested in is making money.

I selected Dr. Reid over 2 years ago. At that time she was someone who presented herself as someone…read morewith integrity. someone you can trust. My opinion of this practice has plummeted! When you treat patients with care they will stay. when you earn the trust of your patients....don't break it! and, they will stay! your lack of professionalism and greed is seen and I believe it! If you're a person of color, particularly a woman of color, I would not recommend this dentist. Dr. Reid and her associate Dr. Li care about making money not the patient. Dr. Reid sent xray images to my new dentist that were unreadable! Doctors are required to provide X-rays that are readable that will allow the next doctor to treat you effectively. So petty....but I have insurance and looking forward to working with a doctor who makes $$ by caring for their patients not their wallet! you are such a disappointment Dr. Reid!

Not surprisingly the issues continue. 9 months after my procedure I start receiving text messages…read moreand mail saying I owe $190 from my "recent procedure". I had already recieved statements months ago from my insurance and Elite Dentistry showing I dont owe $190 dollars. In fact, comparing the two statements shows the Elite Dentistry owes me. I called the office and presented the facts. The representative immediately began back peddling. Based on everything I have experience I have no reason to believe this wasnt a money grab. BTW Elite Dentistry you owe me $97.40.

I hate to leave bad reviews, but dental work is too costly, invasive, and potentially painful to…read morenot put this out there (in addition to the current difficulty getting an emergency appointment during the coronavirus crisis). Dr. Roberts, Paige and the rest of the staff are very friendly and professional, but we experienced painful and costly experiences with them. I had a crown put on a broken tooth in February 2017 by Dr. Roberts and by May 2017 I experienced severe problems with the work that he did (bite was off, pain upon impact with other teeth and temperature sensitivity). I had to take ibuprofen multiple times per day to function. I tried to work with Dr. Roberts to have this fixed, but I ultimately ended up needing to go to another dentist to have the crown sawed off and have a root canal done and another crown put on. At that point I ceased to be a patient of Dr. Roberts. My husband stuck with Dr. Roberts and had a similar experience to another commenter when Dr. Roberts told him that he needed to have a cracked tooth repaired in late 2018. His tooth had been cracked since high school and never caused him any problems. Dr. Roberts filled the tooth and the filling fell out a few months later in May 2019 and he was in a lot of pain. He went back to Dr. Roberts, who then installed a crown. My husband has been in pain ever since then. He went back to Dr. Roberts, who removed cement around the crown, but he continues to be in pain now and has to take ibuprofen multiple times per day to function. Now we are having a lot of trouble finding an emergency dentist. Also as others mentioned, we were told to do the deep scaling as well (my husband did it, I did not).

Like one of the reviews below, I would warn any patient to get a second opinion before any…read moreprocedures with Dr Roberts. I had a great first experience having a cleaning with Dr Roberts in 2014, so I naively listened to him about a supposedly bad crack in a left bottom molar that needed to be repaired by an onlay. I truly regret not getting a second opinion as this has been costly and painful over the last several years. The procedure was not well explained to me, was not really covered by my insurance, and I have had many follow up problems as the onlay has impacted my bite and led to intensifying TMJ and pain. When I consulted a dentist recently in NYC about why my TMJ keeps worsening, she told me that this is due to the onlay which is too high and actually coming off of my tooth at this point after just 4.5 years - they are supposed to last for more than 10 to 15 years from everything I have heard/read! I now believe this was not the right solution at all, and I would have avoided years of pain if I had simply consulted another dentist.

At one time I would have given the Ingber Dental Group the highest rating possible, but today I…read morehave to give them the lowest. For the third time in a row the office has called to cancel my cleaning the week of my appointment. Each time there is a poor excuse and they could care less that they don't have another appointment time to fit my schedule.

My cleaning was performed by the hygienist, not by the Dr. The hygienist spends a lot of time in…read morechit-chat and does not tell that you entered the room for a regular cleaning and your instead getting a "full mouth debridal" (or whatever was the exact name), which is billed as a different service, and for which you insurance might or might not cover you. She just goes ahead without making 100% clear that you went in to get "A" and you are going to get "B". They also have severely messed up my bill and try to blame it on me, while the mistake was theirs, since they just failed to put the name of the doctor that I have seen and they billed as if I had seen Dr. Ingber instead of Porvaznik. Well done! it took months to have them and the insurance to agree to fix this mistake. I would not return there, never ever again.

GOOD: It's a very sharp practice, with friendly staff,…read morehighly competent doctors, and hi-tech facilities. They have an on-site dental lab where they can make crowns and such. BAD: WAAAAY overpriced. I was quoted $2,200 for a single onlay with no help from insurance apparently. I think it's a premium practice; platinum dentistry at platinum prices.

I'm going to post this review for both District Smiles and Mint Dental, since they're two locations…read moreof the same business and dentists work at both locations. First, the people who work here are really, really nice which is why I had been willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. But their scheduling, business, and billing practices have made it so I never ever want to go back. In July, I went in for a checkup and was told that I needed a crown replacement. The crown didn't hurt and I was preparing for an extended trip and super busy but they assured me that they had a new procedure in which they take off the old crown, scan the tooth, and then 3-D print the permanent crown and install it *all in the same day*. Cool, right? EXCEPT, day of, they....couldn't work the scanner. Not that the scanner was broken (had them confirm this in the aftermath, while trying to figure out what went wrong and who was at fault)--The people that the practice had scheduled to work the procedure could not figure out how to use it--they spent what seemed like hours trying to scan my mouth (this sucked, by the way, and hurt) and produced such a giant file that it wouldn't upload to the 3-D printer. So, after hours of waiting, they slapped on a (badly placed) temp crown, and sent me on my way to come back and do they whole thing again a week later--this time with Dr. Kassem, who might be the only person in the practice who knows how to work the machine. But you know what? Even after all of that, I went back and had a filling done a week later--they were that nice! The filling, and the crown, once it was in, have been fine: this is not a review of the actual dentistry, only how they run the business. I've been burned--badly--by dentist/insurance stuff before, so I made sure that they preauthorized the procedure with my insurance and asked for a guarantee that the quoted and billed price would be the final. I was assured that it was, and assumed my balance was zero. This week, *six months later*, I got--via email, totally without explanation---a random link to a bill for $34. I couldn't even log in to see what it was for (their billing software is pretty janky and doesn't look secure--I thought it was spam at first) so I called them and, very nicely, they told me that insurance had not covered one part of the procedure (which may have been their fault, actually) and very nicely asked me to pay the balance. After all of that, and over $34, I lost it. It may be petty of me, but it's also petty (and possibly unethical) of them, especially since the procedure itself was a nightmare. Why would they wait so long to bill me, without any explanation, over a botched procedure, and renegging on their guarantee of up-front pricing? And then, even after I questioned them about this, why would they double down, especially given that they had been at fault? It felt like a shakedown, honestly. I paid it, but i will never, ever, ever go back again, no matter how nice--$34 this time could be $340 (or hell, $3400) next time, and I'm not taking any chances. So, the actual dentistry is fine (ultimately), the people are great, but practices--in multiple ways--are sloppy enough to give me pause. I need a dental practice I can trust, and this ain't it.

Dr. Cieplak is, hands down, the best dentist I've ever been to! And his staff were fantastic too…read more His dental assistant was professional and treated me like she really cared about my health. Dr. Cieplak was just amazing. He explained my problem in a straightforward way I could understand and then proposed a fix that suited my needs perfectly. His fees were very fair as well.

I visited the office in Oxon Hill due to intensive wisdom tooth pain. When arrived, I was greeted…read moreby his dental assistant ( she was super sweet and nice. she talked me through my anxiety, and stayed by my side ) Dr. Cieplak walked inside room, I shared with him that I suffer from dental anxiety. Instead of speaking encouraging words and giving reassurance, he only bragged about his awards and told me the treatment that I needed was a "small fry" to him and either I get it done or I don't. The nice dental assistant told me that they offered mild sedation in their LaPlata office if I would opt to go there! Once I arrived at the LaPlata office, I sat in my car until it was my turn to go in. (COVID policy) As I got inside the exam room, the dental hygienist and another dental assistant came in. No introduction or anything. She leaned my chair back and told me to open my mouth so I can get a cleaning. As she started my teeth, she had a series of coughs, non stop. It was only until I moved my head that she got up and continued to cough outside the exam room. When she came back in, she proceeeded to finish with the same exact cough. I then tilted my head again, and she removed herself. ( as a hygienist, who thinks it's okay to cough repeatedly while someone mouth is open and you guys are face to face ) Once finished, a new dentist came inside and examined my mouth to create my dental plan. As she was examining my mouth, she kept asking a series of questions and instead of allowing me to answer, she just answered for me and kept on moving. When I received my dental plan, I asked about sedation. ( the only reason why I came to LaPlata ) I was then told that I would have to get EVERYTHING done on my dental treatment (which was only fill-ins and wisdom teeth removal). I told them I was unable to afford the $7,000 bill they gave me. Could I only get my wisdom teeth removed as that was the reason I came to see a dentist. I was once again told that it was either I get all the treatment plan done or nothing. When asked why, it was stated that it's his practice he does whatever he wants. I asked what about the patients who have anxiety, and can't even sit still once the noise of the drill comes on, I was told to find another dentist. I WILL NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRACTICE TO ANYONE WHO SUFFERS FROM DENTAL ANXIETY OR DOESN'T HAVE A TON OF MONEY SITTING AROUND TO SPEND IMMEDIATELY
