For years, I lived with the insecurity of a noticeable gap in my teeth. After enduring the same disheartening experience at three different dentists, where they pushed extensive and costly veneer treatments, I felt disheartened and trapped. Each visit followed a predictable script: an examination, a glossy photo highlighting every dental imperfection, and a hefty quote for a full-mouth veneer overhaul, disguised as a "discounted" offer. Feeling like I had no other options, I was relieved when Dr. Kravitz recommended Dr. Bunin. From the moment I walked into Dr. Bunin's office, I sensed a refreshing honesty and transparency. Instead of pushing unnecessary treatments, Dr. Bunin listened attentively to my concerns and desires. He was the first dentist to offer me a quote for just two veneers, along with a comprehensive plan to improve the appearance of my other teeth with composite bonding. Dr. Bunin's meticulous attention to detail was evident in the custom coloring of the veneers, perfectly matching my natural teeth. He skillfully transformed my smile while respecting my budget, all for less than I expected to pay. I cannot express enough gratitude for Dr. Bunin's honesty, expertise, and affordability. If you're seeking a dentist who truly listens and delivers exceptional care, look no further than Dr. Bunin. read more

Our family has been going to Callahan Dental for 9 years. They are the best Dentist(S) and staff in the entire D.C./Md/Va area. As a dental hygienist(actively practiced for 13 years) I have many concerns for the Dentist testing my family. Dr.'s Paul, Karen and staff are the most professional, kind, caring informative. Office around. The sterliziation procedures are spectacular and the expert cosmetic dentistry is impeccable! Our 8 year old chipped a front tooth this weekend. I called this morning and Dr. Paul saw her right away. He examined, x-rayed( with star of the art radiological equipment(lowest amount of radiation), gave us a diagnosis that was what this concerned Mom wanted to hear, and repaired the chip on the front tooth with a white filling material. First of all, he explained(and his assistant Penny was amazing explaining every step) every detail of the procedure. Which I might add he did without the need of local anesthesia!!! She said it felt like filing her finger nail! I can not recommend this dentist and staff enough! If you are looking for a dentist or just need a change of dentist because your current dentist is not keeping up with current dental procedures. Call Callahan Dental and make an appointment today! read more

Dr. Paul Callahan and his excellent staff have been providing me with quality dental care for over twenty years. I can't say enough about the friendly, courteous and professional attitude that exists in his office. I always feel like they take a personal interest in my dental health. Dr. Callahan actually takes the time to listen to my concerns and provides thoughtful feedback to all my questions. I especially like his long term proactive approach to dental care. A few years ago, I was nearing retirement and Dr. Callahan made several suggestions regarding potential long term dental issues that I may want to address while I still had dental insurance with my employer. His insightful suggestions probably saved me thousands in out of pocket expense later. If you want quality dental care in a friendly and caring atmosphere then this is where you want to be. Believe it or not, I actually look forward to visiting my dentist when I visit this office. It simply does not get any better than this. read more

Dr. Callahan's office is exceptionally efficient; you are never kept waiting for any appointment. The ladies at the front desk are very understanding and patient in scheduling your appointments. His hygienist, Tresa, is very skilled and gentle. She puts you at ease and makes very pleasant conversation. This is the lowest stress, highest skill dentistry you will ever experience.. My father and I have been going to Callahan Dental for the last 20 years and have never had a bad experience with Dr. Callahan's work. His skill with cosmetic dentistry persuaded me to have orthodontia for the 3rd time in my life, for 5 additional years, so that he could replace some poorly done work on my front teeth. I have never found any procedure painful and have never needed any of his work redone in 20 years. The practice is very ethical and does not charge for any unnecessary procedures or x-rays. I recommend this practice in all categories, without reservation. You will not be disappointed. read more

I couldn't wait to write a review after my excellent appointment with Dr. Bunin today. I was there for a crown replacement/prep (after seeing Dr. Bunin for several checkups that went great). The original crown was done by another dentist, and the process was so uncomfortable that I thought I'd need sedation dentistry in the future. But after thorough discussion with Dr. Bunin (and a lot of prayer!), I decided to trust him and proceed. He exceeded all expectations with his patience, kindness, and care in ensuring proper pain prevention throughout the procedure. I cannot recommend Dr. Bunin highly enough, including to patients who have had difficult experiences in the past (or who simply fear dental work). Let him know your concerns. His professionalism, integrity, and concern (not to mention overall friendliness!) make such a difference. Special thanks to Sonia, Penny, Teri, and the entire office too. read more

I cannot say enough about how great this practice is. I have always had problems with my teeth (many years of braces, retainers, extractions, root canals, you name it) and decided that I needed to get serious about my dental health & treatment. The quality of service is absolutely outstanding from cleanings to root canals. They helped me work the procedures I needed done around my budget, insurance, and schedule. Now that I've stuck with it and used the techniques and tips I've learned from them, my mouth & teeth are in the best condition of my life and instead of a flaw I now consider my smile one of my best features. They have definitely earned all the awards their practice has won. read more

Visited Dr. Callahan's office on 7/10/14, and had an excellent experience with Dr. Callahan and his staff. Everyone I met was very courteous and very professional. They pride themselves on not keeping their patients waiting, and I must have waited all of 5 minutes to be seen by the doctor, which was really nice :) Dr. Callahan was so reassuring and easy to talk to, and patiently addressed all of my concerns. Sonia, his Dental Assistant was very welcoming, and Business Coordinators Diane and Teri were so helpful in accommodating my insurance and scheduling concerns. I would definitely recommend this dentist to anyone looking for a top notch dental office! Andrea C. read more

Rick I. - I'm actually glad you posted on 4/29/2015. It brings to light how frustrated every dentist is with misunderstandings about dental insurance and the importance of reading and understanding your insurance manual. Dental insurance is not like medical insurance. Since the first of the year, we have had 2 office meetings where we practiced scripted responses to dental insurance questions to insure we don't mislead people. You criticized us, but you didn't post our offer to reduce the fees charged in an attempt to resolve a misunderstanding about your insurance. Regardless, my sincere apologies. - Paul W. Callahan, D.D.S. read more

Callahan Dental is absolutely wonderful! Everyone I have encountered was professional, skilled, efficient, and friendly. They have gone above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and provided me with outstanding service. I cannot say enough good things about them! Truly, they treat you more like a friend or family member, rather than just a patient. I would recommend Callahan Dental to anyone looking for exceptional dental service. I also LOVE their "on time" policy. I have never been kept waiting for longer than a minute or two in their waiting room. read more

If you are looking for a great dentist and dental experience look no further. Callahan Dental is the best. I have been going to them for 11+ years. Their staff is so friendly and Dr. Callahan is one of the best. The entire staff is super friendly, efficient and helpful. You are more then just another patient or number to them. If you are someone who has had previous bad experiences with other dentist because of "lectures" or just plain bad service/care you won't have these issues with Callahan Dental. I highly recommend them to you! :-) read more

Such an amazingly friendly dentist's office; everyone was super pleasant and willing to work with you on all your dental needs. I started going here when my best friend had a dental emergency and called to get in to see Dr. Bunin - he was at the hospital where his baby son was being born - and he still managed to come in that afternoon to help her out! Now both my husband and I are patients of Dr. Bunin, having put off going because we lost faith in our previous dentist. So happy with their work! read more

I have been using this practice for about 20 years and the staff only gets better. They are ALWAYS ready for me, greet me professionally but in a friendly manner, and remember details about me, my likes and dislikes. Dr. Paul always explains what will happen and what he finds in a manner that is clear and concise. My daughter has also been seeing him since she was old enough to need teeth cleaning and he and the staff treat her well also. I VERY highly recommend Callahan Dental. read more

Callahan Dental is a wonderful provider! My wife and I have been their patients for 10 years. We both feel the care is expert. The doctors Callahan make every effort to make the experience easy. Their staff is great, and very efficient. We are always taken on time and with a smile. We've always been accommodated when we've had an extraordinary need to see them. And they offer a very pleasant office environment. Callahan Dental couldn't be better! read more

I almost never write reviews but wanted to write one because my experience with Dr. Bunin was one of the best dental experiences I've ever had. Dr. Bunin fit me in on short notice for an emergency. He carefully walked me through alternative solutions in plain English (not medical jargon) - it definitely felt like talking to a friend. And most importantly, my tooth feels great. His staff was excellent too. I'd highly recommend Dr. Bunin. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Callahan for over 25 years! His entire team always makes you feel welcome and comfortable, second to none. Dr. Callahan's work is exceptional. I had a tooth that others recommended a root canal or extraction. On one of my very first visits he fixed that tooth with a filling and crown. I've never had a problem since. Have you heard the term "fix it and forget it"? Highly recommended!!!! read more

This is an outstanding dental practice, the best I've encountered in my 56 years. I first became a patient of Drs Paul and Karen Callahan in 1993, and I've been going to them twice a year since then--22 years--even though I moved away from Sterling and now live in Vienna. They and their staff have always been terrific--friendly, flexible, efficient, and clear. Highly recommended. read more

As a new patient I was very impressed with Dr. Paul Callahan's level of professionalism and expertise, as well as his kind, gentle and compassionate nature. I felt at ease, which I cannot say about many other dentists I've seen over the years. Sonia gets 5 *s as well, for her patience, kindness and professionalism. I couldn't recommend Callahan Dental more highly! read more

I have been a patient at Callahan Dental for many years, and I am so grateful for the care I've received. Another dental office had recommended extensive work, and Dr. Paul Callahan's second opinion saved me a fortune -- not to mention a lot of time and potential discomfort. The office always runs on time, and the cleanings are not only effective, but pleasant! read more

Dr. Bunin and his staff are awesome! As usual, they took me back early for my appointment and were ready to go even with an emergency lost filling. I thought I was just going to get a confirmation that I lost a filling, but they were able to redo the filling today as well (even as the last appointment of the day). Wonderful practice! read more
