All of the work I've had done here has been durable and comfortable. Dr. Andrew is fine with monitoring minor issues, rather than aggressively suggesting further procedures. They can also treat some cavities without drilling! Invisalign in my thirties returned my teeth to the perfectly adjusted smile orthodontia gave me at fourteen. wear your retainers...or come to Embrey Mills. They accept both FEDVIP and Community Care through the VA. Changing from one to the other was painless, and they updated all of my imagery at the same time.

Very nice and clean facility because when someone walks in they see dollar signs only. The lady with the clip board trying to show me the break down of the $6k they thought they could get out of me told me I have periodontal disease. Not the dentist. In a last ditch effort to get money when I said I'm not here for Invisalign or anything else besides a routine cleaning. I asked why would SHE, the finance lady be telling me this and not the dentist. No response to that. Do I? Maybe. But am I going to give them money based off that visit, absolutely not. I will go elsewhere and have a more caring dental team educate me what's going on and what needs to done. Here you are just educated on price.

    I highly recommend Serene Smiles for your regular dentist! I've been a few times now, and every…read moreexperience has been wonderful. Booking An Appointment Part of the reason consistently taking care of my health is difficult is because navigating websites, setting up accounts, loading information, calling phone numbers, consulting various sources, etc. is mentally exhausting. Serene Smiles makes it SO EASY to book online. Now that I'm a regular, I've also taken advantage of being able to text their number to set or reschedule appointments. I also love that Serene Smiles texts me my appointment information and reminders. It truly couldn't be easier! Your Comfort Is Important Before my very first appointment, I shared during my booking experience that in the past I've had dentists who have grabbed my mouth and roughly poked around without me knowing what they were doing. I shared that my preference is to know what they are doing and why. Serene Smiles exceeded my expectations in every way, first with Sarah as my initial hygienist, and then with Kaitlyn. Both Sarah and Kaitlyn were so kind and patient with me - they explained what they were doing and why, showed me the tools, told me what they were doing, and told me there were some alternatives if I felt discomfort. They consistently asked me if I was comfortable and overall made me feel very cared for. Dr. Zain is also very gentle, and he goes out of his way to explain everything you need to know about your teeth and facial muscles. He also doesn't push unnecessary treatment - he prefers to try less intrusive options and wait to see if there's improvement. After my first appointment was so wonderful, I encouraged my spouse to give them a try, and he has had the same experience. Now I will encourage you to give them a try. You won't regret it!

    I loved going to Dr. Zain's office. It felt like a home in the waiting room which calmed my nerves…read more The staff was very accommodating as well when I needed an x ray. I had to bring my baby and one of the nurses waited with the baby in the stroller. This was very kind! I couldn't recommend them enough! They made me feel like they cared and took the time to show me the scans and talk to me.

    Sharing a story we have with: Stafford Family Dental Care, 35 Walpole Street, Suite 201 Stafford,…read moreVA For over 20 years, our family has had dental insurance (Delta Dental) with no issues. We get regular checkups, cleanings, and x-rays as needed. We have 2 kids now (9 and 7) and moved to Stafford in 2019. We've tried a few dentists and haven't found one we've especially liked for many reasons (COVID restrictions, tried to oversell products, etc..). Was hopeful we found our dentist at Stafford Family Dental Care (SFDC) but we were wrong. Lots of dentist appointments for our family and we know, all too well, to ask the question: "Is this covered by insurance?" We have hopped around at least 3 times since coming to Stafford and each dentist has requested the records from the previous and been able to answer the question honestly. We decline stuff they try and sell (services, fluoride, products) that are not necessary, if not covered by insurance. SFDC doesn't ask, they tell you what services they're going to perform (fishy). This situation, they told us they were going to perform panoramic x-rays and fluoride for both our kids. We asked if insurance would cover and of course they said "yes it would." May 30, 2023, we received our second notice to pay the bill for the x-ray and we called to find out what it's about. They explained we owe $106 because the panoramic x-rays for my son were denied because of frequency limitation. Lots of things wrong here but I tried to reason with them explaining, while we were in the office, we asked if insurance would cover it and they said, "yes it would". Other dentist offices check with insurance prior to completing a treatment/service and provide you with a cost/treatment plan. I know we could have verified previous services and checked claims/receipts/etc. but it comes down to customer service. We asked, they lied. I then asked if they would forgive this bill as there was some sort of miscommunication, but the answer was no. Quote: "They performed a service, and we are responsible to pay the bill, or it will be turned over to a collection agency." We gave them another chance and explained this has never happened, should have/could have, occurred by both sides, and explained they would lose us as patients, and I would post this write up on social media. They didn't care so here we are. I expect to get lots of calls from a collections agent and I'll probably have a credit hit I'll have to argue. I doubt much will come of this, but it is a clear example of a dentist trying to gouge people for extra services and products. One of the most unethical things I've ever experience, lying to their patients to get extra $ out of them. Looking back on prior services, they hit us for almost $200 because a previous dentist installed sealants incorrectly so they had to redo them. They were done the previous year! I'm seriously doubting there was anything wrong with them, but they got the $ out of us. Ending note - please avoid Stafford Family Dental Care and spread the word. I would very much like them to go out of business and take their unethical practice with them.

    Had to take them to court and get a judgement against them....they lie....the end,,,,side…read morenote....in response to her response....still lies....not dismissed and it is public record...Stafford general district court.....trial date 1/7/13.....K & M Dental LLC....you will find judgement for plaintiff

Dr. Sunil Charian was also professional and explained my gum infection issue to me clearly. He did not try to up-sale me on procedures I didn't need and gave me tips on how to handle my infection with home care and antibiotics. As a first time patient without insurance, my bill at the end of the check up was only $29. I feel like the care I received was excellent, especially for the price.

I still went for the cleanings and fillings though. I paid what I was asked to up front. They were terrible about the appointments. Calling to tell me they had to cancel, then sending confirmations for the same day. They hadn't made it clear that sometimes they had me down for 2 procedures in one day. It was confusing and really messed up my schedule. After my final procedure, no one talked to me about a follow up appointment. I ahd been told at the beginning there would be one. Neither did anyone say anything about a further payment. I couldn't remember if I'd pay it all up front or not, so didn't think anymore about it. Now, almost 2 months later I got a statement in the mail. That would be fine, except that when I logged in to pay it, it shows $50 more than the statement was for and what I was told the cost would be. I got the statement on Friday and paid it on Saturday. There shouldn't have been interest or extra charges accumulated. I didn't even the last appointment that was supposed to be included in my total costs. I will not be returning and you shouldn't either.
