I would highly recommend the Lighthouse Dental practice in Arlington. I have been going there since they opened, for all my dental and hygiene needs. They are friendly and highly professional. read more

I have been going to Lighthouse Dental Arlington since moving to the neighborhood 15 years ago. Dr. Mistry and his staff have gone to extraordinary measures to address my dental needs, from crowns to routine cleaning. All of my experience to date has been phenomenal. Even if I move away from the area, I will consider semi-annual trips to the area to ensure I continue to get the same care and treatment from an exceptional dental team. In closing, I am incredibly appreciative of the team's consideration of my work schedule and commute, ensuring I can receive prompt dental care at convenient times. Keep smiling! read more

Lighthouse Dental Arlington - Jet skiing and enjoying Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. - General Dentistry Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Had my first appointment here back in January. They love to nickel and dime you for their practices. Doctor Mistry was nice sure, but kept pushing Invisalign on me after I said let me get a second opinion. But still wouldn't take that for an answer. I had braces as a kid, wore my retainer until I was in my mid 20s. I don't believe I need to spend thousands of dollars on Invisalign. After scheduling my 6 month appointment, there was a $100 cancellation fee they never even mentioned. Some people don't have flexible working jobs and can make that work. But hand up accountability for me even scheduling the second appointment. Then over the phone they told me I had a $15 outstanding balance for the "irrigation" system. The water you rinse your mouth with... you're a dental office and are charging me people to use your water. Won't be returning read more

The dentist is super nice. That said the actual dental services here are probably closer to a 2.5 than a 3. The cleanings aren't very good and at the end they smear this white-out type substance on your teeth that is sticky and you end up ingesting 99% of it. I also had a filling replaced and the results weren't great. It still hurts to chew on that side... read more

I am a dental scaredy cat but two years ago, my mouth was a mess. My gums bled. A crown had chipped. My mouth hurt. I took a chance on Dr Mistry and his team and we have spent the last two years treating my gum disease, fixing my broken crown, fitting me for a proper night guard and replacing several fillings that were loose. The care has been compassionate and he takes the time to really explain the treatments. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Moved here recently and needed a new dentist, and this was the place I picked. And I'm glad I did! Dr. Mistry and the people here are so kind and helpful! I've been here to get cleanings and for ortho appointments. Everyone has been super helpful with my Invisalign purchases and needs, and with booking appointments. For my last cleaning I had, they were very patient with me since I hadn't gone in awhile due to the pandemic. That meant a lot to me since I was anxious to come back, but they were so helpful and nice. Overall, really grateful I found this place. read more

Our daughter's dentist is at Lighthouse dental and she likes the dentist very much. HOWEVER, reviews have said that they make the atmosphere as peaceful and comfortable for those who suffer from anxiety. Somehow listening to rock and roll (another one bites the dust, etc) does NOT seem to do the job of relaxing and with anxiety, that must tends to make more things complicated. If they would change the music to relaxing/calming music, I believe she would do much better read more

Very innovative and very precise they helped with all my needs and were very attentive and friendly very quick painless procedure

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mistry and the team at Lighthouse Dental! Invisalign - Dr. Mistry invested in my smile, my satisfaction, my input, and my total experience, and I am so happy with the results! He continues to adjust my trays as my teeth have changed (implant) to ensure all of the time, money, and effort (his and mine) continue to be the best investment. Dental Care - Lighthouse Dental technicians are fantastic! I have very sensitive teeth/gums and they take great care in my comfort while they provide treatment. I am sensitive to water (especially cold) and the technician adjust the water temp for my comfort. The Admin Support - I appreciate their time and effort, and especially since they get to know each patient and works tirelessly to schedule appointments that fit your schedule, and working with insurance companies to ensure coverage is maximized. Thank you Lighthouse Dental! read more

Quick check in & friendly staff. Specifically, the dental treatment/cleaning I received was extremely well-performed by the hygienist (Vivian), who made the whole experience fly by remarkably pain-free. I don't know if you can request a specific hygienist in advance, but I hope Vivian is in the office during my next appointment. Thanks for the great service & making "going to the dentist" something to look forward to :) Definitely recommend this place for those in the area looking for a new dentist and/or related services. read more

Dr. Mistry and team at Lighthouse are the best! Vivian was both gentle and thorough cleaning my teeth and she answered all of my questions and walked me through the results of the digital scan, which really helped my understanding of my oral health. They recommended I switch to a night guard with retainer after showing me my bite patterns on the scan, and also that I ditch my ten year old permanent retainer so that I can clean better. Not pushy at all, I didn't feel like they were pushing me to buy more than was necessary, and both Dr. Mistry and Vivian kept me in the loop enough to better understand and feel motivated to take care of my oral health. Great dental experience! read more

Dr. Mistry and his staff have been excellent, and I highly recommend Lighthouse Dental. Yesterday my dental hygienist Vivian did a thorough job in cleaning my teeth and was kind and efficient. My teeth feel squeaky clean today! Dr. Mistry always takes ample time with me and answers all of my concerns. He's gentle and has recommended the the safest way to proceed with concerns I have had in these past 5 years in going to him. The office staff are responsive, kind & competent. Even though we moved out of the area, I am staying with Dr. Mistry because I trust him his staff. read more

El mejor dentista de DMV. I love Erika she is the best when it comes to appointment accomodation and great customer services.

Dr. Mistry & Alisha were great! Very friendly and professional. Communication at the first desk is not great. They recommended I purchase a toothbrush from them, which I did. When I returned home I realized it was cheaper at other locations so I called to see if I could return and they said they weren't sure due to COVID (which was never mentioned when I purchased) and would get back to me. I've called back 3 times and no answer. read more

Kayla W. I have had a wonderful experience at this dental office! Every member of the staff here is friendly, thorough, and cares for the patient. I would recommend this practice to any of my friends and family! read more

The time had come, where I've been needing crowns for a long long time, and finally found Lighthouse and felt comfortable enough to pull the trigger. Now, there's nothing pleasant about getting six crowns on your front teeth. But, the folks at Lighthouse Dental have taken the best care of me and genuinely cared about my comfort. They've rebuilt my smile and I couldn't be happier. I would recommend Lighthouse Dental to anyone in the Long Branch Creek, Shirlington, Nauck, Arlington Ridge, or Arliandria area looking for professional, quality dental work. read more

if you need a dentist...look no further! This is a great dentist with an outstanding support staff. They do quality, pain free work to include Invisalign. It's easy to get an appointment and the admin staff friendly. read more

Dr Mistry and his staff are terrific! They are very professional and courteous plus do great work. I've been delighted with the cleanings and other dental care I have gotten at Lightning over the past eight years. read more

TLDR; This place is great, their new hygienist from Miami is 5 stars, and I continue to go here for the great service. I've been using Lighthouse Dental for 5+ years. I'm not someone who has many dental problems, so I'm happy to say I have rarely needed to see them beyond a normal check-up. No cavities (knock on wood), no real dental issues. That may be thanks to a low-grade white-coat syndrome via past terrible experiences with dentists/hygienists, but hey, what's a little trauma, right? A normal dental check-up would leave me walking away with my gums bleeding and sore after being poked, prodded, and scolded by a hygienist who swears to me that none of this would happen if I flossed more (for the record, I floss 2x a day). During my last appointment about 2 weeks ago, I legitimately had the best dental experience of my entire life up to this point (yes, I'm aware of how weird that sounds). My hygenist (who hails from Miami (I don't remember her name, sorry!!)) gave me -- hands down -- the most thorough and gentle dental cleaning I've ever received. My gums were not sore or bleeding and there was no mention of how my not flossing enough was going to give me cancer (that last part is a joke, no one's ever done that). Had that most recent experience been the normal of my dental cleanings, I would dare say that I LOVE the dentist. read more

This dental office is great and the best one I've ever had. The staff is really nice and explains what they're doing and why. Very thorough.

As much as I despise going to the dentist, I always feel well taken care of when I visit Lighthouse Dental. I also appreciate how clean the office and all of the tools are. Kevin and all of the hygienists I've interacted with are professional and friendly too. I would recommend this office to anyone! read more

Have been going here for a while. Dental hygienists very thorough. Recently got 2 porcelain veneers done and so far happy with them. Color is an exact match. read more

I've been going to Light House dental now for a over a year and the business has taken great care of my dental needs. Everyone is very friendly and pricing is more than fair for their services. I'll definitely be returning for any of my future dental needs. read more

The team is thorough makes cleanings easy and gentle. Just started my college-age kids at the practice since they left their pediatric dentist. They loved being treated as adults and the attention to care. Dr. Mistry has steered us well in all dental care for our family. read more

Here we are, 8 months after my first visit to Dr. Mistry and I finally had my crown installed for the last time by my new dentist. My experience with Dr. Mistry lasted from February-May 2018 and culminated in 7-8 total visits. While scheduling is a breeze at this office, the quality of treatment and craftsmanship is downright scary. Keep in mind, I went in to get one tooth crowned originally in a pinch. Fast forward to three temporary crowns (they fell out, they broke, and etc), two permanent crowns (first one I cracked and last one, I swallowed), a bad cavity fill in the tooth in front of the affected one (Dr. Mistry nicked the tooth with the drill causing it to need to be filled) and 7-8 office visits later (including an emergency Sunday procedure to repair the cracked permanent crown), I asked for a refund and got the work done right (the first time). I wished throughout the entire process that Dr. Mistry had spent more time strategizing on a proper path forward and less time doing guess work especially since this was the furthest back tooth in my mouth (31, lower back molar) which is used for chewing and has the least surface area. Throughout the process, I was sure he either ground the tooth too low or did not have enough surface on the tooth to hold the crown down (even after cutting grooves in the crown). However, he never presented an alternative option other than doing the same thing over and over (the definition of insanity) which resulted in an inordinate amount of visits, discomfort, missed work, and pain. When I went in for a second opinion to the dentist that eventually fixed the poor work, it was clear that not only was the tooth not prepped properly (he did not laser the gum down at all or expose enough to create enough surface area for proper and lasting bond), but that that Dr. Mistry had damaged the tooth in front of it. Each time I went, I felt as though Dr. Mistry operated with a "we'll just see what happens approach," consistently getting less and less confident with his work. This approach may be fine the first or second time, but nothing beyond that. It almost seemed like he expected to see me again. While a very nice guy, I would not recommend Dr. Mistry to anyone seeking any procedure past a basic cleaning. While very available and always open to get a last minute appointment in, I have learned it is worth paying a little extra for proper dental care as your teeth will be with you forever and are alo directly linked to your heart health. Just my two cents. read more

If you are on the bench about going to the dentist right now, you don't have to be! Don't neglect your health because you are afraid of going out. Lighthouse Dental has upgraded their entire building with state of the art equipment specifically for virus prevention. The whole building has been outfitted with hospital-grade equipment and PPE that exceeds well beyond the CDC and ADA guidelines. The hygenist who cleaned my teeth today, Michelle, was absolutely the best. If the extra PPE and other equipment make you feel uneasy, she makes any patient feel comfortable. Best of all, she educates you on what exactly is going on, so you aren't caught off guard. Big thanks to the team at Lighthouse. All of you rock. read more

The most thorough dental exam I have ever gotten! Definitely recommend. I also love how they explained everything to me.

The dentist and hygienist are great. Made sure I was comfortable and were thorough. The front office staff is horrible. Disorganized and unprofessional. Asked me the same questions over and over again over email, misplaced paperwork, unprofessional email communication, they made me miss my cleaning this morning. One woman at the front desk doesn't have her mask on and the other woman has it not covering her nose. The medical staff is great though, I will be going back because of them- and I'll just try to minimize my interactions with the admin staff. Lastly, they are taking COVID seriously. Tons of precautions. This is only the second medical appointment I went to since the pandemic, and I was impressed. If they get better front desk staff/train them better, it would be a perfect dental office! read more

I've been going to Dr. Mistry for years. He is by far the best dentist I've ever had. This was apparent after the first visit. The whole team is super professional and kind. Over the years, I have moved further away from the office, but continue to make the drive. read more

I had a wonderful experience at Lighthouse Dental. I had to move from my previous dentist because they no longer took my insurance and honestly I'm kind of happy about it. The hygenist, Arlicia, was absolutely amazing - explained everything, answered every question, and made sure I was comfortable. I could not have asked for a better or more informative experience. Dr. Mistry was also great - he was able to fit me in for an Invisalign consult and helped me understand the process. I can't wait to get started! Erika at the front desk was helpful and efficient! read more

I switched from my old dentist because I thought my old dentist didn't seem to care enough, not Dr Mistry. He and his entire staff have very understanding and responsive, and I have been impressed with their professionalism and in general their attitude. I recommend them very highly. read more

Dr. Mistry and his team are awesome! I highly recommend their work. Go there and don't even hesitate! Dr. Mistry's team is the perfect storm! They are highly skilled but very friendly. You can tell he is building his practice/business the old fashioned way: Great Service, Hard Work, and a Friendly Environment. He stopped and checked with me at least ten times during my cleaning to make sure I wasn't uncomfortable or feeling pain. AND when I needed work done that was outside of 100% insurance coverage he had Allison (Office Manager) present the invoice and helped me make an informed decision. Lastly, Dr.Mistry was open, informative and had great dialogue about the process and what he was doing to my teeth. He even showed me the backs of my teeth using a larger mirror I held and the little dentist mouth mirror. Dr. Mistry and his team won me over and he'll be the only dentist I go to for was long as I'm in the area! Stop reading now and call Allison so you can make an appointment! read more

Lighthouse Dental Arlington - Look at those chompers!!! - General Dentistry Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Dr. Mistry and his staff are Super Professionals. Not only do they provide oral hygiene, they also educate you on the care of your mouth. I appreciate Dr. Mistry, being the "quarter back" for the team services, that I require to maintain my oral health. I am comfortable with the COVID disinfectant standards, maintained in the office. For the first time in my life, I can say I look forward to going to the dentist :)! Sima the Hygienists is the best! read more

I've had a fear of dentist all my life, even putting off care. Dr. Mistry has cured me if this! He is empathic, compassionate and funny. I actually look forward to my visits. read more

I've been going to Lighthouse Dental for over 7-8 years now. Dr. Mistry and his staff are awesome! They are always updating their technology, making me feel like they invest a lot in their customers, and are really friendly. I moved to fairfax but still make the trek every six months to see them in Arlington. Highly recommend. read more

I originally chose Lighthouse because it's walking distance from my house. I stay with Lighthouse because of their kindness and professionalism. They somehow make it feel like a small town again, allowing my 3 mostly-well-behaved kids to hang out in the waiting room during my cleaning. Dr. Mistry is quick, efficient, and polite - without being cold, impersonal, or robotic. A few years ago, I had an emergency lock-up of my jaw due to TMJ issues and grinding my teeth at night. They took me the same day and rushed the job for a night guard, which solved the problem within 2 nights of wearing it. I don't go a night without it, and I won't consider another dentist as long as I'm living in Arlington. They're just too good. read more

I have had an irrational fear of dentists/dentistry since childhood. Consequently I have not taken great care of my teeth so now I need a lot of work. Dr. Mistry is the first dentist I have ever felt comfortable with. No judgement for the mess I've let my teeth get into. He takes great care to minimize pain. But best of all, he patiently explained my options and what he thought could/could not be done. He referred me to an oral surgeon so we can get started on what definitely needs to be done and in the meantime he is working on written plans for my options after that. That gives me the opportunity to make informed decisions as well as to plan my life and budget accordingly. I couldn't be happier and I highly recommend!! read more

I've been going to Lighthouse Dental for about five years now and ended up moving there because I was dissatisfied with the business side of my previous provider's practice. I've had mostly just cleanings from Dr. Mistry and his team and really like they're approach. Most recently, I just wrapped a 10 week Invisalign treatment with Dr Mistry. Throughout the process, Dr. Mistry made me feel informed and involved in the process. I'm very satisfied with the results. Recommended! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Mistry for years and continue to receive A+ service from him and his staff. Even during these challenging times, I felt completely comfortable going to the office because his COVID protocols are in sync with CDC guidelines. I visit his office frequently because I have the Invisalign. His expertise in the field demonstrates that he is very knowledgeable of best and promising practices. read more

Like most people, I don't enjoy going to the dentist, but Dr. Mistry and his team are top-notch. Great with appointments and flexibility, conscious of costs and aware of insurance limitations. They are friendly and gentle and always responsive to emergencies as well as routine treatment. I've been a patient for years and started bringing my teenager here, too. Overall excellent and much appreciated! read more
