This is advice in general, but If you are not proactive and scrutinize questionable procedures and charges, you can be left paying more than necessary and potentially gaslighted in the process. If something feels high pressure or counter to the information you know, get a second opinion. You are not obligated to do things immediately especially if it's not a matter of life or death. Additionally, whether you are paying with insurance and/or out-of-pocket, I would suggest getting and setting expectations up front and retaining documentation. Talk to your insurance as well to come prepared with options. If you don't, it might cost you. You've been warned. Caveat emptor.

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Spagna (Chris) and his team. As someone who absolutely…read morehates going to the dentist due to lack of trust from previous providers, I can honestly say I trust Dr. Spagna, and don't dread the dentist any longer. First of all, the front desk staff is great - super kind and helpful. I've never waited for an appointment, if anything they always seem to get my in 5 minutes before my actual appointment time. I love Carla, the dental hygienist. She's warm and friendly and works seamlessly alongside Dr. Spagna during cleanings, and other procedures. Dr. Spagna is very down to earth and honest, which is so important to me when finding the right dentist. At check ins, he visually shows you potential problem areas on the x ray screen. He identifies ones that can wait, or ones that need repairs right away. He doesn't just tell you what you need done, he shows you and describes it in a way you can understand. I feel like I can trust him! These past few months, I needed extra dental work involving repair/replacement of dental implants. The situation was unique and difficult. Dr. Spagna put in a ton of leg work, speaking with my previous dentists and ortho surgeon, reaching out to implant companies, gathering needed info, etc. He totally went above and beyond what I expected and previously experienced with other dentists. He was very thorough in describing the problem, the options, risks, and recommended plan, which I truly appreciated Bottom line, if you want a dentist and team that is honest, truly cares for their patients, and will go the extra mile for you, go to see Dr. Spagna!

Let me start by saying that I am 51 years old and have never had any dental problems (major or…read moreotherwise) before a recent out-of-nowhere root canal problem. Add to this that, apparently, I have four tooth roots instead of the normal three, and it's oft-said that you have a sometimes difficult procedure ahead. I was sent to Bloom Dental by the equally excellent Cherrydale Smiles (also in Arlington, Virginia), who did my initial X-Rays, discovery of problem, and cleaning out of gum, pre the necessary root canal work. I always heard nightmare stories about root canals. That was before the incredible Dr. Yousefi took over. I felt ZERO pain at ANY time during the initial procedure (or at any time), and even had to come back for a part two since I had an infection that needed elimination before the work could be completed. I was worried there would be pain during part two, but again, Dr. Yousefi worked some magic on my aforementioned unusual four-rooted tooth with NO pain did it in exceedingly efficient time (45 minutes tops for the entire two-part procedure), and it's now temporarily crowned and awaiting final crowning at month's end. I highly recommend Bloom Dental because of the highly-skilled, precise Dr. Yousefi and his polite, professional staff. 5/5 gold stars. --Matt C.

I was one of those that absolutely dreaded going to the dentist. However a recent toothache (and…read morestroke of luck) led me to this practice and I have to say I couldn't be happier with the service I received. I know they say you shouldn't judge a book by it's cover but it was this dental office's charming exteriors that initially swayed me over their flashy competitors. So I made an appointment at the little dollhouse in the middle of Clarendon. Merry (like Christmas LL), the office administrator took my initial call and was extremely accommodating to my schedule. Dr. Mooney administered the examination and performed the extractions I ended up needing. Her bedside manner is phenomenal and patience nothing less than virtuous considering the 2 year old I become when in the dentist chair. But I have to say my ABSOLUTE favorite part of the entire experience was meeting Mickey, the dental assistant. She was a joy throughout the entire process. Genuinely caring, kind, gentle and empathetic. I am grateful to have met her and will now look forward to dental appointments knowing she will be there. So if you must have a dental procedure done, come here. You'll leave smiling from ear to ear - for more reasons than one.

This practice is incredibly predatory. I went in with a dental emergency and noticed that the…read moreintake documents stipulates that their ""treatment plans"" are not going to be confined by your insurance, assuming one is using insurance. Initially I thought nothing of it and planned to say no to any window dressing offered. The "treatment plan" that I received was filled with costs for random fillings even though I was here for an emergency root canal. I stressed that the root canal was all I was going to commit to, and I had to defend this decision across multiple appointments. The front desk even called the dentist back in to try pressure me into getting more work done. Conveniently, they suddenly deemed a few of the fillings "non-priority" even though they were ready to bill me for them. I still said no and my wishes were only respected after I fought for it. As far as the care I received, my experience with dentist was sarcastic and uncommunicative. I didn't know what was happening or what to expect during the procedure. I had to specifically request my medicated toothpaste that I was prescribed because they didn't hand it to me after my second or third appointment. Incidentally this happened after I denied the extra work in my treatment plan. When I went to another dentist and got a second opinion, he was confused at the need for extra fillings and mentioned that my teeth were in great condition. Overall I did not feel considered, respected, or cared for in this process, and I do not recommend for anyone else to go to this practice.

Mary Gregory DDS came recommended in the military spouses community because they were one of the…read morefew practices that take our insurance (they were out of network but would submit claims). As of 2025 they will no longer take the military insurance. There's parking and she offers early morning appointments (7am). The appointments were ok, there's not much to say when you just get a cleaning and there's no dental issues. The hygienist goes pretty hard and even chipped the top of one of my front teeth. She told me I could have an orthodontist smooth it out. They charge an additional $50 out of pocket for fluoride. I sent my previous scans multiple times and they said they didn't receive them. When she did see my scan, I was referred to someone to get a second opinion on something she saw. Almost $500 later I find out it's just my sinus cavity. I know, better safe than sorry and can't fault her for doing her job. My final straw was getting charged a late cancellation fee. They require 48 hours notice which can be really hard if you're not sick 48 hours in advance and the day before your appointment is a weekend or holiday as was my case. I called the morning of and left a voicemail that I was sick; instead I went to urgent care and was diagnosed with strep throat and an ear infection. They did not receive this voicemail in time because the receptionist was also out sick. I was charged the fee 6 weeks later and when I called to see if they make medical exceptions I was told absolutely not because they have already written off too much from *all of us* because our insurance doesn't pay well. As a professional I can understand some of this, I know it's frustrating when people late cancel/no show or an insurance doesn't pay well. However, I always make exceptions for medical and other things that are truly out of their control. They are right to stop taking our insurance, it's not good when you start to resent your customers. Take away: -No matter how sick you are, if you want to avoid a fee, go to the appointment -Go if you know your dental insurance pays well or you plan to pay out of pocket -Insurance companies are the worst and need to raise their rates across the board
