ASPEN HILL SMILES FAMILY DENTISTRY- This review is lengthy but worth reading! I came to get an…read moreinitial procedure done due to a broken tooth. Hence I was in extreme pain. Dr. Gildenhorn was amazing he explained everything to me. Beyond the procedure I have to say his personality is amazing. He's funny and direct and really cares You can tell he is super busy but I would expect that from a great dentist. Thanks to him I felt comfortable and appreciated. His assistant Maria was a doll. She completely made me feel great and she was very personable. Her smile made me feel great to have her around. She's beautiful inside and out. The procedure unfortunately did not help but it was perfectly done. I have no complaints or regrets. It's just one of those moments where luck wasn't on my side. Since I was indeed in dire pain I came back to him for a check up. The X-ray showed nothing but we decided on a root canal because of the excruciating pain. He apologized over and over and said he didn't like to see me in pain so he asked to give me an appt to Dr. Tran the specialist for a root canal ASAP. I only had to wait a day for her to be in office. Oh man I cannot express enough gratitude to her and her assistant Jessica. I myself am not your average person. I like to show love and appreciation to people. My own way of making the world a better place one person at a time. And they were very accommodating to me. They even played my favorite music while I had my procedure to calm me down and give me a more comfortable experience. I'd also like to take a moment to thank the front desk staff members I met. To Miss Bethany and Mr Patrick, thank you so much for you generosity and kindness. I hope you both continue to smile and have happy days. Mr. Patrick thank you so much for taking your time in helping me in my situation in the first visit. You took your time and never showed me anything other than respect and courtesy. There is nothing bad I can say to Aspen Hill Smiles. The staff and Dr.'s are some of the best I've seen. Thank you so much for everything. I will see you soon for my next appt. ~ Betty Boop PS - This dental office will help you if you don't have insurance. They have a dental savings plan that you may apply for in office. ( It's pricy but worth it compared to the saving you will save.) Also they have payment plans. They will also go over all your costs before hand and I'm my experience there were no hidden or extra costs given.

I'm a young senior citizen, ;) , and had a front tooth break at the root. I needed a dentist immediately. My wife knew Dr. Tan from her dental experiences and recommended I go to them versus my current dentist. I am very glad I did. Dr. Tan's team is great from all perspectives. The administrative staff is friendly, the dental doctors precise and caring. They are sensitive to pain and conscious of the patient's discomfort. I'm 5 months in to a 9 month process of procedure and healing. I've been through two surgeries to repair the damage done. I'm very confident Dr. Tan has me on the right path to full recovery. While the dentist office isn't the most fun to be at, I'm very comfortable and confident with Besta Dental and trust their medical/dental knowledge and skills. You can trust them too.

I recently moved to the area and picked this dental office because it was close by. The office…read morelooked clean and modern, and the front desk staff was friendly, but my experience went downhill after that. During the exam, the dentist quickly recommended several expensive procedures without really explaining what the issues were, why the treatments were needed, or what the process would look like. After that, I was sent to another staff member who kept pushing me to sign a financial agreement, but they couldn't clearly explain the pricing or give me a clear estimate of the total cost. I also asked for copies of my dental X-rays, but the office sent low-resolution images that weren't usable for follow-up care. Because of that, I had to pay to get new X-rays taken at another dental office. Based on my experience, I wouldn't recommend this practice.

The main reason why i went in was because of some pain and was in need of good quality care, since my past dentist have failed me.

I am so glad that i chose this place over other dental offices. :)

I do NOT recommend Dr. Hagigi…read more 1. He is not professional enough. He does not respect his patient choice. In recent visit I did not want to do the X-ray and I only need the regular cleaning. He is upset and said " here is not right place for you" twice. 2. My dental insurance cover the regular cleaning twice a year without any charge. But Dr. Hagigi charge me and my wife almost every time. He said this is preventive cleaning, so he needs to charge us. My wife insist to do the regular cleaning with no charge. Finally we can not find any difference between the preventive cleaning and regular cleaning.

If you are getting a crown, go elsewhere! Although it may seem nice that this practice makes crowns…read moreinhouse instead of sending out to a lab, making the crown also depends on the skill of the dentist. I've never had issues in the past with lab made crowns. This is the first time I've ever had a Cerec crown, and I have had pain for over two months. Also, I can FEEL this Cerec crown in my mouth constantly - it is as if there is something stuck against my cheek or on the tooth. It is causing me to bite the inside of my check. Plus, it is painful to try to chew even soft foods on it, the tooth/root hurts if I touch it with anything (tongue, finger, etc). Going through this pain, I did some online research on Cerec crowns, and there are a lot of issues with these type of crowns (most of which has to do with the skills of the dentist). The Cerec crown being too "bulky" so that feels like something stuck to your tooth or cheek is a complaint that people have had, which has to do with dentist not being skilled enough to fit it correctly. If you research Cerec crowns, you have to also be careful not to just read "advertisements" disguised as articles written by dental practices that purchased an expensive Cerec machine and want to recoup their investment! Since getting the new crown, I went back to Dr. Anolik's office three times because of the pain. The third time, Dr. Steven Anolik referred me to an endodontist, Dr. Jason Fields - who apparently is Anolik's go-to endodontist for referrals. He said the whole reason for the pain is that I am grinding my teeth. This didn't make sense to me - I might grind a little or clench a little, but I had gotten another crown on the same side years ago and never had this kind of pain. So, I switched to a different dental practice. My new dentist said that don't have a Cerec machine because of the problems with Cerec crowns. She tried doing a bite adjustment (grinding the crown down a little because it was hitting the top teeth to hard). She also referred me to an endodontist, and said to go if I am still having pain in a couple of weeks. The pain continued, so I saw the new endodontist, who recommended a root canal. He did the root canal, and when he got in there, he said the nerves were very inflammed (from all trauma of the crown) and some of the nerve was dead, and it was infected. That was the reason I was having this pain. Now the infection is getting treated, then he will finish the root canal. Then I'll go back to the new dentist and see about replacing or fixing the ill-fitting crown. I am writing this long review because I totally regret having walked into this dental practice in the first place. If Dr. Steven Anolik had told me BEFORE recommending the crown that they are using an inhouse Cerec machine to make it, instead of sending it out to a lab, I would have had a chance to research it before the appointment. But I did not know until I was in the chair for the appointment to get the crown. Would I have researched it and decided against it? I don't know for certain. But I believe patients should have the choice and have all the facts. Thus, I am writing this review for anyone who happens to see it, who happens to go to this practice and they tell you that you need a crown. At least you would have the choice to do some research on your own and decide if you want to risk having the dentist make it inhouse. Another thing I learned through this experience. The endodontist looked at all the x-rays and intraoral photos of that one tooth. It had a crack on both sides, which is why a crown was necessary. But he said that he would have done the root canal first, and then do the crown. There was a big risk of the trauma to the nerves, the inflammation, and a deeper crack that could not be detected. So doing the root canal first would have saved me all of this pain and multiple appointments and multiple painful shots in the mouth.

Dr. Hokai Wang did my first ever dental filling with local anesthetic. I expressed how nervous I…read morewas about it, and he was very calming. When he injected the local anesthetic into my cheek, I was surprised by how gentle he was and how painless the anesthetic was. He made sure to not rush the injection so it wouldn't hurt. He also found another cavity while doing my first filling and filled it for me while I was already numb, which I am grateful for. He took the time with me afterwards to answer all of my questions. The front desk staff and dental hygienists at this dental practice are also friendly, nice, and thorough - shout out to Evelyn, my favorite hygienist! There's plenty of parking at both the Gaithersburg and Kensington locations, just a narrow entry into both parking lots.

I have seen both Dr. Edmond Woo and Dr. Wang on various occasions for cleanings and regular check-ups. My appointments are quick and there's barely a wait-time if at all every time that I have gone. My hygienist today was Evelyn and she does an amazing job as well. Staff here are all very welcoming. The facility is very clean and I've personally witnessed the staff wipe down all equipment prior to and after each patient visit. There's a nice stream of background music they play as well which is nice. There's a private lot in the back for convenient parking and street parking out in front. If you're looking for a dentist in the Kensington or Wheaton area, I would highly recommend Dr. Woo's office.
