My visits to Dr Ahrabi's dental office is always a pleasant experience. From the moment I go in through the front door, there is friendly and caring staff at the reception area. Carrie is a mainstay and always helpful. During my March 12th, 2026 visit, I had Sue as my dental hygienist. Wow was she thorough and knowledgeable! She checked every inch of my gums, scraped and cleaned my teeth like never before, and gave me some good tips to continue keeping my teeth and gums in great shape. Dr Ahrabi is the anchor man, and I've always had great visits and input from him. My whole family has been coming here for the past 8-9 years. I have always highly recommended this dental office to family and friends! Keep up the great work, Oakton Dental Center:) read more

Dr. Ahrabi and his team are truly exceptional - always kind, professional, and accommodating. Oakton Dental Center offers top-tier cosmetic dental care and even made time for me on short notice for emergency treatment. I gladly drive farther than other options to receive the consistently high-quality care they provide. Thank you!! read more

This is a quality dentist. He's fixed fillings that other dentists botched. Every visit, he seems to have the latest best-practices, but not fads. read more

The team at Oakton Dental Center, Dr. Ahrabi, the hygienists, the front desk; everyone is so caring and kind. I came in with dozens of cavities, gum issues and a chipped tooth. Everything has been handled so well. I have a solid fear of the dentist but with Dr Ahrabi, it was easy. I'm grateful that they are the team taking care of my teeth! read more

I had a consult for an infected tooth, and the appointment was through, caring and educating. I paid for a deeper xray and was shown the tooth needed immediate action. The dentist squeezed me in the next day. It was clear that he is a seasoned professional with 20 years of experience. The staff was kind, the dentist was detailed and professional doing a thorough job of taking care of the emergency. My experience was positive and I would recommend!! read more

Oakton dental has been exceptional! So much so that even after moving 40 minutes away, we still make the drive back for all our dental appointments. My mother grew up with teeth issues and a poor dentist. Even after becoming an adult and having better dental care, I remember her having nightmares the week before a dental visit. She ensured we had a good dentist and was on top of our dental needs, but for that reason, it has always been important to me to find a good dentist. Dr. Ahrabi has given us excellent care. Along with quality care, I have been impressed by his integrity. My husband had a dentist growing up who worked on teeth to get money and did more work than my husband actually needed. In contrast, Oakton Dental and Dr. Ahrabi have been very honest. He has told us of issues could possibly need attention in the future and watched them, doing work only when necessary. He's not out to get your money but genuinely cares about your dental health. Ive even seen his office work with insurance to help clients with medical bills and I have personally seen Dr. Ahrabi make bills as affordable as possible. My kids all love Oakton Dental. Although he isn't a pediatric specialized dentist, his office has been fantastic with all of our children. They showed the kids everything that would happen before they did it. They even practiced on a little stuffed alligator they had in office. My oldest teen to my youngest toddler are all comfortable going to the office and some of them even look forward to going to the dentist! Really! Even though we've moved. He's worth the 40 minute drive. read more

My Family used the dental services at Oakton Dental Center. We experienced some errors on treatment cost estimations. However, the manager was helpful after our feedback and finally we have come to an agreement. We will continue to use their service. The dentist is nice. read more

I went to Oakton Dental Center as a new patient without insurance around July of 2021 for a New Patient Special which was an adult cleaning and polish for $99. Upon Dr. Ahrabi examining my teeth and observing my x-rays, he determined that I needed a deep cleaning on my Lower Left and Lower Right quadrants, D4341 (Scaling and Root Planing on four or more teeth per quad), which would have cost me a total of $656. He explained that the reason I needed them was because I had some deep pockets in my molars (4mm) in the LR and LL quadrants and that on the X-rays he observed some gingivitis and inflammation on those molars. It is important to note that Dr. Ahrabi was NOT wrong about the gingivitis nor inflammation. As a 20 year old without insurance $656 is a lot of money for me so I decided to get 2 outside opinions from professionals in the industry. The first opinion was from a Dentist who is getting postgraduate training as a Periodontics resident, Periodontists are dental specialists that specialize in gum and bone health, and he concluded that deep cleaning would simply be unnecessary due to no radiographic bone loss nor any evidence of subgingival calculus. The Perio resident noted that all insurances would've likely denied any pre authorization for deep cleaning on my teeth for those reasons. The Perio resident noted that Dr.Ahrabi likely targeted me because I did not have any dental insurance and was paying out of pocket. The Perio resident noted that even if there was bone loss around the molars why the dentist would treat the procedure as a D4341 (Scaling Root planing 4 or more teeth per quad) when it's only the molars that he mentioned having issues. If it truly was just the molars with issues it should have been treated as a D4342 (Scaling Root planing 1 to 3 per quad). The second opinion was another local general dentist. I got new X-rays and a cleaning done. After the cleaning I asked if I had deep pockets and gingivitis and if I needed a deep cleaning. She did acknowledge that there were deep pockets (4mm) and gingivitis but said that with the cleaning done and proper dental care in the months to come, the deep pockets and gingivitis should be of no concern. The receptionist at Dr. Ahrabis office explained to me that in order for me to get the cleaning done for my New Patient Special I would first have to get the deep cleaning done and then they would honor the cleaning as stated in the New Patient Special. I basically paid $99 for X-rays and Dr. Ahrabi to look at my teeth. As stated before, I decided to get a cleaning done at the other dental office shortly after. I recently just went in for my 6 month cleaning and check up. I had been brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash consistently and wanted to see if I really needed the deep cleaning that Dr. Ahrabi suggested. Not to my surprise the dentist said that my teeth were healthy. It is my belief that Dr. Ahrabi saw me as a young naive patient without any insurance and decided to recommend to me a dental procedure that was simply not necessary to make a quick buck. If I had insurance there would be no chance that Dr. Ahrabi would recommend this procedure because he knows that the insurance company would not approve of this. This experience at the Oakton Dental Center with Dr. Ahrabi definitely left a bad taste in my mouth. Not only would this have caused financial pain, but also physical pain because in a deep cleaning the dentist has to numb your mouth with a needle and as everyone knows it hurts a lot, and as someone who is scared of needles this really pissed me off. Dr. Ahrabi knowingly would have put me through physical pain. I felt the need to write this review as a warning to any potential or existing customers without insurance to get a second opinion. I will be reporting this to the Virginia Board of Dentistry. read more

My family and I have been coming to Oakton Dental Center for 4-5 years now. We have an enjoyable experience every time, and consider the office very professional and the workmanship top notch. Dr. Ahrabi runs this small, personal dental business well - it is rare to find small medical facilities these days, so kudos to him on doing so! On July 18 I had the dental assistant named Truc and she was very thorough with my plaque cleaning, gum observations, teeth cleaning, and flouride placement. Kudos to Truc as well! I highly recommend Oakton Dental Center for a more intimate dental experience than you might get at a large, corporate location. read more

I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Ahrabi. I've gone to him every six months for my regular cleanings for about three years now. Dr. A is super-friendly, as is the rest of his staff. He explains everything he does and engages you in conversation. Just such a nice guy, and he always shares some great advice about keeping my mouth healthy. Setting up appointments is easy, and the office sends out reminders via email, phone and text message to remind you a few days prior. I've also had to reschedule before because of work, and it's never been a hassle. The wait time when you show up for your appointment is zero, and the cleanings themselves are pretty quick too -- but thorough. As someone who never needs dental work, I don't take out dental insurance. So I pay for my cleanings out of pocket and appreciate that the price is still pretty reasonable. (Much less than if I paid a year's worth of dental insurance premiums as opposed to just paying for two cleanings with money I'm gaining interest on otherwise.) Overall, I highly recommend Dr. Ahrabi and can't think of even one tiny turnoff in the three years I've been going year. Also, the location is in Oakton, Va., a quiet little town with ample parking and very little mid-day traffic. There are also some great lunch and dinner options nearby. One thing I will say is if you hesitate to go to a foreign dentist because you've had experiences with not understanding what they tell you or you don't like the cultural differences in terms of being unpersonable -- nothing to worry about here. Dr. Ahrabi may have a funny Iranian name, but he's your average Joe and very likable. read more

I go to Dr. Ahrabi because he offers a lot of things I don't get at other dentists. Dr. Ahrabi seems to space his appointments a full hour apart, so I get around 45 minutes with him. He uses this extra time to educate me about my teeth (like if he finds a new chip on a tooth). He also takes the time to inspect my gums and surrounding glands, which I haven't experienced at other dentists. Finally, Dr. Ahrabi is a genuinely nice person. It makes me happy to be able to support his business by being a patient. I hope you give him a chance too! read more

This is a small dental practice with one provider, Dr. Ahrabi. I have been to several dental offices in the area due to my need for extensive dental work to be done. I came to this office to do a root canal without insurance (ouch!). Dr. Ahrabi - He is an extremely caring and professional doctor. Despite having to pay $3000+ for my root canal and crown, I was satisfied with the whole experience because of his work. This was my first root canal and I was terrified. He made the whole process pain-free. Dr. Ahrabi truly cares about the patients and will go out of his way to help you. Since then, I have had no issues with the tooth and crown. If you are covered by dental insurance, go to Dr. Ahrabi without thinking twice. The office staff - The front staff is tad pushy in their business approach. I was asked three different times during my visits, "How did you hear about our practice?" I became tired of answering that question. I understand that this is a business and there is a lot of competition, but you get what I mean. Moreover, this office does not have a payment plan for clients who are not covered by insurance. They also charge you half the amount of a procedure in advance when you make an appointment. read more

Went in for the $99 special cleaning and exam - the day of my appointment was all xray & pushy bs recommendations from the Dr. to get services I don't need. Remember, I have not gotten my teeth cleaned yet and they still made me pay THAT SAME day. My second appointment was finally went I get my cleaning done. Once I was done, they made me PAY AN ADDITIONAL $30 for flouride THAT I WAS NOT NOTIFIED NOR ASKED !!! That should be included !! And OMG the front desk lady was so damn pushy to get me into a credit card while telling me it's for my best interest. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE SERVICE AND DECEITFUL. PLEASE STOP DOING THIS TO OTHER CLIENTS AS MY OTHER FRIENDS WARNED ME TO NOT GO HERE BUT I GAVE YOU GUYS A CHANCE. THANK YOU FOR PROVING ME WRONG !!! read more

Do not use them unless you want to pay $2000+ for a simple procedure and then have them expect you to pay hundreds again for a consult when the work they did failed after a few years. I had a porcelain crown put on a front tooth that had to be extracted due to an accident and the tooth is now turning grey. I specifically asked after the procedure if there is a chance this porcelain tooth changes color and the dentist assured me it would not turn grey again but in a few decades my other teeth would start to darken and this crown would stay white. He obviously didn't do the job correctly because less than 5 years later it's turned grey. I called the office to see if he could look at it since I was specifically told it shouldn't turn grey and they expect me to pay again for work they botched in the first place!! They claim since they haven't seen me since the procedure it's my problem. UPDATE: Finally got to see another dentist that confirmed my tooth coloring (and now other issues as well) are because of lazy work by this dentist. Wish I could have given them negative stars and hope this review helps others think twice before going here!! read more

I came here for two cavity fillings and after it was completed, I could tell the bite was off. Even after using the articulation paper to "tap tap tap," I could tell the right side of my teeth were way too high and the entire left side of my teeth were not touching/making contact. The dentist told me to wait for the numbness to wear off because sometimes patients can't tell when they are numb if their bite is off. The numbness wore off that night and obviously the entire left side of my teeth still didn't touch because the fillings were too high on the right and not shaved down properly. I just came back to get my teeth fixed a few days later because they were closed due to the holidays. I was again told to "tap tap tap" on the articulation paper and he just seemed to be shaving off random parts of my teeth. At one point he was shaving off the wrong teeth!!! I had to tell him it was not that tooth and it was the back that was too high. He responded, "oh yeah I know I know" and resumed shaving. I finally had to tell him to stop because I could tell he was randomly shaving off parts of my teeth and by the time it was over - he had shaved off TOO MUCH. The right side of my teeth were too high, and now they are too low!! Now the teeth on the right side of my jaw are not making enough contact! I had to just smile and tell him it was good because at that point I really could not trust him to fix it. The dentist attributed this to the grinding of my teeth, but that doesn't make sense as to why he wouldn't be able to match the right side of my teeth to the left?? I have had other fillings done before with other dentists and have never had this problem. They tell you to tap your teeth on the paper and simply shave off the parts that are not making proper contact. I will now have to see another dentist and pay to either have more filling to shave down again (because he shaved too much) or shave the other side of my teeth that were already fine to begin with so that the bite matches. Do not recommend. read more

I had a terrible experience with this Dental Office, very sharkish behavior from the owner Dentist. I do not recommend.

This comment might seem a little long, but I encourage you to read it to learn my negative experience. I might save you a bit or a lot of money. Stay away from this place. The dentist will play a scare tactic on you. He took x-rays and then the first thing he told me was if I wanted to one day come back in pain with one tooth in my hand because my bridges were in bad shape. He also told me that I needed X-rays that could only be taken elsewhere because he didn't have the machine. According to the dentist, there was only two or three places that had those specialized x-ray machines. And he kept playing this scare game the two or three times I went for a cleaning. he would tell me that he just wanted to tell me I needed new bridges and I was risking having a serious problem. I went to another dentist who told me there was no rush to get new bridges. This place had the machine that the other dentist said were rare. Additionally, the estimate that I got from Oakton Dental for bridges and for the special x-rays (apparently, he works with that place as he told me that was where I would need to go) was way, I mean way more expensive than the estimate I got from the second dentist. And to top things off, they sent me bills that don't detail the date or type of service. I spoke with my dental insurance and we reviewed the explanation of benefits that latter provides and discover that I have overpaid Oakton Dental and I should have received a refund, but haven't. I also reviewed a bill Oakton Dental sent me (again with no date or type of service) for over $300. The dental insurance provider was professional enough to call dental Oakton on my behalf to review the bill while I was on hold and it turns out that Oakton can't explain why it billed me. Oakton Dental acknowledged the bill should be a lot less. My point here is that had I not take interest in calling my insurance company and just sent the payment, I would have way overpaid. Was the billing a technical error? I can't say one way or the other. I'm telling you about my experience with this particular office. read more

I recently changed to this dentist because my previous one was out of network. One thing you need to know before walking into this place is that they don't always disclose if there is an extra charge on products or service they provide. If you don't ask every single thing, you will need to pay whatever that comes to your bill. Even if sometimes, they will phrase it as "why don't you try something and see if you like it". I have to admit that I might have asked too much for the dentist to inform me there is an extra charge for whatever they recommended. So I just want to share with people who might have the same expectation as me, if you are looking for a trustworthy relationship, this place will not meet your expectation. read more

I just started going to Dr. Ahrabi and have been extremely impressed with him and his team. I went to 4 consultations for veneers and Dr. Ahrabi was the only one to do a full exam of my transferred X-rats and mouth. He pointed out some issues on my X-ray that were of concern to him. Instead of just trying to sell em $20K veneers like all of the other doctors he wanted to fix the issues and offered me a MUCH less expensive option that would conserve my teeth. He is very patient and thorough and really takes his time explained the details and rationale behind his thinking. I have never felt strongly enough about a dentist to write a review on one but I certainly do now. read more

Just relocated to the area and found this dental center. Dr. Ahrabi is phenomenal. He pays attention to lots of details that are invisible to other dentists. I brought my family here for regular dental checkup and it became a life-changing experience to us. The staff there are courteous, friendly and professional. What is really amazing is that they are fast and effective. I am impressed that they work as a team to bring out the best service to their patients. Every time I visit the office, I feel that I am in good hands of a great team. Highly recommend this dental center. read more

Dr. Ahrabi always does a great job with my kids' exams. Recently he filled two cavities on my son, taking care of both teeth in one appointment. The staff is always cheerful and friendly. Thank you. read more

Dr. Ahrabi and his friendly staff made me feel comfortable and at home while I was there. The dental hygienist gave me great advice and Dr. Ahrabi always listens to what I have to say. I love coming here so much that my family will now be going there as well. I highly recommend this wonderful and caring office to anyone! read more

I would give 0 stars if I could. The person who interviewed me was extremely negative and had a massive ego. He asked me where I see myself in one year. I gave an honest answer and expressed my interest in the business. He immediately discussed how it would be a waste of time to invest in me and then told me to leave. I was highly confused and have never experienced anything like this. The person was late for the interview, which only lasted one minute after I waited for 30 minutes. I was extremely dissatisfied with this experience to say the least. I would never recommend someone to work for this employer or invest in this business as a patient. read more

My experience left me in such shock it has taken over two weeks before I was calm enough to leave a review. I am still walking around with an infected tooth that needs to be pulled because of my experience. I called ahead for some basic costs and asked about financing. The person I spoke to said that they had a company they worked with for financing I could go through, but they didn't do their own financing. In spite of my dentist sending them my X-rays for about a week prior, they insisted on taking more X-rays and pictures. By the way, they said I needed to pay $99 for the exam no matter what. He did find it necessary to ask me questions about my medical history, but as far as an exam - well - let's just say if he did a full exam, he would have found other dental needs. He then took me in his office and suggested that if I were to get an implant later on, I should do a bone graft, which I declined. I then went back to the dental chair waiting to finally have my tooth pulled, but instead someone else came in with the bill. When I mentioned that I wanted to go through financing, she said that I needed to do that ahead of time. Remember, I called ahead? And how do I set up financing when I don't know how much the charge will be until after my appt. Trying to "briefing" this, I kindly asked them if they could call the company to see how quickly they could get my financing approved, but they wouldn't even make a simple call. I was trying to find a solution so I could get my tooth pulled and not have to get the application filed and approved and come back another day. After much back and forth with the dentist trying to convince me that they were trying to help, I finally got him to verbalize "that unless I paid them upfront, he was not going to pull my tooth!! I even called the finance company from their lobby, who did say they could get an approval fairly quickly, but when I said the dentist office had not started the application process, they said they couldn't help me!!! I was in shock when I left the office an hour later with my infected tooth still in my mouth. He also left me stuck with needing to go somewhere else, who will most likely want to charge me for another appointment. read more

This dentist is the best dentist my family has ever had. He treats his patients with care and really does care about your health and your teeth for the future and for now. My mom doesn't let any doctor touch her teeth because they're so sensitive but not when it comes to this doctor. She thinks he is great. I also can agree. He makes the experience of going to a dentist the best one. I had to use the restroom in the middle of a procedure and he was so nice and understanding. His dental assistant is so sweet as well. It is obvious that they're not there just to take your money but really give you the time and knowledge you need. I would recommend everyone to him. He is a great and trusting doctor. read more

Dr. Arhabi and his staff are considerate, conversational, and professional. I travel 10 miles to the dentist because of the trust I have for him. read more

Dr. Ahrabi and his staff continue to provide professional, courteous, thorough, personal, and, believe it or not, downright enjoyable service. No need for "sedation" dentistry here. The environment (facility, background music, and people) provide all the relaxation anyone could want. -- Lou K. read more

I always impressed by Dr Ahrabi's patients and his very down to earth ways of explaining what's going on. I first went to him as a recommendation from my sister. He took pictures of all my teeth and showed me the botch job that my previous dentist did. I was having tooth pains from that same tooth and he explained to be that it was not filled in properly and that's why I am still sensitive. I love that he compared it to his own dental photos! He got me estimates for everything! And they take care credit! They are so easy and flexible with my crazy schedule he even saw me on a weekend once! He always tells his assistant that he tortured me and to go easy on me - am sure he says it to everyone. What I didn't expect was for the assistant to do such a wonderful job it felt like a massage! I actually fell asleep for a few minutes while she was polishing. I love that he also uses the floss.... cause I never use it. I moved to Maryland and still traveled 1.5 hours to see him - he is that wonderful. And it was a breeze to cancel my appointment when I got bitten by a dog in the face and was so swollen I couldn't open my mouth. They continued to remind me to get my cleaning after I forget several months after healing. read more

The best dentist I have ever been too. He does an amazing job and knows his schooling as a dentist. Has great work ethic and an amazing staff read more

Do NOT go here! Looking for an in-town dentist I came here. They told me I had eight cavities-over $1,000 out of pocket (even with 90% insurance coverage) and kept pushing to make the appointments to fill them right away. Knowing there was no way this could be possible, I saw a dentist from my hometown that I trusted over the holiday and I didn't have a single cavity. Explaining to the trusted dentist the situation, he couldn't believe someone would say I had those cavities. I cannot accurately put into words how frustrating it was to go to Oakton Dental Center. read more

I've been going to Dr. A for years and he is the best Dentist I've ever had. He has fixed issues that my previous dentist had screwed up and done so with great care and honesty. I can also say that Dr. A will do whatever it takes to make sure you have as little pain during the process and does his best to make sure you are comfortable during your visit. Last time he even filled a little rough spot I had from previous work free of charge. As with any visit to a Doctor or Dentist make sure your insurance is In-Network, I've never had problems with huge out of pocket expenses. read more

Having worked for several other dentists and knowing a great deal about insurance and x-rays and the dentistry business in general, I was referred to Dr. Ahrabi by an orthodontist. I was seen in his cozy office, by nice friendly staff. The cleaning and x-rays were taken, and physical pictures of my teeth. The doctor took the time to go over all the pictures and recommendations, show me on x-rays why teeth needed to be treated and costs were thoroughly discussed with me and my insurance coverage. It was by far the best over-all exam I've ever had. He checked for cancer, my mouth throat and gums. Discussed options for gum treatment. He showed me places on the x-rays that other dentists have missed and explained why some fillings needed to be replaced. When he actually worked on my teeth, it was painless and he was very gentle and explained procedures. He's not the fastest dentist, but he is the most thorough, caring and precise. His work has been simply perfect. I've never had to go back in for an adjustment after a filling and my gums and teeth are finally HEALTHY. Thank you to Dr. Ahrabi and his awesome staff! read more

Very happy with this dental office. Dr. Ahrabi and staff are great. I have been to many dentists and he is the only one I trust fully. Easy to get appointments. Never had billing issues. A+ all around. read more

Dr. Ahrabi was meticulous as always. I like the new email reminder system and "save the date" for the next appt!

I went to Dr Ahrabi at Oakton Dental Center for the first time last week. There were very few reviews of him online (all were 5 out of 5) but the office is so convenient for me, I decided to try it out anyways. I am so happy with my choice. My first impressions were great: the receptionist was very sweet, the office was clean and comfortable, and there was no wait! When I went back for my cleaning Dr. Ahrabi was very friendly and warm but also very professional and knowledgeable. They have the newest technology which included digital x-rays that were transferred on screen immediately and digital photos of my teeth that he used to show on-screen each of my dental issues up close and explain what we needed to do to correct them. I would definitely recommend Oakton Dental to friends and I am going back for my follow-up work. read more

Another wonderful visit to Oakton Dental Center. Dr. Ahrabi is truly one of the best and the reason I travel to Oakton from Loudoun County to have my teeth cleaned! He is personable, knowledgeable and professional. I can always rely on their office for timely reminders and friendly, efficient service. read more
