The procedure took three hours, but it flew by! I watched a movie, had a little nap, and played Jeopardy on my iPhone. There was some minor discomfort, but no actual pain while an "ancient" bridge was removed, cleaned out, and replaced with a beautiful new bridge! Dr. Sandhya Pal and her assistant, Julianna, are incredibly personable and professional, and I would recommend the Pal Family Dentistry practice without hesitation! From the moment Jan, the receptionist, greets you warmly, and throughout the procedure, you are in the hands of professionals! Dentistry can be pleasant! read more

Amazing dentist and I am glad I went. When she was going to put a crown on she discovered decay. That had been missed by other dentists. No wonder I was in pain. Love the staff and the dentists. Top notch!! read more

I'm new to this practice and was genuinely impressed from the moment I walked in. The facilities are spotless, modern, and have a fresh, welcoming feel -- not something you always expect from a dental office. The office staff, specifically Jan, and all the assistants were incredibly warm, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable. I felt well taken care of throughout all of my visits. Dr. Patel filled seven cavities over two appointments (yes, seven! Don't judge me!) and was absolutely masterful. His skill and bedside manner put me completely at ease. His assistant Julianna was incredibly sweet, efficient, and comforting. I had minimal pain/discomfort afterward, which honestly surprised me. So glad I found this practice -- highly recommend to anyone looking for high-quality, compassionate dental care. read more

The staff are friendly for the most part. They talk over you during the procedures which is awkward. Every cleaning they find something to fix. Never would they say all was fine. We hated that since we are avid about going every 6 months to the dentist. You are bumped between their offices and dentists. We did not like that either. We have now changed dentists due to these issues. read more

I have waited about 6 months to write this review. There were a few things that I didn't like about my experience at PAL Dentistry. The first is that the hygienist pushed me to get more x-rays then my insurance covered. At first I kept saying no, but she made it seem if I didn't get them she wasn't going to continue with the appointment. I figured paying for them would be easier than walking out and rescheduling with another dentist. Then Dr. Pal said I had 3 cavities and when she was talking to the hygienist they alluded to maybe more. I just came back from going to another dentist for my 6 month cleaning and was told I did not have 3 cavities, but that I should CONSIDER changing out one of my fillings. I hate to write this about a woman owned business, but just a warning that if you are told you have multiple cavities you should get a second opinion. read more

Oh my, where has this amazing dentist office been all my life? Dr. Pal couldn't be any more kind, down to earth, and professional. She also loves what she does, which makes it even better. I had a dental emergency right before a trip, and they went above and beyond to help. My temporary tooth looks real and stayed on for weeks. I strongly recommend this place. I also love that she isn't pushy and conservative about her choices and suggestions. read more

Highly reccomend this practice. Dr. Pal is one of those people who lights up the whole room; she absolutely radiates positive energy. A conversation with her truly feels like catching up with an old pal. (Pun very much intended) Her former partner/associate dentist, Dr. Borak, was much the same way. At first I was disheartened to learn Dr. Borak had left the practice earlier this year, but those feelings quickly dissipated upon meeting Dr. Pal. I know I am in great hands. She did not rush me at all during our visit, and genuinely listened to all my concerns and answered my questions thoroughly. She discussed all options but respected my preferences when it came to formulating a treatment plan. She didn't try to push anything on me that I didn't want, which speaks volumes about the type of Dentist she is and the type of practice she runs. I immediately came home and started gushing about the fantastic experience I had to my husband, and reccomended he book with Dr Pal, as he is well overdue for a dentist visit himself. Martha, the dental assistant, was also kind, professional, and made me feel very comfortable. She even remembered me from my last visit with Dr. Borak back in May! And last but not least, Jan, the office manager, is very courteous, professional, and not unpleasant to interact with, as some front desk staff tend to be. Many thanks to the 3 of you and everyone else who works at this practice who I haven't met yet, I appreciate you all. Happy Holidays! read more

Our family has had outstanding experiences here. The dentist and hygienists are excellent at their jobs--gentle, thorough, and accommodating. I never feel like they are trying to push unnecessary services or drag things out to make more money (which is the main reason we left our last dentist). The receptionists are also great. Everyone is incredibly friendly and really seems to care about us. Also, major points for not using that awful tar-like fluoride stuff other dentists insist on. It's unpleasant, poisonous, and unnecessary. read more

I've been here a few times over the years and they are by far the best dental practice I have ever been to. They do amazing work and everyone is professional and polite. I highly recommend coming here! read more

Dr. Pal is the best dentist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. From her bedside manner, to her gentle technique she and her team are awesome. The fact that she is a third generation dentist, helped me make my choice to book my first appointment. After the first appointment, the genuine caring of everyone kept me coming back. read more

Pal Family Dentistry and their sister location Reston Station Dental have been exceptional. My wife and I have used this dental practice for a while now and we have nothing but praise for the care we have received. Everyone including the receptionist have been great to work with. The hygienists are gentle and the dentists have been amazing. My most recent visit required a crown/cap on a tooth. One of the reasons we chose this practice was because they offer same day crowns/caps with a technology called CEREC. CEREC allows everything to be done in one dave vs multiple visits. Rich was the dental assistant and I must say that without a doubt, he is the most talented expert in CEREC imaging I have ever experienced at any dental practice. Dr. Flexsenhar was the dentist who perform the work today and I found her to be very caring, especially for someone like me who has a HUGE FEAR of the dentist. The whole team works exceptionally well together and I have nothing but praise for their care. We highly recommend this dental practice! We would give them 10 stars if we could. read more

If you are nervous, or have kids, or sensitive teeth, this is the place. You'll be in good hands. Dr. Pal has been my dentist, and my wife's dentist, and our kids' dentist for many years. She has done fillings, cleanings, and a number of treatments on me over the years. Dentists don't get better than her. She is as gentle, friendly, and reassuring as they come. I cannot recommend her highly enough. read more

Pal Family Dentistry - She is so funny! - General Dentistry Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Have been here twice in the last year and always have an excellent experience. Couldn't ask for more pleasant folks to clean my teeth first thing in the morning. read more

They had really nice chairs in the waiting room and a good selection of TV shows. The people were also super nice and they had very good flavors of fluoride. read more

Dr. Pal is my dentist now and I'm so lucky to have found her. She had her work cut out for her when we first met, and I'm so thankful for her careful and methodical approach. I've also chipped my front tooth twice, each on the Friday before a holiday weekend, and Dr. Pal was so generous to see me ASAP to fix it. The hygienists are wonderful, friendly, professional and thorough. I am about a month over-due for a cleaning and long overdue for this positive review. You'll see me soon, guys! Thanks again. read more

I really enjoyed my visit today. Dr. Pal was gentle and made sure I was comfortable . All my questions and concerns were addressed. She always made sure she provided me with information that aill help me keep my teeth and gums health until our next meeting ;) read more

Had my teeth cleaned and the dental hygienist was professional and pleasant and made my treatment go by in a flash. Dr. Pal was as friendly and thorough as always while checking my teeth. I was pleased that this time I had no cavities! Would highly recommend this practice! Cecilia Domeyko read more

I would never go back. I read reviews and went there but looks like they are no good. They like to over treat even when there is no problem. Beware guys. read more

Tooth broke at dinner Friday evening. Called and left a message. Dr Pal returned my call in 15 minutes! Opened the office over the weekend. Great service. read more

I took my 21 month old daughter in for her first ever dentist visit today. Pal Family dentistry was great and really caters to children. My daughter definitely didn't want to show Casey her teeth, but she was so patient and good with her that she finally got a peek. Dr. Pal was gentle and patient. We will definitely be back! read more

Write now I'm under surgery I will continue my review later. But I will highly recommend this place.

If you are looking for a dentist, you cannot find anyone better than Dr. Sandya Pal. Our whole family goes to her. We've moved from the area and travel 2 hours just to keep her as our dentist. She is patient, knowledgeable, and understanding. If you hate going to the dentist (like everyone in my family), please give her a try. she will change your mind about dentists. read more

Dr. Pal and her staff are the best! Such a warm and friendly environment. You will feel at ease and lose any fear of the dentist with this team. The office is impressive with a very high-tech dental experience. I love everything about this place! read more

Since switching to Pal Family Dentistry, I look forward to my visits. They can make crowns while you wait (and it's not that long a wait either!). Kind staff and no lectures -- only encouragement -- when we haven't flossed as often as we should. read more

Loved my visit. The staff was warm and friendly. So kind and offered tons of encouragement. I enjoyed my cleaning and looking forward to the next one. read more

Best dentist ever! My kids absolutely love Dr. Pal - she is so gentle and always has a sunny disposition. She does amazing work - always keeping up with the latest technology and procedures. read more

This is the best dentist ever! They truly care about your health and make you feel very comfortable. I love being able to watch Netflix while getting my dental work done! read more

Amazing dental practice - I would recommend PAL to anyone!! Crowns are made in-house so no waiting - and the results are awesome!

This is a very talented group of people lead by the best Dentist in town. Most of the employees at work go to her. Very positive people that take the fear out of dentistry. read more

I would not recommend Pal Family Dentistry for any complicated dental work. Dr. Pal is very charming and is very proud of her practice and the fact she can make her own crowns in the office is something she communicates well and often with her patients. I went for an appointment to simply replace the old crown with a new one. I specifically asked if she would also touch the filling. Dr. Pal said, my filling was intact and did not need fixing. Once the procedure was complete, she told the front desk clerk, she did work on my filling, which cost me an extra out of pocket expense. It has been 8 months since the procedure, I still cannot eat on that side of my mouth. I don't want to go back to Dr. Pal again fearing she will perform dental work that I don't need. It is similar to asking a programmer to fix one problem and face additional issues with your software due to the lack of thorough evaluation of requirements. read more

Dr. Sandhya Pal and her staff are extremely professional and courteous. The office is beautifully and soothingly decorated, and is very child-friendly. They have massaging exam chairs and Netflix to watch as you're being worked on. I am a new patient there and have already been recommending them to everyone. Dr. Pal and her hygenists are very thorough and knowledgeable, and the cleaning didn't hurt at all, even though it had been at least 5 years since my last dentist visit. They are even letting me bring my toddler for a "toddler tour" so she can get comfortable and familiar before she goes for her first exam ever. I am very happy with them. read more

This staff is fantastic! When I arrived they had suffered a gas leak and so my appointment was delayed and the office was cold. Being on a tight schedule I was slightly annoyed. As soon as I met Julianna her warmth made my frustrations vanish. Then came Dr Pal...just genuine kind folks. I felt like I was hanging out with my girlfriends except there was fluoride and not Pinot Noir! Great dental visit. read more

Just had a check up at a new dentist I went to. Dr Pal and Casey are amazing, can't believe I didn't find them sooner. Top notch you will love them. read more

I think I've found my new dentistry! Staff here are EXTREMELY friendly! I was lucky that they were able to schedule me a same day appointment even though their online scheduler indicated nothing was available until two days later. I was a bit nervous at first since its been a while since I've had my last dentist appointment but my hygienist made me feel at ease. She explained everything to me in detail so I understood what was happening step by step and even answered most of my questions before I even had to ask! I also loved the fact that she provided me different options and made it clear that some procedures would not be completely covered by my insurance before taking actions to start the procedure. By the time I finished my appointment I felt like I had a brand new set of teeth AND felt confident in knowing the ballpark I was paying out of pocket for. This experience definitely did not disappoint, I have already scheduled my next appointment! read more

The best dentist I've every been too! Professional and precise. It is not often you find a dentist that you love going to for your visits.

Dr. PAL is wonderfully friendly and her office is so very nice...but I have to share that she wanted to fill cavities that are probably not actually there. She found nine "cavities" in my teeth which she recommended filling; I was suspicious since I had not had any at my previous appointment with a dentist in a different state, and when I pushed her she admitted some were "pre-cavities." Fast-forward 8 months and I decide to go for my next cleaning/check-up at a different office, simply picking one with good reviews so as to not bias for a dentist who has a less aggressive treatment philosophy. I don't mention anything to the new dentist about my experience with Dr. Pal; he has the very same x-rays she did, which I forwarded from her office--he finds NO cavities to be filled. At this point I mention a previous dentist had found several--he explains the spots she was seeing on the x-rays are calcium depletions from my recent pregnancy that will likely improve, and while something to keep an eye on, not a reason to start drilling holes in my teeth (his words). I almost hate to share this experience because Dr. Pal is so nice, but I hope people will pause before following an aggressive treatment plan that she proposes. read more

I can not say I love going to the Dentist, but I was very impress. Pretty much painless including getting Novocain shot. Didn't even feel it. I will not hesitate recommending the practice. read more

The cleaning seemed to be done very thoroughly. The hygenist was very professional. As always, the office runs efficiently and everyone there is very pleasant and friendly. We especially appreciate the professional way that Jan handles insurance. read more

Dr. Pal and Dr. Casey along with their team of skilled hygienist are fantastic. All the staff at Pal Family Dentistry make me and my family feel welcome and put us all at ease with their gentle and caring demeanor. Their office is modern and comfortable. I would definitely recommend them for all dental issues. Jan, the office assistant, is great. read more

Visiting several other dentists in the past left me to believe that they all claim to be "pain-free" and sensitive to those of us who don't like to go the the dentist, and yet none of them really are. Through the years I'd developed a literal fear of dentists and dental work. Not anymore! Dr. Pal and her lovely staff have created a safe space for patients like me. Not only am I no longer afraid, I welcome these visits since my teeth have never been better and this team of professionals has taken exquisite care of me and my nerves. I cannot say enough about Dr. Pal. I trust her implicitly and will never, ever go to another dentist. She really is that good. She is passionate about her work, and she possesses the ability to genuinely care for her patients and their well-being. The practice has cutting edge technology (one visit for a new crown!) and gentle, thorough, kind techs who emulate the positive, caring vibe of this office. I would recommend this practice to anyone (and frequently do.) read more
