I specifically chose this office because I was told when scheduling that nitrous oxide (laughing…read moregas) would be available and used. That was a major factor for me. When I arrived, I was told they either wouldn't use it or "most likely" wouldn't be able to. That kind of last-minute change is not a small detail--it completely changes the experience for patients who rely on it. What concerned me more was the push toward procedures that didn't seem necessary. I was referred to an oral surgeon to remove a peg tooth that does not need to be removed, even after I clearly said I wasn't interested. It was still put on the referral anyway. I was also told I needed multiple crowns, but another dentist later confirmed those were not necessary. There were additional treatments presented in a way that made them seem required, which didn't sit right with me. Another issue was transparency. I was not walked through my x-rays or shown where any of these supposed problems were. Patients should absolutely insist on seeing and understanding their imaging before agreeing to treatment. There were also inconsistencies with insurance information. I was told my insurance wouldn't cover panoramic x-rays, but another dentist had no issue getting them covered. After my visit, I noticed similar concerns mentioned in other reviews, which unfortunately aligns with what I experienced. Between the inconsistent communication and questionable treatment recommendations, I left feeling very uneasy. I would strongly encourage anyone considering treatment here to get a second opinion before moving forward.

Everyone…read moreis friendly and they have weekend appointments so it makes it a difficult place to pass but I have finally learned to no longer consider them. Every time I have gone in, I am either solicited for an up-sell for a procedure - that they claim they can or have or will do, OR they send you out for a procedure because the dentist isn't comfortable. What IS actually done at this place? There always seems to be an excuse and I am so over this practice that I will go OUT of my way, even welcome a lengthier drive. There are a few new practices within a 6 mile radius, barely an inconvenience, but I'd happily drive 20 miles to avoid another WASTED day out of my life and sick days from work seeking dental work at this location. Moreover, they have the nerve to have me on a call & email list to remind me of annual services or that they haven't seen me in awhile, smh. Officially going on a block list. If I could, this ranting review would be laced with curse words. Seriously, WASTE OF TIME..always some bs excuse as to why they can't or are uncomfortable with [INSERT WHATEVER PROCEDURE HERE IT COULD LITERALLY BE ANYTHING].-other than a cleaning I suppose, so not "anything". This practice at this location can seriously DO ONE. Been waiting to use that expression, I feel like I nailed it.

I wrote a review yesterday, right after my visit ... and it disappeared into the ether, I guess!…read more LOL Making my appointment was easy and pleasant. That made me hopeful that the whole experience would be the same - and it was. From the friendly (though stressed) receptionist, to Dr. St. Martin herself, to Rose, the hygienist, and the alternate receptionist who set up my next appointment, they are the most welcoming and friendly staff I've ever met, yet still very professional. Dr. St. Martin was thorough in her explanation of the health of my teeth and mouth, and asked me a couple of times if I had any questions. As she left me so Rose could come and clean my teeth, she wished me well and again said, "If you have any questions or need anything, have them get me and I'll come back." Wha-a-a-t?!? So awesome. I have Kaiser, and the co-pay of $30 is very reasonable. They advise a panoramic x-ray on first visit, for an additional $43, which I declined. The ONLY downside, and it isn't their fault, is the major construction project happening on three sides of their small building. It really limits access and they are going to expand their parking once all the fences are gone. Speaking of parking, I advise if you're approaching from Royal Farms side, to just go past the business and turn around at a nearby spot like the All-American Steakhouse. I would NOT try to turn left into their parking lot! All in all, I am supremely glad I read about Dr. St. Martin elsewhere, and decided to give her a try. Excellent dentist and all around great experience. Bonus: if I had to, I could easily walk from home - it's just about a mile.

New year = 1st cleaning of the year…read more So I moved to the area and found Excite Dental via Google and WOW is all I have to say. As I was a new patient, as soon as I walked in staff was incredible from start to finish! Welcoming and super friendly. The entire office is SPECTACULAR and very luxurious. I thought I've never say those two things regarding a dental office but Dr Moon did a great job with everything interior wise and everything. As far as Dr Moon himself, he was VERY THOROUGH (which I love when a doctors are knowledgeable and takes their time in explaining) personable.

As soon as I entered the office, I was greeted with warm, smiling faces of Ruth and Monique at reception. Ruth took me on a tour of the office which is immaculate and has state of the art equipment, including a lab and sterile processing. It was obvious the rooms were designed with the patient's comfort in mind. A personalized greeting on a TV monitor on the wall as you enter the room, one on the ceiling, and comfortable exam chairs made me feel at ease. Like I was home. I'm not a fan of dental visits, but this office has changed my view. I was first taken to get x-rays done which was a smooth process. The cleaning came next. And when I tell you I had no pain afterwards! No lie! My hygienist was amazing! Very thorough and explained everything from start to finish. Dr. Moon came in and gave me a thorough exam and told me all I needed to know about the health of my teeth and gums. He was just as amazing as the rest of the staff. I'm so happy I came I to this office! I've found my new home dentist! Do not sleep on this place.

I submitted all of the necessary info and gave them 15 business days - they wouldn't answer when I called or call me back. I was FLOORED when I read the medical records! All lies!!!!! It was so expensive that we ended up w double dental coverage because they kept claiming all this crap was wrong w my daughters teeth!!! It averaged to $600 a Month for MONTHS!!! It was aLL THEIR FAULT. They filled 9 cavities on my daughter w a new provider. The new dentist didn't get along w her tech and it was so uncomfortable.

It's also weird that u go somewhere for your entire children's lives and they don't remember u or your kids .well they know me know.

It has only been within this year that we have run into scheduling problems. The office has cancelled appointments twice on me because "the hygienist wasn't going to be available that day" and then the next available appointment isn't for another 4-6 weeks. If we have needed a follow up appointment after a regular scheduled visit it can take that same 4-6 weeks to get another appointment. They do run pretty much on time and are efficient when you do arrive for an appointment. Plus they were able to get my husband in within 24 hours when he urgently needed to see a dentist which I did appreciate and gave them an extra star for that.

WARNING TO POTENTIAL PATIENTS & NORTHROP GRUMMAN EMPLOYEES…read more Be VERY wary of the amount of 5-star reviews you see on Google. Many of them are lacking in any details or descriptions of the procedures done and don't tell you anything much like Amazon reviews. It's almost like they're buying reviews. Jai Shin seems to hope you're naive enough to not question what they're doing in your mouth, especially if you've had bad oral history. I had been going to this place for around 4 years after I moved to Maryland, and at first it seemed fine with the cleanings and being told I had some cavities to fill. But then he mentioned I needed a root canal, which was the beginning of the end. This root canal hell spanned 2-3 years before I found peace and left for a better dentist: 1. The root canal procedure itself was very odd. I'm no stranger to root canals and I know for a fact Jai Shin didn't use a tooth dam to prevent my saliva and other contaminants from entering the exposed tooth or a magnifying glass apparatus to even see what he's doing in the back of my mouth. He was very casual and not completely focused on doing the root canal, and initial x-rays showed the biofilling PIERCED THROUGH MY GUM TISSUES before fixing it. My gut was telling me something was wrong, but I had excellent dentists in my life prior to this so I gave the benefit of the doubt. 2. The installed crown afterwards POPPED OFF during normal eating sessions only a couple of months after installation. My two 8 year old crowns have NEVER had this issue and they're still going strong to this day. It was poor cement adhesion explained away with poor excuses. 3. Almost a year later after the root canal procedure, it failed as I had a reinfection there again. Jai Shin told me it was rare/uncommon for this to happen, and yet there we were not even a year in, with bleeding and throbbing gums. They had then referred me to a periodontist that only had a slot to see me in a month, so I went with someone else that could see my issue sooner and the reports were not good. Then I got it checked by Sterling Endodontics and they confirmed it needed to be retreated, which they did PROPERLY the next day. 4. It was pointed out by the Perio that the prior crown that popped off was not giving full coverage over the tooth, leaving a gap for food to enter. The new crown creation by Jai Shin was a hassle and took a while to get it right, but at least now it seems like he actually put effort since he could probably sense I could see through his facade and was done with him. It doesn't end there though. A cavity that was found in my other molar was never mentioned by Jai Shin and caught by my new dentist who has since properly fixed it. Thankfully one of Jai's dental assistants made me aware of the potential of that cavity back then so I kept note of that. It would have become another root canal, and I suspect Jai was withholding this on purpose to ruin more teeth/get more money out of me. I am also very suspect of whether I really needed a root canal from Jai knowing what I know now. Another review here mentions he was lying to them about her child's teeth having cavities that needed to be done. Unfortunately for him, she worked with dentists and knew what to look for. And so, so, SO much more that can't fit in detail in this review. Billing issues that take months to resolve, rough administration of numbing shots, questionable crown applications, charging for Xrays and not doing enough Xrays at the same time vs endo and new dentist, his wife coming in with incorrect statements/assumption on my mouth instead of himself, etc... Jai Shin also seems to care a lot about his reviews instead of his service since early on he would spam people texts to leave reviews. I also noticed another reviewer mentioning that Jai Shin spoke to them at their next appointment regarding a review they left. In which case, hello. Do better, seriously. Don't be a Jensen Huang. If you've read through all of this, thank you for your time. I'm seriously trying to warn you of this dentist because I don't want people to suffer as much as I did.
