    Definitely not a great new patient experience. It was strongly recommended I get a deep clean which…read morethe front desk said was covered by my insurance with a portion I needed to pay out of pocket. So I paid the out of pocket of $350 and did the cleaning. Two months later they said the insurance actually won't cover it and I owe another $550. Typically there is more transparency if you're taking a gamble with the insurance company and you may have to pay more. The insurance company denied the claim because there was no evidence of the cleaning needed....so why was it presented to me as critical? It's beyond frustrating to put your trust in a new medical professional and then feel like you're oversold for them to make a profit from either the insurance company or the patient individually.

    Been seeing Dr. Caligan since BEFORE he opened this practice for routine care, extractions,…read morefillings and crowns. He has always been top notch. This time around he and his staff went above and beyond to get 2 old crowns replaced (due to decay beneath) within a VERY SHORT timeline due to my travel abroad and my dental cobra insurance expiring at months end. Then I got COVID, so had to compress this timeline even further. His whole team facilitated all of this! The office staff are helpful, friendly and EFFICIENT! I drive there from Fairfax City and there are plenty of dental practices closer, but I am sticking with Dr.Caligan and Braddock Dental.

The office staff worked to double and triple check with my insurance what my payments would be for the work done. What originally was anticipated to be hundreds of dollars ended up being less than 100, which I appreciated. Good location, clean office, easy parking. Be warned: your appointment will be at least 30 minutes late. Plan accordingly if you need to be back at work or somewhere else.

    AVOID THIS PLACE! BELIEVE THE ONE STAR REVIEWS! This is not the same Floss and Smile, the new…read moredentists/office management are unprofessional and predatory. They don't care about the health of your teeth; they just will find problems to fix. During my 6-month cleaning on 10/30/25 I was told two of my teeth (previous work done by Dr. Townes) now needed two crowns. They really pushed to get me back in asap because it was 'urgent', but the earliest I could make was 11/5/25. Day of, my appointment was for 11am but I didn't leave till after 3pm. It was such an awful experience. I kept having to answer the same questions about previous dental work to different dentists and assistants, even though I've been a patient for 6+ years. Once the old fillings were removed, an x-ray was taken. They found a new cracked tooth and said I needed a third crown. How did they miss a cracked tooth during my cleaning a week prior? Then they tried to upsell me on crown lengthening, which Dr. Townes has never done on my previous crowns. On top of that, was told my insurance might not cover the cost of the crowns if they submit the crown lengthening to insurance so I would likely pay out of pocket for either the crowns or the crowning lengthening. If I didn't have two gaping holes in my mouth, I would have walked out at this point. Told them no, only do the two crowns. They still sent someone from billing to show me the estimate even after I said no. After all of this chaos, I STILL had to wait for the crowns to be made and didn't get the crown lengthening procedure. These same day crowns are not convenient as claimed! They have a gritty texture feel like temporary crowns. Would give zero stars if I could.
