I've had cavity-prone teeth all my life, with every tooth in my mouth having some kind of filling or crown. I'm 60 now and have been going to Dr. Rye for the past few years, where my first experience was to have a couple of root canals performed. After those were completed I noticed a significant reduction in the headaches I had been having, confirming for me that dental health does affect other areas of your health/well-being. I subsequently had extensive cosmetic work done (which was the real reason I went to Dr. Rye in the first place) and the results are beautiful. He is a perfectionist. I am now in the process of having some periodontal work done. In all procedures, Dr. Rye is extremely patient, takes his time to explain what he is doing and why, and gives you the information you need to make decisions. He is extremely expert in the technical aspect of dentistry but has an equally keen artistic eye for the cosmetic aspect. He has a real passion for his work and sincerely wants his patients to be happy with the results. With all his expertise and knowledge, Dr. Rye still takes the time to listen to, and accommodate, my concerns. Dr. Rye's services seem a little pricey (although I haven't checked around, so they may well be in line with other dentists in the area), but the costs are explained up front AND you definitely get what you pay for - and more. The entire staff is friendly, professional and proficient at what they do, and I've always had the sense they enjoy their work and enjoy being a part of Dr. Rye's practice. I highly recommend Dr. Rye. read more

For several years my daughter had encouraged me to see Dr. Rye. I hesitated as I had my own dentist that I had been seeing for many years and did not want to change. After losing several teeth I made an appointment to see Dr. Rye, again at the encouragement of my daughter who stated that I was not getting the proper care. I was very upset and embarrassed, you see I had always had a beautiful smile and now it was gone. I felt that nothing could be done to bring it back, but I made the call anyway. I cannot begin to tell you how very happy I am to have made that call. I was welcomed by a very professional and caring staff. I found that I had many other problems than just a loss of teeth. My hygenist worked with me for many months to clear up a very bad problem with gum disease and infection whch had caused the loss of my teeth along with other problems. I met with Dr. Rye who I found to be very professional, caring, kind, and gentle. After studying my case during my treatments he stated that he could bring back the smile I once had. I have had several implants which have healed nicely and soon wll be in the process of placing the new teeth along with several crowns. I am so excited to see the end result. Dr. Rye has made a huge difference in my life, not only by restoring my smile but by giving me back my self confidence. I love Dr. Rye! Dorothy McKinney read more

What can I say about Dr. Rye and his staff? I was looking for a good dentist to replace my 2 front crowns that were bothering me a lot because they were very old and gotten black in color. I was browsing the web and Dr. Rye's name came up , he had a great review and he was rated one of the best cosmetic dentist in the D.C metropolitan area. I called them and to my surprise they got me in very quickly to have a consultation with Dr.Rye. A nice lady by the name Cerpel welcomed me in the office and took a lot of pictures of my crows. She was very knowledgable and explained everything to me. Then I met Dr. Rye, he was very pleasant and very friendly, he also explained everything to me and assured me that by the time he is done nobody will even tell the difference. Here I am 3 weeks later after all the work is done, I am so happy with my teeth, he did an excellent job, he did not rush the work, he took his time and made sure the color was perfect and it was. Thank you Dr. Rye for giving me back my smile and my confidence , I Would highly recommend him for anyone that needs cosmetic job on their teeth. read more

Andrew C. Dr. Rye and his team are to be admired setting the standard for all other Dentist to aspire to.. His clinical and technical knowledge afforded me options that I was unaware of resulting in a perfect outcome both in terms of appearance and cost . I will never forget it. I had just gotten home from a trip on a Friday .About 4 AM Saturday morning I developed a tooth ache and became nauseated and started running a fever do to the infection.. At 7AM I called Dr. Rye's afterhours hotline... to my surprise he called me back in 10 Minutes from the time I placed the call Dr. Rye assessed the situation and prescribed an antibiotic ...Sounds rather routine except for the fact i wasn't even his patient at that time .....Dr. Rye knew i was suffering and took immediate action...... Dr. Rye also is known for his kindness and charitable acts....every year he volunteers his time and skill and provides Dental care in Third World Countries in support of Doctors Without Boarders... I have recommend Dr. Rye to my family and friends read more

I just returned home after extensive dental work. I really have to thank everyone at Dr. Ryes's office, from Dawn at the the front desk, Meagan in billing, Serpel the dental assistant and most importantly Dr Rye himself. They have been very accommodating with me, due to some health issues in my family, and are always so genuine, sincere and honest. Dr Rye is a true perfectionist and never makes you feel uncomfortable for asking him to tweak this or that. He wants you to be happy with your teeth, from the color, shape, proportions etc. Since everyone has a different idea of what they want their teeth to look like, Dr. Rye does everything to try to make you 100% happy. He is also one of the most trained and skilled dentists that you will likely ever find. He has undergone a lifetime of extra training and degrees. I highly recommend this practice for general density, but if you need any complicated or cosmetic work, as I did, then this is definitely the place for you to go. read more

Today: i have just left Dr. Rye's office for a normal cleaning/checkup with Lou and Dr. Rye... as always, went perfectly. Lou is fantastic, fun and efficient. Dr. Rye also took the time to check on the procedure I just had described below.... two separate visits in about 10 days... not typical as I don't have many issues due to their first class support. About 10 days ago.. I had a recent need for an emergency action on a broken tooth. Turns out this was on a Friday morning and Dr. Rye's office is supposed to be closed.. I left an emergency message for them, and Dawn called me back in minutes. She contacted Dr. Rye and he and what seemed like the entire support crew was at the office when I arrived. They saw me, examined and did xrays, and coordinated an oral surgeon to take care of me... it was very nice to have such a supportive, capable, and willing team behind me! And on a day with the office was closed! Thanks to all of you! First class operation. read more

Four years ago in my search on line to find a dentist closer to home, I happened upon Dr. Rye's Smile for Life web page. His credentials, testimonials and awards were impressive to read, and I immediately called for an initial consultation appointment. It was pure delight to meet Dr. Rye - a man who not only was genuinely and sincerely dedicated, but was someone who had a very calming, caring, and gentle nature - assuring me that my personal needs and comfort were of greatest concern. Additionally, I was introduced to his office's state-of-the-art technologies, photo-imaging, and dental procedures - most of which were new to me. I opted for cosmetic reconstruction and reparation - which, surprisingly, was all completed in only two subsequent visits. Since then, I've been enjoying routine exams and teeth cleaning with Dr. Rye's extremely competent and warmly friendly Dental Hygienist. My smile is healthier and more beautiful than ever! read more

Dr. Rye is absolutely top notch -- he is extremely knowledgeable about the latest surgical practices and has the most wonderful, compassionate demeanor with patients. He is truly an expert and has taken the utmost care for my family and our dental health. His staff is extremely professional, friendly, and helpful and the hygienists are innovative and very knowledgeable as well. His office has the latest, most advanced technology and it's a calming experience to just walk through the doors! I can't recommend Dr. Rye more strongly -- he is absolutely the most professionally advanced medical provider I've seen. You NEED him to be your dental provider for anything from surgical procedures, to aesthetic dentistry, to basic dentistry and hygiene -- he is #1. read more

I moved to this area about 6 years ago. I went to a couple of dentists for problems with some crowns. They were replaced and then they had problems again. They wanted to replace one for the 3rd time. I did some research and found Dr Rye and made an appointment. They did a very intensive review of my teeth and presented a plan to get my teeth healthy. I had several implants and veneers done. My teeth are now healthy and my smile is so nice. I have received many compliments on my teeth and my medical doctors say I now have a healthy mouth. Dr Rye and his staff are professional, knowledgeable, and very nice and caring. It takes time and does cost, as insurance doesn't pay much, but the results are very valuable. read more

Today, I was worried, came in unannounced to see someone about a pain near an implant,Dawn was superb - as usual! - and I saw Yoselin and Dr. Lukitis in ten minutes - absolutely incredible!! Dr. Lukitis summed everything up right away and knew what antidote was warranted. Yoselin was there for me in another time of some disaster last May and I will never forget how wonderful she was to me. Dr. Rye - what can I say.... He is extraordinary and has done superior work for me ever since I had the great fortune of coming to him in September 2012. Dr. Rye is brilliant, humble, witty, fabulous and darling - I am so grateful, as is my husband, for this exceptional Dental Practice!! Bravo Bravo!!! read more

I saw Dr Rye for a new crown, I had been to another local dentist for a cap and he took so long to complete the proceedure, I was there for more than 3 hours, left with a temporary cap and this other dentist had an assistant that could not remove the water from my mouth fast enough, I felt like I was drowning. At Dr. Rye's the new crown took only 2 hours from start to finish! No temporary crown and no coming back! His assistant was so professional, courteous, and gentle. Dr. Rye's office is beautiful, his staff is wonderful, and the front office so helpful with my insurance questions. I will be going there for my cleaning and all my other work. read more

Dr. Rye and his staff are wonderful. I have the most beautiful smile due to the dental work he has done. Each time I go back for cleaning/check-ups, I am greeted by the friendly and professional staff. I have issues with claustrophobia, but Dr. Rye and his staff are so understanding and always help me through my anxiety. I convinced my husband to go to see him as he had some very bad dental work that caused him many problems. Dr. Rye took care of his issues and also identified some gum issues that Lou has been addressing for him. She is very good and also cleans my teeth. I can't imagine going anywhere else. read more

This practice is fantastic! I have the most sensitive teeth and gums from ongoing chemotherapy, and Lou and Dr. Rye have worked with me to find a protocol for cleanings that work. I don't jump out of the chair anymore or the to kung fu whoever is working in my mouth. For the first time today in years, I didn't dread going to the dentist or have a panic attack in the parking lot before I walked in. My teeth are also slowly getting a little healthier. I highly recommend this office if you want that personal touch and want to be put at ease during appointments. I can't imagine ever going anywhere else. read more

I LOVE Dr. Rye! I switched jobs and my new job was outside DC, so I had to find a new dentist since my old one was just too inconvenient. Thankfully Dr. Rye is absolutely amazing. I was having what I thought was TMJ problems, but it turned out my bite just needed to be fixed. He did it on the spot and my jaw pain was gone within a matter of a few days. Plus, he helped me whiten my teeth before my wedding! His staff is also great. They're really friendly and you can tell they all get along with one another which makes it an even better place to go. I wish I had switched dentists sooner! read more

Dr Rye is the best in the business. I highly recommend his care to discerning dental patients. A top notch staff compliments the friendly atmosphere and competence of the doctor. I cannot recommend anyone more highly than Dr Rye. You will be very pleased with the facility, service, quality of care, and compassion that raise this practice above all others. As a former dental profesional, I am more aware than most of what goes into a truly extraordinary dental practice. Artistry, technical proficiency, and empathy all combine to make this office a remarkable place to receive care. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Rye and his staff for Invisalign treatments for several months now and I am almost finished with my aligners. I have also had my periodic cleanings/checkups conducted by his dental hygienist, Annie. I can not sing enough praises for Dr. Rye and his superior team! Their attention to detail far out suprasses anything I've experienced with any other dentists/orthodontists. His friendly staff truly cares about making sure that the patient's experience in the office is exceptional. You are not going to find a better dentist than Dr. Rye! read more

My husband and I became patients of Dr Rye's in 1986 when his practice was still fairly new. He came recommended to us from an out of town dentist. I have a fear of them that stems from a bad childhood dentist. Dr Rye and all of his staff over the years have been the kindest and gentlest people taking my fears into account. One thing I LOVE about him is how he encourages continuing education for his staff. They make me excited to care for my teeth, something I never had with any other office. And my teeth have never looked better because of it! read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Rye's now for at least ten years. His caring delivery of the highest technical level of the latest dental treatments has resulted in minimal dental problems over that time. My regular visits to the hygienists allows the Doc to regularly review my status and catch things before they get out of hand. As an aside; I learned from the hygienist that Dr. Rye has offered his services free to the local high school football team by fitting each player with a custom mouth guard. Just another example of the type of person he is. read more
