Chris D.

Anyone ever get told that they were going to Disney World when they're a kid and your parents ended up taking you to the Dentist? No? Maybe my parents were just jerks then. But this place is kinda magical. They have a play area for kids and the rooms are brightly colored and fun. The staff is friendly and can handle a freaking out 5 yo. They also install TVs on the ceiling so the kids can watch while they get their teeth cleaned. My son is kinda panicky when it comes to this but they caught his queues and adjusted. Awesome staff.

Tv in ceiling so kids can look up.

Love this place for kids! Everyone is super kid friendly. They make it as fun as possible for kids to feel comfortable. I will be going back.

I have a child has anxiety issues. To say that they are TERRIFIED of dentists is an understatement. We have been to many, and have finally found our home. I contacted Smileland, and had a discussion about my child before we came in for an appt. This place is definitely for children, in fact as soon as you walk through the door there are things in place to make your child feel at ease. We had the pleasure of working with both Carmen and Dr. Arpi. Because I warned them ahead of time of her fears, they spent time to building a rapport and a sense of trust with my child prior to doing anything to her. With each step, they explained to her what was going to happen next. Needless to say, during the exam they found out that she had to have something done immediately. So we came back for another appt the following week. She had both Carmen and Dr. Arpi again, and put her mind at ease while they extracted a tooth. I could not believe that the child who would have full blown anxiety attacks with other dentists, felt so at ease at this establishment. It was wonderful. They are wonderful and very kind. I am so pleased to have finally found a home for my children to get proper dental care.

All smiles over here!

We are beyond grateful to have found Dr. Kafle and her amazing assistant, Patty. After a truly…read moredisappointing experience at a pediatric dentist in Chevy Chase, we sought out three additional opinions for our daughter's dental issue. The moment we visited Dr. Kafle's practice in Silver Spring, MD, we knew we had found the right place. Dr. Kafle was honest, knowledgeable, and professional--and above all, it was clear she genuinely cares about her patients. Patty did an outstanding job helping our young daughter feel at ease both before and during her crown procedure. Dr. Kafle patiently answered all of our questions and went above and beyond to ensure our daughter experienced as little discomfort as possible. Even the front desk staff were incredibly informed and attentive--something we sadly didn't encounter at the Chevy Chase office. Thank you to Dr. Kafle and her wonderful team for turning what could've been a stressful situation into such a positive and reassuring experience!

Please never take your child here. I took my daughter here about a year ago. Her first appointment…read morewas okay I was told nothing but to have her floss more. When her second appointment came around (6 months later) Dr.Kalfe said my daughter had 8 cavities without even doing an x-ray. When I questioned how she could have gotten 8 cavities in 6 months she sold me only two were bad enough to be filled, the others she would continue to "watch" I made an appointment to have them filled and something told me to get a second opinion. My daughter soon went to another dentist that did not see a single cavity that needed to be filled. Just one small one on her baby tooth that would be falling out soon. A year later and still no cavities! I don't know if this was a money grab or if this lady is a bit prejudice but I would never trust her opinion.

Their customer service is unmatched and their attention to detail and just covering everything I am so excited for my children to finally get the proper dental care and education.

I really appreciated the follow up cause in constantly checking back in until everything was needed prior to the appointment. It really helped me stay organize and focus and to show up at an appointment having everything is such a stress, relief and I give credit to the office staff for being on top of everything and helping work with me and get it all together.

There has been decent turnover in her staff recently and insurance can be an issue. Like other reviews say, she speaks really quickly using technical terms. In her unclear technical terms, she referred us to an orthodonist and sent us down a rabbit hole that resulted in days of lost time and ultimately, an overnight non-conclusive sleep study. When I followed-up with her on this, without reviewing any of the medical notes, she immediately referred us to another provider. I take all potentially complicated dental issues to another dental provider and just come here for regular, easy check-ups and cleanings which she is pretty good at and are covered by my insurance. Her location is really convenient.

Lessly and Katherine were very welcoming and Dr. Shin always takes time to explain treatment…read moreoptions.

A Truly Exceptional Experience with Dr. Shin…read more As a nurse with 17 years of experience in procedures and sedation, I've seen my fair share of medical scenarios, but Dr. Shin stands out as one of the best examples of what healthcare should be. My 22-month-old son had a traumatic fall that caused damage to his upper front teeth. Two local dentists recommended pulling the three remaining teeth out immediately, and were dismissive of the need for X-rays, insisting that a child of his age would never sit still for an X-ray and that delaying the extractions could harm his permanent teeth. The plan was to restrain him, inject lidocaine (which I know from personal experience is always painful), and pull the teeth out. I wasn't comfortable with that approach. As a nurse who works with children, I've seen how painful procedures can create lasting fear of medical professionals, and I didn't want that for my son. After exhausting other options, I found Dr. Shin and her team. From the moment we walked into her office, Dr. Shin's approach was a breath of fresh air. She immediately engaged with my son, offering toys and creating a welcoming, trust-filled environment. Dr. Shin suggested taking an X-ray, which other offices had told me wasn't possible with a toddler. It showed that while there was a small chance the teeth would need to come out later if future X-rays show a developing infection, it wasn't urgent, and pulling all of them right away wasn't necessary. I was relieved to hear there was time to consider our options. Dr. Shin explained that one tooth did, in fact, need to be removed soon. She laid out two options for us: The first option involved general anesthesia with an anesthesiologist, who comes to the office once a month. However, as a nurse who starts IVs in children, I know how traumatic receiving an IV can be for a child. The second option, which we chose, was a thoughtful and humane approach. Dr. Shin suggested giving my son a weight-based dose of midazolam, a mild sedative that made him relaxed and sleepy. This allowed him to accept nitrous oxide (laughing gas) with ease, further helping him relax. To minimize pain, she applied a topical numbing agent to his gums before any lidocaine was injected--a step no other office had considered. Thanks to this careful, methodical approach, my son remained calm and comfortable throughout the entire visit. There were no tears, and I'm pretty sure (especially since he could watch his favorite show on the ceiling from the procedural chair), he didn't even realize the tooth had been pulled! Dr. Shin's compassion, skill, and dedication to providing the least traumatic experience possible for children are unparalleled. She took the time to ensure my son's experience was as positive as it could be--focusing not just on the procedure but on his emotional and physical comfort. As a nurse who works with children undergoing medical procedures, I can tell you that it takes a special person to balance decisiveness with gentleness, and to be both quick and patient when necessary. Dr. Shin does all of that, and more. I can't recommend her highly enough. She truly exemplifies the best of what pediatric dentistry can be.
