I ended up paying a large bill for treatment that would be covered if they did the treatment on separate days. The office was very difficult and unprofessional to deal with and gave me the run around. They just rack up as many things as they can to pad the bill. I still am not sure they even did the costly procedure. My insurer said it is impractical that both billed procedures are done the same day. Which is why they don't cover it if done the same.

This has been my family's regular dental office for quite a few years. Initially I was very…read moreimpressed with the facility and we had no issues. 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.

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.

I went to Angelou Dental for jaw pain. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The dentist gave me a…read morethorough physical exam and told me that he suspected sleep apnea was behind my jaw pain. He offered me a take-home sleep study that cost $250 out-of-pocket, which I completed. When the results came back, the dentist told me I had moderate sleep apnea, despite being unable to provide a doctor-signed copy of the study. The dentist explained the seriousness of the condition and mentioned two options: an orthodontic device and a CPAP machine. I was more open to trying the orthodontic option first. Communication from the office about insurance coverage for the device felt delayed. I also felt pressured to pay for this treatment upfront and out-of-pocket, without a clear idea of what my insurance would cover. When I voiced financial concerns and suggested waiting for more clarity from my insurance company, the dentist mentioned CareCredit. I experienced this as pressure to commit to a high-cost treatment without full financial transparency. The conflicting information - that I should not wait for treatment, but that the treatment offered no guarantee of success - left me questioning whether my medical and financial interests were being prioritized. Ultimately, I decided not to move forward with the orthodontic treatment. At that point, the issue for me was not the need for treatment but the way I felt pressured into an immediate, high-cost option before confirming my insurance benefits. So, I contacted my insurance company to check the status of the prior approval claim I believed the office had submitted on my behalf, but my insurance company told me they had no record of anyone from Angelou Dental reaching out to them. I waited awhile then called the insurance company back to check again, but there was still no record of any contact from the dental office. At that point, I sought care from an ENT. My insurance covered the take-home sleep study from the ENT office, and when the sleep study results came back, the ENT told me I was nowhere close to having even very mild sleep apnea. I didn't believe her at first, but she insisted I didn't need any treatment for sleep apnea. I feel relieved I don't have sleep apnea, but I'm frustrated that I'm still struggling with unresolved jaw pain, which was the only reason I visited Angelou Dental in the first place.
