There are exactly ZERO instances where you want to visit a root canal specialist but, if you find…read moreyourself in such a scenario, ARCS is where you should land. After being in pain all weekend, I made an emergency dentist appointment that resulted in a referral to ARCS. The office offered to call for me and I was told I could come right then. For context, my dentist appointment was at 3:20pm and roughly by 3:40pm I was headed to ARCS. The office is clean and the front desk staff were helpful and professional. I overheard one team member speaking to another patient in Spanish so it's nice to know the environment is accessible and inclusive in this regard as well. I was called back after a short wait and X-rays were taken. Dr. Fakhari then arrived to perform some tests (these suck but are necessary to confirm a root canal is the right treatment) but before the test began he spent time speaking with me and had, quite possibly, the most pleasant, patient, and caring demeanor of any endodontist I've ever met (yes, unfortunately I have seen down this road more than once). When I was weeping during the numbing process, the aide whose name I believe was Alyssa, kindly comforted me, provided tissues, etc. Dr. Fakhari also took things very slow and checked in often. They were both very reassuring. I don't think it's possible to enjoy anything about a root canal so the fact that every other aspect of the experience is positive (including noise canceling headphones, a blanket, and Spotify) means so much. I'd very much love to never need to visit ARCS again but I'm nonetheless very grateful for their immediate availability, kindness, and professionalism across the board.

The first word that I think of is WOW! I had an appointment…read moreon Wednesday with my regular dentist, who told me I needed an emergency root canal. I called Advanced Root Canal Specialists, and they asked me how quickly I could get there--the dentist would wait. I was an hour away, and it was approximately 3:30 pm. I arrived around 4:40, which isn't too bad during rush hour. When I walked in, I felt like I was at a spa. The room was gorgeous, with a fireplace going for ambiance. (No heat was emitted, as it was 102° F outside). Two very kind and helpful ladies greeted me and offered me something to drink. I chose tea, since they had various types of calming tea. Afterall, I was getting a root canal, and no one likes going to the dentist. I waited about 10 minutes before I was taken back to a room. Tamara and Dr. Fakhari were amazing. I told them prior to beginning that I am not a fan of the Novocain needle. Tamara put dark sunglasses on me, due to the bright lights; gave me a weighted blanket; and offered me headphones to listen to music. All the while, Dr. Fakhari was giving me a needle that I felt, but in a gentle way. He spoke and joked with me while the Novocain took effect. Then, he gave me a second needle to numb the rest of my mouth. I realized it and said, "I see what you did there." He chuckled, "I didn't do anything," and then, smirked. It was the best experience I have had with the painful part of any dental procedure. Dr. Fakhari told me up front that I have a crack in my tooth, and he may not be able to save it. While it was not news I wanted to hear, I appreciated the transparency and honesty. After what seemed like a few minutes, Tamara took the headphones off of my ears. (I was on the fourth song of the playlist). I was waiting for the news that Dr. Fakhari couldn't save my tooth. Instead, he said, "All done. Not so bad." I couldn't believe it was over. He gave me care instructions, and I left--at 5:45 pm. Wow! I hope I don't need a root canal again in the future, but if I do, I will definitely be calling Dr. Fakhari.

Dr. Waxman too very good care of my teeth while I was a patient…read moreduring the spring of 2012. It meant a lot to me to find a specialist who was so caring, efficient and had a great staff. As a young, single woman, the procedures that I had were expensive, even with insurance, and I was glad that his office offered to let me split payments and work out arrangements. I even wrote this glowing review of your office on Yelp: "...after visiting his office a total of five or six times for follow ups, I can say that it's one of the best. Dr. Waxman is very nice and very gentle and very willing to explain things and make sure that you are not in pain..." I held his office in high esteem and, before January 2014, would have said that Ms. Laura Gonzales was a big part of why his office works so well. Laura was the person I interacted with the most to schedule appointments, make payments and discuss bills. She was always professional and even friendly. Until Monday, Jan. 6, 2014, when I had a very unpleasant phone exchange with an obviously exasperated Gonzales. She was rude from the get-go, telling me that I needed to pay approximately $122 immediately. I wasn't aware that I had a remaining balance, since I'd already paid the office so much while the procedures were being done and sending a couple of checks after the fact. (Another reviewer that Yelp "didn't recommend" had a similar experience with this office.) Gonzales was short with me when I asked if I could settle the bill for less, since I had been out of work for months. (Other providers have been willing to do this.) She offered to take off $22. I tried to negotiate more, asking her if she would accept 50 percent of the balance, and she snapped, huffed, cut me off, raised her voice and did everything but call me names. In short, she was rude. Very rude. She was nasty. She belittled. She was snarky. She threatened to send the bill to collections when I tried to explain that I couldn't pay $100 immediately. I asked to speak to someone else and she refused. Eventually, she hung up in my face. I called back and again asked to speak to someone else and she spit out, "I don't know what else you expect me to say!" I'm sure Gonzales has worked for this office for a while and that she was normally competent at her job. Before that phone conversation, I would have said that she was an asset to your office. I don't know if Gonzales was having a bad day, or if something was going on outside of the office, but $100 should never make a person act as rudely to another person as she was to me that day. I'm not arguing that I didn't owe money, or that I shouldn't be expected to pay the money. (I settled the balance over the next 4 months.) I'm arguing that the manner in which the money was collected was unnecessarily harsh, rude and dehumanizing.

When I lived in Wheaton, which was a lot closer to downtown Silver Spring, I still always wrote/typed Wheaton, MD 20902. I had a dentist when I live in Wheaton that was less than a mile away, and she was good, and it's a hassle finding a new dentist. I moved to Russett in 2020, and I kept going all the way back to Wheaton for my dentist through 2023. My girlfriend recommended her dentist Colesville Dentistry, and she was right! I first arrived here in May 2024, then November 2024, & most recently May 2025. Wow, this dentist is top notch, blows the Wheaton dentist I had out of the water. The staff is friendly, efficiently gets you in. Dr. Chai, other dentists, & technicians have been friendly doing a great job with the cleanings as well as advise on better dental habits. Also, this is a state of the art dental office. When you are lying on the dental chair, there is a TV screen above you with high definition nature scenes which is peaceful when the dentist isn't exactly the most pleasant experience even with Colesville Dentistry being the best case scenario goes as far as the dentist goes. They have great technology with computer modeling of my teeth & more, which the prior dentist I had fell short. Although it's still not super close to my home, still easier than going to Wheaton and worth the drive. Overall, I highly recommend Colesville Dentistry.
