Advanced Cosmetic & General Dentistry of DC

Very caring and dedicated team! They resolved all my issues and concerns and cleaned my retainers for more comfortable usage.

Update: December 2018. Dr. J and her staff are continually top notch and go out of their way. I visit several times a year and, as a lawyer, I know and appreciate A+ and professional, friendly service providers. This dental practice remains TOP on DC.

Dr. J rocks. Professional staff. Great all around. Very talented dentist. GREAT bedside manner, honest billing, and simply the best dental experience you could hope for.

Really love my new(ish) hygenist (new to me, not new to dentistry). She has a gentle touch with all those scary tools and is very friendly and puts me at ease. I also love the dentist. She always gives me multiple options for bigger procedures (I have gum recession and haven't had my wisdom teeth removed yet) and doesn't try to "sell" me on services, which I'm always wary of! Really love Advanced Cosmetic & General Dentistry of DC. Oh, and I am never left waiting in the waiting room!

I got my first cleaning today with this office and it was a good experience. I had the best hygienist, Dorothy, who took the time to do a thorough cleaning and was very talented. The environment in the office is welcoming. I recommend that you try out if you’re in need of a better option for a regular dentist.

I have been going here for 2 years. I came to this dentist because of all of the reviews, please keep in mind that they do ask you to write reviews at the visit. She instructed me I needed a filling, major dental surgery, a root canal and a crown on my very back molar due to unusual decay between my teeth. I had to wait until I could take some time from work, but had the awful surgery ( about a year later) then went to a specialist a few months after for the root canal, ( as they instructed) went back to her office for the final crown immediately after the root canal ( again, as they instructed to come right after the root canal) - It did not fit. They blamed me having the instructed root canal, (lol) , This was the very end of June, when she first re-opened the office from the Covid shutdown. When I went to reschedule for my corrected crown placement, since they messed up the first one, I told the receptionist I would be leaving the city during the pandemic and I had to come before I left in the next two weeks- She argued with me that I couldn't get in and they were completely booked. I was very annoyed and upset but I had bigger concerns at the time. I am now back in the city a few months later, went in as soon as I got back to DC- and again the crown didn't fit. The dentist started yelling at me and told me she will no longer do my crown (even though it has been paid for) . She was beyond unprofessional. after MANY excuses of why the crown wouldn't fit, ( one of them was that the cusp of the tooth above it was long now, which they have told me that might be a problem on at least 10 occasions in the past) her last resort was accusing me of being rude to her staff- I stopped and asked the staff if I had been rude- he said "NO" and apologized to me on the way out after hearing this nasty women completely lose it on me. She told me she's not doing it anymore and the relationship has been terminated. She has serious mental issues. At one point she got in my face and started asking me exactly where I was the past few months, and went off saying she just doesn't have the time, and she needs to get home to their family and she is now closed. . It was the WORST healthcare experience I have ever had in 30 years. I have never had any issues with a single healthcare provider or dentist before this. Good thing I have a lot of dental records from all of the work I had done already, and a lot of good friends friends who know me and are willing to help me fight this. If she does not refund me so I can go to someone who is capable of doing a crown, I will be taking this awful women to court! Everyone has bad days, I get that- But this was another level. I am reporting her for this behavior. It was absolutely insane and no one should have to go through that. I turned my phone on voice memo recording before she completely lost it on me. so at least I have a voice recording of her behavior and everything she told me incase she tries to fudge the records ( I wouldn't put it past her) - I have a lot of scans and X rays that I will be submitting to the dental board for review based off everything she told me on my voice recording of the conversation. I understand the pandemic has affected people's mental health, but this was one for the books! I would not go here for anything cosmetic. They are not capable of performing anything difficult and try to blame YOU when they can not do the work they charged you for already.

I am a huge “dental-phobe” . . . I have gone over 3 years between dental appointments at least 3 different times in my life, once as long as 7 years. I hadn’t had a regular dentist since I left home after high school, because I’d never had a dentist that could put me at ease about the whole process and who didn't seem to have a sadistic streak. I’ve lived in DC 3 years and never bothered to find a dentist until two weeks ago when one of my top front teeth cracked and chipped all along the bottom, making my smile a horror show—I couldn’t put off my next dental appointment any longer.

After reading the Google reviews, I am so glad to have taken the chance with Dr. Jahangiri and her extremely skilled and gracious team of Dental Assistants and Dental Hygienists. They had an opening the very next morning, and Siara and Dr. Jahangiri never made me feel rushed at all. Unlike with all my past dentists, I had barely uttered one sentence about my fear of dental work and Siara and Dr. J went out of their way to put me at ease about everything. It definitely helped that the actual dentistry was completely painless as well!

When I came back the following week for a cleaning and the follow-up work, Danielle, Siara, and Dr. J once again made sincere efforts to make the experience as easy and comfortable as possible (I’m 34 years old, but I hugged/squeezed “Phil” the stuffed elephant during my cleaning and it was the best cleaning ever). It’s not cheap when you neglect regular dental appointments for years at a time, but if you’re already in that situation, at least you shouldn’t be made to feel frightened or ashamed about your next appointment. Amazingly, Dr. Jahangiri, Siara, and Danielle all went out of their way to make me as comfortable as possible and completely pain-free. Glad I’ve finally found a dentist I can—dare I say?—actually look forward to going back to for regular checkups and cleanings, rather than dreading the perennial search for something better than the last harrowing experience every few years when an emergency arises.

TL;DR:
+ gracious and sincere patient care/bedside manner
+ painless cleaning, cavity filling, and dental crown procedures
+ super easy appointments even on very short notice
+ patient and accommodating with dental-phobes like me
+ also appreciate the high def PHOTOS of teeth instead of just x-rays!

I had a horrible experience. I'm a person who took a fall and broke a few front teeth. The temporary solution given to me lasted a few days, was for $1,200. The staff there was very shrewd to pretend they accepted my insurance. If my visits there had gone on it would have been to the tune of probably $20,000. Their goal was to get me to come back as much as they could. They also told me six months later that they discovered a new bill they needed to send me (this was after they realized I wasn't coming back). But also, and this is the worst part of it, their solution to my problem were veneers. I assumed I would be treated as a patient, but veneers are not a solution to dead teeth from an accident. Dr. Jahangiri's solution aligned with her financial interests, and thus I was treated like a gullible customer. I ended up getting proper care elsewhere, but the physician who did get me root canals and caps I needed was appalled when I showed him a bill from this office. There is a good deal of fraud in dentistry. Dental surgeons probably get away with all kinds of unnecessary work. If insurance deems it unnecessary then a company like this will just send you over to a collections agency. A patient's gullibility is their financial gain. I hope people see this post and do not do business here.

We've had a fantastic experience here. My whole family goes and the staff is wonderful, from the front desk to the hygienists. The dentist is great, and she's both smart and patient. Highly recommend!

Very smooth check in and check out. Top flight dentists!

A very well managed practice. Now I know where to refer my friends and family for a thorough work up.
Dr J is a smart and competent dentist. She had to deal with my very complicated case in the first visit; and believe me it was not just about a cavity and clean up. She offered different treatment options, prioritized the plan in a stepwise fashion; did really well to help me with the most acute issue and offered me a follow up the day after and finished a complicated procedure in the most efficient manner.
Her staff were all knowledgable and supportive.
