It's exciting for me to work in the Washington, DC, area, treating such a diverse group of patients, and seeing how so many different cultures seem to have one thing in common - the desire to have a beautiful smile! I truly love what I do as an orthodontist, and I feel honored whenever a new patient chooses to receive treatment from this practice.
We recognize that all of our patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.
Our greatest goal is to give you the healthy, straight, beautiful smile that you've always wanted. We understand that choosing to receive orthodontic care is a big decision, and we respect your reasons for wanting to improve the way you look and feel. Our practice will work with you every step of the way to make sure that your orthodontic care is as rewarding as possible.
The cost of your orthodontic treatment will vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan. Our staff will discuss with you the cost of your treatment and each available payment plan option, so that you can make the best choice for you and your smile. We will work with you to create a payment plan that fits your budget, and you will know what to expect before beginning treatment.
Now that you have your braces, how do you take care of them? It's important for you to know how to properly take care of your braces throughout your entire orthodontic treatment. Don't worry, you'll be eating popcorn and snacking on potato chips again in no time! However, before you can start enjoying some of the treats you love, you will need to take special care to avoid any foods that could damage your new appliances.

Dr. Mendoza is a perfectionist and it shows. If you want a perfect smile come here. The consultation is very informative Dr Mendoza walks you through each step of the process and answers all of your questions in a friendly and professional manner. The administrative staff is super friendly and easy to work with also. Come here if you need some ortho work done!

The short review: if you've been told you don't qualify for Invisalign, go to Dr Mendoza. He's a true expert and he worked wonders on my teeth. I wish I had gone years earlier.
Longer review:
I was in my early 30's when I finally decided that I wanted to do something about my crooked teeth, but I was dreading getting braces as an adult.
My regular dentist gave me two recommendations. The first (and very expensive) orthodontist told me that I didn't qualify for Invisalign and braces would take 2 years.
Next I went to Dr Mendoza's office, where he gave me a free exam

I was referred to Dr. Mendoza by a close friend of mine and I couldn't be more pleased. He's very pleasant, as is the staff and they are very easy to work with, when it comes to scheduling. They are located less than a block from the Metro and even though they are in a pretty busy downtown area, if I drive, I've never had an issue finding parking. I have recommended them to others looking for an orthodontist and highly recommend that you at least go in for a consultation. BTW, he is very old school with his practice and I like that. Everything isn't automated or electric..... He makes your visits

I can't believe there aren't more reviews for Dr. Mendoza. Him and most of his team are awesome (there's one lady that wasn't particularly nice). The office is on the smaller side and leaves a lot to be desired but if you want all that fancy dancy stuff you'll pay for it in your treatment cost. After four consultations, I decided to go with Dr. Mendoza because of his professionalism, care and patience with me. My teeth are very important to me but I'm way to vain for traditional braces (metal), Mendoza created a treatment plan that would allow me to have invisalign

Unlike a neighboring orthodontist, Dr. Mendoza's office was much more pleasant and non-chaotic. The front desk person immediately recognized I was a new patient and handed me a two sided page to fill out as she made copies of my ID and insurance and called insurance to confirm enrollment and benefits.
My appointment with Dr. Mendoza was at 10:40 am, and he called me in himself a few minutes later. He took a look at my teeth and provided an estimated treatment plan for braces (he thinks traditional metal and ceramic are the same) and for invisalign. His estimate was 20 months for braces at

Could not recommend him more highly. His entire staff were professional and warm and seemed to genuinely care about patients. He took care of my broken brackets on the spot and had me come back in a week, at no charge, just to make sure everything had worked out perfectly. So impressed by him and glad to know of a great orthodontist in the city.

Dr. Mendoza and his team are the best. They are all kind and competent and caring. If you happen to sniffle they'll grab you a tissue right away, lol! I got a retainer to prepare for my wedding and Dr. Mendoza provided great care at a reasonable price. Moreover, he provides a free consultation which other places in the area don't. The office is so welcoming and friendly that I left my appointments with a big grin on my face every time. They are also bilingual which is a plus. I can't recommend Dr. Mendoza and his staff enough.
