At Arlington Dental Excellence, we take dental cleanings very seriously. After all, prevention is the best technique to stop cavities from occurring. During the first dental appointment in our office, which we consider the most important, we teach our patients the importance of oral hygiene. In addition, we teach them how to read X-rays so that they are capable of reading X-rays and diagnosing themselves.
At Arlington Dental Excellence, we offer preventive care resources in addition to professional teeth cleanings and exams and your own oral care routine. If you need an extra defense against tooth decay, Dr. Layth Ghanim may recommend that you consider dental sealants, especially for the hard-to-reach areas of your teeth.

My favorite dentist ever. I had 8 crown veneers plus whitening with ADE. I can't find the words to express how impressed I am with their overall service. Starting from India at the front desk to Britney, to Tai, to Tsegi, to of course Dr. Hassan and Dr. Ali.
I already booked my 6 month periodic follow up and cleaning with them.
Their environment is so clean and most importantly friendly (given that I'm scared of dentists).
They are LGBTQA+ friendly and plays club music in the clinic

Not happy at all with the service here. First, the dentist discharged me with the wrong post operative instructions on my medication after a tooth instruction. Spent about 20 minutes on the phone with the office, cotton in my mouth of course, arguing with the office that the post op medication instructions that the office wrote for the pharmacy belonged to some one else. Next, the dentist cancelled my 8 am follow up appointment approximately a week later. Contacted me the night before to inform me that "the doctor won't be in tomorrow until 11am." Kind of miffed at that since

I found this dental office on Google after having some severe tooth pain and being robbed blind weeks before by Emergency Dental USA downstairs in the same building. I made an appointment for that following Saturday (yes a Saturday!!!) which I was thrilled about because I didn't have to use any leave from work. I ended up having to get 2 root canals which I KNEW would not be cheap even with the best dental coverage (I'm a federal gov't employee with high option insurance). I was flabbergasted when they brought me the total cost of 2 root canals!! It was sooooo cheap compared to other

Awful place. I spent my whole day off just trying to pick up my mouth guard. They charged me $350 for a piece of crap. The first time I had an impression, the girl was hurting me and pressing so hard on the top of my head. The second time to pick up my mouth guard was worse. Went at 1 needed a new impression and told me it would be ready in 45 mins. 3 hours later I go in, pay the remaining balance. The mouth guard was so awful and scraping the top of my mouth. I waited another 20 mins for someone to come over. Idk who it was but the guy came over to me and I told him what my issues were and before

I have seen Dr. Mo and and Dr. Alex for a root canal and crown. I recently experienced incredible pain the the tooth that had the root canal. Dr. Mo drained the infection and I no longer have any issues. I grind my teeth, so Dr. suggested a mouth guard. Staff is friendly, the assistants are knowledgable. Great dental office.

Amazing establishment!! Loved the customer service. I'm glad I called when I did. My sister was in bad shape. Our original dental office was not willing to work with us!! We had been looking for an office that was willing to take in a new patient on such short notice. And BAM.. we found Arlington Dental Excellence. They were very kind and cheerful. They took her in shortly after having closed office. They were able to have a doctor stay to help her. She had a nasty infection from her crown that had came loose and fallen out. Dr. Mo and Martin were very excellent in the procedure and all in

DO NOT GO HERE! My experience at this office was absolutely horrendous. While there are multiple red flags I can point to, the biggest thing is that the office LOST my drivers license and insurance card for over an hour. Turns out, the employee who took it to get scanned took my license HOME. SHE TOOK MY LICENSE HOME.
The office was unable to contact this employee so they had to send someone to her house to retrieve my license and insurance card. Absolutely unacceptable.
Not only that, the other employees victim shamed me and gaslighted me, saying that I was making a "big deal" out

Hello,
I am disappointed. While the staff is lovely and welcoming, I have complaints that nobody told me I had to get dental cleaning done before coming for my teeth whitening appointment. I had to get it done at the office when I found out minutes before my whitening procedure. I ended up paying more than I would have if I had gotten dental cleaning done through my insurance at another clinic.
On top of that, I can't even tell much difference in the whitening. There was barely any color difference than my original teeth color. I paid $300 for nothing.

Very disappointed with this place.
I was upset with the amount of times I was told by multiple people I needed vaneers for my front teeth, which was not why I was there in the first place and not a concern I had raised. I found it unnecessary and disrespectful to continuously mention an expensive cosmetic fix when I did not ask for it. Already self conscious about my teeth, I went home very upset.
On top of that, I had to go in after 1 day to have them fix a temporary crown and after the permanent crown, I noticed issues. Went to a second dentist who reported it was ill fitted to my tooth and

Do not trust the 5* reviews. This office deceived me into paying out of pocket. The receptionist told me twice that the doctor I would be seeing was in-network, which he was not. On the day of the service, they told me my insurance does not cover wisdom teeth extractions. Wrong again. Not only would the service have been covered by my insurance if I saw someone in-network, there is a surgeon within the same office that is in-network under my plan.
When I later called, the office repeatedly kept lying to me that It would not have mattered because dental insurance never covers wisdom teeth extraction

They can accommodate you and everything when I walked into the office I realized it was very clean and the encounter with the front desk staff was amazing!!!

The front desk staff and some of the dentist are nice but the Dr. who did my root canal was not honest. He kept adding services at the last minute. What was supposed to be 900 dollars worth of work ended costing 2300. He would come into the room and say "You need a lot of work". Leave for 10 minutes and then say 'you need another root canal'. I explained I was only financially budgeted for the tooth that was being treated. He then insisted I need a crown. Why would I get a crown when I need a root canal? I asked if he could open the tooth up and make sure and just give me a

I truly don't know where to start. After coming from another dentist's office that scarred me from the dentist (saying I had 8 cavities and a root canal-which I had ended up spending a fortune on), I was so hesitant to go to a new place for a second opinion when my old place said I needed emergency wisdom teeth surgery because they were filled with cavities. Upon coming here they were all so kind and welcoming. The dentist assured me I did not need emergency surgery and showed me what cavities actually look like. He let me know that my teeth were completely fine and that old dentists

After having a great dentist back home in California for most of my life I was hesitant to find a good one out here....so I let my wife do the work. Haha
She needed some minor work done and found this dentist. Instantly we were impressed with their level of professionalism, care and overall customer service. They actually listened to what my wife needed and set up a plan for her that would not affect our wedding which was a few months after.
Fast forward and it's time to go back in. They remembered our names, who we were and couldn't stop asking about the wedding and how we were

This place is amazing! The staff provides ONLY excellent customer service. There is a true reason why this place gets 5 stars. Dr. Ghanim is an amazing dentist. I came in there for a deep cleaning (with my fingers crossed that he wouldn't find any problems) and was given the green light that my teeth were fine. He did note that a bridge that was done on my teeth needed repair. I had came back for the repair and again, excellent service! Since I know that the teeth did not have any nerves I opted out of novocaine. He said, "You're a tough cookie." Well I knew I didn't have
