I was referred here by a friend and I must say I am impressed , full female staff. Everyone so nice from Desk I think her name was Deb to hygienist Vicky , and dr J did a crown for me and it looks so natural you would never know! She is also very personable and kind she even called me after hours to check on me ! Now that's service !

well to start i was greeting by the very kind and welcoming staff at the front door and when i proceeded with my filling Dr.J was very professional and caring with my filling she was able to lighten the room while keeping it professional. i recommend everyone in the Dmv to come check out her work because for me it was an amazing experience!

Great dentist, But KEEP YOUR RECORDS from the insurance company and from dentist , Received bills that I owed more money , Went to collections and the phone calls started, I told them I did not owe anything , I had to find all the info, call the insurance company and then called them to ask why , they told me they will get back with me and they did , was told I did NOT owe them MONEY.. so just keep all you paper work from any Dr or Dentist , it makes life easier .. It almost went on my Credit Report and The DENTIST office made the mistake !!!!!

Wonderful dental care but the front office staff is so horrible that I had to switch dentists. First they tried to charge me 5K for Invisalign when I went in for a teeth cleaning and they didn’t seem to understand that I wasn’t getting Invisalign then and no matter how much I insisted, they just kept demanding that all 5K was due that day. Then they insisted that I was responsible for billing my own insurance company even though it was in network. It took a 20 minute conversation to be billed normally. Then they kept trying to upcharge me for everything. I decided to get Invisalign through a different orthodontist and the front desk staff tried to insist that I couldn’t get my teeth cleaned unless I spent 600$ on a night guard. I kept explaining to them that I was receiving orthodontic treatments and couldn’t wear a night guard but they kept insisting that they needed their 600$ if I wanted my teeth cleaned. Finally they scheduled me an appointment for a day they weren’t open. So I went to the dentist on president’s day only to find it shut. Great dentist, but the staff is so incompetent and money hungry that you aren’t a patient you are a customer and your time and comfort doesn’t matter - you exist so that they can squeeze every last cent out of you. They are horrible and I felt like a dollar sign, not a human.

I live in Florida and I was in DC when I had a chipped tooth and someone at my hotel recommended this office. First of all they made coming in so easy they send me all the paperwork via secure email so I could send back information with my social without worrying about identity theft :) Long story sure Dr. Janahngiri fix the chip in my tooth and it looks better than the bonding that I had done back home in Florida. Thank you :)

This is unfortunate and could have completely been avoided had it not been for my unsavory experience with this office. I will try to provide an abbreviated version and the latest update. Long story short, I visited in June 2016 and received a bill (that should not have been received) in August. I was given erroneous information from both the front desk associate, who I'm told is no longer there as well as the Office/Billing Manager, Sandra. They explained the issue was resolved and I hoped to move on. However, I received another bill weeks later and the cycle started again. Hoping to put this to rest, I requested my medical forms be transferred to a new office and when that didn't work, the young lady from my new office had to request the forms. I decided to leave a Yelp review about my experience a few weeks ago and once the Office Manager read it she called to explain. In her message she said I would receive a refund and asked for me to call back so we could discuss the next steps. The call, however, was the polar opposite of the message as she explained there was no refund, it was all the fault of the young lady who no longer worked there, and she requested that I remove my negative review. I declined since it was apparent this call's purpose was to remove the review. Fast forward to this week and I received another billing attempt from my former dental insurance provider for this SAME visit. The billing statement even lists this as another attempt. It is incredibly disheartening that the response to not getting what someone wants is unnecessary action. It is my sincere hope that this saga ends.

Dr. Jahangiri was fantastic. The staff efficient and friendly. I especially appreciated the honesty in their assessment of my teeth and how to keep them healthy and straight.

Maria Lopez

I found Dr J based on a recommendation of a coworker, and she was so kind and friendly ans explained everything in detail to me, even convinced me to do the less expensive option because its better for my tooth and more conservative. I was going to get 8 veneers based on another dentists recommendation, she rec 6 month invisalign to straighten my tooth that bothers me, and some fillings and only 4 veneers to give me the smile i want with out shaving all my teeth down for veneers at such a young age. I highly recommend her.

Jonathan Smith

The best dental experience ever. I came in to get an exam and to find out why a tooth has been bothering me. I was immediately impressed by how kind and friendly the front desk staff was. The assistant Sierra was so nice and made me feel very comfortable by explaining step by step to me what to expect during my visit. Dr J is the absolute best. She reviewed my X-rays with me and explained to me why my tooth ache . She even showed me pictures of my tooth from which Sierra had taken minutes before. It made me feel better seeing the pictures because it gave me more clarity about what was going on. I had to get a crown on my tooth! And they were kind enough to do my crown the same day because I was in pain. I was even able to listen to music on provided headphones so I wouldn't have to hear the drill while I got my crown. I highly recommend this office to anyone who is looking for a dentist. I would like to thank Dr J and Sierra for such an warm experience and will definitely be returning for all my dental needs.

Adella James

I have been to many dentist due to the poor shape my teeth have always been in and in all honesty, Dr.Jahangiri is the only dentist that helped me. She is caring, professional and very good at what she does. She is the only dentist I have ever trusted.

THIS PLACE HAS GONE DOWN THE DRAIN. My wife and I have been clients of Dr. J for 8 years but that has ended as of today. I made a complaint on her receptionist two weeks ago and today Dr. J lashed out on my wife and I. In the beginning her practice was very professional with the exception of a gossip-like environment and a snarky, and rude receptionist (blonde with glasses). But we stayed with her despite our one hour drive because we loved her. After tolerating a poor crown that is already deteriorating within the few months which the "porcelain" is turning silver! Since Dr, J has expanded her practice she has become unprofessional, and confrontational with a smile. She once had "family" environment but you can clearly see the difference in her bedside manner. Today she even called me a different name despite me being her client for 8 years and "knowing" me.She even supports her rude staff when they are wrong. Today Dr. J called me a liar and was clearly emotional instead of caring and professional. I will never re-turn nor refer. Why should I support a business that is now far removed from customer services quality, rapport and integrity,

Christina Cleary Maxwell

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!

Amy McQuade

Dr. O is incredibly talented! I have finally found a skilled, thorough, reasonably priced dentist in DC and I am thrilled. I have been trying different dentists for years to find one that is not only nice but more importantly an excellent dentist and I found her! Not only did I have an excellent cleaning experience, Dr. Olani stayed an hour late because I was going overseas and she squeezed me in to repair my two fillings. She knows what she is doing and is reasonably priced! In addition, the front desk receptionist was so friendly and nice. I could not be more happy with the experience! 10 out of 10! I will be back! Thank you!

Nick Kaz

what can I say but great things, I have been a patient for a while and they have always fir me in anytime I have had an emergency, even at the end of the day at times. I am no stranger to the dentist so I can tell you D J and her team do good quality work, and make your feel at ease.

Meredith Shorter

I come by this office after asking around some coworkers and Also next door app. My experience was great from my 1st email when sandy wrote back to me with in an hour and sent me all the paper work via email to complete and submit online. My hygienist Vicky was amaazing and Dr.J was so friendly and professional and she spent a lot of time explaining all my 3 options for me on detail with all the positives and negatives. She was very knowledgeable because when I went to a specialist they vouched for her experience and her recommendations too.

Elizabeth Hickman

I would recommend Advanced Cosmetic & General Dentistry of DC as the service provided is of the highest quality. The team are extremely professional and courteous and go out of their way to ensure the patient is fully appraised and comfortable during the procedure.

Dean Manno

Very professional, takes the time to describe all your options for cosmetic dentistry and the pros and cons for each. Also go here for teeth cleaning, Michele does a great job!

Erik Olson

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.

Dean Amel

While eating a Cheeto at an office party, a 4-year-old cap was pulled out of place. Luckily, I can walk to the dental office in a few minutes, where Dr. J quickly removed the cap, cleaned it and glued it back in place. After a quick x-ray, I was able to return to my office party (but refrained from further Cheetos).

carol jennings

I love my first visit here! Everyone was warm and friendly. Front desk were incredibly nice and welcoming. I first saw Holly the dental Hygienist who did an amazing job at cleaning my teeth. She was very sweet, knowledgeable, and was very easy to talk to. I also got the chance to meet Dr. Jahangiri Very professional and skilled. I loved the great energy I got at this office. I would definitely recommend this place. Thank you!

shohreh mohebbi

I Was very happy with their service and my smile make over , the assistants are very friendly, and I highly recommend them to all my friends.

Natalie Jacobsen

Would give 0 stars. First, requested previous dental records. After they were sent by a previous dentist, they pretended to never receive them - needed a manager to locate them in their inbox. Front staff do not know what they're doing. Then, the hygienist barely listened to my concerns or my dental history. She kept bumping and scraping my teeth "accidentally" while cleaning, with zero apology or concern about JUST HAVING TOLD HER my teeth are fragile and break easily. Next, the dentist tried to upsell me and gave me outrageous numbers for cosmetic work, claiming it was "heavily discounted." She quoted me 4x what the next dentist quoted me. Insane. Then, she claimed that two of my fillings and a crown needed to be repaired or updated. TWO OTHER DENTISTS completely denounced that claim and said that was entirely unnecessary, saving me THOUSANDS. Finally, I was billed an outrageous number FOR A CLEANING that is usually 100% covered by insurance. Took several calls for the front staff and accounting staff to get their numbers straight and remove the charges. Do NOT see them unless you want to waste your money.

Holly Dixon

I have been a patient of the Practice for a long time and I have referred many patients over the years. I have had invislaign with Dr J and I love my results, I have had fillings and of course cleanings over the years, honestly all the staff from the hygenist to assistant all are very friendly and professional and do amazing work. I highly reccomend them.

Dexter cooper

Dr Jahangiri is the best dentist ever. The staff is very professional. My wife and I love the dental care we receive at Advanced Cosmetic & General Dentistry of DC. They make you feel like you're part of the family.

Margaret Washington

I am not the easiest patient in the world and I always dread going to the dentist. I love this dentist office. I just had my teeth cleaned and it was the best experience! Vicki cleaned my teeth and was so nice and made this experience wonderful. I loved this office!!!

Price Wootton

Let me first start out by stating that I had the same dentist growing up for almost 23 years. With that in mind, I was terribly nervous when I began my search to find a new dentist when I moved to DC. Boy did I luck out! I can't say enough positive things about Dr. J and her wonderful staff. Her office is conveniently located downtown and is accessible to numerous bus stops/the metro. Her office atmosphere is the most positive - I laugh and have wonderful conversations with both her and her staff during every visit. The dental care itself is thoroughly executed - whether it be a cleaning or a filling. There is great flexibility when booking appointments/choosing from times that work best for YOU. Look no further than here to find your next dentist! I'm already looking forward to my next appointment :)

Cristina Quintos

Dr. Jahangiri was very pleasant and patient in attending to me during my visit yesterday.

Peter Phau

Dorothy was excellent! She did an excellent job as the dentist's hygienist

GiGi Chan

I would like to begin saying the front desk is very efficient at finding my insurance benefits before I arrived for my appointment for my checkup and cleaning. The dental assistants are so friendly and helpful in explaining the process of the visit. Once I met Dr. J, she has a great bedside manner. Hands down the best.

Ahoodah Smith

Great staff super friendly and warm. Service was exceptional left with knowing that I'd gotten a nice dental cleaning. Will definitely be visiting again and recommending my friends and family!

James Lawson

I love this place. I've been going here for 15+ years. My latest experience, just today, was with Dr. Oriani and I was very impressed with her. Deft, considerate and fast. Will keep coming back.

CAM 1

I was referred to Dr. Jahangiri by my Oral Surgeon. I have a complex medical issue that requires patience, understanding and a knowledge of how someone's health obstacles can play a major role in the dental care they recieve. I am happy to say I found that in Dr. J. I went in for a cleaning and knowing I'd have to have some other future things done. I've had some not so great experiences with other Dentists in the DMV area, which explains why I was so nervous before seeing her. She not only took the time to really listen to what was going on and my concerns, her confidence also made me feel comfortable, relaxed and safe. She was very thorough and attentive. She had Sepi, one of the Dental Hygienists perform my cleaning. I have to say that was literally the most comfortable cleaning I have ever had in my life. and I loved her personality. The bedside manner amongst the staff that took care of me was great! Instead of fearing the Dentist, I now have a new appreciation for them and I look forward to improving my dental health. Thank you Dr. Jahangiri and Sepi, for helping to make my first meeting/visit a rememberable one, you are appreciated! Carie

Not sure why this dentist is so highly rated. I came in for a tooth implant and was shocked with the lack of professionalism and quality of work done. It seemed that the dentist had minimal experience dealing with such operations, and did not take enough effort to explain the process or the outcome of certain procedures. I was most frustrated later on to discover that implants should be preceded by careful cleaning of the root canal, since a dead root produces harmful bacteria that put stress on the body and lead to poor health outcomes in the medium and longterm. When the screw was removed, I noticed a terrible smell that should have indicated a problem. Arousha was unconcerned and did not take any effort to clean the site, which is a necessary part of this type of procedure. I hope this review is found by others who have had a root canal performed, because doctors are now realizing that the 'slow drip' process of bacteria leaking into the bloodstream through dead root canals is linked to cancer, heart problems, and decreased immune system functioning. Edit: The tooth has undergone multiple surgeries in the past, including a root canal. The cavity is now dead, which is why bacterial infection is more dangerous. Fact remains that no effort was made to clean the cavity. Not expecting any admission of fault, but since I found your response particularly annoying (calling from a blocked number multiple times), I'll also mention that the implant was partly ruined after the dentist supported the idea of getting the length filed down, not anticipating that the tooth had not fully settled and would shrink with time. I now have a front tooth that is shorter than the adjacent front tooth--a problem that originally motivated me to undergo this (overly) expensive procedure.

Elizabeth Johnson

I am not the easiest patient for sure but Dr J and her assistant Gany and the hyg Dorothy I believe he name is made me feel at ease and i almost even slot during cleaning. Had one small filing they did the same day and i am all done for 6 Months :) yay

Aaron Fluitt

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!

Deborah Nakamura

I recently saw Vicki for my teeth cleaning...she is an exceptional hygienist!! She was so nice and explained everything to me. The doctors and staff are also great! Best dental experience I ever had!

Tiboo Simon

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.

Barbara Walters

We've been with this group for over 25 years and love them. I always look forward to going to the dentist. My friends think I'm crazy. Great staff!

Erica Andrew

I have been going to Advanced Cosmetic & General Dentistry for a few years now and I could not be happier with the wonderful staff there. I chipped my tooth last night and called this morning and they were able to get me into their office same day. I was really upset about my tooth and Dr. Jahangiri is not only an amazing dentist but she completely cheered me up. Every time I have seen her she is personable, polite and just absolutely lovely. Debbie at the front desk is also a pleasure - she is always smiling and she is FAST. When I was having issues with my insurance a few months ago she took great care of me and handled everything in the utmost timely fashion keeping me in the loop the entire time. TL:DR - I love my dentist and the wonderful staff here :)

Rob Schneider

I came to Advanced Cosmetic years ago after finding them as one of the top rated dentists in the region as listed in Washington Consumer Checkbook at the DC Public Library. I was super dissapointed when Dr Steven Barsky, my original dentist retired, but he asked me to stay on for his excellent colleague Dr. Arousha Jahangiri. Right from the start, she turned out to be just as exceptional as Dr Barsky, and now I would never consider going anywhere else. I think the hygenists are all kind, efficient, well trained, and excellent communicators. Arousha is both personable and professional with a warm and listening demeanor. The front office staff is equally good, and I love that they follow up with me using my preferred contact method (texting) about upcoming appointments. - I rate them highly and recommend this dentist with confidence to all my friends I think you will too.

Tracee Lockhart

I found Dr Jahangiri through the recommendation of one of my coworkers, and I must say I was glad to see how friendly she and her assistant sierra were. They are in network with my insurance wich is a big deal and saves me a lot of money, and the fit me in same day to fix my chipped front tooth and rescheduled for some other procedures. You can even do your paperwork online before your appointment. I thought the entire process was very easy. would highly recommend

Rick Nidel

Very professional operation. Friendly, quick, and responsive. They work with insurance to make sure you don’t commit to stuff that’s going to break the bank! Like all dentists, they would love for you to go for elective, expensive stuff that’s not covered, but they don’t push it like other places I have been.

Vinicio Linares

Overprices for low quality work.

Ulrich Boser

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!

Cc Kk

Don't go to this place. She is no good, and never take cares of her patients.

Debbie Belhumeur

Everyone is so nice and Dr Jahangiri is wonderful and so caring.

Paul Breakman

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.

Grace McLain

Top-notch, high quality dental practice. Really friendly staff, excellent cleaning, professional examination. Not their fault, but the elevators in the building are INSANELY slow. I’ll definitely be taking the stairs for my next appointment, and, if you’re fit enough to walk up 5 flights of stairs, you should too. They’re behind the elevators, to the left.

Brad Sweet

I highly recommend Dr. J and the Advanced Cosmetic & General Dentistry team. I've been a patient for years and they just keep getting better & better.

dominique smith

Dr. J is a great dentist. What I like most about the office is that it was very clean and her staff is really nice. Dr.J was very helpful during my appointment .She explained everything to me very well. My cleaning was amazing and very painless. I was very pleased.

carolina menjivar

Dr. Jahangiri and her staff are wonderful! Have been going there for years. Friendly office, fair prices and prompt! Would recommend to anyone.

Emily Alfonso

Love Dr J and her staff !! Vicky is great and I saw another hygienist Dannielle last time and she was great too. They get you in and out fast and Dr J and her staff explain everything in detail and took care of all my insurance details.
