Crystal City Dental Arts Center

Unprofessional location — the complete experience at a dentist’s office also depends on the care and quality of the staff. This staff was highly unprofessional, impolite, and incompetent. They get scheduling and office hours wrong and struggle to provide directions in English.

First time here for a cleaning. Overall impression was satisfactory. The office seems a little dingy and could probably use a paint job, but that is just cosmetic.
The staff was very quick, efficient, and friendly. I don’t have any complaints. I will definitely be using Crystal City Dental Arts as my regular dentist moving forward.

I saw Dr. Shin for a general checkup and cleaning, and I certainly would return. The price before insurance was $ 326. They admitted me soon after I filled out the usual forms and started work right away. At no point was I stranded in the chair, as has happened in other dental offices. They cleaned my teeth efficiently and without dropping the instruments down my throat, which I appreciated. Dr. Shin was personable and raised a couple of non-​cosmetic issues (and he certainly could have raised cosmetic ones) without putting pressure on me to have further work done. All in all, it was a good experience.

Went in for a teeth cleaning and was very impressed with the dentist, the set-​up, and how quickly I was in and out. They did a good job cleaning my teeth and informing me of any additional work that should be done.

The deep dental clean was horrible here. They made me bleed a whole lot of blood and it was very very painful! The Korean doctor was friendly and generally speaking good but his associates are soooooooooo bad. Why does this place has to hire people with no experience at all to work as the dentists’ associates?

Dr. Kaymanesh was very courteous and professional. Did a thorough job.

Don’t do it. Find a different dentist. My first impressions were good. Super friendly, efficient, and seemingly professional service and all covered by my insurance plan. They even had TV’s in each room. Sounds great, right?
I talked to the dentist about some tooth pain I was having and he told me that I could try to replace an old filling in that area and it might do the trick. I realized it wasn’t a guaranteed fix but decided to go through with it anyway. It seemed interesting to me that during the procedure, both the dentist and his assistant couldn’t stop watching and laughing at the funny antics on the Today Show. Um… hello… remember me? I’m the one sitting in your chair with the giant light gun in her mouth.
After the filling, I experienced severe bite pain (not like before — completely new). I went back on three different occasions to get it fixed and each time they just ground the filling down, claiming it might be too big. After the third visit, the dentist told me there was nothing more he could do and that there should be no more issues… but of course the pain was still there. It took a different, more experienced dentist to discover that the filling was never properly bound to the tooth. Of course, I have had to shell out a pretty penny to get this and related issues fixed — and it still isn’t over six months later. Ouch!
In conclusion, giant flatscreens in dentist’s offices aren’t necessarily a sign of a more professional practice! :(

Saw Dr. Kim here. Super friendly, efficient, professional service at a reasonable cost, and he’s available some Saturdays! What more could you want from your dentist?
(FYI it’s INSIDE the Crystal City underground mall area. A little confusing if you’re not expecting this)
