Ashburn Dental Care

Being a patient with severe anxiety & panic attacks, I was extremely pleased with Doc & his staff!!! After finding out about my scepticalusm, all the staff here made completely sure I was at ease prior & during my procedures. I have had a tooth extracted, my first visit. I might add I had NO pain or discomfort after. I have gone back for a replacement crown & deep cleaning.
I have & would recommend this practice to everyone, especially if you have a fear of dentistry.
This team ROCKS!!!

Huge fan of Dr. Rizvi and am so grateful to have finally found a practice that doesn’t intimidate you at all. The staff here is so kind and genuine and so is Dr. Rizvi… I would highly recommend this practice to anyone whose looking for a new dentist and isn’t sure where to go… GO here!

In all my years of visiting a dentist, never have I felt like a number which was my experience twice here. The dentist literally told her assistant «hurry, you are moving too slow, hurry.» She was fumbling instruments trying to move like ti was a pit stop at a NASCAR race. Most unprofessional dental experience (twice) I have ever had.

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences since I began going to Ashburn Dental Care around six years ago. Dr. Rizvi is very professional, patient, and knowledgeable; which was demonstrated when he stayed at the office (after hours) to fix a filling that I chipped. He obviously was not required to stay late, but did so because of a medical condition I have. I would 100% recommend Dr. Rizvi to anyone looking for a dentist in the Northern VA area.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Rizvi at Ashburn Dental Care for a number of years. I am extremely satisfied with the care I have received from Dr. Rizvi and his staff since 2009. They are very personable and reasonable in their pricing.
I first came to Ashburn Dental Care when my dentist was unable to see me, I had been having major tooth pain; he was able to see me right away. After my visit with Dr. Rizvi, he recommended that I see a specialist to confirm his diagnosis, not wanting to conduct a procedure that wasn’t 100% necessary.
Since that experience, I have had a number of fillings changed, a root canal and bi-​yearly cleanings from this office. Both of the dental hygienists — Zuhay and Vanessa, are great! They both are sweet, familial, and great at their jobs!
I’ve recommended to Ashburn Dental Care to a number of my family and friends, each of whom have had great experiences and no complaints.

I have been going to Ashburn dental care for over 10 years. I have been very happy with the entire staff– they are curteous, caring and always helpful. I enjoy checking in with them every 6 months and have also been bringing my twin 7 year olds here for their check ups. Dr Rizvi is amazing with them– excellent bed side manner and his staff always makes us feel right at home. I highly recommend them and find them always to be organized, clean, and on time– in fact, I love that they text me ahead of time to confirm appts, email me reminders, and follow up with me afterwards.

I had been to several other dentists in the area, and none of them made me feel comfortable. Dr. Rizvi has a great bedside manner and a conservative approach, and I love both of his hygienists for putting up with me. I felt compelled to write a review to counter the two earlier grumps, because this is the first time in my life I have stuck with a dental routine, and my teeth are getting healthier and look great. I have also never had any financial problems here, and hardly ever pay out of pocket for anything. Dr. Rizvi knows how to maneuver all needed work in the best way to get it covered by insurance. Maybe the last 2 reviewers can’t get good insurance at the gas station they work at, but I have found my dentist.

I have been coming to Ashburn Dental Care for a couple of years now. I am very satisfied with my dental care there, which prompted me to write this review.
I was new to the NOVA area, and when I arrived, I started out at a big name dentistry franchise’s branch for my care. Although the individual dentist who saw me there was just fine, the overall experience of the care felt very commercial, and it seemed as if they were interested in getting as much profit out of me as possible. The dentist doesn’t even tell you what you need done, you are sent to another person who shows you a list and a 1,2, or 3 year financial plan. I was told that I needed my wisdom teeth out, needed several root canals, and 5 crowns. Although I did the crowns with them, when I moved from Herndon to Ashburn, I decided to switch dentists. I specifically sought a dentist with a small family practice instead of a large franchise due to the «businessy» experience with the other place.
I am SO glad that I switched to Dr. Rizvi. He agreed that I needed my wisdom teeth out, but rather than do the surgery himself and make a profit, he told me that my health insurance might cover having it done by an oral surgeon instead of a dentist. (My dental insurance would have partially covered it but I would have to space out all my treatments to avoid huge out of pocket payments with annual limits on coverage.) Well, what do you know, my health insurance did completely cover my wisdom tooth removal. Those big franchise guys could have told me the same thing instead of giving me a three year plan of surgeries and payments using only dental insurance if I did the surgery in their office. So I had my wisdom teeth out, have no more problems with discomfort related to that issue, and I have found a very nice dentist in Dr. Rizvi in the meanwhile.
Dr. Rizvi seems to be one of those dentists who takes a more conservative treatment approach rather than just jumping to root canals and crowns unless they are absolutely and immediately necessary, so I wish I had seen him in the first place
The dental assistants in the office are very friendly and personable, as is Dr. Rizvi. When I have had a dental issue, Dr. Rizvi carefully explained the situation in laymen’s terms, showing me x-​rays, and never just giving me a list of what I needed done and sending me to the financial people like what happened at the big franchise.
I have recommended Dr. Rizvi to friends, but I thought I’d go through the extra step of putting my experience up on Unilocal.Sorry for the lengthiness, but in a nutshell, I continue to return to Ashburn Dental Care because of the quality of the care and the friendly family atmosphere in the office.

I’ve no idea how he’s gotten such horrid review but I personally have had no problems with Dr. Rizvi or his staff. He came highly recommended by my co-​workers and due to my multiple times in the office I recommend him to others.
One awesome thing about him is that he’s able to do small root canals which other general dentists don’t/can’t/won’t do, although when it comes to larger teeth (molars) he’ll send you to an endodontist.
Office staff is always friendly to chat with, he’s always a joy to talk to.
He also uses the CEREC system in which I can get a crown done during the office visit which I find amazing.

This guy doesn’t know what he’s doing. I went in a few years back for a simple teeth cleaning and he removed a good deal of my enamel and tried to explain his way out of it. He also had his assistants do a lot of the work. The one with the short hair is very professional and nice, but the other girl was condescending, rude, had no idea what she was doing, and acting like a total village idiot.
I’ll save you the trouble of reading what this quack is going to respond with; he’s going to say look at his DemandForce reviews, they’re just so good, and then he’s going to convince you that Unilocal sucks. Yes, DemandForce a service that he pays for with no place for you to post a review somehow is more accurate than Unilocal where people are able to post a good or bad review and also does not benefit from the business in question. Which one would you trust? A website filled with made up reviews or one with honest reviews?

I moved to the area and needed a new family dentist. Rizvi’s office seemed nice enough, everything is electronic which was a problem when I needed to get a second opinion.
I was told that my teeth looked like they had not been cleaned by a professional in years (it had been 6 months). They wanted to do a deep cleaning. I apparently had 8 cavities. I told them, I saw the dentist 6 months ago how could I have developed all of the cavities in 6 months? I had only ever had a single cavity, that was filled and corrected when I was 10.
But also, the old filling was bad and needed to be replaced!
I was not too keen on needing all this dental work, so I made the trek back to my family’s dentist to get a second opinion. There weren’t any cavities. The «anatomy» of my teeth has a lot pits. But there aren’t any holes that lead to the nerve. The 2^nd opinion (that my parents, aunts, and cousins all use) and has taken care of my teeth since birth, says if I want to I can get sealant applied as a preventative measure but filling teeth is unnecessary and a bad idea.
My 2^nd opinion had to take a 2^nd set of X-​rays since Rizvi’s are low resolution email quality.
What a crook. I can see why he needs to make up erroneous procedures to pay for his high-​tech office.
