Mark C Carl, DDS

Nobody likes going to the dentist — however, if Dr. Carl is your dentist, you will not dread your appointments. The office manager and reception staff are the nicest, most polite and helpful of any healthcare staff I’ve encountered. The hygienist, who cleans my teeth, is likewise lovely and gentle. Dr. Carl is thorough and skilled, and he’s also a dog lover, which says a lot about a person, in my humble opinion. I actually drive quite a distance to continue to receive care from this office, and have been a patient there for over 10 years.

I live in DC and gladly drive an hour out to this dental office. Not only is the staff extremely friendly, competent, and well educated– Dr. Carl’s work is amazing. He explains everything before and during the procedure, you can feel relaxed to rely on a true professional. He is conservative with his decisions which I value. It is refreshing to have a skilled opinion and not to feel pressured into unnecessary procedures out of fear. His staff also spends time with you, explaining procedures and answering all of your questions. I’m not originally from this area, but I am thankful to have finally found a wonderful, talented dentist!

Great Dental care, friendly and helpful staff — my family of four have recieved terrific care for over a decade!

Dr. Carl and his team are the platimum standard for a Great dentist and team.
Office: the office is conviently located in Fairfax Corners, with ample parking. The inside the office space is ALWAYS clean, dusted and smells wonderful. Even the path leading to the doctor’s office is well maintained, including the women’s bathroom.
Staff: You will fall in love with Karen, the office manager who has been her same cheerful self for the 7-​years I was associated with them. I wish Dr. Carl and Company could have relocated with me (yes wishful thinking). My hygentist Polnty was such a blessing; her apporach to dental care, her curb side support (when I needed a root canal) and continual feedback when the ‘proby thing numbers they take of your gums’ returns impressive results.
Dr. Carl’s referrals: anytime the Doc had to referr you to someone else, believe me you are getting the very best of that particialar speciality. Dr. Carl’s professional associations are pretty impressive… yep went to Dr Mahn (who I fell in love with)
Dr. Carl (himself): When I first relocated to Fairfax asked a co-​worker for a dental referal, and the man she sent me to was a quack! I happened to lose my retainer in the move, turned to the internet and located Dr. Carl’s web page. His mission statement impressessed me so much that I called, asked if he could make a replacement, and once I saw the office (met him and Karen) I was hooked
In 7-​years, he has never recommended a procedure that wasn’t necessary; always would explain the reason behind the suggestiions and shares additional wisdom to keep my gums/​teeth healthy. When I had the root canel, Polnty caught the problem befor any pain signaled ‘there was a problem’. Doc walked me thru the process, what he expected to find, why the root had died and contingency plan B if he couldn’t locate the root and needed to send me to a specialist. To say I was scared… understatement of all time… bottom line… no pain: before, during or after the procedure… now thats a GREAT Dentist.
When you see Dr. Carl and Karen or Polnty… tell them Gwen said hello :).

I have seen Dr. Carl for many years and have never had a bad experience. Today’s visit was no exception. Everyone on the staff is professional, friendly and very competent.

Wonderful Dentist and great staff. I have been going to Dr. Carl since I moved to Fairfax. Honest and reasonable. Always listen and offers options.

Dr. Carl and his staff are very knowledgeable and kind. I’ve been going there for a few years now, and would not consider any other dentist. This place is great! I’m coming all the way from Maryland, so that should tell you something.

I came to Dr. Carl because my previous dentist wanted to use porcelain in a filling which would cost over a grand (this was 10 years ago) and he wouldn’t give me any other options. He said «you would be able to see a dark filling when I smiled.» This tooth is the last before my gag reflex! Who the heck going to see that far back!
~ Saw Dr. Carl as my second opinion and he gave me lots of options. Fixed my tooth and didn’t judge me or over charge me! He also has a wonderful front desk staff.
