Sara T Brendmoen, DMD

My husband and mother both go to this dental office now and have had nothing but positive experiences each time. I’ve been going faithfully for over 2 years and won’t stop unless they close or stop taking my insurance!

I tried several dental practices when looking for a replacement for my dentist who retired. The Springfield Lorton Dental group was by far the best in terms of quality of dentistry provided.
Dr. Brendmoen also fitted me for invisalign with excellent results.

Great office. The entire staff – including the office staff and hygenists – is very competent, professional, and thorough. The office itself is very clean, well decorated, comfortable, and conveniently located with lots of free parking and great hours. The dentists are not pushy in terms of the patient’s thoughts about the proposed treatment plan, and they really try to give you as much information as possible, address questions/​concerns, and support decisions that the patient feels comfortable with. They couldn’t do it without the office staff who are all so friendly and helpful. I love that they offer you a detailed receipt of costs of upcoming treatment do that you know exactly what to expect and can plan financially. The only difficulty is that follow-​up appointments are difficult to schedule as the practice is solidly booked. But, they do call you when someone else cancels, and you get plenty of reminders by email, text, etc. I have had bad experiences with other practices in the past and am, as a result, very particular about who I go to now. I can confidently recommend this particular practice to anyone.

First, I HATE going to the dentist (dental phobia??)! I’d rather get something operated on!
Well, i’ve been coming here for the last 5 – 6 years, I usually see Dr. Brendmoen, she is great and I will continue to see her. I’ve never once had a problem with her and she does make you feal at ease. I usually try to see her at the Lorton location, they have a newer office there with newer equipment.
Well, I recently started having some bad pain in my jaw, I was able to call and be seen the same day. Apparently I needed a root canal then a crown. I would need to make a future appt. for both. I setup the root canal for a couple of weeks out, well the tylenol stopped working and I was in very bad pain during the nights. I did end up calling and they were able to get me in about 1.5 days later. Dr. Tupman did the root canal, this was my first root canal (and hopefully last), i was told my Dr. Tupman that I could still have pain for the next couple of days, well once i got home and the numbing meds wore off i felt 100% better. I did not need to take anymore pain meds. If you ask me, i think it is the dentist that made the difference, i think it’s very easy to screw up drilling out your nerves!
The staff is also very friendly.

Going to the dentist is never fun, so I can’t go that far in this review, but I am writing a second review for this practice because it is far and away the best dental office I have ever been in. I was seen on the dot of my appointment, no waiting. The office is clean and organized, and the administrative assistants at the front desk are very helpful, and frankly, way too bright first thing in the morning, but in a good way. The hygenist (Beth again, yay!) was very funny and friendly, which I found relaxing, despite my extreme dentalworkaphobia. All my questions were answered, and I always leave with the sure feeling that my dental health is in very good hands.

Dr. Sara Brendmoen was knowledgeable and efficient, and gave me all my options up front. As a first time patient, I made an emergency appointment for an extraction the same morning I called and left very satisfied.

She is awesome! She’s been my dentist for about 2 years since I’ve been going to Springfield Lorton Dental Group. The hygenists are great too and I never feel any pain during my cleanings nor during the 1 cavity I had filled there.

I saw Dr. Brendmoen for several years while I was living in NoVa. She was always great and very thorough with my treatment plan — I never felt as though I was being talked into «extra» services that I didn’t need. Also, since she is part of the Springfield Lorton Dental Group, where there are a number of other dentists available to cover her appointments is she is out (I just wish that I had been notified ahead of time when she was going to be out so that I maybe could have rescheduled but I ended up seeing Dr. Tupman who was also very good). Another very positive note is that they always have a dentist on-​call so they can take care of any after-​hours concern. One of my only criticisms is that they are a little expensive so I tended to go through my insurance coverage fairly quickly if I opted to do all of the recommended work (a lot of it was my own fault, though, because I hadn’t seen a dentist for a little while before I found Dr. Brendmoen).
