We recently moved back to DC and came here after not having been since 2021. This is hands down the best dental office I’ve ever been to. Our hygienist, Nita, is the most gentle, fun and caring. My dentist, Dr. Ardekani, was super thorough and very friendly. I referred my husband, mom and aunt right away. The front desk staff is also friendly and they make sure you are all set before you head out. Very efficient. :)

Dr. K and Irma did such a great job on my pinhole procedure! Irma was so nice to me and made me feel super comfortable in the space before we started. Dr. K was friendly, efficient and very knowledgable. I felt like I was in great hands the whole time! Also for my regular cleaning visits, I love having Tina as my hygienist, she is very good and incredibly fun to chat with. Definitely recommend this office!

Dr S is consistently kind, relatable, takes her time to explain what is being done and extremely professional. All of the dental assistants I’ve had have been incredible, especially Irma who made me feel extremely at ease and like I was chatting with an old friend. 10/10 would recommend and have spread the word to multiple friends!

This practice is blatantly attempting to make money off patients who don’t seek second opinions elsewhere. Every aspect of the practice felt rushed. The hygienist cleaning my teeth rushed through the x-rays, barely giving me any instruction and chastising me when I didn’t properly bite down on the device. She also immediately tried to sell me on getting a nightguard. The cleaning itself took hardly any time, and she didn’t even floss my teeth. She did try to tell me that I had gingivitis, because “all of my gums were bleeding.” Mind you, I had flossed the night before and none of my gums bled. I wouldn’t be surprised by one or two bleeding, but she emphasized it was all of them. The dentist came in and analyzed the x-rays in front of me with a sense of panic. I was told I would need 9-12 fillings total, and that he didn’t want to alarm me but I might need a root canal soon. He didn’t once open my mouth and poke around to investigate my teeth with his tools. I had a tooth that I was particularly concerned about, and it wasn’t looked at by the dentist or the hygienist. Something felt off to me considering that the last few times I had been to the dentist, my dentists had no concerns about my teeth other than keeping an eye on some old fillings. I went to another dentist to get a second opinion. This dentist took his time, listened to my concerns, and ultimately recommended that I get 2 fillings, MAYBE a third. Nothing was mentioned about gingivitis or night guards. This confirmed my suspicions that DC Pearls is exploiting patients to make money from gratuitous procedures.

Dr. Irma made me feel very comfortable and relaxed my whole visit, she is amazing and treats her patients like family. Dr. Ardekani is 100 percent the best dentist there and i highly recommend going to see him he is very fast and you will not feel a thing. I had very bad anxiety about going to the dentist before coming to visit this amazing place.
