Q: Why choose Fairlington Dental?Â
A: Having faced significant dental challenges from childhood, I understand how vulnerable a patient can feel. That personal experience shapes the way I practice today. At Fairlington Dental, every patient is treated with empathy and seen as a whole person—not just a dental case. It’s important to me that each individual feels comfortable, heard and genuinely cared for. Our office isn’t just about fixing teeth, it’s about building trust and having a positive impact on our patients’ overall health.Â
Q: What can new patients expect during their first visit?
A: The first thing we do is listen. Instead of immediately telling you what we think you need, we start by getting to know your concerns, goals and health background. From there, we work together to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique needs—not a one-size-fits-all solution.Â
Good oral health starts at home. While regular dental visits are essential, what you do between appointments matters just as much. Our collaborative approach is designed to give you confidence and control over your oral health so you can live a healthier life and maintain a bright, lasting smile.Â
Q: Can you share a memorable patient experience?Â
A: During what seemed like a routine dental scan, we detected an unusual issue that, after further medical evaluation, turned out to be a serious health condition the patient had no idea existed. That discovery led to life-saving treatment. It was a powerful reminder that dentistry is about so much more than teeth—it’s the gateway to whole-body health.
