Ive been going to this dental practice for about 3 or 4 years and theyve consistently been great! I really like that they have a high def TV for the patient. Theyve used it to show me past history/status, images of teeth and gums, x-rays, and theyve also used a live camera to point some things out.
What a stellar dental practice! My hygienist, Erika, was PHENOMENAL — kind, warm, welcoming, thorough, knowledgable, and attentive. She explained nuanced dental concepts in laymans terms that were easy to understand, and I left feeling confident that I had received a robust and comprehensive dental examination and cleaning! Dr. Ashley is also great — her expertise and experience are a huge asset to the practice.
NaLa smiles has the best dentists and hygienists. Ms. Katie was so thorough, answered all my questions patiently, and came up with the best plan of care for me since I’m currently pregnant. I really have never felt so calm and cared for at a dentist office as I did here. I highly recommend NaLa Smiles to everyone!
I would recommend NaLa Smiles to anyone who was looking for a dentist in Northern VA! The front desk, Erika my hygienist, and Dr. Masoud were fantastic. They thoroughly explained what was found during my exam and helped me make a plan about how to move forward. There is no pressure to make quick decisions and it feels like they truly care about their patients’ health.
Going to the dentist is not typically a pleasant experience, unless your dentist is Dr. Ashley Nguyen! I went for a crown and a filling, and I had a fabulous experience. From Dr. Nguyen to her dental assistant, everyone at the practice is extremely professional, fun and knowledgeable.Dr. Nguyens stories, restaurant tips, etc... make the time fly by! Her work is always impeccable and (painful) procedures are always bearable. I highly recommend NALA Smiles and Dr. Nguyen. Thank you for all you do, and for going above and beyond!
Cannot say enough good things about NaLa and all of their staff. The receptionist was so helpful and polite despite being absolutely slammed when I was there. The hygienist was knowledgeable, efficient, and told me everything she was doing and why. Dr. Masoud is phenomenal—so kind to everyone, extremely competent, and didn’t rush despite being busy. Great experience and this will be my recommendation to anyone I know who is looking for an amazing dentist.
Lovely staff, very professional, careful, attentive and always in good spirits. Everyone goes above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. I haven’t had a single bad experience at NaLa (knock on wood!). I’ve been with them for nearly a decade now and have gotten most of my relatives here to switch to them as well. So far, I’ve had Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Masoud do the work, which has been absolutely wonderful. And huge thanks to everyone else on the team!! Highly recommend NaLa Smiles!PS: Dentists should really consider putting people completely out before starting their work :))) Every single time I’m sitting there while they’re doing work on my teeth, I’m thinking “Honey you probably look like a complete dork right now with the extra large pitch black terminator glasses on and your mouth looking crazy because of the numbing creams & shots” :))))
Dr. Imam was kind and caring. She made sure I was comfortable during my dental procedure. She was able to answer all my questions and had great bedside manner. Would recommend to family and friends. Will return.
Every experience I have had with NaLa Smiles has been wonderful. They are attentive and answer all of my questions, and Dr. Imam and Crystal are absolutely wonderful. Dr. Imam explains procedures, what needs to be done, and why. They are always so personable and do an amazing job at making dentist visits enjoyable and not stressful! I appreciate Crystal always ensuring I am comfortable during my visits. I would highly recommend Dr. Imam, Crystal, and the rest of NaLa Smiles to anyone looking for a dentist in Northern Virginia.
They were very thorough with the cleaning that they provided to me and full of tips to help me take care of my teeth while I wait for my next check up and cleaning.
Myself and family have been patients here for more than a decade. The staff have always taken great care of us. Five stars
This dental business is the best that I have ever found. Not only is everyone incredibly competent, but they are also interested in making the experience agreeable cost-wise. Their front office staff introduced me today to a dental plan for persons who do not carry dental insurance, and that plan will help make my dental care more affordable. While many offices attempt to bill the most money possible, these people want clients to be well-treated and fairly-treated. I highly recommend them!
Dr Masoud was very thorough and explained three different options for my tooth needing repair. He explained costs and plus/minus for each option; specific to my particular situation and tooth. He spent all the time necessary for me to cover all my questions.
I have not been to a dentist in several years (ashamed to admit but probably 4+ years!!) and Im so glad that my first time back was with Dr. Hala Imam. She was mindful of my comfort level during the exam and explained all of the work that she was doing to help get my teeth healthy again. If there was additional work outside of cleanings she shared a plan of how to tackle the issues. Her honesty and disarming demeanor makes my dental visits 100% stress free. I loved working with her so much that Ive referred my whole family who now sees her and several coworkers. Make your appointment today with Dr. Hala and her lovely assistant, Krystal. You will NOT regret it.
I am new to the area and was nervous about finding a new dentist when I started experiencing a pain in my tooth! NaLa Smiles was able to get me an appointment quickly, even being a new patient. Dr. Nguyen was very compassionate to my pain and really listened to my concerns. She quickly acted to remedy my issue. I am so appreciate to her and her friendly staff and will be utilizing her office again!
It is strange that I love going to the dentist? The staff here is the best! Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Imam are incredible! Both will put you at total ease and do an incredible job! My favorite dental asst. is Krystal (she literally saved my life last year). If you are looking for a very good dentist, you dont have to look any further.
First routine check-up in the US as a Brit and immensely impressed with the highly professional and friendly approach. Dental treatment has come a long way!
Excellent. I was a client before Dr. Nguyen sold the business to NaLa and the dental care offered has kept its high standards, plus Dr. Nguyen is still part of the team. However, the front desk has changed (reception) and they definitely need to improve in their customer service skills, it’s lacking.
Love the Hygenist, Erica. Her customer care outstanding. The receptionist was helpful by explaining my dental insurance. Grateful for finding a good dentist. Hard to find, so Im grateful.
Trenna, my hygienist, did a wonderful job cleaning my teeth. She is so thorough and really took her time. Staff was welcoming. Dr. Imam was very sweet and explained with detail. Overall - GREAT EXPERIENCE!
I had my first dental appointment and a cleaning at NaLa Smiles this morning. Every aspect of my visit and experience was 5-star from the welcoming reception, short wait time, quick x-rays, detailed dental assessment and consultation, and the professional teeth cleaning. NaLa Smiles offers a personable, efficient, credible, and superior dental care process, and I am very happy to have selected this practice for my dental needs. Additionally, Dr. Imam was superior in all elements of her patient care and the treatment options offered, and her dental assistant, Crystal, was equally professional and gracious. Im very pleased I selected NaLa Smiles for my familys long-term dental care.
Went to my post VID cleanup and checkup. Their facility is super nice, even though I love the old school elevator going up. Highly recommend their dental office, staff, and dentists!!!
Dr. Ashley has a great chair-side manner and equally artistic dental work. Dr. Ashley rocks!
I love this office, and Dr. Nguyen and she is wonderful. Her staff is also top notch, including the front desk, her assistant, and the dental hygienist. The icing on the cake is shes in a terrific neighborhood just 4 blocks from the river and also walking distance to my home.
Dr. Nguyen is Star-mazing and I truly appreciate her kind behavior and positive attitude. I give her and her team 5 stars!
Ive been looking for a local dentist in the Alexandria area and glad I found NaLa Smiles. The staff was very friendly and my dental hygienist (Trenna) was happy to answer any questions I had and explain what she was doing throughout my cleaning. They were able to run my insurance and provide estimates for some follow up work that I needed done before scheduling the next appointment. I am looking forward to future visits and would recommend this office.
Before coming to NaLa Smiles I had experienced some truly awful dentists in the DC area. The team at NaLa instantly put my mind at ease and made every effort to ensure my comfort. Dr. Masoud was professional and exceptional during my wisdom teeth extraction - I couldnt have had a better procedure.Thanks NaLa Smiles! I will be staying with this dentist for as long as possible.
This is the only dental office Ive ever went back to and have been coming here for years. I have extreme anxiety related to dentists and any medical work around my mouth, every person in this office has always been empathetic to that, patient with me, and gentle on all the dental work Ive had. I literally refer everyone I know to this office. Dr. Ashley N and her team are AmazinG.
Amazing service. This is exactly what you look for in a dentist. Modern equipment, great customer service, amazing job conducting the work. You cannot ask for anything better. So happy I found this place.
I am always amazed by the hygienists. It seems like each time I come for a cleaning or check up they are better than before. You might need to add a sixth star because you get better with each visit.
Highly recommend NaLa Smiles. Receptionists are friendly and very helpful in estimating the costs of various procedures. Dr. Nguyen is excellent as are the dental hygenists as well.
My mind was at peace because of the conversation with my hygienist. Exceptionally skilled at working with a wide variety of problems and offering options to resolve dental concerns. Kind, gentle, compassionate care.
This dental office is great! I have been seeing Dr Ashley Nguyen for many years and its always a great experience. Very happy with them.
Staff and dentist.. Friendly, professional, and so knowledgeable. I’m glad I found this practice so close to home in Old Town North!
I have had a lot of past issues. They did a great job with my anxiety. Highly recommend them!
Staff is great, have been going there for years but their recent addition gives no privacy whatsoever. You can see the head of the person being treated a few feet from you and the wall does not go far enough to give privacy. Very uncomfortable on top of seeing them being treated you can obviously hear everything as well. Horrible design.
Always a good experience since I’ve been going here the past 5 years and Dr Imam is extremely pleasant!
What a gem! I had a outstanding visit today at this office. My dental hygienist was phenomenal educating me on the proper technique to floss so that I may keep my teeth healthier for ages to come.The dentist was outstanding giving me great information about my teeth. It has been such a long time since I’ve been apart of such a wonderful team.I felt like family from the moment I arrived. I will be making Nala smiles my new dentist even if I have to travel each year!
They are always speedy at getting you in but then good and attentive once you are in the chair! Bonus is they are only a few blocks away :) Happy I found them.
Care is great and is very encouraging/resourceful about my dental needs. Very careful and precise with their operations and get the job done exceptionally well!! Always a pleasure coming into their office 😄👍
My visit was one of the BEST dentistry visited in recent years. The Dentist and office staff were AWESOME. I will retain it as my Dentistry. Thanks to all of you.
I’ve gone here twice and they’re pretty great. They will work with you and your insurance.
Top Notch exam and cleaning from NaLa Smiles. Service was professional and thorough and they were very clear that I need to floss more because they care about my dental health.
Katie is a terrific dental hygienist ! She takes time to explain things multiple ways so her tips and suggestions will be retained. She has a gentle touch and is very responsive. I’m so glad I found NaLa Smiles!
Quick, painless (literally and figuratively), and kind staff. I haven’t had any issues so maybe you won’t either! Would recommend.
Wonderful Staff! Wonderful service! Just a amazing experience! Started the day as a New Patient and left as a very eager patient ready to return! Thanks!
Amazing team. Professional, efficient, friendly.
I’ve been a patient for many years and this practice continues to impress me.Last night my crown came off. I was leaving town in the morning and needed to have it put back on first thing. I called as soon as they opened and let them know the situation. They told me to come in ASAP and they would work me into the schedule.I left town as planned, and on time.THANK YOU NALA!
Dr. Hala Imam at Nala Smiles: Best skills – Best care – Best cost. I have problematic restorations. Most dental practices are purely business model driven. Finding a dentist that puts the patient first requires test consults. Finding a dentist with outstanding skills comes with sacrifice: My mouth and wallet have both suffered. Finding a practice with fair pricing in this affluent area, is a God send. Once my perception of color and translucency were more acute than the dentist whose chair I was sitting in. Ironically, it was the most impressive dental office I had ever seen. I was lured by a glossy mailer. I interrupted the sales pitch by popping out of the chair. I would like to think I could at least spare someone what I’ve gone through. Finding Skills, Care, and Cost in this area is like finding a needle in a haystack.
I cant speak highly enough of NALA Smiles. I have been a patient of Dr. Nguyen for years and she is efficient, knowledgeable and down to earth. Now that theyve expanded and able to do more dental work in house Ive had an implant done with Dr. Masoud. He is so helpful and friendly. He made sure to explain everything before/as he was working. He even built in time to address another issue during my appointment (as opposed to making me return for another visit). Great dentists. I would highly recommend.
A great dental practice full of professionals.The front desk staff are incredibly skilled in customer service, scheduling, and are quickly able to provide insurance estimates.The hygienists are incredibly knowledgeable and take great care to not cause pain while cleaning.The dentists have amazing bedside manner, perform excellent work (both in addressing issues and providing a good cosmetic finish), and are willing to take the time to listen to their patients rather than rushing us through like cattle.There are dental offices closer to our home, but we choose to stay with this practice for all the reasons above. Thank you for providing many years of service!
Alex was my dental hygienist. Arguably, the best Ive ever had. He was incredibly thorough and explained everything as he did it. This was my first visit. Ill be back indefinitely. I get the whole office is staffed with folks of his caliber. Give them a shot.
Great team, highly professional, and friendly. I usually hate going to the dentist but they made it a very easy experience. Highly recommend.
I’ve always been super weary of dentists and hated going to them as a kid but this office / staff makes me feel so at ease. Everyone is so very kind, from the front staff to the dentists themselves. Definitely glad I decided to go to this office!
Dr. Imam and Krystal are the absolute best! Nothing but wonderful service every visit.
The best dental experience I’ve ever had! Dr. Imam is professional, friendly, honest and caring. All the staff were thorough and helpful. Thank you NaLa Smiles for a wonderful experience at the dentist! (Even with a cavity filling!)
Great service. Very convenient in Old Town.
Very nice dental experience - the people that work here are fantastic. I highly recomend them they are very professional. I have been coming here for about 10 years.
Dr. Ashley and her team are the best. I have been a patient for more than 10 years and hope Dr. Ashley never retires. This week, I had an emergency dental issue and required a crown. Dr. Ashley fit me into her busy schedule and the entire procedure from start to finish was painless much to my relief. In addition Dr. Ashley and her team are up front about pricing, insurance, etc. I love knowing what to expect.
All of the staff are extremely friendly and careful. They take every precaution. They also explain exactely what they are doing and why. Very professional.
Outstanding customer service and superb staff!
Dr. Nguyen is the best dentist I have been to. Her entire staff are very professional. Would highly recommend Nala Smiles.
Great Team at NaLA Smiles. New patient and couldnt have asked for a better experience!
Very clean environment and professional staff! I love coming here. They really care and always a very personable experience that suits my comfort.
Excellent dental hygienist- very helpful and informative. Dentist is best I’ve found in the area
Excellent service. Felt very safe having my check-up during this uncertain times. Dr. Nyugen is very pleasant and thorough in examination and explanation in everything.
Dr Nguyen is my dentist and I have been seeing her for years. Both she and the office staff are great. I would highly recommend her, I always have a good experience.
This is a wonderful dental practice. The staff is incredible, they are kind, caring and professional. Dr. Ashley Nyguen is an excellent dentist. She cares about her patients!
Kim or KD is the best person who I have worked with for teeth care.
Excellent service, friendly staff, office assistants go the extra miles to help patients with their dental insurance plans. I highly recommend this practice.
I’ve been going to NaLa for some time but this was my first time having an appointment with Dr. Iman. She was fantastic. She listened and was accommodating. Despite having two fillings done, I’ve never felt so at ease with a dentist so quickly. I highly recommend her and the practice. Also her assistant for the fillings, Crystal, was also fantastic.
Been going here for years now, love them! Staff is professional and friendly
Great dentists and hygienist! I couldn’t be more satisfied ! Highly recommend place
I’ve been seeing Dr. Nguyen and her staff, now NaLa Smiles, for four years now. Easily the most reliably pain free dentists I have ever seen, including a couple filling replacements. Very pleasant and organized staff as well. I highly recommend them.
Great dentist and an awesome staff, thank you!
Continues to be the best in the area. Great staff. Each member of the office, front the front desk to the dental hygienists and Dentists all genuinely care about their patients. Professional, courteous, responsive, and efficient. Tried several dentist in the greater WMA before discovering NaLa Smiles. Hands down the winner. Happy to be a patient.
As always, Dr. Nguyen was THE BEST! She took the time to explain exactly what my issue was and what she was going to help. Five star dentist for sure!!
The office did a really nice job with their handling of the pandemic. It was as safe as any indoor visit could be. My teeth are clean and I felt like a valued patient. A very pleasant visit.
Great practice that is expanding. Abe and team are excellent. Would highly recommend.
I have been with this dentist since 2008. Upon returning from Japan in 2013, I returned to the best dentist in the world. The staff is super duper awesome and friendly, they take their time to explain Everything that is affecting your 👄. The dentist has always been the most dreadful place to go but I look forward to going to NaLa Smiles because it is always a pleasure to see the dentist. Most satisfied.
Friendly and oh, so, careful during this pandemic. Ive been going here for 4 years. They recently added dentists to the Old Town office. The dentists (old and new) dont push you into having work on your teeth that you dont need. That builds trust.
Great practice! I was a patient of Dr. Nguyens before the practice became NaLa Smiles and I can attest that this team has only continued its trend of providing increasingly better and better care.They use some pretty hi-tech equipment to check/track your dental health and even show you in detail whats going on inside your mouth. Still, its priced for the everyday patient (not like some other expensive, boutique practices).I would highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and NaLa Smiles to anyone seeking dental care in DC or Northern Virginia.
I was nervous about seeing my dentist during this Covid pandemic but once NaLa Smiles explained their safety procedures I confirmed the appointment. I called when I arrived, my temperature was taken at the door, I was greeted by masked & gloves employees and I saw that the instruments were sealed.This office is efficient, professional, friendly and skilled. I highly recommend this office.
I have several problems with sinus, sleep apnea, etc. I had been going to Dr. Nguyen for sixteen years and had terrific work done on my teeth and with the best service ever. I moved to Cape May, NJ and no one would work with me concerning my problems. I now take the ferry to Lewes, Delaware and drive 2 1/2 hours back to National Landing Smiles to have my root canal and crowns completed. Then repeat the drive and ferry crossing back home on the same day. That is how good they are! Ibrahim Masoud, DDS, an excellent addition to Dr. Nguyens office, (National Landing Smiles) spent hours to both complete a root canal and then pack the tooth and its adjacent tooth for a temporary crown. I woke up the next day and for the first time in one year had no pain anywhere along my jaw! The temporary was so well done that due to covid -19 I did not go back until three months later and no problems had occurred. My actual crowns were placed over both teeth with multiple adjustments to ensure that the bite was perfect. I will be going back to have my implant and attaching crown completed by NalaSmiles. Having tried three different dentists in southern New Jersey, I will continue to take the four hour trip each way to have the best work on my teeth. They are the best!
The. Receptionist is always nice and the dentist is awesomeness but then I am bias since I have been going there since 2006
If your teeth are important to you: become a patient of this awesome team of dedicated Dentists and staff.
Wonderful people work at Napa Smiles! They are truly there to care for you. They are very good at what they do. I trust them for all my tooth work every time!
NaLa Smiles has done a great job of reorganizing their daily operation to accommodate COVID19 concerns.I felt comfortable in the office and in the chair for my first visit since before the pandemic began.Generally speaking I don’t like going to the dentist, but I’m happy with the service and I recommend Dr Ashley Nguyen and those in her office. They do a great job.
Went for my first check up during the pandemic. I was not worried as they have always been very good with sanitization and disinfection. They have stepped up their safety with social distancing (wait in your car to avoid crowding waiting room), face shields and gowns. Dr. Nguyen and her staff are the best!
Professional,nice, honest and fun people!I really had a great experience with Nala Smile.They didn’t try to sell me any product or service at all, everything was spot-on and neat.They were very honest with my oral health and declined the unnecessary treatment plan from another dental office .I can’t thank them enough .Definitely recommend it!
A great dental practice. Honest, caring, thorough, skilled. Have been going here for 10 years now.
We -- as a family -- were clients before the Dr. Nguyen sold the practice to the NALA partnership. While the deal hygienists remain great, I have lost confidence with the dentists. Despite not having a cavity in decades, suddenlybthe whole family seems to have a mouthful of cavities or areas of concern. In January, I had two cavities treated and the workmanship is was so poor that it needs to be replaced six months later.And, NY daughter was told that she needs a specialized treatment for which periodontists are NALA are amongst the few in NOVA who can perform the procedures. And, the procedure costs $5,000.Needless to say, after the shoddy workmanship on my tooth filling completed, we will be lookingbfot another dental practice.
This is the best dentist I ever been to!!!!
My crown fell out, and they were able to squeeze me in immediately. Admittedly, I’m a big baby, and both the Dr. and hygienist were incredibly patient and gentle!
The Staff is always professional and polite. The scheduled appointments are always prompt (you never have a delayed waiting time) Dr. Nguyen is very gentle and understanding to your needs, she fully explains the process of the procedure you will receive.I appreciate the complete and pleasant experience with NaLa Smiles.Rochelle Pauling
Today I got a great cleaning with great customer service.
National landing smiles is a wonderful dental practice serving my family for almost a decade. They take great care with our teeth. Highly recommend.
Best dentist ever! I’ve been going for about 5 years now. Reasonable, responsive, quick to get you into the schedule in emergencies, does the best cleaning and cavity fillings of any dentist I’ve ever been to.
Best dentist Ive been to in the DMV area. Excellent service and never encountered any real problems after being a patient for five years.
Great experience. Easy to find, appointment started early, teeth looked super clean and white when I left.
