I have been a patient of Dr. Donald Vavides for 10+ years since moving to Washington, DC. Previously, I had a poor success rate and a general mistrust of dentists. I have received numerous fillings, crowns, 3 bridges, and veneers from Dr. Vafides. Dr. V has a quiet manner, and never chastizes me. He has high standards, is a perfectionist in his field for a perfect fit and little room for errors. Once he didn't like a crown we had ordered from the lab, and he returned it twice for correction. Dr. V and his staff take extremely good care of their patients in a friendly and courteous manner. Since I am plagued with bad teeth, they are always accommodating in getting me into their office quickly. Dr. V has referred me to oral surgeons for 2 dental implants (not so fun) and did the crowns afterwards. Overall, Dr. Vafides is painless and stress-free with his patients. His treatment will provide excellent results. I can't believe I have a beautiful smile. Insurance help, not a problem with the front office.
