Fallsgrove Endodontics

I went to Dr. Behnia for a root canal and it was actually a very pleasant experience. I firstly want to say that getting a root canal was not anywhere near as bad as I thought it was going to be. After getting numbed up, it was completely painless and fast (over in about 30 miutes!). I attribute this to Dr. Behnia and his staff. Watching him and his assistant throughout the process was like watching choreogrpahy– they obviously have performed these procedures many many times and were extremely efficient. Dr. Behnia was repeatedly asking how I was dong throughout the process and made sure that I was comfortable. Overall, would highly recommend.

Dr Behnia is wonderful! I won’t go anywhere else for a root canal. I have had three total root canals from him. He makes the process so painless and is constantly asking how you are doing and if you’re ok. He is also very very smart and friendly. They are also able to get you in pretty darn quick. I was in immense pain, and they got me in the NEXT day. Absolutely awesome!

I have never even had a cavity but need a root canal. I was referred to Dr. Behnia by Dr. Graham from Potomac Smiles. Dr. Behnia was very friendly and made a nerve wracking experience very easy. I would recommend him to all my family and friends!

I was referred to Dr. Ali Behnia from my dentist since I was having issues with hot and cold on a back tooth. This was the week before Thanksgiving. His office got me in the right away, evaluated my tooth, explained everything to me from how he determined I needed a root canal and how to prepare for the next day when he could do the procedure. The staff was friendly and answered all my questions. While I was being evaluated, Carla at the front desk, checked with my insurance to find out my coverage for the root canal. I was nervous on the day of the procedure but Dr. Behnia and his staff made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I left his office, went to lunch and had no problems. They called me the next day to check to see how I was doing and I told them great.
Saw my regular dentist the next day for my routine cleaning and it was a breeze. That weekend I, ust have been grinding my teeth and broke down my tooth. I called the office they fit me in and he took a quick x-​ray. Recommend I see my dentist to build tooth until I could come back in January, when I would have my new year dental benefits, tt of complete the crown.
My experience was great, I highly recommend Dr. Ali Behnia.

Can’t say enough good things about Fallsgrove Endodontics! I was in the midst of putting on my daughter’s wedding when the need for a root canal came up. My regular dentist could not get enough novocaine to dull the nerve to prepare for the root canal. Dr. Behnia and his staff squeezed me (two separate apts.) in to their schedule and got the job done with no pain! I had no waiting time for each appt. and staff was courteous and very competent. Answered all my questions re insurance. Dr. Behnia himself was very patient, with a sense of humor and explained everything, from questions about the X-​rays taken, to why and how the procedure he advised would play out. I have never had an endodontist willing to spend that much time answering questions and offering explanations. Got a follow up call the next day checking to see how I was doing.
I have had more experience with root canals and crowns over the years than I care to admit — meaning that I have seen several endodontists and have never had such a pleasant experience. I would highly recommend Fallsgrove Endodontics!

I felt trepidation going here, since I did need a root canal. What a pleasant surprise to find that the primary goal for Dr Behnia, besides restoring the tooth, was my comfort level. He’s marvelous! The staff is also excellent. Everyone is very caring, and it shows.
I highly recommend Dr Behnia

I would like to start by saying that I have no idea why the other two reviewers had nothing nice to say about this specialist. I’ve gotten root canals treated here numerous times and I’ve had nothing but the best experience. The doctor is very knowledgable, skillful and more importantly very honest, he uses the latest technology to give his patients that best treatment possible. his staff is extremely friendly, and helpful. I highly recommend this office to anyone that’s in need of a future root canal or even a second opinion because the doctor will give you his honest opinion and not perform a procedure if not needed as do a lot of other specialist I’ve seen do in the past.

I had gone to Dr. Behnia for second opinion. My tooth had an old root canal which was reinfected. I was recommended by my dentist and another endodontist to have the tooth extracted.
Dr. Behnia recommended to have a root canal surgery to clear the infection. I had the procedure done about six months ago. I thought it would have been complicated since the infection had gone into my sinus. However, not only did he fix the sinus complication, I have been able to save my tooth, pain and infection free. This was all done in his office, which mind you, is one of the cleanest and most modern dental offices I have seen. I would highly recommend him.

I has almost the exact experience at reviewer Sanjeeve. Came into the office, waited a while (about 25 – 30 min) had xrays taken, and then the dentist comes in. He looked inside my mouth for (this isn’t an underestimation, 30 seconds) and tells me that i could get a root canal if i wanted to and or go see a Periodontics if i wanted to. So i said, «I’m not a dentist, i have no idea what would be better, you as a dentist what would you recommend» and he still never gave me a straight answer. I was very disappointed as i have no knowledge of dentistry and am about to make a substantial investment on my teeth, i would like some help and an explanation of what needs to be done.
Oh and i didn’t mention that he saw me in the middle of treating his patient that was in the room next to me.
And there was still plastic on all of the equipment as if they recently purchased everything and didn’t want to get anything dirty on my account.
I would seek out someone else. Someone who cares about patients, especially potential patients.

Zero stars.
Took half day off from work to get treatment for a symptomatic tooth. After 90 minutes waiting in the chair, the extraordinarily condescending endodontist walked in, unceremoniously began tapping on my teeth with no explanation, and after a few x-​rays told me I needed to see his buddy the periodontist before any further work – about 5 minutes with me in 105 minutes of waiting. I went to another endodontist for a second opinion who said not only was the suggested periodontal procedure unnecessary, it shouldn’t be done prior to a root canal in the event of a tooth fracture. The consultant did the procedure then and there, and now it’s a year later, crown in place, never saw a periodontist for an unnecessary procedure. As a physician, I know how the buddy referral mining network goes and I almost got sucked in. Instead I just wasted some leave and my time. Obviously I’ll never go back to this crook but other people may have actually been treated politely and medically appropriately. Doubt it though.
