AVANTI Dentistry

I agree with the other reviewers who mention the costliness of the services here. At every single appointment, Dr. Farshad is recommending additional costly services. Its now at the point where I don’t trust any of his recommendations anymore, I always go get a second opinion.
On the other hand, the staff is really nice and the Dental Hygienist (her name is Mai) is wonderful. The only other person worth mentioning is the Endodontist, Dr. Lee– for her terrible bedside manner, she will never touch me again.
Shop around if you can.

This was my first experience with the Avanti team and Dr. Farshad. I am happy with every single person I have dealt with during my visit/​s. Anna, who took my appointment and also checked me in and out was excellent. She went above and beyond her duties to help me; she is a very pleasant person and a great choice to have as a front face of the practice, because most of the time its not the competency of the doctor or quality of medical care that takes a practice to the next level but the people who deal with the patients in the first moment they walk in and the last before they walk-​out.
In addition, I was also very pleased with the way Tram took the time to explain the treatment plan, insurance/​payment rules and reasons for certain levels of pricing. She has excellent communication skills; very professional yet very personable.
I am sorry that her name escapes my memory but the dental hygienist was also very nice. She clearly communicated my condition and what it required without being pushy. She was also very mindful of my pain level while doing the cleaning, which was wonderful. And for the last but not the least, I have really enjoyed meeting and speaking with Dr. Farshad. He gave me a very comprehensive yet to the point report on the condition of my teeth. They point out every little cavity you may have to cover their bases that may be overwhelming financially and psychologically but their reasons are understandable. Their prices surely reflect the luxury amenities and the high level of service they offer and at the moment I cannot afford all of the recommended treatments but if I could, I believe the services would be more than satisfactory. I recommend you give it a try especially if you have an insurance plan in-​network with them.

If you wonder how they can afford the flatscreen TVs and the fancy office in the high rent district of Tysons corner it’s because Avanti will charge you obscene amounts of money for work that does not need to be done. I had my front tooth knocked back and it needed to be pushed back in per ADA guidelines. Instead of doing so, they left it in a position that did not allow me to close my mouth– I could not eat/​chew– put braces along the top row teeth and charged my thousands of dollars when it should have been pushed back in and splinted (a much less expensive option). I had to visit an oral surgeon the next day to have the braces removed and proper work done. The oral surgeon suggested I report them to the ADA and said the work they had done was pointless. If you have cadillac dental insurance and want to settle into a comfy chair and watch tv while they do costly unnecessary work this is the place for you.
Staff is nice and office is clean but dont trust them with your teeth or money.

Do NOT go to this place! I had braces 10 years ago but my teeth relapse after braces were off so I made an appointment with Avanti Dentistry for a free consultation. When I made appointment over the phone, I was told that the consultation would be free. When I got there I checked with the front desk again and they told me that they will not charge me since the consultation is free. My problem was very minor and all of the orthodontists told me that it can be fixed within 6 – 12 months if I do invisalign and it should not cost more than $ 3,500. First of all, this place’s quote was almost $ 8,000 which is $ 4,500 more expensive than the other three orthodontists I’ve seen. So I told them I probably will go with another orthodontists since their price is too expensive. Second, Dr. Ignacio Blasi was very pushy and he kept asking me that when I can come in again so that they can start fixing my teeth. I was very uncomfortable during the appointment. Today I got a bill from the insurance company. It show the insurance can only can part of the service and I have to pay for some. Obvious they CHARGED me for the consultation! They have filed insurance claim after my appointment without notifying me and getting my approval. I called them right away and the receptionist simply said they are sorry for miscommunication but the consultation is NOT free. I’ve choose to get a consultation at this place because I see the good review on Unilocal,but now I feel I have responsibility to leave a comment on Unilocal and suggest everyone NOT to go to this place.

I went to Avanti Dentistry for over two years. I found them to always be pleasant and dedicated. Dr Farshad was always gentle, engaged and very professional. I think that the level of dental service is quite high. The staff was always friendly.
Unfortunately, the doctor’s office staff is very disorganized, making it quite difficult to determine and control costs. The receptionist would promise one thing about charges; the doctor another; the head of the billing department yet something else… As a final word, the doctor’s wife would add her own opinion as to the final bill. This was frustrating and ultimately expensive.
This lack or organization also manifested itself in the poor way that the office coordinated with the dental insurance companies. The office seemed often lost in the predetermination process and in following up with the insurance companies.
In closing, while the quality of the care was high, I needed a more organized dental team to allow me to understand and control cost in my dental decisions. I certainly did not want to be thrust into the fray with the dental insurance companies; there are plenty of other local dental offices which can handle that for me.

Having general dentistry, cleaning and specialists all in one office along with the ability to create crowns and other lab-​specific capabilities in-​office saves so much time and several trips. The office is much more efficient than others I’ve been to. Everyone is top-​notch! This means getting the best service and value with the least amount of time spent in the chair

This office is top-​notch, warm, and detailed to perfection– which compliments their impeccable service. You know you are in good hands when you are here, and the experience is worth it.

I happened to stumble upon on Avanti Dentistry about 2 yrs ago.
Long story ‘short,’ I went to someone else (before knowing Avanti Dentistry) out in Lorton Station and had a root canal and some fillings done. A few days later, that tooth was hurting and I was unable to bite down. I went back and the dentist told me that my gum was swollen bc of the root canal and that she’ll shave down my tooth to help ease the pain. She did that, and still, I had pain in that tooth. Went back, same thing was done (told me it’s still swollen and shave down my tooth).
After being in pain for over 2 months, I hit the mark where the pain was unbearable. I searched online for a dentist near my work (Tyson’s) at that time, and called a few places and had no luck. However, the last place I called was Avanti. Who was willing to see me right away. After that, it was history.
Dr. Farshad took me right away. Looked at my tooth/​gum and told me that it was infected. He and his staff took care of me ASAP and treated me like VIP.
I will never forget his attentiveness to my pain. He literally fixed everything within an hour!!! That’s the type of service that will make me come back to him over and over. He and his staff are so warm and welcoming and I couldn’t be happier with my dentist. Thank you, Dr. Farshad and team!!!

After years of neglect, Dr. Bita and Anna had several long sessions to restore my teeth. She is a wonderful person and a competent and caring doctor!
When I asked about the relation to my sinus and the work she was performing, she did an in-​office 360 degree CT scan and determined that I had? blocked sinus?. Her recommendation to see an ENT doctor proved? right on?!
I flunked the pre-​op heart EKG test and had to see a cardio doctor before the ENT surgery. While the removal of a sinus polyp proved not to be cancerous, tests showed that I had inverted papilloma. Which had a 10% chance of becoming cancerous and had to be removed.
Thanks to the good doctor Bita caring about me, we fixed a potential serious heart problem and removed the nasty sinus inverted papilloma!

This is the single best dental practice I have ever been to: clean, comfortable, modern, friendly, professional. I have been going to Dr. Farshad and Dr. Bita for the last couple of years. Before, going to the dentist was a torture, but now I don’t think twice about it. they are very knowledgeable, experienced, but most importantly attentive to your needs and sincerely cares for their patients. Anytime I have an emergency, they see me right away and that is very comforting. The staff is also very friendly and rather accommodating. I suggested this Dental office to all of my friends. and family.

Amazing experience at the dentist office! Who says that? If you go to Avanti Dentistry in Tysons, Va, you will!
I love the doctor and his entire staff. Knowledgeable, caring, patient, nice and simply the best dentist experience ever! And I had to get stuff done!
My 11 year old loved it there too. State of the art equipment, nice place with amazing staff. Don’t look anymore, this is the dentist you need to see.

The staff at Avanti are fantastic and made my multiple extensive experiences more comfortable than I would’ve thought possible! Everyone is extremely sweet and do a great job at explaining the procedures and educating their clients on proper oral hygiene. I would highly recommend Avanti to anyone needing any sort of dental work. You won’t be let down!

First off — let me start by saying upon entering this establishment the staff at the front desk were EXTREMELY warm, welcoming, and engaging. They were concerned about my state of well being, being as though my tooth was causing me SO MUCH PAIN! The ladies at the desk offered me water, or coffee in efforts to make me feel comfy which I loved as I am TOTALLY SPOILED :)
Next — I was called to be seen and led to the back to the examination chair. The view while in the chair was BEAUTIFUL & RELAXING :) There was a flatscreened tv accompanied by soft music to help a nervous patient such as myself just to calm your nerves down. I met with Dr. Farshad Farhoumand for my examination, and though he got on my butt for not keeping up on my teeth it all came from a area of concern from him :) It felt as if I was talking and laughing with an uncle of mine from my family! He was so cool, warm, and caring that you wanted to take heed to what he was saying. AWESOME & KNOWLEDGABLE MAN! I had to have 2 teeth extracted, so I met with their financial rep (forgot her name) but she was very warm also and straight forward which I like :) She also was very open to assisting me when open enrollment comes up on my job so that Im sure to choose the plan that would best benefit me and these horrible teeth of mine! LOL .
Finally — I met Dr. Aliousy who performed my extractions and bone grafts. Thid guy is TRULY AMAZING and knowledgable in regards to his expertise! He is very personable, and does all he can to make you feel comfortable while in his chair. He actually JUST called me and provided me his personal cell in the event I am in need of anything or had any additional questions/​concerns in which I greatly appreciated :)
All in all — I would DEFINITELY recommend this practice to anyone in need of a dental practice who genuinely cares about your well being, and what will be best for YOU at the end of the day. I will DEFINITELY be back this practice for sure! #BeyondPleased. :)

I have been using Avanti Dentistry for number of years and I confidently can say that I have received the most excellent, caring, and painless treatments, along with consultations and advise of the highest integrity and degree. Open and honest pricing, along with an extremely caring and friendly staff made my appointments comfortable. This is a dental practice at its best. I am ignoring the bogus negative remarks on Unilocal and other sites that are posted by their competition, I’m willing to verify anytime anywhere. Among my treatments were 8 crowns that were done two years ago in one appointment, saving me a tremendous amount of time but more importantly they are in great shape, comfortable, and worthy of a smile.

Thank you so much for treating me and my husband last month and helping maximize our annual dental benefit. We had been caring for two terminally ill parents while raising young children which left little time to take care of ourselves and our teeth the last three years. I had a complex treatment plan due to a previous illness that affected my teeth. Dr. Farshad accomplished five fillings and a crown without resorting to root canal. And, as an added benefit he created and placed my (gorgeous!) crown in ONE VISIT (not the usual two visits where they place a temp crown which is usually ill fitting, uncomfortable and inconvenient to say the least)! Candidly, I know this is a bit nerdy to say– but it was actually fun to watch him design the crown on the computer screen after careful measurements were taken and in less tan 15 minutes this beautiful, color matched, highly resilient «tooth» (crown) was ready to install.
I cannot say enough about his office staff as well. Everyone was so kind. We are telling all our friends about your practice. We are excited to see your new location in Tysons in a few weeks, too. Thank you again. Keep up the good work!

Recently visited their office, located in vienna. Dr. Farshad was my dentist. I had to get a root canal done as well as a crown. Last time i had to get a crown done they had to do it at another facility and then i had to come back when it arrived a couple of days later for a fitting.
Once he filled my Root canal, Dr farshad hooked me up to some computer with images etc started snapping away and trimming edges of a computer generated tooth. 30 minutes later the tooth was printed. He put it in fixed my bite and everything was done within 1 hour. I didn’t have to go back. They had all of the necessary technology on the spot.
Overall my experience was great, considering i hate dentist. Definitely will be back if i have any issues.

I highly recommend coming here! Dr. Farshad is a family friend so I make it a point to see him whenever I go down to VA to visit my family. Other than the fact that I know him, I like to go here because it’s just so much more comfortable than any other dentist I’ve been to, and I HATE going to the dentist! His daughter, Bita, is also just as good. She’s been practicing for several years (not sure what the lady below was talking about) and is getting specialized in implant surgery. Overall, really great staff and a comfortable experience.
I wish i lived here so I could go more regularly, but it’s definitely worth the trip!

I was recently in VA for a busines trip and had a tooth emergency! I found the closest reputable practice, and sure enough, Avanti Dental Center did not disappoint!
I believe Dr. Farshad worked on my tooth, and the pain was minimal (nothing that he can really do about it) and the prices were reasonable. I wish we had more practices like this in Boston!
