We handle most dental care right here in Shirlington, from your child’s first cleaning to replacing a missing tooth. That means fewer referrals, fewer offices, and one team that knows your history.
Whatever you need, you’ll get the same approach: a careful exam, a clear explanation of your options, a written estimate, and no pressure. Browse our services below, or call (703) 420-5250 if you’re not sure where to start.

Preventive care is the most important and most affordable dentistry there is. Regular visits catch problems while they’re small, and most insurance plans cover them well.
A full look at your teeth, gums and mouth, with an oral cancer screening at every visit. Catch problems before they hurt.
Gentle, thorough cleanings that remove the tartar brushing misses, plus deep cleanings for gum disease.
Care for kids, adults and seniors in one place, with back-to-back family appointments.
When a tooth is damaged, infected or missing, restorative care brings back comfort, function and confidence. We always try to save your natural teeth first.
Permanent replacements for missing teeth that look, feel and work like natural teeth.
If you’ve ever hidden your smile in photos, cosmetic dentistry can help you feel confident again. Results look natural, not “done.”
Straighten your teeth without metal braces. Dr. Ghorab is a certified provider.
A visibly brighter smile in under two hours, with take-home trays to keep it that way.

That’s what a checkup is for. Book an exam and we’ll look at everything, explain what we find, and help you prioritize. Some things are urgent, many can wait, and some don’t need treatment at all. We’ll be honest about which is which.
Most dental plans, including PPOs, cover preventive, restorative and emergency care. Cosmetic treatments like whitening usually aren’t covered. Either way, we’ll give you a clear written quote before any work begins. See insurance and payment.
If you need more than one treatment, we’ll help you prioritize. Problems that could cause pain or infection come first. Things that protect your teeth for the long term come next. Cosmetic improvements come whenever you’re ready. We’ll also look at your insurance to see whether spreading treatment over two plan years could save you money.
We use digital X-rays, which give clear images with a very low dose of radiation, and modern materials like tooth-colored fillings and natural-looking crowns. For Invisalign®, a digital scan lets you preview how your teeth will move before you start.
Our office is in Shirlington, just off I-395, which makes us easy to reach from across Arlington and Northern Virginia. Patients visit us from Fairlington, Alexandria, Parkfairfax, Crystal City, Pentagon City and Columbia Pike. Our private side entrance sits directly across from the Shirlington bus station, and parking is simple.
We’re not interested in one-off visits. Our goal is to be your dental home for years: the office that knows your history, spots changes early, and helps you plan ahead so there are fewer surprises and lower costs over time.

General dentistry keeps your mouth healthy and fixes problems, like cleanings, fillings and crowns. Cosmetic dentistry improves how your smile looks, like whitening, bonding and Invisalign®. Many treatments do both.
We handle most care in-house. If you need something outside our scope, we’ll refer you to a trusted specialist and coordinate with them.
Most plans cover preventive care well and restorative care partly. Cosmetic care usually isn’t covered. We’ll check your plan for you.
