New to the area, switching dentists, or just a little overdue? You’re in the right place. RNX Dental welcomes new patients of all ages, and we’ll make your first visit as easy and stress-free as possible.
Here’s exactly what to expect, from booking to the moment you walk out the door, so nothing about your first appointment is a surprise.
We’ll find a time that works around your schedule, including early Tuesday mornings and Wednesday evenings.
We’ll check your benefits ahead of time and let you know what’s covered, in plain English.
Do it online before you arrive, so you spend less time in the waiting room.
You’ll be greeted at our private side entrance and shown to a treatment room. No long waits.
Dr. Ghorab checks every tooth, your gums, your bite, and your tongue, cheeks and neck, including an oral cancer screening. We take X-rays if you need them. More on dental exams.
In most cases, your hygienist will clean your teeth at the same visit. More on teeth cleanings.
You’ll get a plain-English summary of what we found. If you need treatment, you’ll see your options and costs in writing, and there’s never any pressure to decide on the spot.
Switching dentists is easier than most people think. Just tell us the name of your previous office, and we’ll request your records and X-rays with your permission. That way we can see your history, avoid repeating X-rays you don’t need, and pick up right where you left off.
You’re not the only one, and you won’t be judged here. Many of our patients arrive after years away from the dentist, often because of a bad experience. Tell us what worries you, whether it’s needles, the noise, the cost, or just not knowing what’s going to happen.
We’ll explain each step before we do it, go at your pace, and stop whenever you need a break. Just raise your hand. You’re in control of your visit.
We see patients of all ages, so parents, kids and grandparents can all come to the same place. Booking back-to-back family appointments is easy. Just ask when you call, and we’ll line everyone up in one trip.
We accept most dental insurance plans, including most PPOs, and we’ll file claims for you. If you don’t have insurance, we’ll give you clear prices up front and help you plan any treatment in a way that works for your budget. See our insurance and payment page for more detail.
We’re at 2900 S Quincy St, Suite 120, Arlington, VA 22206, in Shirlington. Our office has its own entrance on the side of the building, directly across from the Shirlington bus station. Parking is simple, and we’re just off I-395.
Many practices rush new patients through a checklist. We use the first visit to get to know you: your dental history, what’s worked and what hasn’t, and anything you’re worried about. That time up front means better care later, because we understand what matters to you.
Our private side entrance means no stairs to climb, no big lobby to find your way through, and a short walk from parking or the bus station. If you have mobility needs, a medical condition, or anything else that would make your visit easier with a little planning, let us know when you book and we’ll be ready.
Plan for about an hour to an hour and a half. It gives us time for a proper exam, cleaning and conversation.
No. You can book with us directly.
That’s more common than you’d think. We’ll start with a gentle exam and build a plan that makes sense for you, one step at a time.
In most cases, yes. If your gums need a deeper cleaning, we’ll explain why and schedule it for a separate visit.
Yes. Use our online booking page, or call (703) 420-5250 if you’d rather talk to someone.
Book online in about a minute, or call us at (703) 420-5250. New patients are always welcome.
