George Papastergiou, DDS

Had veneers put on about 4 years ago with Dr. George and I have never been happy with them. They are way to big and have have fallen out about 6 times since I had them put on. About a week ago I had one veneer fall out and when I called to schedule an emergency appointment the front desk staff were super rude and told me the next appointment time was in 3 days! I then called my other dentist who squeezed me in immediately.
The customer service at this office is horrible and unfortunately I have no choice but to get the veneers redone. Please think twice before spending thousands of dollars on cosmetic dentistry.

Who knew a trip to the dentist could be such a treat? I initially went into the office for a consultation about veneers and I left with a schedule filled with future appointments. Dr. Papastergiou is not only very knowledgeable he is also infectiously friendly and takes his time with you. His office is in a great location, is really beautiful inside, and is pristine. His staff alongside him are very experienced and super friendly as well. I have jumped from one dentist to another while living in the same area my entire life. I think this place is it, the keeper, I have found the place where I will want to keep on coming back to, I have appointments so I am kind of obligated but still, and where I want to refer all of my family and friends. Also as an added bonus, when sitting in any of the dental chairs in the office you are given an a great second story view of outside rather than staring at a white wall or the parking lot! Highly recommend Dr. Papastergiou, one visit is all you need to understand what an amazing place this is!

I was always a bit nervous going to the dentist until I found Dr. George. The anxiety is gone. He really knows dentistry and cares about his patients. He doesn’t try to sell me unnecessary products or procedures. The staff is friendly and the office immaculate. Highly recommended!!!

Just cancelled all remaining appoints with Dr. George. My son was home for Thanksgiving and had an appointment to get a filling after his checkup this summer. He got to the office and Dr. George looked in his mouth and told my son he did not need the filling — told him maybe he had already done it? Sent my son home. I received a bill for $ 168.
This is the second time we’ve had a problem. In April my son went to have his checkup and they told him he needed to have his wisdom teeth removed. I called to ask if we could wait until Christmas break or if this was urgent. They said it was not urgent and Christmas would be fine. I made an appointment in May with the oral surgeon to get everything scheduled. The oral surgeon took one look and wanted to schedule it the next day! We had to fit the wisdom teeth around prom, finals, and graduation in order to get it done. If I had known it was urgent I would have called the oral surgeon in April and we would have been fine.

Have been to his office many times over the past years. He is good as long as you don’t have an issue. My fillings never took and getting that fixed just doesn’t happen. His staff can not reschedule. He insists if there is a problem call in and tell them he said to fit you in but that just is not how it works. I have had pain for six months and can’t get it fixed, but he has been paid and does not accept insurance so he has been paid well. I was also charged for repairs on bonding that broke within a few months of being done. I not only had to pay him to fix it but had to pay for new retainers because when you re-​bond you change the shape of the teeth which changes the fit of the retainers. Which means you have to make another appointment with your ortho and each day you are without retainers your teeth can change making years of ortho useless. Luckily I have a great orthodontist who can fit you in because you need retainers and because of this situation I had to buy new retainers, this should not be at my expense because it was not my fault his work broke but I had to pay not only my orthodontist but, I was shocked that on top of that he billed me. The upsetting part was this happened twice, had two teeth bonded and both broke!
He is very good, when the work is done right„ but if you have any problems with his work, getting that resolved is a nightmare!!!
Signed,
still having pain and can’t get an appointment!

Like most people, I searched for a dentist in my company’s dental network and picked a name at random. The woman dentist in the Tysons area told me I was a teeth grinder and needed at least one crown. I wanted a second opinion so I started asking around and someone referred me to Dr. George. He was out of network but I was desperate for someone good.
Dr. George spent 30 minutes looking at my teeth and explaining why I absolutely did NOT need a crown and how there is no evidence of teeth grinding at all (and described in detail what the signs would be). And this is the part I’ll never forget. He said he became a dentist because he’s in the business of saving teeth, not grinding them down to put a crown on them unnecessarily. But that’s where the money is so a lot of (unethical) dentists are anxious to do procedures like crowns even when it’s not needed. I knew right away he was a keeper.
That was 6 years ago and since then I’ve referred many friends and co-​workers to Dr. George and everyone raves about him and his staff. The cleanings are the easiest I’ve ever experienced (dare I say even pleasant?). Everyone is so friendly to the patients and eachother, they really seem to enjoy their jobs.

4.75 stars.
After my first visit to Dr. Papstergiou I’m definitely a fan.
I was a little nervous about finding a new dentist after my horrible experiences at my previous one. However, I can now rest assured I’ve found a good one.
The staff, the hygenist, and the dentist were all super friendly and helpful and good at explaining things. I feel completely confident that prior to any treatment they will thoroughly explain the situation and potential suggested treatments honestly and help me to understand before making a decision.
The only downside (which isn’t a big deal to me) is that they do not participate in any insurance plans, I think. I can pay with my flex spending debit card though. I guess they then submit the paperwork to my insurance, and I get reimbursed for some of it. I do appreciate that they handle the paperwork for you — that stuff always confuses me.

After two trips to Dr. George, I lovelovelove my new dentist. He has a fabulous staff… super friendly, super helpful, and super competent. Particularly the hygenists, all adorable and fun ladies who I actually like even more than the doctor, which is great considering you spend more time with them anyway. On my first visit the hygenist discovered that apparently my previous dentist office of many, many years was doing a NOT-​so-​fabulous job on routine cleanings. Ick. But despite spending twice as long as scheduled on me (something I would imagine I would not be thrilled about if I was on the other side of the chair)… she was unbelievably cheerful and told me it was «the most fun she had in a long time cleaning teeth». Hey, glad I could make you happy.
Fast forward two months and I was back today to clear up two tiny cavities — the first I have had in years (probably either due to, or missed by, the apparent neglect of said previous dentist). I can’t believe how quick and painless it was. Dr. George had me in and out in literally minutes. No kidding! Never thought I would actually enjoy my dentist so much.
