Dental Associates of Arlington is the premier dental practice providing you and your family with all of your dental care needs under one roof. We are a general, cosmetic, pediatric, emergency, implant and sedation dentistry practice. We do offer some specialties including endodontics, pediatric, oral and maxillofacial surgery, periodontics, sleep apnea, and orthodontics.
Our Arlington office utilizes electronic claims processing (eClaims). By filing your claim electronically, information is submitted more efficiently and with fewer errors. This benefits our patients because the turnaround time on claims is faster and fewer claims are returned or denied. We are happy to submit your dental claims to your insurance company on your behalf.
The important thing to know about the dental microscope we use is that it enables us to obtain much higher definition and better lighting, which allows us to see significantly more detail than we'd be able to without such high magnification. We can see internal cracks in a tooth. We can also see accessory canals and other areas that someone who isn't using a microscope is unable to see or negotiate.
The practice will offer free dental exams, cleanings, extractions and fillings. Patients seeking treatment must be 18 or older and appointments will be on a first. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Procedures also include crown lengthening, scaling / root planning, bone grafts, and soft tissue grafts ARLINGTON, Mass.

Why did I do dentistry?
I have been practicing dentistry for over ten years. In that time, I have gained a better understanding of my patients, their fears and their treatment. They often come to my office feeling anxious, as though there is no possibility of having a comfortable experience. But I'm confident I can help erase my patients fears and provide gentle, advanced dentistry they can count on, so their teeth can cease to be a problem in their lives. That's why I became a dentist, to give people beautiful smiles and improve their health and well-being.

Sure, there are other options out there for straightening your teeth, but none offers the level of comfort, convenience and confidence that you'll find with Invisalign. And no matter what stage you're at in life, you'll appreciate how our cutting-edge approach to treatment has minimal interference in how you live, but has a significant positive impact on how you look and feel about yourself.

Dental emergency today. Reading office closed on Friday, so they accommodated me with an appt. in Arlington with minimal notice. Office and staff was professional in every conceivable way, treatment was prompt and performed at the highest level of quality. I'm thankful and impressed by this practice!

Myself and my family used this practice for the past year after our old practice closing down. There was good and bad. The customer service was generally friendly in the office though a bit corporate feeling. The reminder system is a bit over-happy and I got texts and emails constantly it seems, but that's not always a bad thing. There were two main things I didn't like: Firstly, ever member of our family had some extra service recommended on our first visit (after a lifetime of regular dental care).
This led to a feeling that the practice was a bit over-aggressive at pushing treatments. Especially before trust is established, I found this a little unsettling. Secondly, one of the recommended preventative treatments was sold to us because we were told that insurance paid for it. In the end, it did not so we were left for a bill for a service that felt somewhat optional.
I felt little empathy over this mistake from them. Our old practice would have either footed the bill themselves or called us up and apologized for the mistake and explained why the treatment was so important when clearly insurance disagreed. We were just sent a bill. This didn't bode well for a long-term relationship, so we stopped using them.

Dr Vora and her staff have totally changed going to the dentist for me. I was terrified of the dentist after some past bad experiences. She showed great compassion towards my anxiety. She offers sedation appointments which have probably saved my teeth. I send family members and friends here. Everyone is very nice and helpful. Lily will help you figure out payment so don't panic. A million thumbs up.

I recently visited Dental Associates of Arlington for a new patient appointment to establish care. Their online booking system was easy to use, and their response time to questions was incredibly quick- even on a weekend! After not going to the dentist for longer than I want to share publicly, I had anxiety about the cleaning and exam. The dental hygienist was wonderful; compassionate, knowledgeable, and really friendly. These traits seem consistent across the team, and I would recommend the Dental Associates of Arlington to anyone looking for oral care.

Arlington Dental Associates is a fantastic office. The staff is gentle and kind from the moment you walk in the door. As someone who is petrified of dental visits, their staff is sensitive and empathetic from the moment you call to set up the appointment! I'm so grateful to have my dental work done there!

My twins had their first dental appointment yesterday. One of the twins is excited by new experiences, the other is anxious. Dr. Nguyen and Mel were fantastic with both girls. My anxious girl was shown what to expect. For example, Dr. Nguyen blew the air on her hand and then asked if they could try on her teeth. Showing her what to expect and asking if she wanted to try made all the difference. Mel was just amazing. She has a daughter about the same age and knew exactly how to talk and approach the girls. Highly recommend this practice!

Let me start by saying right when I walked in, everyone in the building was smiling and ready to serve. The receptionists were very kind and I only had to fill out a few papers that took about 2-3 min. They told me to get comfortable and I will be seen shortly, they have a plethora of magazines to read with background music to put you in a zen type place.
The place was a little busy at the time, but wait was no longer than 5 min. I get called back to do X-rays and the whole nine for being a new patient. Once that was over I had the pleasure of meeting with the financial coordinator. She laid out my options of treatment and soon after had the doctor herself, Mr. Vora came in for an initial assessment of my teeth.
After a 5 min checkup the doctor sat down with me and told me the issues I have with my teeth and the recommended route for treatment. After the treatment recommendations from Doctor, it's money talk. The financial coordinator will go over the payment options and give you a better understanding about the treatment itself. The best thing about this place is they have financing if you need.
After the payment plan is settled, I went back to get a digital scan done for my Invisalign trays. Let me tell you, this practice is up to date and has a great atmosphere to it. The machine that did the digital scan gets sent straight to Invisalign and they start creating your whole batch of trays, which is incredible. By far the best dentist in Arlington. Big kudos to Dr. Vora and her team.

Dr. Vora is an awesome dentist! She is very skilled, has the latest technology in her office, but the best part is the way she treats her patients. She never rushes and she always listens. Her staff is terrific too - very on top of things, and so nice. Going to the dentist is not so fun, but I have no problem going to Dr. Vora's office. I highly recommend her!

Everyone, If you have ever searched for the perfect dentist, search no further! I continue to find Dr. Vora (and the entire staff) a dream to work with. I had a previous dentist who put a very deep filling in and it ended up touching the nerve. I feel like most dentists would have jumped to a root canal because I was in so much pain, but she took the time in "nursing" my tooth back to normal.
She used some old school ginger filling remedy and soon enough, my tooth was feeling better. Believe me, you won't be disappointed. Dr. Vora is simply the best! Dr. Vora was referred to me by a friend in the city stating she was, "simply the best in the city."
