Economides Mino, DDS

Dr. E is truly one of the best dentists in the area. He doesn’t use a hygienist so he does all of the work himself. He’s incredibly efficient — always on time & waiting for me when I arrive, always gets me out of the chair when he says he will. The only drawback is that he’s so popular it’s hard to reschedule an appointment (usually he’s 100% full at least three or four months out). If you have a predictable schedule and can get on his rotation as a patient, you can’t go wrong.

After living in Arlington for 7 years, I have finally found my dentist! Dr. Economides is a dentist in the truest sense of the profession. My previous dentist’s office converted into a «cosmetic dentistry» practice which means they jacked up their prices, bought expensive art, painted the walls wicked white, and hired a bunch of people to do his job.
Dr. Economides does all of the work himself: cleaning, xrays, and even started filling out my claim form before I told him I’d be happy to do it. He also seemed very knowledgeable and answered my questions honestly. The cleaning was very thorough and totally pain free. He only took 2 xrays — not 8 like my «other» place — which was fine by me, less radiation and less money.
…And he took me exactly on time! When was the last time that happened at a doctor’s office? I almost can’t wait to go back for my 6-​month check-​up and cleaning.

As far as Dentists go, this office is at the top! I’ve walked by the office (which is in a house) hundreds of times since it’s on my way to the metro, so when I needed to find a local dentist for a check-​up it was the first place I looked at. I was a bit worried that I would never find a dentist I liked as much as the one I grew up with, but I’ve definitely found a new regular office.
The interior is nothing fancy, just your average docter’s office waiting area. As I was filling out my new patient form I kept hearing a little girl giggling in the background as her teeth were being brushed! When she left, she was beaming and looking at the little kid’s ring she had been given as a prize. As soon as I was done, Dr. Economides was ready for me and took me back to his office. He was friendly and got right to work. wait a second, no hygenist? Wow! I’ve never seen that before! He did the x-​rays, cleaning, flossing, you name it, all on his own. He even described what he was doing while he did it! And asked me to let him know if he was being too rough on my gums or teeth. Now I haven’t been to that many dentists in my life time but that is good service! I was in and out in less than 45 minutes.
I’ll be recommending Dr. Economides to all my friends in the area.

Dr. Economides is great — he’s patient and explains everything he is doing as he is doing it. He answered all of my questions and told me how procedures would work, how painful they would be and how much money they would be under my insurance plan.
Plus, he’s totally metro accessible!

I’ve gone to Dr. Economides for almost 10 years!
The best part is that he does all the work himself, you don’t get your teeth cleaned by a hygentist.
He always gives you all the cost options, I guess he lives up to his name.
He has a great location near the Clarendon Metro
