DC Smiles

I went to DC Smiles because I had been suffering from TMJ for over a year. Dizziness, ringing in my ears, muscle spasms — day in and day out. Dr. Singer diagnosed me and recommended a package of services with a price tag of several thousand dollars. The package included a custom-​made night guard, which was really all I wanted, but I was told that I had to buy the entire package, including prolo injections, etc. Frustrated and in pain, I sought a second opinion across town at Bethesda TMJ. The doctor there gave me a completely different diagnosis, was shocked to hear DC Smiles’ diagnosis and treatment plan, and treated me for a fraction of the cost. I am now 100 percent better. I’m thankful that I didn’t go forward with the treatment proposed by DC Smiles, which according to my doctor could have actually aggravated my condition. I can’t speak to DC Smiles’ other services, but I would not recommend them to anyone suffering from TMJ. I hardly ever take the time to write reviews, but I feel that I owe this review to anyone else out there who is suffering from TMJ and not sure where to turn for relief.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Singer’s for about 6 years now, and highly recommend him. 6 years ago I went to see him after an accident that knocked out my teeth and broke my jaw. He handled everything exceptionally well and even made my teeth look better after the accident than they did before.

I would of gave them minus 5 stars but yeah. Do not let their website fool you with their jibby jabber. It is all lies! My husband went in for a consult and had x-​rays done. My husband was there because his bottom tooth was hurting after he had implants put in from another dentist. We wanted to know if it was infection or anything else. Went we arrived, the secretary was nice. But then the dental assistant asked for my husband’s SSN out loud (privacy much?) When we met with Dr. Singer, I personally felt very awkward, he was very concern about my husband future plans for his implants instead of being concern about his pain. He told my husband that nothing was wrong, and that he needed to wait over the weekend to see if the pain would go away.
We went to another oral surgeon for a second opinion and that oral surgeon immediately told my husband that it was an infection. He gave us antibiotic and its all good now.
We were highly disappointed and frustrated that we paid about $ 500 for a consultation and x-​rays to be lied to and also wasted our time going there. Never again!
Basically, we had a very bad time.
In my personal opinion, NEVER EVER EVER go there and waste your time and money!!!

Luckily I wasn’t screwed over like some of the other reviewers but I did go in for a consult. I felt uncomfortable while I was there and after the consult I was charged a $ 175. I have never been charged for such a consult in my life, and would not have gone if I knew I was to pay this much, especially since this was just a second opinion. Overall, I didn’t feel like I would trust them with my teeth.

Dr. Singer and the team at DC Smiles gave me my smile back! In a BIG way! I had a severe underbite and a long overdue correction that involved some serious work. He was very meticulous and really researched my case to provide the newest, most innovative techniques to correct my diagnosis. Dr. Singer and his team were so professional and comforting to me throughout the entire process and made every step endurable. I am usually hesitant to move forward with surgeries, but in my case it was the best decision WE made! In under 2 years, they corrected my bite and perfected my teeth to give me a smile that I am happy to show off now! I highly recommend DC Smiles & Dr. Singer! (oh, and they happen to help make some of the most beautiful smiles even brighter… the First Ladies of Football!!) Cheers to them!

I wish I could give him fewer than one star, but Unilocal won’t let me.
I was a patient of his several years ago. He convinced me to get braces (which I believe were necessary), and then veneers (which were a very bad choice). During the 20 months that I was in braces, he did not clean my teeth even once. He was more concerned with aesthetics than tooth health.
To make matters worse, he created horsey looking veneers which were too big for my mouth. I saw several other dentists shortly thereafter, and each one said that with my habitual teeth grinding, veneers were a very bad choice. Within a year of having the veneers, and despite wearing a nightguard, one of my veneers chipped. His helpful solution: give him $ 750 to replace it. Now, veneers are typically under warranty for at least a year. Not so with Dr. S.
All in all, a horrible dental experience. 4 years and almost $ 8,000 later, I have to get these things replaced.
RUN AWAY!!!
