Services
Welcome to the dental office of your Washington D.C. dentist, Dr. Vajdi. We specialize in general, cosmetic, and implant dentistry for adults. Our entire staff is committed to delivering high-quality patient care and exceptional dental health. They are always willing to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have.
To avoid the appearance of gray, dark lines at the gum line when you smile, or if you have a sensitivity to metals, Dr. Vajdi offers metal-free restorative solutions. All of our ceramic and porcelain materials are translucent, allowing light to penetrate and reflect from within the restoration. This results in a restoration that looks more natural and can blend easily with the surrounding teeth. For chips, cracks, stains, or misalignments that can negatively impact your smile: bonding can be an effective tool.
By cycling through a series of clear, removable aligners, Invisalign can help to fix misalignments, overlaps, and gaps to help you achieve the smile you always wanted. This revolutionary system is truly the closest thing to "invisible" braces. We have several patients who have complained of grinding their teeth or clenching their jaw uncontrollably at night, during the day, or at moments of great stress.
The overall cost of your dental treatment will vary depending on your unique needs and the treatment plan decided upon by you and Dr. Vajdi. We will make sure to discuss the potential cost of your treatment plan with you beforehand so that you make the best choice for you, and your smile. We will work with you and your provider(s) to create a treatment and payment plan that fits your budgets and maximizes and dental benefits you may have.

You will like Dr. Vajdi. As a new patient requiring emergency front bridge work, I was blessed to be in the hands of an expert. As a big plus, never has dentistry been so pain free for me. Impressive! - Bob in DC

Dr. Merhad Vajdi is the best dentist l have ever seen. I am 62 and that's five and a half decades of dental work not counting my baby teeth. He is always patient and gentle. His experience and expertise are evident from the moment he begins treatment until he walks you out of the office to the reception and billing area. The ladies who work the front office are always kind and helpful and friendly. Sam has the smoothest of hearts.

I will miss Michelle, but sometimes we need a change. Suzette seems to be a good addition and she was very supportive with setting up my future appointments. Tiko is extremely amiable and she has a wonderful way to put you at ease when the doctor is injecting the novocaine. She works so well with Dr. Vajdi and she is strong, positive and that is very reassuring. Gwen is the only person who you will allow for your dental hygiene after she cleans your teeth and treat your gums.

It's almost as if she's gliding through your mouth on a snowboard and doing your dental hygiene without any pain at all. Yes, Dr. Vajdi really is a superior person and a superlative dentist. On a scale of 1 to 10. Well, you guessed it, he rates off the scale.

I had a good experience. I was greeted warmly, I felt welcome, the appointment started on time which is important to me. The time was used well to accommodate unexpected work. Thank you.

As a patient for 10 years, I can attest that Dr. Vajdi's dental office is superior in many ways, starting with the doctor himself who is very experienced and skillful and has a patient and gentle manner. He uses the very latest dental techniques and equipment to ensure a safe and painless experience. The staff is extremely friendly and professional and the office is immaculate, employing sterile techniques above and beyond what is required by CDC guidelines. Even the pens provided have been sterilized!

Always professional, efficient, and friendly. Put me at ease when I had to come in for restorative surgery recently and the result was awesome! I have been coming to see Dr. Vajdi and his staff for many years now and will continue to do so in the future!

I am Dr Vajdi patient and an ex employee, I worked there for 4 years and also had a crown done there many years later as well as referring many of my friends to him who were in need of a good dentist. That should say it all. I know many dentists over the last 26 years of my career and he is one of the good ones. He cares about his patients and is a great dentist.

The crown he did for me is still going strong since 2011. If you go to a dentist to use his bathroom when you are not a patient there do yourself a favor and don't leave a nasty review because the bathroom was for the patients only and now you're pouting. If you want a kind dentist that cares about quality then you have found the right place and that says something coming from an ex employee! His staff are really nice too. By the way I work for a very nice dentist far away from DC where I live. do your teeth a favor and go see Dr Vajdi

I've been seeing Dr. Vajdi for over 15 years and only stopped because we moved from the DC area. He and his staff are superb - courteous, efficient, kind, gentle and thoughtful. My wife and daughter also went there with similar results, as did a number of my co-workers. He is an excellent dentist and his technicians and staff are equally wonderful.

It was HORRIBLE experience. I visited him because I had lot of pain on left side of my jaw. He barely spend any time to examine further what was the issue was. And decided the problem was my wisdom teeth after ten seconds looking my xrays. Turns out the problem was another teeth and it needed root canal. He does not care about his patients and he is all about making money. I would definitely NOT go to him unless you want to get your teeth pulled out for no reason.

We have going to Dr. Vajdi for almost 20 years. He was excellent with our youngest son, who still wants to visit Dr. Vajdi's office for his dental needs when he returns home. He is gentle, but very knowledgeable, bringing the latest in technology to our care, when appropriate. All of the staff at the office are very kind and pleasant, bringing skill to their work from making appointments to teeth cleaning.

I really enjoyed my appointment with Dr. Vajdi. I'm nervous about going to dentists, but he made me feel comfortable. His staff was very polite and went out of their way to make me feel relaxed. He was recommended by my dentist in Seattle that I respect a lot. I highly recommend him!

Best dentist I have had in 57 years of living in five different states. Moved away from DC for a few years and had to use someone else, and when I moved back to DC, it was a real pleasure to be under his care again. Good thing I did, because I had allowed a serious infection to develop, and he made sure I got same-day emergency care from a specialist he hand-picked, and then he followed up to make sure everything was done properly. A real professional with a first-class staff.

Best dentist in DC. Staff is always polite and nice. They work with you and your insurance. Most visits to doctors' offices in DC are a pain from calling, dealing with rude staff, to dealing with goofy doctors who don't care. Dr. Vajdi's office is the complete opposite. This office is the only thing I will miss about not living in DC anymore!

I went to Dr. Vajdi in December of 2012. He came highly recommended from co-workers. This was the first time in several years that I was using dental insurance so I called ahead to make sure they would accept my insurance fully and that I would not be charged anything for the visit. They took my information, looked up the insurance and said that they accept it and that there would be no charges.

When I went in for my appointment I checked again, in person, just to be sure. I asked if I would be charged at all for today's visit and even showed them the x-rays I brought with me so that I wouldn't need new ones. They assured me there would be no charges and that my insurance would cover everything. It is now almost October of 2013 and I have spent the past several months receiving nasty phone calls from Dr. Vajdi's staff and then from a debt collecting agency who screamed at me over the phone and told me that they will be destroying my credit.

I have never had such a horrible experience from any doctor and I have lived in developing countries. The office staff lied to me and Dr. Vajdi refused to speak with me to sort out the problem. I checked in every way I could possibly think of to make sure I wouldn't have to pay additional fees (knowing this was not in my budget) and still I was slapped with a $111 bill (this in addition to the approx. $200 my insurance paid). If you are wealthy and don't mind throwing away money go see this doctor. Otherwise, better to save your money and time elsewhere.

Fabulous dentist and a really professional staff. I had the misfortune of visiting 2 other dentists to try and tackle a dental emergency only to be charged hundreds of dollars for useless x-rays, without ever hearing what the actual problem was and how to go about fixing things. Within 10 minutes of walking into this office the doctor had told me what was wrong, what he was going to do and how much it would cost.

Within an hour it was fixed and I was on my way. If you are looking for a great dentist, I'd highly recommend making an appointment. If, however, you are looking for a public restroom -- as another reviewer was -- GO TO Starbucks!

Dr. Vajdi, was referred to me by a friend who had been going to him for years. He came highly recommended. I went for a regular cleaning and was extremely impressed by the friendly and knowledgable staff and by Dr. Vajdi's complete professionalism. His dental assistant Gwen, might as well have been a dentist herself; her thoroughness and attention to detail while cleaning and x-raying was simply superb.

I unfortunately had to come back for an on-lay procedure which required multiple visits to a periodontist, but staying true to his craft, Dr. Vajdi thoroughly explained the procedure and kept me informed of EVERYTHING I was concerned about. his receptionist was even sent in prior to the procedure to explain exactly how much of it was covered with my insurance and how much I would owe. Ive been 'surprised' with other dentists and was very grateful to Dr. Vajdi for his Professionalism. I will gladly submit this review with a highly satisfied stamp of approval. Oh and my procedure was a complete success. No sensitivity to heat or cold and NO PAIN!

I'm torn. I would give a higher rating to him because I do think he is a good dentist. On my first visit, it was an emergency, but he took me in almost right away. He is very friendly and he is a pretty good dentist. That being said, I'd only go there if you're a guy. He started to give me a hug after a procedure because I was crying (novocaine does NOTHING for me, as do most pain medicines), and I thought that was nice.

He was actually empathetic. Two procedures/visits later (all within a month), he called me at home to see how I was feeling. That's nice of him, I guess. Until he asked me out shopping to Neiman Marcus that weekend and said he'd buy me anything I wanted. Now, I love shopping at Neiman's, but I was NOT looking for any sort of creepy sugar daddy. So unfortunately, I had to end the phone call and find another dentist.
