About our office
About Dr. Naik :
Having practiced dentistry in the Northern VA/DC area since 1998, after graduating from Northwestern University Dental School (Chicago, IL), I have witnessed firsthand the changes in the local dynamics & the evolution of dentistry for the past decade. Local study clubs & ample professional journals are my preferred means of staying abreast of new trends & techniques in dentistry. When not in the office or battling the endemic local traffic, I eagerly pursue sports & fitness, closely follow current events & the world around us, and take in the pulse of the city as much as possible. My wife (Bela) & I live in Tyson's Corner & enjoy watching our son (Roan) grow. We learn as much from him, if not more, than he learns from us.For New Patients:
Our small staff size makes for very personal care, but it limits us from spending much time on the phone. We request that you be reasonably familiar with your dental insurance and eligibility before your first visit with us. We will gladly file claims & pre-treatment estimates on your behalf after your initial visit with us. We also kindly ask that your estimated portion be paid at the time of every visit.
For simplicity's sake, we will only submit to the primary dental insurance company for those patients that happen to have benefits with more than one insurance plan. We are in-network for a number of popular dental insurances and PPOs. We also strive to keep our fees very reasonable for the area and for the level of service which is rendered, so patients should feel comfortable regardless of their insurance benefits or plans or lack thereof. Sorry, we do not participate with any HMO or DMO plans.
Our office offers CareCredit interest-free patient financing as a courtesy & to make it easier to pursue comprehensive dental treatment for our patients.
IMPORTANT:
As a sincere reminder, dental insurance benefits are negotiated per employer & insurance companies as a benefit for employees. Dental insurance is a for-profit activity and not designed specifically in the best interest of patients' dental health. No plan will cover all possible treatment or prove to be adequate or satisfactory in all cases. We will certainly help patients maximize their benefits & navigate the (sometimes) labyrinthine process as best as possible, but the ultimate responsibility for payment remains with patients. We are not responsible for what your insurance does or doesn't ultimately cover or any issues arising from eligibility misunderstandings & errors.
For your convenience, we accept Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. We also work with CareCredit for financing larger treatment plans (http://www.carecredit.com), which offers an interest-free terms for payment options.
Our office is very convenient to I395, Leesburg Pike, Columbia Pike, Baileys Crossroads, Fairlington/Shirlington, downtown Falls Church, Ballston, and to parts of Annadale, Alexandria, and Arlington. There is reserved parking for our patients in the building, and we welcome patients from anywhere. We will also do our best to accommodate scheduling preferences for all of our patients of record.
Some of the most conscientious and capable area specialists are our partners in delivering top-notch dental care - often for treatment such as root canals, extractions, implants, periodontal care, pediatric care, and orthodontics. Our goal is to deliver ideal clinical outcomes without losing sight of practicality and per individual preferences, and our patients appreciate the coordinated & conscientious involvement of our specialist colleagues as appropriate.
