Mission & Philosophy

Who we are: 

Our mission: We strive to give you thorough, research-based, quality dental treatment while delivering personalized care in Arlington, VA. We are uncompromising in the time we take to complete education and treatment, the materials, lab and technology used, and the team members chosen to aid in our mission. 

Our philosophy: Our belief is that great dentistry is done through a relationship-based approach, anchored in honesty, trust and integrity. We focus on the patient experience, by listening, educating and helping patients make the best treatment decisions for their oral health.

Our commitment to patient education: Elite Dental Center is unlikely to be the fastest dental experience you have had. We take our time accumulating necessary diagnostics like X-rays, periodontal measurements, intraoral photos, diagnostic records and clinical examination of the oral environment. From there, time is taken to discuss findings, potential implications of monitoring versus intervening, and treatment options available. A decision to pursue dental treatment is YOUR decision, and the providers at Elite Dental Center want you to be fully confident and informed in your choice.

Our commitment to comprehensive care: A problem found with your teeth or surrounding tissues could easily be dismissed as an isolated event, when in fact it was caused by a more generalized issue. The Elite Dental providers routinely take a step back to try to better understand factors that may contribute to these localized issues that could also be creating risk for additional problems with other teeth in the future. Prevention is always the least expensive and least time-consuming route, and it is our priority to comprehensively evaluate your dentition so that your teeth and oral health can be stable for the long-haul.

Lasting results are no accident. A great, stable smile represents proper planning and excellent skill. It happens by providers taking the necessary time, investing in the best materials/labs, and prioritizing continuing education and research-based care. We are proud of the service we offer and the way it is completed, we are excited for you to visit us and experience the Elite Dental care yourself!
