PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Ortega fix my two front teeth completely. I had very little confidence smiling but now I can smile all day!! She used something called Icon dental treatment which helped with my hyper calcification (white spot removal) she is also very understanding about my needs which is hard these days when everybody is just focused on profit! Thank you doctor!!

She is by far the most professional, courteous, caring and helpful human being ever. I have never experienced pain like this before and I was out of town when it happened. She called me right back on a weekend and did her best to make me comfortable by calling in a prescription of antibiotics.. My vacation ended very early and I booked a flight back to Virginia. The office was closed when Dr Ortega scheduled me in for my dental emergency. My husband and I have been a patient at Dental Cosmetix for years and we live in a different county. You will not be disappointed – five stars is not enough for this amazing dentist!!

Dr Ortega and her staff are wonderful! I was referred to Dr. Ortega by my brother and my first visit to her office was in 2007 when I had a root canal treatment and crown . I had some bad experiences in the past with my previous dentists and I was terrified of any dental work. It’s been 11 years now since I am a patient of Dr. Ortega and every visit at her office is a pleasant experience without being worried of pain and needles. Her staff is very welcoming and friendly and the office is very clean. It is easy to schedule and change an appointment and I like the fact that they confirm your appointments two days in advance. Even though recently I moved to Frederick, MD for a new job, I still commute to Fairfax, VA for any dental work because Dr. Ortega is friendly, kind, trustworthy and by far the best dentist I have known! I would highly recommend Dr. Ortega!!!

Some dentists are described by their patients as okay, or as good, or even as very good. Dr. Thu-Nga Ortega of Dental Cosmetix, however, can be described as excellent, as exceptional, and as a dentist who is committed to her patients. Recently, I had two dental emergencies on two separate occasions. On both occasions, Dr. Ortega saw me the same day. Dr. Ortega proved to me that she makes the exception and makes the difference when it is needed in an emergency. Dr. ortega has demonstrated dental excellence, has provided affordable quality care, and has personalized her treatment of her patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Ortega. Come see for yourself, and come see Dr. Ortega. Georgianne McDonald, Patient since 2010.

Dr. Ortega is the best dentist in all of Northern Virginia. I’ve been seeing her for over 5 years and she never disappoints. I have referred family and friends to her and all will agree that does the best work. Her staff is all very friendly and accommodating. Would highly recommend for your next cleaning

Dr. Ortega is a great dentist who is dedicated to her profession. My family has been going to Dental Cosmetix for over 15 years and we have always had a great experience. Dr. Ortega is always accessible whenever we need immediate attention and is very thorough in her routine cleaning and examination. More importantly, Dr. Ortega always keeps up to date on current developments in the field of dentistry. This gives me a level of comfort that I am receiving the best possible dental care. I highly recommend Dr. Ortega and Dental Cosmetix!

Dr. Thu-Nga Ortega is one of the best dentist in the area. We have been going to her for more than 10 years and we are very happy with her services. She is an expert at her work. This practice is unique because Dr. Ortega does all services herself even teeth cleaning. She takes care of us like a family and we truly appreciate that! She is very knowledgeable and she gives us great advices on how to keep our teeth healthy. My family and I are very satisfied with all the services. I highly recommend her!!

I would highly recommend this doctor! Went here for cleaning and had all four wisdom teeth removed and didn’t worry for a moment.The team here cares about every step of the process and is very thorough in preparing you for the procedure. My recovery was brief, there were no pain and swelling after. Definitely recommend this dentist office if you are looking to switch or if you just moved to the area!

Honestly I never liked going to dentist but when cleaning or fillings were needed. My first time coming to Dr.Ortega was about two weeks ago, and was recommended by my mother in law and needless to say the service was amazing. I got my cleaning done and even had a root canal amazing work and the staff is very friendly. I would recommend Dr.Ortega to anyone 10/10 amazing.

I just had my first experience with sedation dentistry with Dr. Ortega and it was phenomenal. I was relaxed and comfortable throughout the entire procedure. Dr. Ortega and her excellent staff took very good care of me.

I am probably the wrong person to rate dental practice because I’m inherently biased! Yes, I love dental cleaning and scrapings! And, Dr Ortega is one the best! She and her caring staff are all so professional and friendly. Dr. Ortega listens to my concerns and never rushes me. I feel like I’m in good hands when I see her. If you have had the unfortunate experience of being with a “bad” dental practice then Dental Cosmetix is the right place for you!!!!

I thank Dr. Ortega for her excellent services.I live in North Carolina and have been visiting the local Dentist chain(s) for more than 9 years. So far, based on my dentist(s)’ recommendations, I have done a few tooth fillings, one root canal treatment along with my regular bi-annual cleanings. Other than that, during my visits, I am told that everything is great with my teeth. Recently, while visiting my daughter in Virginia, I happened to Meet Dr. Ortega. She was the first dentist who, with just a glance at my teeth, pointed out that I have been grinding my teeth a lot and had flattened off a few of my teeth. Her observation turned out to be spot on. I did have constant sensitivity issues with my teeth, but none of the dentists pointed out to be the reason. Instead, they all prescribed me sensitivity toothpaste. During my second visit, she did a complete examination and again rightly pointed out that a few of my teeth had developed sensitivity due to grinding habits and receding gum!!! Dr. Ortega not only fixed the sensitivity issues but also prepared a night guard to alleviate my teeth grinding. Above all, during her thorough examination, she identified many issues like damaged fillings, cracks, and many others, which I never even knew I had!!! She took exceptional care of my dental issues and fixed all my dental issues. I am deeply thankful for Dr. Ortega for her exceptional service and always putting the Patients first and doing what is good for the patients

I started seeing Dr. Ortega about 10 years ago. After many years of many dental issues and botched dentistry I had developed a phobia. I ended up calling Dr. Ortega for an emergency situation. She met me after hours and almost immediately made me feel comfortable. After just a couple of visits, my phobia started to diminish with her calming, gentle approach. She talked to me about every procedure and I realized how knowledgeable she was. Dr. Ortega was able to repair all the damage done over the years and get my dental health straightened out and healthy once again. She was determined in her mission to help me and although it took many appointments and many difficult procedures, she was able to accomplish that mission and perfect my oral health. It was not an easy feat but she did it! All because she truly cares about her patients and her dedication. Her compassion and dedication is unsurpassed, not to mention her wealth of knowledge and up to date dentistry. She is an artist in her work. I would never dream of going to anyone else.

I’ve been going to the Dentist for the pass 30 something years of my life, and I never knew how important about taking care of my teeth, until the day I went to Dr Ortega. I can say I’m very happy to have finally going to the right Dentist. Dr Ortega not only cares about my teeth, but she took her time to educated me about my teeth and how importatnt to maintain it. My four years daughter and my 11 years old son, loves going to Dr Ortega. She by far one of the best dentist that I ever had. I highly recommend her, because she the BEST!!!!

I am beyond pleased with Dr. Ortega’s office staff, assistant, and Dr. Ortega herself. When I went in for my consultation, Dr. Ortega was so patient and spent an hour just getting to know me and what I wanted done with my teeth (I was interested in bonding). She was not the only dentist I had made a consultation with and was disappointed when the other dentists spent only 10 minutes and didn’t really listen to my needs or concerns. Moral of the story, Dr. Ortega is so thorough and pays strict attention to detail, all the while making sure I am comfortable and as pain free as possible. I couldn’t be any happier with my bonded teeth. I made a follow-up appointment with her to do a routine check-up. She was just was thorough with the check-up as she was with the bonding. As long as she is in business I will never go to another dentist!

Dr.Ortega is one of the most exceptional dentists we have in Northern Virginia. She really cares for her patients and puts her patients needs above all. Her office environment is very welcoming and the staff are very kind and supportive . I referred Dr.Ortega to my family and friends and they have all been very satisfied with her services and treatments . If you are looking for a dentist in Northern Virginia / Fairfax area, Dr.Ortega is your person!

I highly recommend Dr. Ortega’s office. I did cosmetic bonding for my front teeth. The result is fabulously beautiful and very natural. I am so happy with the result. Dr. Thu-Nga is the to-go-to expert if you are looking for a beautiful smile and healthy teeth. The office is very clean and the staff is very friendly as well.

Dr. Ortega is THE BEST of The Best out there. Her work shows her dedication, passion and love for her profession. She is truly an artist, just look at my before and afters :-D. She works to get things perfect and right. Dr. Ortega and her staff will make you feel welcomed the moment you walk into the office. I’ve always received OUTSTANDING Dental care and service. If I could put 7 stars I would :-). Let the record show, I meant to give 7 Stars. Ron A. Patient since 2003

I have been a patient of Dr.Ortega for about five years now. She is by far the most precise dentist I have ever been to. I have a hard time trusting dentists with my teeth and have been to a handful until I found Dr.Ortega. She is a perfectionist and is hands down the only dentist I would ever go to for anything. Very Highly recommended!

Highly recommend! This was my first visit with Dr. Ortega and I had a great experience! I had an unbearable pain on my tooth and it was caused by an infection. I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Ortega and I had a root canal treatment followed by a crown. It was easy to schedule an appointment and their stuff are friendly and professional. Their office is clean and they take all the safety measures due to COVID-19. Dr. Ortega is an amazing doctor, very professional, and really care for her patients. She even follow up with a call to check if my tooth still hurt. My visits were pain-free and easier than I thought. I highly recommend Dr. Ortega to anyone looking for a dentist!

Dr Ortega is the best dentist bar none. I have been a patient of hers for more than 20 years. I had many dentists in the 40 years before her and only 1, who was based in Massachusetts, came close to her level of ability. She is the only dentist who has been able to get my mouth sufficiently numb so I wouldn’t be anxious during any procedure. Dr Ortega is not only highly skilled but also honest and caring, willing to take the time to explain what needs to be done and what will take place. I also had her straighten my teeth with Invisalign braces and the results are fantastic! I highly recommend Dr Ortega to anyone looking for a new dentist or if you’re not happy with your current dentist.

I have been going to Dr. Ortega for over two years now and I couldn’t be happier. It all started when my daughter had a sport accident and chipped her front tooth and we scheduled an appointment to see her and she did such an amazing job with her that I decided to get consultation for myself to get Invisalign treatment. She was very thorough with her explanation of treatment and once I started the treatment, she monitored the whole process so close and detailed and I am SUPER HAPPY with the end result. I get so many complements on my teeth now and I keep looking in the mirror and I’m amazed how perfect my teeth look now. Thank you Dr. Ortega. I will never go to another dentist.

This dentist is the bomb! Wow! I am a wimp when it comes to having dental work done but she is sooo gentle! I used to have to have nitrixoxide before having novicaine. No more!! I dont feel the needle! She saved me hundreds of dollars fixing my post. Dr. Ortega stays current on the latest techniques. She not only replaced my old fillings but made them look good!

Dr. Ortega is a great dentist who is dedicated to her profession. My family has been going to Dental Cosmetix for over 15 years and we have always had a great experience. Dr. Ortega is always accessible whenever we need immediate attention and is very thorough in her routine cleaning and examination. More importantly, Dr. Ortega always keeps up to date on current developments in the field of dentistry. This gives me a level of comfort that I am receiving the best possible dental care. I highly recommend Dr. Ortega and Dental Cosmetix!

I have been a patient of Dr.Ortega since I was 6 years old, I am now almost 21 years old. She has always been consistent and caring! From bi-annual cleanings, Invisaligns, to removing my wisdom teeth; she always gets the job done right! Would always recommend Dr.Ortega to anyone looking for a dentist in the Fairfax area.

I dread going to the dentist, don’t you?! I used to have to have nitrous oxide prior to letting anyone work on me. Then I found Dr. Ortega. She is thorough, extremely gentle, and cleans my teeth herself. When I’ve had to have dental work done requiring injections, I couldn’t feel the needle! She has taken the fear and dread out of dental care for me. Definitely, go!

My entire family has been going to Dental Cosmetix for the past 15 years! There’s really no chance of us switching dental practitioners, as Dr. Thu-Nga Ortega sets the gold standard for oral healthcare. In terms of convenience, quality of care, and overall atmosphere, Dental Cosmetix is consistently out performing competing practices in the Northern Virginia area. After having my four wisdom teeth removed, I experienced 0 swelling. After the procedure, I followed the detailed after-care instructions they provided me and had a hassle-free healing process. Would recommend!

I have been going to Dr. Ortega for over 2 years now. Unlike other dentists, she very takes her time during your visit and only recommends what is really needed for my teeth. I intially came for the Invisalign but switching from my previous dentist to her office. My teeth look so much better after my Invisalign and I get so many compliments. Will continue to going to her office for a very long time.

Dr. Ortega did my filling, cleaning, and extracted my upper two wisdom teeth. Needless to say it was a seamless and calming experience. I was slightly nervous in the beginning as I have never been through any of the procedures or even had anesthetic before. Dr. Ortega made sure to let me know that I was in good hands and helped me stay calm. I did not feel a thing when I received the anesthetic!!!! It was actually quite fun. Even if there was a slight pinch Dr. Ortega walked me through the entire procedure to let me know what exact sensation I was going to feel. As well as with the extraction of the wisdom teeth she made sure I knew that there may be slight pressure and I may feel slight pulling. I loved this as I knew exactly what to expect, being that I was a first timer. The extractions were done so smoothly that both were out within 5 MINUTES !!!!! I did not feel any pain and in fact I was so consumed by Dr. Ortega’s conversation and the views outside the windows of the office that I did not even know the teeth had been pulled out !!!! I can go on and on about the pleasant experience that I had, but what I felt in the end was that I was taken care of and that Dr. Ortega genuinely cares about the health of my teeth. It can be seen with the extra steps that she takes to make sure I was taken care of in every aspect whether it be with the technique of the procedures themselves or the atmosphere of the office with the scenic views and calming scents. She’s amazing!

I honestly don’t know why I haven’t left a review sooner I’ve been going to dr Ortega for years i used to hate going to the dentists but since I’ve been a client of hers I’ve had no problem going in she always walks me through everything she’s doing talks and makes me feel comfortable and has recently closed the gap in my teeth and made my smile perfectttt ! I HIGHLY recommend her !

Our family has been having Dr. Ortega at Dental Cosmetix provide outstanding dental care for over 15 years. She is extremely generous with her time in making sure we get the best care and has even come in on the weekend to treat emergencies. We are always confident that we receive the highest quality care each and every visit. Dr. Ortega’s cheerful and uplifting attitude provides a positive atmosphere and makes our family feel comfortable as patients.

My experience with Dr. Ortega has been very good. She educates you on what is required during any regular checkup or major work that needs to be done that day. She goes above and beyond to help her clients understand the diagnosis. For example, I needed a filling due to a deep pocket on one of my tooth where food particles were getting stuck. She immediately diagnosed it and brought it under my attention. The whole process was pain free. I thanked her for a great job. She also provided excellent service to my wife when she needed her wisdom tooth removed. Thank you Dr. Ortega treating us like your family.

I’ve been going to Dr. Ortega for the last four years for procedures varying from routine cleanings to cosmetic work. She is by far the best dentist I have ever had, and I will continue to go to her as long as I am in the area. I had cosmetic work done a few years ago to fix a far from perfect smile. Dr. Ortega did amazing work and I receive compliments on my new smile quite often; she did amazing work. It is easy to tell that Dr. Ortega really cares about your dental health; not just an “in-and-out” type office that is all too common. Highly recommended!!!
