Gentle Dental Care
Joseph Grieco, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

Dr. Grieco has been my dentist for over 15 years. He is an honest fellow, a good Christian man. He never tries to sell you something you don’t need. His office will also help you fight for your insurance coverage. Some dentists claim they will take new patientS but never keep their words, Dr. Grieco honors his word. I recommend him to be your dentist.

I have been a patient of Dr. Grieco’s for many years after my former dentist retired. I am a BIG chicken when it comes to dentistry! Dr. Grieco’s sense of humor and the warmth of this staff reduce my anxiety. I am impressed with the state-of-the-art equipment in his office. I highly recommend Dr. Grieco to anyone looking for a dentist!

I came here after having bad experiences with dentists who used to push me to get treatments that I didn’t need. I transferred all my records to Gentle Dental Care and I was impressed about their customer service. The first time I came to their office, everyone knew my name. It was strange because all of them were saying hi to me like if they knew me. Then after many visits I realized they treat everyone as part of their family. All the ladies at the front desk are friendly and welcoming. Morena has been my dental hygienist for years and we have become friends. She is always very professional and answers all my questions. I get to see Dr. Greico in every visit, which I really appreciate. He is also funny and friendly. What I love about this place is their honesty. They have never tried to sell me products or procedures that I do not need.

Been a patient here for about 8 years. The entire team is a pleasure to work with. Dr. G and my hygienist Angela are engaging, gentle, professional, and really good at what they do. I was there for my 6 month check up yesterday, and came away with super clean teeth and NO post cleaning sensitivity. Highly recommend!!

I had a cracked tooth that needed some attention. I called first thing in the morning on a Monday to explain my situation and Susan worked to get me fit into the schedule same day. Dr Gieco worked me up for a new crown, which I should have in the next couple weeks. He also set me up for the next couple weeks with a very good temporary crown. I’m always pleased with the care but the great team goes out of their way to practice what their name says…Gentle Dental care. They couldn’t be nicer, nor more accommodating.

Our family is totally happy with Dr. Grieco and his entire staff. They treat you like family, the office environment is peaceful and Dr. G has a wicked sense of humor. Always amazing to hear him speaking Spanish. I had no doubt that they would follow COVID-19 guidelines and felt very safe in the office. We highly recommend.

It’s the first time I ever laughed with a dentist. Dr. Grieco was great. I am very anxious about dentists and Dr. Grieco’s calming manner and confident performance really helped me feel I was in the right hands. The assistive staff knows what you need before you ask and the front desk is pleased to help you with scheduling and fitting you in for appointments. This is the dentist for those of us who don’t like going to the dentist!

I have known Dr. Grieco & some staff for 35+ years! I started seeing Dr. Grieco myself before I married & as children came along continued to see Dr. Grieco even traveling across the beltway from Rockville, MD to Fairfax, VA. My oldest son is now seeing Dr. Grieco for his dental care. Once Dr. Grieco named his practice, Gentle Dentle, I couldn’t agree more. The staff from administrative to hygienist has been not only very friendly, but professional. They r personal & caring. No matter the reason for our visits, the care is exemplary & I always feel comfortable that our needs will be addressed. It’s very unique to have a combination of professionalism & friendly, personal care. Dr. Grieco has quite a sense of humor & a calming presence. No question or concern is passed off as unimportant. Dr. Grieco has used state of the art equipment & technology & has progressed over the 30+ yrs my family have been using his practice for our dental needs.

Dr. Grieco has been my dentist since I moved to this area in 1999. He and his staff provide excellent, caring service. I personally have been blessed with fairly strong teeth, so Dr. Grieco schedules my cleanings at the same time as my semi-annual examination, saving me a lot of time. On my most recent visit, Dr. Grieco recommended that I finally fix a crack in one of my front teeth that had been getting a little more open over time. I was aware of the crack, could actually feel it if I rubbed the tooth. Dr. Grieco had a little time before his next appointment so he did a veneer right away, painlessly, quickly and with an excellent result. In twenty years now I have had two crowns and this recent veneer and never had any issues with the procedure itself or the results. I have had the same hygienist, Moreno, for about half that time and she does great work too. I would strongly recommend Dr. Grieco to anyone looking for a dentist in our area, and I have to friends and coworkers. Dr. Grieco and his staff are not just a great team for dentistry, they are fine people whom I personally respect and trust.

Doctor Grieco is a very caring individual which is reflected in all his interactions with his patients and staff. He has a laid back self- deprecating sense of humor which puts you at ease while maintaining his professional persona. This sounds like a lot of big, dry words to describe him and his practice but in summary he practices gentle dental care in such a way that puts me at ease despite the fact that dentists in general are low on my list of favorite people. His staff also are caring professionals and knowledgeable in their respective roles. I’m a retired nursing professional and I get nothing but good vibes and smiles from Gentle Care of Virginia!

Dr. Grieco and his staff are so caring, professional and very pleasant to be around. On Saturday, I had a painful toothache and finally called the office to make an appointment ahead of time thinking they’d call me on Monday. Little did I know that Dr. Grieco’s cell phone number is on the voicemail saying to call him if it’s an emergency. Well, it was. So, I called him and he was traveling at the time. He pulled off on the side of the road to call in a prescription for me, and on today (Monday), they fit me into their schedule. This far surpasses excellent customer service! I will be forever grateful for his kindness.

From the moment I walked in, I felt relaxed from the busyness of my day because of the soft, instrumental Christian music playing in the background. The dental assistant was amazing. And Dr Grieco is always pleasant and explains things in terms I can understand, whenever I need dental work done. The receptionists are also excellent! I thank God that a Christian friend referred me to Gentle Dental Care!
