PATIENT REVIEWS

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Mitri. He is gentle, kind, caring, non-judgmental and very talented. I have had a great deal of dental work performed by him and he even helped me find dental plans that helped me save thousands of dollars. Having had horrific experiences with cruel dentists when I was a kid, I have always been terrified of going to the Dentist.  Habib Mitri is the first dentist that I have ever had that completely calmed my fears.  If you are a giant chicken like me and need dental work go see Dr. Mitri!

Dr. Mitri’s office represents everything I want in a dentist: professionalism, efficiency, and competence. I have never waited more than 10 minutes for my cleaning to begin after arriving at the office. Dr. Mitri is certified to use a special cleaning tool that cleans much quicker than scraping tools at other dentist offices. I also never feel like Dr. Mitri or his associates are trying to sell me on any unnecessary treatment or procedures. After several years of getting regular check-ups at Dr. Mitri’s, I would definitely recommend them as a reliable, professional, and competent dental practice.

Excellent service. I felt like I wasn’t even at the dentist. NO waiting time which is amazing. The cleaning of my teeth took minutes and was quicker than any other cleaning I’ve had. Dr. Mitri is professional, knowledgeable and easy to understand. I would highly recommend him looking for a dentist.

Dr. Mitri is absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever seen in my life. Very straightforward, presents all your options, and is remarkably efficient. The office isn’t as sleek looking as some of the newer practices, but the patient care more than makes up for it. As a bonus, you can book appointments on ZocDoc! Look no further, this is where you want to go.

Dr. Mitri is absolutely the most compassionate dentist I have ever seen. He walked me through everything he did, made sure I was comfortable and was generally very trustworthy and professional. His knowledge of dentistry and desire to ensure I trusted his expertise made me very happy that I chose him as my dentist. I highly recommend him and that says a lot coming from someone like me who has never been a fan of dentists. You will not regret seeing Habib.

My experience with Dr. Mitri and the Kalorama staff has been nothing but positive. I’ve been going for a few years after bouncing around a few dentists in the city – Dr. Mitri’s practice is clean, prompt, and kind. I’ve never had a weird billing issue, and I’ve always felt like Dr. Mitri takes his time to listen to my concerns without judgement or haste. The staff is friendly and caring. Highly recommend to anyone seeking a new dentist in the area.

I tried out Dr. Mitri because of his excellent reviews here on ZocDoc ( a lot of which seemed to be from people like me who are afraid of the dentist after having bad experiences with other dentists in the past ). I’m so glad I found him on here, because my appointment was fast, easy and quite nearly painless (considering it’d been a few years since my last cleaning, I’m thrilled). He was so kind when I told him about my anxiety with dentists, and he made sure to explain everything he was going to do and what I could expect. I can’t even express how relieved I am to have finally found a dentist I can trust. I highly recommend him. I’ve also never been to a practice where the dentist does the cleaning — all in all, a great experience.

Dr. Mitri is hands down the best dentist I have ever had. He even takes personal attention and does cleanings while most other dentists farm it out to a hygienist. He has a very compassionate but straightforward manner and has never tried to push anything I didn’t need or ask for, which many dentists do.

Dr. Mitri was awesome. My permanent retainer broke and I didn’t have a dentist in the area and he was able to see me on very short notice. I explained my situation and he was able to glue it back on in only a few minutes. He was great about explaining each step of the process and I was comfortable the whole time. Would definitely go back!

I really hate the dentist. I haven’t been in years, and I was terrified when I realized I had an abcessed tooth. I called Dr. Mitri’s office because it’s close Io my house, and he saw me within 24 hours. The office is peaceful and quiet, his assistant is great, and he was calm,relaxed, and reassuring. He took X-rays and examined me, hen referred me to an oral surgeon — and sent my info to hem Immediately. He was also VERY reassuring about the procedure ahead of me being simple and painless (and he was correct). Then, he didn’t charge me for he consultation. My husband and I are pleased to have inadvertently found a great dentist.

Habib Mitri is the best dentist I have ever had. I have a long history, since childhood, of traumatic experiences with dentists and Dr, Mitri is absolutely the perfect antidote to fear of dentists., He is kind, gentle, does not judge and is a master at his craft! If you avoid going to the dentist for regular check-ups because of fear, Dr. Mitri is the absolute best person you could find for a pleasant dentist visit

Dr. Mitri is the best dentist I’ve found so far. I really liked that he took the time to explain everything he was doing and the reasons for them, and answered all my questions. I first went for a cleaning and to see how my 3 cavities had progressed (which another dentist told me I had to get treated 10 months before). He told me I had no cavities (and showed me the x-ray as proof), explained to me why I had to keep on redoing my fillings (because i grind my teeth), which no other dentist had ever explained to me before. I found the cleaning a bit expensive, but it’s worth it for the honesty (definitely cheaper than getting 3 fillings done for cavities that don’t exist!) I went back to get my worn–out fillings redone. He told me honestly that the third one could wait another year, and I could see that the others just popped out, as he predicted. His manner is very warm and gentle, he seems to care about his patients. He gave me 20% off because I had no dental insurance (and maybe because he saw that I was unemployed). I also really like the office – you get a nice view of connecticut avenue in the dentist’s chair, which I found quite relaxing. Overall, I really appreciated his honesty, his willingness to educate and inform, and of course it was really nice of him to give me 20% off.

I am dentist-phobic and Dr. Mitri is gentle and really really nice and an all around pleasant guy to know.  Seriously- he’s a good dentist.  (And when I bumped into him totally out of context, he recognized me way before I could place him… that’s bedside manner!)

Dr Mitri is kind, professional and incredibly efficient. He uses an ultrasonic tool to clean your teeth which makes hygiene appointments super quick. Exam, deep cleaning, polishing, and X-rays in 15 minute. I also appreciate their COVID precautions. Very happy repeat patient here 🙂

I have been seeing Dr. Mitri for many years and have been incredibly happy with the basic cleanings and checkups, but have been completely thrilled with the bite guard and porcelain crown he did for me about 6 years ago. Both are still in perfect condition. After a few years out of the area I moved back and broke a tooth. Dr. Mitri got me in next day and his staff applied a credit from more than five years ago that I had forgotten about.

Dr. Mitri and his staff were polite and professional. There was no wait time. I was about 10 minutes early, so I was done 5 minutes after my actual appointment was scheduled for a routine cleaning. This was my second time going to Dr. Mitiri for a cleaning, and I’ve had the same experience both times. I’m very satisfied with my experience here!

My visit with Dr. Mitri has been the best visit I’ve had with a dentist. His professionalism and great interpersonal skills are phenomenal. Oriented me on the process that was about to take place, talked to me about my options and also engaged me in problem solving. I felt heard and very satisfied with the outcome of our interaction.

The best dentist I’ve had in a long time! I went to see Dr. Mitri after a filling of mine needed replacing. Unfortunately though I did end up having to have a root canal, Kalorama dental gave me a fantastic reference. I am going to get my crown in next week and I know I will be in good hands!

Dr. Mitri has been my family’s Dentist for over 15 years. He is professional, caring and very informative. In addition to routine cleanings, he has replaced a few crowns for me in the past few years and has always made sure I received the best care and follow-up. He has also done more complex dental work for other family members. I would highly recommend him to friends and anyone looking for a Dentist in the Washington DC area!

this is the best dentist i have ever had.  during cleanings, he’s quick and efficient.  but more importantly, i had been putting off getting my wisdom teeth out for years, and he had 2 of them out in about 15 minutes with very little blood and no pain at all during or after.  he is a god in my view for doing this.  i have moved away, but i might have to sneak back to get the other 2 out.

My visit with Dr. Mitri was short and painless! When I arrived I checked in and filled out the necessary forms then sat in the waiting room for a few minutes before being called back. I had x-rays done by the assistant and then Dr. Mitri came in for my cleaning (he is also the hygienist) and a quick exam. My teeth felt great and thoroughly cleaned afterwards. Very happy to have found a dentist near my apartment. 

Visited today as a new patient, and really liked this EFFICIENT old school dental office. Dr. Mitri provides all the care himself (thorough exam, ultrasonic water-pick cleaning and traditional polishing) and checks the digital panoramic x-rays before you leave. He explains things in a direct, clear way. No hygienist involved. There is a very friendly office assistant who greets and takes the the X-rays. Simple two page new patient form. In and out in 30 mins. Booked my 6 month follow up on the spot. Happy to have this practice in my neighborhood, and appreciate the later office hours some days. Super convenient all the way around.

I was a new patient with Dr. Mitri, and cannot recommend him highly enough! The check-in process was very easy, I was seen in a very timely manner, and had a nice view out the window for my brief wait. During the appointment he was thorough and explained the logic and process every step of the way. The appointment only ran about 30 minutes or so with a full cleaning and fluoride, plus x-rays. He also uses a different technique for cleaning – no painful picking and scraping! He patiently answered all of my questions and made sure I was confident and informed when making decisions about my dental health. I can’t believe I’m saying it, but I’m genuinely looking forward to a 6 month check-up!

Dr. Mitri is the best! We’ve enjoyed this painless relationship for 25+ years. He is superb as an experienced dentist because he was great as his younger version. A bridge he constructed with several units has lasted for many years. His artistry has repaired a front tooth without visible repair! He has helped me to maintain what I am told is a beautiful smile. His advice for me is changing appropriately as I age and for this I am grateful. He is my primary dentist and I accept service from specialists only with his affirmation. A shout-out to his wonderful all-around assistant for all of these years!

My entire family (dad, mom, husband) see Dr. Mitri and he has been our primary dentist for more than five years now. Personally, I’ve been very pleased with his service over the years. Like many of the reviewers noted, Dr. Mitri also recommend that I get a night guard and rightly so. I’ve definitely noticed less pain in my jaw since purchasing it from his practice. Two years ago during one of the x-rays he pointed out that my wisdom teeth were coming in and would eventually cause a lot of pain and discomfort since they were growing horizontally (don’t remember the exact medical term for this). He recommended a great oral and facial surgery center and I am grateful for that because all four of my wisdom teeth have been extracted, I didn’t swell up like a chipmunk, and I haven’t had any issues in that part of my mouth ever since. Overall, I like Dr. Mitri’s promptness, cleanliness, and most importantly, friendliness. He truly does care for his patients and it shows with every regular check-up or a more serious issue.

I had a horrible experience with a dental implant and was referred to Dr. Mitri of Kalorama Dental Arts for a second opinion.  I wish I had seen him sooner!  Where my oral surgeon pretty much told me to just deal with the results, Dr. Mitri was caring and patient and took the time to listen and explore the possible causes of my pain. I wish I knew him a year and a half ago, because I definitely would have chosen him over the oral surgeon I wound up with..

Dr. Mitri has a calm and considerate that makes him easy to trust as your dentist. He gave reassuring explanations about his work while doing it and clearly made an effort to avoid causing pain. His office is attractive and his team were also friendly. A very good experience.

I hate going to the dentist but Dr. Mitri is great! His calm demeanor, always keeping you informed of what he is doing and when there will be discomfort and for how long. It really helps relieve anxieties. If you are looking for a dentist, I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Dr. Mitri. He isn’t part of a large practice that sometime makes you feel like you are at the DMV, but rather he has his own private practice and gives the utmost attention.

I really like Dr. Mitri. I get anxious about going to the dentist thanks to a terrible past experience, but Dr. Mitri is very kind, checks in often to make sure that I’m ok, and narrates his actions so I know what to expect. The cleanings are thorough – he used the water pick in the past, though the more traditional method this time (it had been awhile since my last visit), and seems very knowledgable. He could tell right away when I slacked off on flossing. I actually like that he does the cleaning and think it gives him a better chance to check out my teeth; at my last place, I barely saw the dentist. I’m surprised at the comments about night guards; he’s pointed out the damage from where I grind my teeth – which I know I do – and suggested I get one, but hasn’t pushed or ever suggested that I get one from him (I planned to get one on Amazon). He mentioned that it’s a common problem in stressed-out DC and that he recommends them several times a day. They can usually fit me in on a few days notice, and I’m in and out in 30 minutes. I can’t speak to his work beyond regular checkups, but don’t see any reason for concern.

I’ve had nothing but great care from Dr Mitri for more than a decade.  I suffered from severe headaches.  He recommended a night guard and it changed my life.  I find him caring, easy to get an appointment with, prompt and he steers me toward the right care.

He’s been my and my husband’s dentist for decades. He’s carefully following safe protocols (requiring patients to enter wearing a mask, having the dental assistant/receptionist/x-ray technician take your temperature at check-in, careful scheduling to minimize patients in the waiting room). He’s completely professional yet relaxed and engages with his patients. And he’s quick! I only had to wait about 10 minutes before he called me in. He has 2 exam rooms, so he can go back and forth to work with 2 patients at a time. It had been 3 years since I last saw him, so I not only got my teeth cleaned, but also had an x-ray (you stand stationary while the x-ray scan goes around your head) and a refitting of an old retainer. While cleaning my teeth, he even got rid of a small spot during on one tooth that I feared was a cavity, but was just a stain. And we scheduled our next 6-month appointment before leaving. 

Absolutely LOVE this dentist. I had been told prior by two dentists that I would “have to have” dentures. I am only 46 years old and wasn’t looking forward to that at all. The ladies in my office recommended Dr. Mitri, so I went to him and he is AMAZING. I am only losing possibly ONE tooth…..he is saving the rest and at a very reasonable cost! LOVE THIS DENTIST!!! They also send texts to remind you of your appointments!! Super great.

I needed a new dentist because mine retired, and I have neglected finding a new dentist for a couple of years for a variety of reasons. Frankly, I was a little embarrassed to find a new dentist after my self-neglect. Dr. Mitri’s office is friendly and efficient, and I found him to be an extremely personable, thoughtful and reassuring professional. I expect to continue to see Dr. Mitri based upon two recent visits.
