★★★★★

I absolutely love Dr Yi Jay!!! The staff is amazing and you never have a long wait they never over book! I’ve been to other dentists that tell me I need this or that done and I know I don’t and they are pushy, here they don’t do that they don’t scam you or your insurance! I recommend them to everybody that asks me about dentists!! My family and I have been going here for 6 years we give them 5 stars out of 5!!!

I’ve been a patient at Kensington Dental Designs for about a decade and have had a number of services including cleanings and extractions. Quality of work is great, and it is easy to schedule appointments. The staff are fantastic, including the reception personnel, the dental hygienists, and Dr. Yi. They are friendly, professional and run a great business. I live in DC and don’t mind driving to Kensington to receive my dental care. Thank you!

★★★★★

Dr. Yi and his staff are always professional and courteous. Dr. Yi always takes the time to listen to your dental concerns and offers very detailed explanations. At one point my insurance changed and I had to change dental practices. Thankfully, Dr. Yi started accepting my new insurance and my husband and I were more than happy to Kensington Dental Designs.

My son and I have been going to Dr Jay Yi since my son was 6 years old, He will now be 16. The office staff are nice, friendly, and very professional, and the office is very clean. Dr Yi is gentle with his procedures, and has a wonderful bedside manner. I’m proud to say My son has NOT had 1 single cavity or issue with his teeth due to Dr Yi’s dental advise, and procedures. We are very happy, and smile happy patients thanks to Dr Yi. We highly recommend Dr Yi. Jacqueline Ghunaim

My dad has been going to Kensington Dental Designs for several years now and has nothing but good things to say about them. If the location were more convenient for me, I would go as well but alas, it is not. Therefore I am sharing this review on his behalf. Specifically, his dentist is gentle and has a pleasant disposition, both desirable qualities for a dentist. As such, he would highly recommend them for one’s dental care needs.

★★★★★

My whole family has seen Dr. Yi for a few years and will continue to do so as long as we’re in the area. We used to live in Kensington, and now we travel from Arlington to see him because we are so satisfied with is work. Dr. Yi is extremely professional and direct. He has a gentle but thorough exam style, as comfortable as dental probing can be. He really bends over backwards for his patients–he is one of the few dentists who has Saturday appointments, and it’s great that we don’t have to miss work or school for our dental care. We are particularly pleased with the way Dr. Yi has treated our child. Each time we have seen him, Dr. Yi has very patiently worked through our child’s nervousness. Dr. Yi also employs a very professional, cheerful staff. All of the hygienists I have seen there have been terrific, and they clearly enjoy the work they do. We’re big fans of Dr. Yi and would recommend him to others.

★★★★★

Dr Yi is an amazing dentist! I highly recommend him. He is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and kind. And his staff are pleasant as well. I hadn’t been to a dentist in 10 years for various reasons, and I’m sure glad a friend recommended Dr Yi. The office is small and unassuming, the care and treatment and staff are absolutely wonderful. Best dentist I have ever been to!

★★★★★

Dr. Yi is a great dentist and takes the time to explain your health of your teeth, as well as explaining what would be beneficial to the overall health of your teeth whether it’s fillings, wisdom teeth, or a root canal. The dental office always has a nice upkeep in terms of cleanliness and putting the patient at ease. On top of that he’s never afraid to use progressive dental tools like cavity detectors

★★★★★

Kennedy Dental Designs is a good dental place because of the service, staff, and the appointment. They are very honest. The staff are polite and care about your health. They also will answer any questions you have about your health like if you have a cavity or if your need to brush your teeth for a longer period of time. The appointment might take awhile but they will put more effort than any other dental care. I enjoyed the appointment and I highly suggest the Kensington Dental Designs.

★★★★★

A mi gusta el doctor Yi porque es bien profesional y muy onesto y siempre es muy amable . Yo tenía un problema dental y el dentista me explico todo muy bien los procedimientos y me ofreció varios opciones de tratamiento y los costos para que yo podía decidir que fue lo mejor para mi. Yo lo recomendaría.

Anthony G. from Washington, DC (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I usually don’t like going to the dentist but Dr. Yi has done such a great job on my teeth, I don’t mind going to him. I don’t have that fear I used to have with other dentists. A minimum of pain and he does excellent work. Plus his staff is very friendly and makes me welcome when I come in. I always get a courtesy call when my appt. is due. And if anything becomes available before then, the receptionist calls to let me know. I definitely recommend Dr. Yi if you are looking for a new dentist.

★★★★★

Dr. Yi is very professional, and when I am getting any sort of procedure, I know I am in good hands. He is also very good with younger kids, my six-year-old brother is also a patient and he is never scared or worried. All the staff are polite and greet you when you walk in. I would recommend Dr. Yi to anyone looking for a dentist.

Anthony R. from Alexandria, VA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

We have been going to Dr. Yi for a long time now. Out of all the dentists to date, he has been the most honest and helpful. He will tell you exactly what you need and will not sell you on unnecessary dental work. We have been to several dentists and Dr. Yi is by far the Most Professional and Honest of the All the numerous dentists we have visited.

Ros A. from Silver Spring, MD (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I have been coming to Dr Yi for years.  Apart from being close to where I live, with convenient parking, I really LIKE this dentist.  I have had root canals and crowns and the best thing is, mininal pain. Dr Yi is very careful and gentle yet thorough, even on routine check ups and cleaning. His staff are always friendly and professional – there is no need to dread going to the dentist here!

LIBERTY DECASTRO-HAYES (Source: Google)

★★★★★

Dr. Yi continues to provide an excellent dental experience – no pain, no trying to sell any products or unnecessary service. We had an appointment at 8 am on Saturday; we came in a few minutes early, and they were there. I wish Dr Yi has a dental practice in Washington, DC. as well. I would recommend him to every one who is looking for a good dentist.

★★★★★

I have been going to Dr. Yi for about 6 years and have had the dental care that I appreciate. The ladies cleaning my teeth are friendly and good at what they do but don’t talk my ear off which I like. Dr. Yi is swift in his analysis and of the various procedures I’ve had like a crown, I felt no pain which is huge for me as I have a fear of tooth pain. He tells me how he sees it but doesn’t try to push anything. Thanks so much for your wonderful service.

★★★★★

After having a bad painful experience with my previous dentist I was recommended by a friend to try Kensington Dental Design. After my filling fell out again from the previous dentist, I finally made an appointment to see Dr. Yi. Everyone in the office was very welcoming and made me feel comfortable. I even was able to get an appointment the very next day. I absolutely recommend Kensington Dental Design and I’m glad I made the switch.

I had the opportunity to visit Dr. Yi’s clinic, Kensington Dental. All his staff very friendly and professional, the place very clean and very considerate in their prices, Dr. Yi very friendly and above all professional, his bilingual assistant, I recommend them

★★★★★

I highly recommend Dr. Yi and his staff. They are conscientious, caring, and exceptionally professional. Dr. Yi has taken care of my family’s teeth for over 10 years. He continually provides good advice on better ways to care for and protect our teeth. When my son needed an emergency root canal he cleared his schedule and got him right in for the procedure. He is a great family dentist.

Lettie K. from Silver Spring, MD (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I have been seeing Dr. Yi for the past couple of years. Since I am retired and find it difficult to have a dental insurance I stopped visiting him. Since I lost his magic touch in taking care of my teeth, I came back to him. He was welcoming, and gave me reasonable price on the dental work he had to do. Dr. Yi is very courteous, made me feel confident about the dental work he was going to do on the evaluation and the xrays he had taken. He made sure that I understand his procedures and always made sure that I ask him questions, if I had any. He is very honest. I am very, very pleased with the dental work he had performed and can comfortably smile. I will continue to visit him for his excellent service. As for his office, he has very friendly staff, well mannered and courteous. His office is clean and well maintained. I can highly recommend Dr. Yi to any one who his in need of dental work. They will be in good hands. I wish him well for his continuing service to the community and God bless him!

★★★★★

I “inherited” Dr. Yi from our previous dentist in the same office when he left to go out of state. I was open-minded, but a little apprehensive as I had a very good relationship with the former dentist. Dr. Yi has fully filled that small area of initial doubt, and has turned out to be the best dentist I have had.  He is knowledgeable, up to date on the latest procedures,meticulous, caring, and conscious of the patient’s discomfort if any. He follows up with any procedure that is out of the ordinary, with a phone call to make sure everything is OK. He is not only an excellent dentist, he is an exceptional person. I have recommended Dr. Yi to several friends, and when I married my present husband, I convinced him to leave the dentist he had gone to for years, and come to Dr. Yi. He has not regretted the move. We both hold Dr. Jay Yi in the highest regard.

I am petrified at the dentist but I had a great experience with Dr. Yi and his team. Everyone was very kind and understanding of my fear – and best of all my appointment was pretty painless. Dr. Yi explained the status of my oral health thoroughly and used techniques that helped reduce my anxiety and made this visit a good experience. Thank you Dr. Yi and team!

★★★★★

I just finished my second appointment with Dr. Yi. It has been the best dental visit I have ever had. Dr. Li was professional. friendly and communicated all he was doing at every step. Obviously he is extremely knowledgeable in his field.The reception staff was kind, courteous and are very aware of covid procedures. Wendy, one of Dr. Li’s technicians, was over the top in patient care. I told her in the beginning I was always anxious about going to a dentist. She made sure I was comfortable about being there and was a big part of my positive experience. I will gladly recommend Dr. Li and Kensington Dental Designs.

★★★★★

I researched dentists in the area and decided to try Dr. Yi at Kensington Dental Designs. The experience I had was very positive. The receptionist quickly scheduled me for an appointment. The staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. Li took time to speak to me at length, clean my teeth, and he made valuable suggestions. Based on my first visit, the quality of care was outstanding and the office was clean and welcoming; and I can heartily recommend the practice.

Jason S. from Mid-City West, Los Angeles, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I was visiting Rockville area from LA, and I developed a pretty severe toothache.  It was the same tooth my dentist worked on right before leaving LA. My brother was quick to recommend his dentist, Dr. Yi.  I was hesitant and nervous to see a stranger but I felt like my tooth was screaming so loud that it had to be looked at ASAP.  The receptionist was nice and she secured a Saturday appointment for me.  After the exam, my worst fear evaporated when Dr. Yi calmly explained to me what was going on.  Right away you can tell he is very knowledgeable.  It was like talking to a pleasant teacher learning something new, and the solution couldn’t be simpler as he explained.  He took his drill and slightly changed the way my teeth came together.  I didn’t know not having a correct bite can cause that much misery.  Like instant magic, my tooth and my face started to feel better.  It was like having a tense and painful muscle finally relax.  I was so terrified that he might say I needed a root canal or something serious.  His demeanor was calm, pleasant and I get a certain sense that he really loves helping people.  He has a relatively small but clean office with just a few workers but they all seem to work very well together.  I most highly recommend Dr. Yi to anyone who needs a dentist and especially to those who are afraid of dentists.  My whole experience at Dr. Yi’s office is as good as it gets.

I had such a wonderful experience at Kensington Dental Designs. Dr. Yi and his team Launie, Sarah and James are all really amazing! I have nothing but praise for them! I needed a lot of work on my teeth (many fillings, a crown and a surgical wisdom tooth extraction). I was anxious, especially about the extraction but Dr. Yi was very thorough, skilled and gentle. I felt minimal pain and now all the major work on my teeth is complete. Dr. Yi is honest and provided the treatment I exactly needed and did not push any other unnecessary services on me. I paid much less than what I thought I would for the kind of work I needed. I am super grateful! I did have good coverage and they did all the paperwork and negotiations on my behalf and made sure I got the most out of my dental insurance. Sarah at the front desk has been reallly sweet and awesome; following up to schedule my appointments, letting me know when there were earlier openings and dealing with all the insurance paperwork. Launie and James are really great assistants, they have both been so gentle and kind throughout the whole process! I know this is super long but when I was searching for dentists in the area after moving from Austin, TX 2 months ago, I really appreciated the detailed reviews about people’s whole experiences ranging from the quality of the dental treatment to affordability and comfort. Thank God I found Dr. Yi’s practice so near to where I am living currently. I know that as long as I am in the DMV area, I will be going to Dr. Yi for my dental needs. I would give the whole team 10 stars if I could!

Dr Yi balances personal care, hands-on attention, and new technology perfectly. In my time asa patient for several years (as have others in my family), I have achieved a major improvement in my dental health under Dr Yi’s care. I am delighted by his expertise, quality of care, and engaging personality.

I researched for dental practices near my home and decided to go with Dr. Yi. I had been very pleased with their service. Dr. Yi is very knowledgeable and take the time to discuss your dental health with you and needed treatments. His staff from the receptionist to the assistants are very cordial, available to answer all your questions over the phone and in person and take the time to explain things and work with you. The equipment and facilities are well kept. His fees are very competitive in comparison with other practices in the area.

After trying a few dentists after mine retired, I finally found Dr. Yi at Kensington Dental Designs and am very happy with him. He is a really good dentist, meticulous in his work, and has caused me no pain whatsoever. He and the office atmosphere is very pleasant, which is important because sometimes going to the dentist can be stressful.

I think this dental center is the best one of the best I have ever been to. Dr. Yi is very patient and honest. The couch in the waiting area is really comfortable which adds a little warmth touch to the place. The staff is very polite and gives a really warm welcome to every patient on top of everything.

★★★★★

I was dr. Jay’s patient couple years ago because his office was very close to us. After we moved my husband and I tried two other dentists and we were not really happy so we decided to have dr. Jay as our dentist. Dr. Jay is very professional and knowledgeable. He does an excellent job every time we visit him and refers to specialist if needed. The technicians and the receptionists are very friendly as well.

My family and I have been coming to Dr. Yi for almost 10 years now and the service is always exceptional. The staff is always friendly and courteous. We will be visiting for years to come. We highly recommend Kensington Dental Designs for everyone. Thank you, Dr. Yi!

I have been a patient of Dr. Yi for several years. He is extremely patient with me. When he learned that I had high anxiety about visiting the dentist, he sat and talked with me to offer solutions to calm my nerves. Now, several years later, I can visit without any anxiety! He is an excellent dentist with a good staff who have been in his employ for a long time. He works very efficiently and is an excellent communicator. I would strongly recommend him to any person looking for a new dentist.

I am a new patient at Kensington Dental Designs, but my husband and son have been going for years. I had gone to a different practice for years but decided to change because of their positive feedback of Dr. Jay Yi. My son has had various dental procedures, including cosmetic dentistry and was well satisfied and his smile looks wonderful. My husband has also been satisfied. The desk manager is very nice and helpful. They always send out reminders and call as well. I was very pleased with my first appointment. We have recommended them to our daughter as well. Before changing, I also read many glowing reviews of this practice.

I am beyond happy with Dr Yi. I came in thinking I needed surgery on a tooth but he was keen to figuring out exactly what’s going on with my teeth and made me feel secure. He is super knowledgeable and explained things in a way I could understand. Also! He’s assistant Launie is amazing! Also very knowledgeable and made me feel at ease.
