PATIENT REVIEWS

I would not have choose another Orthodontist, Dr Avila is one of the best out there. Everyone in the office make sure that they do there best everyday and make sure every task is done perfectly. I feel more comfortable walking around now a days with how much of a perfect job they have done with my teeth. I highly recommend going to Sublime Smiles if you want you teeth done right.

Like many people, I didn’t consistently wear my retainer wearing braces as a kid, so I decided to go back as an adult and get Invisalign. I went with Dr. Avila at Sublime Smiles for my adult treatment, and they gave me far superior results compared to my first go-round.  Dr. Avila is exceptional, his staff is fantastic (they gave me congratulatory balloons for my pregnancy!), the office is very modern and clean, and I was quite happy with the results.  Overall I would strongly recommend Sublime Smiles for anybody looking for orthodontic work.

Sublime Smiles is an amazing practice!! The staff and Dr. Avila are very attentive, patient and professional. I wouldn’t trade my experience with any other orthodontist. Keep us smiling Sublime Smiles you’re amazing!

Dr. Eduardo and his staff are awesome! I was there a year ago with my daughter and we weren’t able to get the braces due to personal reasons. A year later they still remembered us and treated us like family. My wife speaks Spanish and the Doc even takes the time to go back and translate the whole plan of action so she could understand. My family is truly luck to of found Dr. Eduardo and his team! Great location and great staff. And even great payment options! David C. father of Andrea H

We had a great experience with Dr. Avila and his staff. I had two daughters getting braces at the same time and they worked with us to coordinate appointments. My daughter’s always felt comfortable whether I was in appointments with them or not. The staff did a great job handling all of the teenage angst surrounding braces. We have had a few times we were nervous about brackets popping off or bands breaking and they saw us right away and calmed any nerves I had!

Dr. Avila and his staff are absolutely FANTASTIC! I wasted $500 at Dr. Norkiewicz’s office at state of the art dental. Never go to someone who is not an orthodontist for Invisalign treatment. They do not have sufficient training or knowledge! Dr. Avila and his wife Amanda (who is the patient coordinator) understood my concerns during my initial visit. They were so knowledgeable and I left the FREE consultation with confidence. Amanda worked with me on the pricing, allowed me to make monthly affordable payments with no interest. My treatment is estimated to be 12 months, I have 2 more months left and I am absolutely happy with how results are turning out. Also, Dr. Avila is willing to shave my teeth down to fix the un-smooth edges at the end of treatment so it will look almost perfect! More pros: -Staff is great and friendly, ALWAYS -I am usually in and out of the office 10-15 minutes unless I break a bracket -Dr. Avila resembles Keanu Reeves -Appointments are very easy to make -Dr. Avila has time to see you every visit -Very open to any concerns I had I am recommending my friend who bought an Invisalign living social deal (don’t get buy those) to come see Dr. Avila bc she is not happy with her treatment. Remember, always go to an orthodontist for Invisalign & you get what you pay for! If you’re paying to get something fixed, you mind as well pay good money for it to be perfection!

Dr. Avila’s office in Gaithersburg is fantastic!  Everyone is friendly and helpful.  From the first appointment, Dr. Avlia and his staff developed a plan for both of my kids.  Plus, they helped us figure out the payment plan that worked best with our insurance and our budget.  My daughter says “they are gentle, sweet, and kind.”

Amazing doctor with a great team! I’m halfway through my program and am very happy with the results. From the start Dr. Avila’s focus was to make sure I was happy with my program and he has been true to his word thus far. They even went out of the way to remove my brackets prior to my wedding just so we can have better pictures. Dr. Avila was out sick on the day he was supposed to remove my brackets, but was able to secure an appointment with Dr. Perez-West downstairs the same day to take care of the issue since I was flying out of town the next day. If you’re looking for a good looking for an amazing knowledgeable doctor who actually cares about his patients then look no further!

Sublime Smiles is an amazing orthodontist! The entire staff is extremely welcoming and friendly. They are also all very professional and care a lot about each patient. I had my invisalign done there and the entire process went very smoothly. Both of their offices are very accommodating, with minimal wait times and hours that are convenient for people with really busy schedules, such as myself. Dr. Avila was always very patient and clearly explained everything during the process.My teeth look great now thanks to them.

I spent 9+ years of my childhood in braces and my former orthodontist left a permanent bar cemented behind my front two teeth. On my honeymoon I bit into a sandwich and this bar broke. Over the next week a giant gap appeared between my front two teeth causing my teeth to shift instantaneously. February 2012 I visited the office of Doctor Avila at Sublime Smiles in Rockville, MD. After a brief consultation they developed a plan to correct my gap. We discussed payment, signed a contract, and took impressions to get started. Getting started was a really easy process! I began Invisalign in March 2012 and just 9 months later I have my perfect smile back!!! Doctor Avila’s staff is friendly, professional, and they all have the most upbeat attitudes. This is the first time in 30 years I have been to a Doctor’s office where I did not experience a long wait time. Each visit I would arrive at the time of my scheduled appointment or a few minutes early and I was being helped within 2-3 minutes tops. The staff always called the day prior to remind me of my appointment so that helped too. For anyone who is considering correcting their teeth I highly recommend Dr. Avila and Staff! If you are weighing your options between traditional braces and Invisalign, I advise you to go with the Invisalign treatment, as it is virtually painless and less time consuming of a process. Thank you Sublime Smiles for giving me confidence when I smile

My daughter Kelly recently had her braces placed at Sublime Smiles Orthodontics. We are so pleased with the friendly staff. They go out of their way to make the patients feel comfortable and helped ease her fears. Dr. Avila is extremely friendly and even called to follow up on how my daughter was doing the day after her braces were placed. We are very happy our general dentist Dr. Karl Lee referred us to such a wonderful practice!

Dr. Avila and his Assistants are amazing! Every time I go see them there is always so much progress on my teeth. I am extremely happy with their services, very professional and kind. I’m on my late 20’s and I decided to get braces probably not on the best time because since I got the braces, I graduated, got engaged, and I’m about to get married.. (everything happened in one year). This was not easy for me because obviously you will have plenty of memorable pictures of those special events. I was very anxious, stressed and so conscious about the braces and gaps that I had in between my teeth; but Dr. Avila and his Assistants made it all possible! They helped me so much to cover those gaps and to make everything less visible. I can’t imagine going elsewhere and getting the same treatment. Dr. Avila, you and your staff are doing an awesome job, helping people getting their beautiful smiles!

Dr. Avila and the staff at Sublime Smiles have been fantastic and have made my experience with orthodontics as easy and enjoyable as possible. The Sublime Smiles team is courteous, professional, and wonderful to work with. I am currently about 10 months into treatment with Invisalign, my first venture into orthodontic care, and have had a great experience so far with Sublime Smiles. From the initial consult through each visit, the process has always been fully explained and has progressed with great efficiency. Dr. Avila always takes the time to explain the treatment plan and ask about my experience and progress. He has been great to talk to and is always willing and able to answer any questions that come up. Appointments have been easy to schedule, begin with hardly any waiting time, if any, and have always been quick, but thorough. Not only has the entire process been convenient, but the staff is always open and attentive and makes each visit comfortable and enjoyable. While I am looking forward to being out of my aligners and enjoying the finished product, I will miss being able to work with the great people at Sublime Smiles and am very thankful I chose them to manage my orthodontic care!

We have been seeing Dr. Avila for about 2 years.  The staff is always friendly when you walk in.  I like how they walk you through the process and explain what is going on and what you need to do to correct the problem.  Scheduling is very easy and they even text and send you an email to let you know about your upcoming appointment.  I give them a thumbs up for all the work they do to make our teeth nice

Went to Dr. Avila’s office for Invisalign, and just recently completed the treatment. By far the best experience I’ve had with a dentist (or any doctor really). Both locations have the latest technology and are decorated beautifully. Dr. Avila is very knowledgeable and responsive- I am very happy with the final results. Customer Service is pristine, and everyone in the office is just great!

Highly recommend!!!

So far I have spent 6 years in braces and Dr. Avila has been the only orthodontist I have seen and trust. Him and his staff make sure my monthly check-up is as pleasant and enjoyable as possible! The staff is very welcoming and hospitable- always explaining what they were doing and what the next step of the plan was. I would recommend Dr. Avila to anyone who is searching for Orthodontic services due to his down-to-earth personality,

Sublime Smiles is an AWESOME place to go to if you need braces. Dr. Avila and the other orthodontists are so professional and do such a good job of making sure everything is right. A few days ago I found myself asking my mom over and over how many days were left until my next appointment. And when I thought about why I was asking it was because I realized how much I enjoy going there every month. I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Avila to anyone who needs braces.

What a great experience as an adult getting braces! Invisalign was not an option so I went for it. So thankful that I did. An excellent orthodontist with an amazingly friendly and competent staff. Extremely accommodating! Love the offices very hip and laid back but professional. Just a great experience. Just sorry I can’t show my smile off more because of the mask we have to wear. Highly recommend Sublime Smiles.

Both of my children (22 and 16) have been Dr. Avila’s patients. He and his staff are wonderful. It is also a family office, in which his wife Amanda, who runs administrative part of Dr. Avila’s business, and he work as a team. They and their staff have been very caring, helpful and kind. I have already recommended them to several friends. They and their children are very happy with Dr. Avila’s work and great bed-side manners.

My three teenagers got their braces within months of each other at Sublime Smiles in the Kentlands.  What could have been a traumatic year with check ups, adjustments and broken brackets has turned out to be a painless and easy process!  Dr. Avila is highly accessible with a comforting personality; his staff is very responsive and professional.  Even the financial manager is welcoming and efficient.  They always manage to schedule my three kids on the same day, so there is no eternal running back and forth for orthodontist appointments!  The kids’ future smiles are progressing nicely and we have Dr. Avila and his staff to thank.

Sublime smiles is a great choice if you are in need of braces. Dr. Avila & the staff are friendly & professional. I especially enjoy the “patients reward program” which gives incentive to patients to do good brushing and oral hygiene. I would recommend this to anyone looking for an orthodontist and braces. They have two convenient locations in Montgomery County, MD and convenient hours for kids in school.

I have been visiting Sublime Smiles for about a year and a half. I can only say only good things about Dr. Avila and his team. Since this is my second round with braces, and I have been a patient to multiple orthodontists, Dr. Avila have been the best. I like the convenience that I can visit two offices, and I am not restricted to just one. Not lastly, they do not have any hidden fees.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr Avila and the entire staff at Sublime Smiles. I’ve had braces and Invisalign more than once in my life and this was the absolute best experience. Dr A always takes his time to chat through issues, accomodate for individual needs and go out of his way to make sure his patients are taken care of. His compassionate, kind style flows down through every person in the office. So grateful for Dr Avila and the whole team at Sublime Smiles for helping me get a perfect smile!

Doctor Avila and his staff are very professional, polite, and accommodating when it is possible. Dr. Avila has great communications skills and know how to talk to each customer, kids, teens and adults. I had an overbite and two of my lower teeth were a little crooked. I opted for Invisalign, which in my opinion, is preferred treatment option for adults. I have been wearing braces for almost two year, and now my treatment is almost over. My teeth are straight, but the difference with overbite before Invisalign and after is not as visible, as say with crooked teeth. But I see this treatment not only as cosmetic, but also as health related. My dentist said that correct bite helps prevent some dental issues. Moreover, I am grinding my teeth when I sleep, and the braces protect my teeth. One word of caution for any orthodontic treatment: you should not expect results overnight. It is a long process, which requires commitment not only from a doctor, but from a patient on the first place. For example, with Invisalign, you need to wear braces at least 20 hours a day (22 is better). You cannot eat or drink with them (except water). You will need to brush teeth after each meal and drink, meaning you need to carry brushing set with you everywhere. Don’t make decision about Invisalign lightly, and if you started it, follow through. I will recommend Dr. Avila’s office to my friends and to people who are reading this review.

Going to the orthodontist was a part of my childhood. I was overjoyed when my braces came off but I stopped wearing my retainers after high school. This is one of my biggest regrets! Through the years my teeth shifted and became crowded. After talking to my dentist, I decided that braces were the best option to fix my teeth. I moved away from my hometown so I could no longer go to the Orthodontist I had known as a child. I didn’t want a mouth full of metal like my teenage years so I went to the Invisalign website and found Dr. Avila. I checked out the Sublime Smiles website and immediately scheduled an appointment. Their hours work well with my work schedule (they even have Saturday appointments) and I never have to wait to be seen even when I get to the office much earlier than my scheduled time. I’m almost done with my treatment and I am thrilled with the results. I highly recommend this practice. The orthodontist that my dentist recommended wanted to push me into traditional braces and didn’t seem to care about me as a patient. This is not the case with Dr. Avila. The staff is warm and welcoming and truly care about what is happening in their patient’s lives. I think my teeth look better now than when I was 15 and got my braces off for the first time! Shh–just don’t tell my Orthodontist back home!

Sublime smiles is the best there is. The staff are really kind and always greet you with a big smile. I’m always excited when I go there because I know I will be treated care. Dr. Avila is always nice and talks to me a lot. They’re just the best and I wouldn’t ever want to change my orthodontist. SUBLIME SMILES IS THE WAY TO GO FOT AN ORTHODONTIST!

So I have always wanted straight teeth! you know like the ones that the movie stars have (minus the veneers lol) and for the past few years i have been working towards that. i knew that i would need braces due to the fact that i sucked my finger until i was 21(lol) and my wisdom teeth had caused my bottom teeth to cross. I was referred to Dr. Avila by my general dentist and so far so good. I was told that i had a limited case that would take around 14 months to complete. My insurance paid some and I paid the rest is on a payment plan. It took about 3 weeks from the time i was scanned to until i got my invisalign. **the first day** I came in very excited to get my treatment started ( i called off work, i was not sure how this would be) also i had just came from Cancun the day before. The initial appointment was 1 hour and a half. I ate before i went because i knew that it would be awhile before i ate again. I was not aware that i had to get attachments put on my teeth, so I went in thinking i would get my invisalign , they would show me how to put them on and life would go on. Boy was i wrong. step 1- The dental assistant did a mild cleaning on my teeth with something that was extremely sour step 2- attachments glued onto my teeth(feels like permanent plaque, the worst feeling ever) step 3 – invisalign placed on for the first time. After they were placed I was thinking “hey this is easy” but I remembered other reviews that I had read about the pain and my orthodontist told me the pain would kick in later and to take some Tylenol. A year later, My teeth are almost where I want them, the office is great at setting and reminding of appointments, I always go during my lunch time and I am in and out in less than an hour and anything I need, they are always there. This has been the only time in my life I have felt confident about my dental process I love it here 🙂

WOW!! I had such a wonderful experience, my daughter had braces places Friday. Everyone is just so welcoming and friendly, starting with the front desk staff. Becky was very nice, patient and explained everything in great deal to my child. Her and Dr. Avila kept talking to us and and explaining all that was going to happen, I really like the rewards that they give them. I just love the place:) Thank you for the great service:)

Our 15 yo daughter just finished treatment with Dr. Avila’s office. We were so pleased how her teeth turned out!! Prior going to Sublime smiles, I took my daughter to many others offices for consultation. Generally, either the cost was too high or was not happy with the plan. I finally asked a friend who had multiple children in braces. She told me, definitely Dr. A. is the best! Two years later, I have to agree! It been a good experience.

As a family we have had a great experinces with Dr. Avila and his excellent staff for over three years. Since the beginning I was very impressed by the cutting edge technology available for the treatment as well as the level of skill of their associates. In this regard, I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Evelyn and Julie’s professionalism, character and outstanding performance. They are AWESOME! I will definitely recommend Dr. Avila to family and friends Great treatment with good hands.

I am very very pleased with Dr. Avila and his staff are wonderful! Everyone is very kind and helpful. Ever since the first day I walked in I knew it was the right place to get my braces their staff is AWESOME!!! and they have a great payment plan which is very important. They always answer the phone or call back and most importantly if anything happens they will see you right away. Thank you so much for taking your time to treat me and for the wonderful smile I know I will have. I am so happy I was able to find a great office!!! and the decoration and music is great!!! 🙂

My daughter had braces earlier from a different orthodontist but the experience with Dr. Avila and staff was a world apart. They are friendly, accommodating, very organized and even returned me money that the insurance had paid in excess! They talk you through the process before and during and there were no surprises. The two office locations gave me options for late afternoon appointments. Highly recommend Dr. Avila.

Started my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Avila last July and my teeth look awesome! I am going to be finished ahead of schedule and my teeth look better than I could have imagined! Very impressed! The Offices are so clean and the visits were quick and painless. The staff is friendly and Dr. Avila is very personable. I would recommend Dr. Avila and Sublime Smiles for any orthodontic needs!

Finally got my braces at age 25, and it’s never too late. I did some research and decided on Sublime Smiles (kudos to Yelp). The staff is so courteous and friendly. On consultation, they aren’t overbearing and take the time to explain everything to you. Dr. Avila was extremely informative and answers every single question that I may have. The prices are reasonable and competitive in comparison to neighboring offices. They will also work with you on pricing and setting up any monthly payments if you need it. The first time I got my brackets on, Dr. Avila called me that night as a follow up and asked me how I was adjusting to them, if I had any questions, and said I could feel free to call the office with any concerns. I thought that was so thoughtful and it shows he really cares about all his patients. He will work with you on every appointment. He’s super down to earth, charismatic, and works extremely well with children. He is courteous and remembers little details about your day and will bring it up. Setting up appointments are a breeze, and there’s hardly any wait time upon arrival. Plus, if you want your wires trimmed or if a bracket comes off, you can call in and they will do their best to get you in that same day or the next day. I’m only on the 4th month but so far I’m very satisfied with the services. All the staff members are so wonderful and professional I cannot recommend this place highly enough.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
