Cascades Center for Dental Health

I first went to Cascades Dental due to an issue with TMJ in which my jaw became locked in an open state. My previous dentist had had given me muscle relaxers and sent me on my way. After 3 weeks of jaw issues I saw Dr. Ruparelia and within 5 minutes he was able to manually maneuver my jaw back into correct alignment! The entire staff was so friendly and they made sure that my comfort was their priority. I have since become a regular patient and have been impressed by the thoroughness of the routine dental checks and their ability to perform on the spot treatments, such as deep cleaning, without having to schedule another appointment to come back. My entire family has now switched over as well and my husband agreed it is a night and day difference in the service/​care we are now receiving. The children just had their first checkup there and loved the staff and the free goodies ;) I would highly recommend Cascades dental for both adults and children!

Fantastic first experience today with Dental Hygienist, Abby! Extremely considerate of my comfort and she has an amazingly gentle hand, considering I was getting a deep cleaning. Met the lovely Dr. Hagert, whom I can’t wait to work with in the near future and also the infamous Dr. R! The ladies at the front desk were so courteous and delightful. I don’t think anyone really loves going to the dentist but today I was totally won over. Thank you Cascades Center for Dental Health!
All their paperwork is very straight forward. I can see some other reviewers complained about cancelation fees and insurance coverage. You sign documents during your visit that explain cancelations are to be made 48 hours in advance or you will be charged $ 50 cancelation fee. And you also sign quotes for dental work showing the «best case scenario» if your insurance will cover and «worst case scenario» if your insurance decides not to cover any portions. Read what you sign! Very straight forward and hospitable practice.

I loved this dentist and was so happy that they took my insurance… or so I thought. Apparently they had agreed upon a price with my insurance to cover my fillings, had me pay the difference, and then after it was said and done, I ended up owing an extra $ 200 5 months later. I chose this dentist to fill my cavities because I was quoted a cheaper price than other locations and they came highly recommended. In the end, I should have gone to the dentist in Reston since they gave me a true quote (lower than what I paid here). Looks like I will be finding a new dentist.

Since I was a kid, I was always afraid of the dentist. As an adult, I have struggled to find a dentist I was comfortable with. Cascades Dental gets full marks. The receptionists are very friendly, and always say «You’re checked in Josh» as I walk in the door, without even needing to ask my name. Never do I have to wait long to see the hygienist or the dentist. I have to get a lot of work done and recently went in for a root canal — Dr. Haggert was great! Also, Dr. Haggert called me a few days after the root canal to ask how things were going. It seems everyone there takes a strong interest in your oral health & are very personable. They send reminder texts (if you want them), and also call you to make sure the appointments are still good. I don’t dread it anymore when I see a dentist appointment on my calendar.

Went there for a implant procedure and the dentist was rude and told me if I did not take care of the area as he directed it would be like throwing away 500 bucks. I went with my wife’s dentist and was pleasantly surprised at how good Cindy Voo in Sterling was. Despite having excellent county employee insurance, got a bill for the one time preliminary consultation for 441 dollars. they didnt really do anything and within weeks transunion showed up as a delinquent credit hit… I called to negotiate with them as it was under their collector’s name (Trojan Professional services) and they said send us a check. nothing more. A bit of time passed and now they have filed with Equifax under THEIR name as a delinquent acccount even though it is the same incident. Horrible and never again, and the only tyarnish on my credit I might add.

Do not make an appointment here. I made my first appointment which I unfortunately had to cancel due to my daughter having a medical emergency. So I called in advance to reschedule. They rescheduled me for a date and time I specifically told them in advance that I wasn’t sure I could make. Nonetheless they penciled me in. When I called to reschedule that appointment, they said they were no longer interested in having me as a patient and took my $ 150.00 deposit. Rude and obnoxious behavior. Completely unsympathetic. Do not take your business here. Ridiculous.

My family has been going to Cascades Dental Health for over 8 years. I have always been impressed with Dr. Ruparelia and his staff. What has always impressed me is the quality of work done there at a fair price.
They are by far one of the best dentist practices in Northern Virginia.

Had an old 10 year old filling that fell out. They took me right away and temporarily glued it in. Later they put a temporary crown and later replaced it with a permanent one. About an hour after the temp crown was put in, I managed to chew the inside of my cheek while it was still numb from the anesthesia. I asked to come in to have it checked out. Jen, my hygienist looked at it and said to keep it clean. She put a topical ointment on it and cleaned it up a bit. It started to heal in two days and was fully healed before the permanent crown was placed on the tooth. I am happy to be a patient there and have been since the practice started many years ago. I have recommended this practice to a coworker and he still continues to go there after moving out of Northern VA. Our whole family has been happy with the cleanings and treatments we’ve been had there all these years. Jen rocks! Thanks you guys!

My son has been going to this practice for years now. This group is far more caring than his prior pediatric dentist. He is now an adult and is still thrilled with the practice. So much so that my husband and I recently switched over. Their primary concern is the patient and making sure that the process is thoroughly explained and totally comfortable. Great group!

I wouldn’t want to get my teeth cleaned anywhere else! Abby always does a fantastic job and makes me feel comfortable while cleaning my teeth. Also, Dr. Ruparelia and Dr. Hagert have always done an excellent job anytime I’ve come in for something else other than a cleaning. I highly recommend Cascades Dental to anyone!

I visited Dr. Ruparelia at Cascades Dental after dentistry and I had been on a break for several years. He and his staff immediately put me at ease and painlessly assessed my dental situation. He thoroughly and patiently explained my options including a cost benefit analysis of each one. I highly recommend Cascades Dental for anyone, especially those of us who haven’t been in a while.

Dr. Ruparelia and his team are the best! I moved to Falls Church and will continue to go to Cascades Dental in Sterling. I highly recommend them!

Hate the dentist? Me too! I had a few years of neglect when I came to their office. They have been so nice and have made me a compliant patient. Though I don’t look forward to the visits they do make it as nice as it possibly can be. I also appreciate the technology and new techniques they utilize. When work is extensive they don’t have the multiple visit issues, they have a lot of the equipment in house. Also comparing there cleanings to the ones friends get it seems there is much more focus on overall health and preventative measures. But without the guilt.

I love CCDH! Awesome team, they always make you feel like one of the family. The teamwork is flawless and the dental work is superior. If you are looking for quality dental care, look no farther.

I have been visiting the team at Cascades Center for Dental Health for approx. 3 years. My dental experience in the past has been somewhat nerve racking, however, now that I have found Cascades, my dental visits are very pleasant. From the minute I walk in the door, I feel like family. Everyone on the team is very accommodating and professional. They are able to answer every question I have had and are very honest. I wish that all of my family and friends could experience the service that is offered at Cascades! I will be a longtime patient, without a doubt.

I needed a new dentist and hygienist after moving to the area in May of 2011 and was referred here by a coworker. It was extremely easy to make an appointment for a hygiene visit. My first appointment was nothing shy of amazing — Jenny took the time to see what I was like as a person before she started cleaning my teeth. I met Dr. Ruparelia first, who reviewed my x-​rays, and later Dr. Hagert.
The staff here is incredibly kind and I’ve never felt more comfortable in a dental office. I went back a short while later to begin some much needed work on my teeth. One tooth, specifically, had decay that was very close to the nerve. Dr. R was able to remove all of the decay and they even created a personalized temporary for me while I was in the office (not one of those cheap, dingy gold things). After I went home and the numbing started wearing off, I started to feel some incredible nerve pain in the tooth — I called the office back and they immediately sent a couple of prescriptions to my pharmacy. I was back in the office the next morning for a root canal. After that and a full day at work, I came home to flowers waiting for me at my front door with a short «get well soon» note from the staff. That’s right — flowers from the dentist’s office.
Bottom line is that the high standard of care offered by Cascades Center for Dental Health is something you will not find anywhere else. The staff and doctors are nothing short of amazing and I trust them with my smile!

I had been going to them for years and while the staff is friendly, and the dental work is fine, the billing and payment will make you feel like you left a used car dealership.
After any exam or visit a long list of treatments would be presented with different prices. The upsell would begin. «That costs seems high» would be answered with «What are you able to pay?». Options were presented and numbers would be written, crossed off, written again. «I cant afford that» would be responded with «We offer different payment plans»
Final straw came when I went for a broken crown and they presented me $ 12,000 estimate of work. When I balked and said «No way –needs to be a lot less». We moved to fix just what was needed, they said they ran the numbers with my insurance (Cigna) and gave me a estimated of about $ 700 out of pocket. I paid it in full and got the work done. Weeks later they send me a bill for $ 419. No explanation. When I did speak with them they simply said «It was only a estimate» and «sorry –Nothing we can do».
In the end –If money is not a concern, they are fine. But if you have a budget and like to know what you will have to pay before the service is done, stay away.
