Reviews of Ideal Smiles Dentistry
Jaden Winchester
When I had a dentist emergency, the staff got me in the same day. We got the immediate concern handled, but I faced an odd schedule for follow up appointments. Not only did they work with me to get me in, but staff waited for me at the end of the day just to make sure I got the care I needed. Ideal Smiles has been a great business to work with for my needs. I'm so grateful for their patience and willingness to help me. I have already recommended them to my friends seeking a dentist because the in-house plan has helped me. These are great people that truly care.
Robert Labial
I've been to many dentist offices in my time, but I've never felt more at home then here. Everyone is kind and personal able. They have genuine concern for all their patients. I feel valued as a patient. Busy busling office ran efficiently and clean. Very professional staff that are dedicated to making your visit as positive a day at the dentist can be. Kudos Ideal Smiles! You have my 5 stars!

Audrey wayne coburn Shelby
I was an emergency first time patient. I was so impressed with how thorough the x-ray technician was and her patients. The hygienist was the same. Dr Zahir was very detailed , thorough. She explained with patients and a very detailed exam about what was going on. I will now be going back. This is my place for my Dental needs. The entire staff is confident with their educated knowledge and experience.
Very kind staff.
Brittani Wheeler
Best experience ever in a dental office. The front staff are very welcoming. The assistants are very knowledgeable and Dr Zahir listened to my concerns and we now have a great plan in place to fix my teeth! Highly recommended!
Vicky E.Q.
Jaime was AMAZING!!!!! She makes the entire experience so pleasant and comfortable. She answered all of my questions, she explained everything thoroughly, and she was so clear on next steps that I need to take. She gave me great advise on what I needed to change about my day to day routine for the best success. I would HIGHLY recommend her, and am incredibly blessed to have the chance to work with her today. 12 out of 10.
Stev Stamper
Awesome! The reception was very considerate understanding and the whole experience went above and beyond norm! The doc went well above normal! First time here under Emergency reason! Forthright! Brittani and Natalie were exceptional in every manor!
Holli Kephart
Very sweet and caring. They got me in the chair same day as I tried many places that did not. Currently sitting in the chair, they numb well! And we giggled at my droopy face. Very comfortable setting and great bedside manner.. and that means a lot to me having previous trauma with other dentists. So far this place seems great. Kaur and Tavis made sure I was always comfortable and ok. I trust them.
Stephen Vazquez
As a POC I wanted my dentist to be one also for my peace of mind. I went in not knowing what to expect and was blown away by the staff as a whole. From Florangel at the front desk, the dentist's assistant Divina, and the dentist herself, Dr. Zahir has an amazing, thoughtful team. They relieved my anxieties and gave me clear guidance. I can't wait to keep working with this team to get my dental health where it needs to be!
Christopher Holzheimer
My son had 2 of his baby teeth extracted today and the staff was very friendly and was able to counsel him on proper brushing technique.
Michael Briggs
Excellent staff. Excellent care.
I was a very pleased patient over two years ago, the last time I lived in the area. I recently returned to Virginia Beach and called to schedule an overdue cleaning. Not surprisingly the office was booked for approximately six weeks.
The gal handling scheduling was very helpful, suggesting I could possibly pick up on a canceled appointment. A short time later the same day, she called to tell me there was a cancellation for the following day, which I accepted.
Since it had been two years since my last visit they needed to do a re-work exam & x-rays, and weren't sure they could do the cleaning I wanted. After telling them my situation and in the midst of post Achilles surgery recovery, Taneisha was kind enough to use her lunch hour to do my cleaning!
Ideal Smiles also laid out timely follow up for me that fit my schedule....before I left the office. Their text message appointment is very convenient as well.
If this isn't accommodation and service, nothing is. Ideal Smiles is top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Vic Rich
Jamie is always so amazing and friendly! I always enjoy sitting in her chair. I've been coming here a couple years now and always have a great experience. 🤗 …
Marlon Brown
This place has a great staff and they get the job done. I’m terrified of the dentist but they do there best to keep me comfortable. Especially Alexis. She will definetely take care of you and always goes above and beyond.

My dental hygienist, Parwinder (Rose) Kaun, was awesome. She is very passionate about what she does and truly cares about making sure her patients get what they need to continue having a healthy smile 😃. Thanks for your hard work. The front office staff are very friendly as well. They are always smiling. Makes me feel good. …
Madi Cox
Janie was awesome! Friendly and relatable! Made my teeth feel so clean :)
Camilee Jackson
I have a fear of going to dentist as I had a dental trauma when I was a child. I needed an emergency appointment and found Ideal Smiles Dentistry online. They were able to get me in on the same day. Dr. Zahir provided me with all of my options for the treatment and got my procedure done on the same day. I'm so happy and thrilled the whole time as I did not feel any pain during the procedure and felt very comfortable. Thank goodness, they accept my dental insurance. I highly recommend Dr. Zahir & Ideal Smiles Dentistry. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. I found my Dentist and would highly recommend this office. I wanted to give 10 stars if I could. Thank you Thank you Thank you!
chandan Patel
I had the best experience today for my tooth extraction with Dr. Zahir. I was very nervous. The dr. was excellent in explaining clearly the problem and how it has to be treated.
I would definitely recommend this office to everyone. This place provides the best dental care !!! Thanks again
Woods Family Outdoors
I’m super proud that I found ideal smiles, Dr. Zahir is great with both of my children whom are 5 & 3 years old. The dentist was very patient with me and the root canal therapy went very well. I will continue to use ideal smiles as long as the service remain the same or continue to grow.
Rachel (Rachel)
I truly feel blessed to have been referred here! Mildred is always so kind, warm and welcoming when I arrive and is ready and willing to help answer any questions I might have. Susan was my hygienist who was welcoming and compassionate, as well as extremely knowledgeable. I always receive wonderful care and when I leave I feel assured in my dental treatment. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ thank you for what you do! It is wonderful to feel confident and well cared for by such a competent and caring group of healthcare professionals!
Harvey Butner
BY far the absolute best Dentist I have ever been to. Professional treatment, professional staff, clean environment and a Dentist who truly has passion for her work and her staff. The entire experience from start to finish was 10 STAR. Moving forward she will be my families only Dentist. Thank you so much for everything, words can not express my thanks enough. HB
Penny Stamper
They went above and beyond. I had a cracked tooth and they took me in and pulled the tooth on a Friday so I wouldn't suffer over the weekend. Very friendly and helpful
Dania Gocheva
I appreciated the dentist care and nurture from Dr. Zahir and her staff. When I needed a dental procedure, Dr. Zahir gave me advice on what works best for me and my situation. On the day of surgery, her assistant was very through about what was going on and what the next steps would be. Marylynn prepared my documents and explained to me the what my coverages were. Overall, I am very satisfied with Dr. Zahir and her associates in my time of need!
Thank you so much!!!!
Jeannie Irish
My husband I have been coming here for the past 6 months and we love it! Within the past few weeks my husband has had an emergency wisdom teeth removal and build up and crown work. He's also getting 2 more wisdom teeth out Friday. I went in today for a root canal and I was super nervous but Dr. Rivera is amazing and has GREAT bedside manner. He made me feel comfortable and at ease. I loved my experience and want him to be my dentist forever.
Joseph Ford
Kiyah and Dr.Zahir were AMAZING!! This is the biggest procedure I’ve had and they made it painless and enjoyable(minus the first shot lol). They were super personable and explained everything as they worked. This will be my new dentist. Thanks to Ideal Smiles and the talented staff!

Dr.Zahir is a skillful, polite and friendly dentist. She listens to all of your concerns and explains everything very patiently.
The office staff and the front desk is welcoming and I didn’t have any waiting at all !
They are so good at what they do !
I highly recommend Ideal Smiles for dental check up!!!
Abbe Torres
Tonesia was amazing! My daughter was very happy with her demeanor and service!!
Nikki Lehmkuhl
I have been to many dentists looking for the perfect one!
At ideal smiles, everyone is very friendly and greets everyone generously! They are great with being seen quickly and appointments are never too far apart!
I have had 2 root canals, an extract, and probably 8 cavities filled in the last month.. YIKES! Dr. Zahir is very professional but also very sweet and attentive to her work, and her patients! All of the dental hygienists and assistance’s working with her are wonderful! I would not go anywhere else for my dental work, and I highly recommend this dentist office!
Earis Hubahib
I just moved to the area and wanted to find a great dental office. I found this online with great reviews. Everyone is nice and polite, very accommodating. I came in and had xrays and checkup, also got a dental cleaning and crown next. Susan did my cleaning and she was awesome! Dr. Miranda Lee did my crown and was able to answer everything I asked, was patient and nice, she also kept asking me if im okay throughout the procedure. I definitely recommend this place for their professionalism and knowledgeable dentists! :)
Ms. Williams
BEST DENTAL EXPERIANCE EVER!
I'm a first time patient who called last week with a toothache. They were able to see me within 24 hours when other dental offices had a 3-5 day wait even for emergencies. From the initial call to the friendly and informative hygienists this was an amazing dental experience. As someone who is fearful of dental procedures I was immediately put at ease by every member of the staff here. Dr. Zahir was professional, patient, caring and sensitive to my fears of dental procedures. During my extraction, she took the time to talk me through the procedure and reassured me which resolved my fears. Also, I didn't feel anything during my extraction! She had to tell me the tooth was out!. If you're looking for a beautiful office, caring and compassionate staff and an amazing dentist...look no further. This is the place you want to visit! They are AMAZING!!!
Asmath Mohammed
By far the best dentist I’ve been to!!! Staff and Dr are very professional, helpful and accommodating. They take their time and do everything with care. Provide excellent service, not just the bare minimum. I strongly advise everyone to go to Ideal Smiles. They are the best.
Annette Rehana
Ideal Smile’s team is friendly and professional, I feel they are on top of my family’s dental needs to prevent and fix our dental problems.
markala walker
My 2 kids and I had our first visit to Ideal Smiles a few days ago and I was thoroughly impressed. Everyone was so warm and welcoming and treated you like family. They made my kids feel comfortable while they were having their cleanings done. My son was a little nervous, but Julie took such good care of him and took her time to make him feel calm and comfortable. I can't remember the name of my hygienist off the top of my head but she was absolutely wonderful. She made me laugh, and it was refreshing to be at a place that makes you feel no pressure or judgment.
Dr. Zahir was so friendly and straightforward on letting you know about your oral health and what she can do to help you. I like that she will actually show you what's going on with your teeth so you can visually see what problem areas she notices.
Overall I am extremely pleased and the fact that we are a military family and they are one of the few offices that accepts our insurance because they believe that we shouldn't suffer because of insurance problems, is absolutely wonderful. We have finally found a dentist we love.
Stephani Hannahs
I broke a tooth on a Friday night, DR. Shabana Zahir made space to see me on a busy Saturday morning. She has done an outstanding job of taking care of me and my families oral care ever since. They work wonderfully with anyone with special needs. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Before anything is done they discuss a care plan and are up front with cost showing with and without insurance total care amounts.
Dawn Petroziello
Dr. Z and her entire staff were warm, professional and very competent! Clean and modern office in a great location too. I felt that I received fantastic care and they didn't try to sell me more procedures than I felt were needed like my previous dentist. Dr. Z was very thorough and explained everything. Wish I wasn't transferring soon. Finding a great dentist can be hard. Keep up the great work guys.

Like most of us the dentist is something we do not like and for me especially it causes high stress and anxiety. After not coming for a long time (due to my own nerves) I came in this morning to have my permanent retainer looked at. It had been put in by a dentist in a different state and it had been causing me a lot of discomfort.
This practice got me in within a day for an appointment and overall is filled with a friendly staff. I can’t remember the name of the girl that brought me back but she was very very sweet. I told her I was nervous and she helped calm me down and explained the things that would happen as to ease my nerves. She also did a great job at pointing out things that I needed to work on, dental hygiene wise, without making me feel embarrassed about it.
At first we were just going to file down a side of my retainer and schedule me a different day to have it removed and get my impressions done for a plastic retainer but they actually were able to just get it all done today which was such a relief. I’m sure they weren’t planning on spending that much time with me but they did anyways 🥺
I was comfortable the whole time, the doctor kept calling me “hun” which just helped calm me down more during the process.
If you’re scared of the dentist, especially after not going for a long time, then this place is where you should go. So many benefits to going here over anywhere else. They’re up front about cost, super friendly staff, and they really do care about their clients.
Victoria Kearney
After not having been to the dentist in a number of years, I was extremely nervous and worried about my upcoming appointment. From the moment I scheduled my appointment, to the actual dental procedures being done, Ideal Smiles' entire staff has been absolutely wonderful. I was comfortable throughout my procedures, and kept informed about what needed to be done every step of the way. I was even entertained during my appointment! I needed to have quite a bit of work done and Dr. Zahir has been awesome. My entire family uses Ideal Smiles and we couldn't be more pleased. If I moved out of this area, I can honestly say, I would still make the trip just to have any future check ups and work done at Ideal Smiles. That's how awesome they are!
Carrie Sowell
I started going to Ideal Smiles about a year and a half ago. I was nervous because I have not had many positive experiences with a lot of the dentist offices in the area. Each visit with Dr. Zahir and her staff has been nothing but pleasant. The minute that I walked into the door they all greeted me by name which made me feel very comfortable. My hygienist is fantastic. During my cleaning she would always explain too me what procedure I was going to have. During the procedure she would stop and ask me if I was having any discomfort. When I had to have a few teeth extracted. Dr. Zahir did not beat around the bush with me. she was very honest and upfront about the teeth that I had to have taken out. I was very pleased that she sat down with me and showed me my x-rays so that I can see why and what she will be doing. Her office is very clean and very welcoming. When my procedure was done she walked me to the front desk so that I can check out. Her front desk team is awesome. I have recommended a lot of my family and friends to Ideal Smiles.
Kirstie Robinson
The staff here and Dr. Zahir are all both warm, friendly, and professional. I love their dental hygienistsvery personable and they do a great job! Their scheduling process is very easy and I never have a long wait when I am there.
Racheal Stackpole
I began treatment here while I was pregnant with my son last year. I had to have 2 root canals done during that time. Doc was wonderful and so was all her staff. I wouldn't have thought to take my son anywhere else for his very first trip to the dentist. They were very sweet and made him comfortable. I couldn't ask for a better dental practice. Love them!
Angela Heideman
Dr. Z and Travis were very helpful and super friendly and nice! Highly recommend!!
Megan Greenway
Just moved here from Idaho 2 months ago due to husband PCS and needed to find a dentist. From the moment I walked into the door the staff was friendly and professional. My old dentist in Idaho obviously wasn’t doing his job correctly because I had cavities and one that was getting really bad. She saw me same day for my fillings and it was so nice! She is such a nice dentist and I felt like even though she was busy she still made time for me and explained everything to me and answered any of my questions.
Allison Miller
The best customer service I’ve ever experienced!!!
They were so quick on treating my failed root canal. What would take weeks to get checked on by other dentist, idea smiles was fast on treating me. They have the best and most caring staff that make you feel like family. I definitely will be keeping her as my dentist from now on ❤️
Ryan Saul
Dr. Z is incredible! She is easily the most exceptional dentist I have seen. Her professionalism and skill of care are on a different level than most. With each appointment, I am 100% confident that I am receiving excellent care. Additionally, she and her staff take the time to explain details and keep me informed. I would recommend Dr. Zahir and her team in the highest way.
Kitty
Dr. Zahir is very friendly and knowledgeable. She taught me something new about the deep pockets around the teeth. Ashley and Alyssa are sweethearts, gentle, and very kind. They are genuine and one of the most down-to-earth persons you will ever meet. The staffs at the front desk are super funny! Everyone remembers my name in one visit, and they always give me sincere smiles. :)
The place itself is super nice. They have TVs, magazines, etc.
I have had wonderful times on my visits. What I like most about this place is simply the fact that they interacted with me, while they were cleaning my teeth. I highly recommend and encourage this place for anyone, who is looking forward to have enjoyable conversations and great experiences with staffs.
zainab javaid
I've ALWAYS been terrified of going to a dentist, but i think i’m pretty comfortable after today’s visit. DR Zahir is AMAZING. I was comfortable the whole time, everything is clean and they make sure you have a great experience. She always made sure I was okay. This place is very professional and clean. I am so grateful for her and her staff, they were so kind and helpful. The level of care, sanitation, and safety during this time is commendable. I appreciate how seriously they are taking their precautions to keep everyone safe ! Definitely coming back and recommending to go see Dr Zahir 💯
Stefanie Craig
Every staff member at this office was friendly, kind, and helpful! It was the best service and dental cleaning I have ever had. The dentist gave me great information and suggestions for improvements which made my experience actually enjoyable (I don't say that too often about a teeth cleaning). The office staff was great as well! I would highly recommend this dental office.
Kimberly Williams
The best dental experience I've ever had! Going to the dentist can be frightening, but Dr.Z and her staff did an amazing job. I needed a lot of work done, and I mean a lot! They got me in right away and worked with me between visits to get my dental needs done during my pregnancy. The office is very clean and comfortable. Her entire staff is very friendly, funny, and everyone gets along. Dr.Z is firm about what needs to be done and preventative care. She is passionate about what she does and teaching her staff as well!
VENUS
I want to say that Dr Schneider, Kiyah and Tavis are all amazing the absolute best care especially if your as nervous as i am when you see a white coat lol.. Please go visit them they will take your mind off of anything with their patience and kindness and they actually care about you!!!
Starnisha reed
The best dentist office! They are very detailed in all aspects of there work. They are on time, efficient once in the room yet ensures to be very thorough when having any procedure. Everyone greets you with a smile no matter what area you are in and that's hard to find in any place nowadays. You have to love what you do! They are worth traveling to :-)
Amanda Champion
No words can describe my experience that I have with this dentist office! The staff is super friendly and the Dr is even friendlier! They make every appointment pleasant (considering)! I can't even put into words how thankful I am for them and all the effort they are putting into making sure I get my smile back!
Toyin O
Service Quality: The clinic is new, staff was very professional and nice. Dr. Zahir was so nice and willing to listen. I was pleased with the service and they even made room to fit my schedule! What clinic does that these days? They open on Saturdays and stay late on some weekdays till 7pm.
Convenience: I am a working professional and I cant afford to take sick days every time I need to get my teeth or eyes checked :) The location is fantastic if you live in Virginia Beach or Norfolk area. Close to the town center area.
Cost: Compared to other facilities, the services are affordable. I know this because I compared quotes :)
Jenice Coffey
OMG! She is great! Her staff is friendly and they explain every thing as they go along. I took my family of four and all needed different care. My 11 yr old was terrified by previous dental work done somewhere else but there...he went by himself and all! My 23 yr old says she wants them to do a complete treatment plan. And my fiance' (who is terrified of dentists) actually was going just for the consult but stayed in the chair hoping to get more done but they had to explain he need another visit for that!!! He immediately made an appointment to come back! I wish I could write a review. I am sending a thank you card.
Ashley Boullt
I love the experience I have every time I visit Ideal Smiles. I just went into the office with my daughter, and I was extremely pleased with all of the precautions that were in place in response to Covid-19. Everyone was wearing a mask, it is extremely clean, and the Dentist and her assistant had special masks that they were using (along with special air filters) during our visit. Upon arrival, our temperatures were taken and sanitizer was provided in every room. I am glad that they are open and making sure that the staff and patients are safe. Thank you, Ideal Smiles!

I went to Dr. Zahir Dentistry office for the first time on last Saturday (07/19/2014), it was almost noon, and my first impression was really good because my name was called to enter her office right on time, this is not what happens everywhere. Then, the lady who starts checking you up (assistant) was very nice and polite, making sure that I was comfortable and preparing to the upcoming exam with the doctor. She also made my X rays very carefully. When Dr. Zahir came, she also was very nice and polite, shacked my hand firmly and started talking to me looking me in the eyes. These are for me, a native from Brazil, very important sign, it shows confidence and honesty. After all her work on my evaluation, I can tell that she is really everything good that people write here, so believe it: this is an excellent dentist office with professional people who is there to do their job not forgetting that we patients are human being, not just numbers. She does explain very carefully all the problems, little by little, and she helps you to understand what you really need to have done in short, medium and long term, so one can plan ahead, in case of the insurance company doesn't cover the procedure or if you even have it. I truly believe that my choice (a woman dentist) was the best I could make, she is everything that you want in a doctor and expect from a woman: detail oriented, perfectionist, hard worker (even Saturdays!) and concerned about what you feel, what you need. I intent to start my treatment ASAP and have no doubt to bring my children to be her patients too.
Ashley M!
I recently started going to ideal smiles & I absolutely love it there. The office is so clean and bright. All of the employees are great especially Kristen & Dr.Zahir. I had a wisdom tooth pulled by Dr.Zahir with minimal to no pain & I just recently got the most thorough teeth cleaning I’ve ever had! I’d recommend them to anyone!
Becca Bergman
Both myself and my husband are patients at Ideal Smiles Dentistry. In addition to receiving excellent dental care, we are always greeted by the helpful and friendly front desk staff, and each hygienist we have had takes such good care of us. Dr. Zahir is very thorough in her care and we both have better smiles because of her and her team! I would highly recommend this practice.
Rachael Rancourt
First of all, I hate going to the dentist. HOWEVER, I have never had a better experience with dentists than I have with Ideal Smiles. Dr. Zahir is by far the most INCREDIBLE person I have ever seen. The entire staff actually takes the time to explain everything to you, they make your comfort a priority. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Zahir and her amazing staff to anyone.
Shandra Weaver
Fantastic! I am very happy with my decision to go to Ideal Smiles for dental treatment. Dr Z was wonderful. She taught me how to floss properly and actually did my first cleaning. When I returned for a deep cleaning the dental hygienist was great. She taught me about my teeth - you think after almost 30 years of going to the dentist I would know the things she was telling me, but the truth is no other dentist office has taken the time to explain how to really take care of your teeth, both Dr Z and the hygienist (who I'm sorry I can't remember her name) were very passionate about dental health. I returned a third time for a long procedure (2.5 hrs) and my comfort was the number one priority the whole time, even if that meant the Dr having to take a little extra time with me.
Highly Highly Recommended.
Ashley Dozier
UPDATE: After being made aware of the situation, Dr. Zahir contacted me directly. She apologized on behalf of her office and contacted me then on, resolving the situation immediately. The lack of communication was the biggest concern I had. So her following up and following through with what she said she was going to do was a huge turnaround from my impression I had of this office. I truly appreciate the time and attention she took to the situation after given notice.
Wish I could leave zero stars. If you have two or more insurances stay FAR AWAY from this office. I’ve NEVER paid this much money to a dentist office with having one insurance. I have two insurances and have come out the pocket much more money. I was told that once my insurance approves my claims, I’ll get my money back. A month or two later I noticed one of the highest amounts I paid had been rejected. I called the insurance to ask why. Clerical error on Ideal Smiles part, so I called them to let them know. Interesting that I caught it and they didn’t, but of course not, all my work had been paid in full out of my pocket, nonetheless they reran the claim, it’s approved. One, two months of them getting paid from my insurances, no call whatsoever. Ideal Smiles can’t be bothered to call you or return calls for that matter, but pressed me to come back to back to back to issue money at EVERY single appointment, not to mention wanting me to come in even after I told them I was experiencing COVID symptoms. I’ve never been in contact with insurance companies as I have dealing with Ideal Smiles. Called last week, I was told by Erica “oh, you have a refund that’s owed”. You don’t say! How long you guys been sitting on that and when was someone going to call me to let me know to pick up my check? Was then told that someone would call later that day to verify the amount that was owed to me. Later that day came and went, so did a week later, still no call back. I call them back, asking again where is my refund. “No one is here to issue my refund”. I said what happened to someone calling me back last week? The receptionist at the desk says that last week they went on vacation???!!! So, when is that my problem and where is my money? Now, the total they owe has went down. Now, they need to call me back AGAIN. I won’t hold my breath. Won’t be returning after getting my refund. This is by far the worst dental experience. This office wants you to pay everything up front having multiple insurances, fine, I’m all for quality work, so reading the reviews, I believed that’s what I was going to get. But once you get paid, give me back my money. This has gone on since January, we’re now over half way in June, going on July, and once again, I had to call them to get the resolve I’m at now with them. This office doesn’t work hard enough to give back what you’re rightfully owed for me. Rather you have money to spend or not, you want your hard earned money that you worked for back in its rightful place.
Camilo Ruiz
This is by far the best dental office I've been to! I've been going there for 2 years now. Dr. Zahir is very gentle and professional! The whole staff is super friendly and they make you feel comfortable during your whole visit! They even have tv's in each room for your own convenience! Very clean office and nicely organized. I highly recommend Ideal Smiles Dentistry to all my family and friends.
Alesha Branch
Sent an appointment request online and received a call back almost immediately. We were also given an appointment the same day. They have a lovely office, friendly and helpful staff and a very quick and thorough dentist. My daughter was in no pain as she received treatment. They more than took care of her dental needs. They exceeded my expectations. Very pleased, happy to go back and excited to recommend to others. Thank you!
Sid .Kasrabda
I am 37 and this is my first dentist visit. I took my 3 and 5 year olds kids as well. We all had our cleaning done and absolutely loved the service. Dr. Zahir and her assistant Brit were very friendly with the kids and the kids thoroughly enjoyed their cleaning without any apprehension. They explained each and every procedure in great detail. Danielle from front desk was very courteous in scheduling the appointments and explaining our insurance benefits and expenses. The same day I scheduled my wife’s appointment as well. I returned back for my root canal and crown, and my wife is going back for an extraction. True to their motto Dr. Zahir’s team loved to see us smile. We would definitely recommend Ideal Smiles to all our friends. We wish Dr. Zahir and her team a whole hearted success.
(I will be going back again soon - see what happens if you don't go to a dentist in over 35 years)

Absolutely amazing!!!!!!! I being a business owner myself am always on lookout for how another great company does business weird right? Stay with me and I'll explain as I was gripped in horrible pain all through the night Jan 24 2017 I was looking for any remedy from homeopathic to voodoo for all I cared! Point is I researched everything and emergency dentist services came up and I found my miracle. I noticed hours of office thought well a couple more hours and just maybe, fingers crossed I put in for an online appointment saying asap assuming nothing; never have I ever been so glad to be wrong! They called me promptly at opening and I was in door 30 minutes later I can't make this up! I felt like an ice pick was in my tooth working it's way up to my brain! They took time to listen to me, addressed my concerns and could have charged me anything and I would have agreed! The most astonishing part was the very reasonable cost of my surgical extraction, the sincere concern the Dr and her entire staff showed and they kept apologizing to me for any delay, irony being at my former regular dentist everything would have taken longer with a prearranged appointment long in place. Anyways I could go on and on but do yourself a favor and go see Ideal Smiles Dentistry and you will get a whole new perspective on dentists!!!!!! Ty again everyone!!!!!!

I have been going to this dentist since last year July, and from the moment I walked in I felt at peace and when I met Dr. Shabana Zahir I felt the the passion she has for her job. Today was a big day for my smile and although we are not done with our work, I am in love with the outcome. I have never had a bad experience with any of the staff they are so loving and understanding and really strive to make you feel comfortable. There were a few times where I did have to wait a little longer then normal when it got busy but I would never walk away or complain because the work they do and the service you will receive is totally worth it. Dr. Zahir is a perfectionist and I love that I would absolutely recommend her and her office. I will definitely be going back to complete my work.

Thanks to ideal smiles I can breath easy again. Everyone was pleasant , Kind and overall professional. I was fearful of a tooth extraction for a while but with patience and care they got me to a calm mindset. The tooth extraction went exceptional thanks to Dr Z and her very knowledgeable assistant dentist. I’m so appreciative of their work! I recommend surely recommend their office 😁👍🏾✨
wander bailey
This is one of the best dentist in the Tidewater area. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. I went in for a extraction so I was a little scared but the dentist was so very nice and gentle that I didn't feel a thing. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a excellent nice and caring dentist.
Catherine williams
My experience at Ideal Smiles has been exceptional. I spoke with Elaine by phone weeks ago and explained that I had three children that had insurance that I was in danger of losing. She got them in within days and then the additional work that needed done..she again made sure they were seen. I walked in and the staff at the front desk was very kind and friendly and I came to see a very nice comraderie within the staff. I LOVE to see this. We have now have seen every hygienist but one and they have been wonderful too! Friendly..fun even! Dr Zahir has a great group! I am very appreciative of Dr. Zahir..fitting in all the work for my children and seeing that they got the care they needed! Hard working lady! Very caring dentist and staff!
Priscilla
I have had multiple visits at Ideal Smiles Dentistry. Each visit with Dr. Zahir and her team have been very pleasant. If I had any questions, concerns, discomforts or comments the team was ready and willing to provide any adjustments needed and answer any questions. With being pregnant I was very concerned about getting a root canal, a few fillings and two extractions done. However, Dr. Zahir made me feel at ease with all procedures and did everything in a timely manner. I will definitely be recommending Ideal Smiles Dentistry to all my friends and family.
Ejaniya Goodwin
The best dentist I've been to. Always a quick and informative process. I actually went in for an x-ray of my wisdom teeth that had been bothering me and she made time to pull the tooth for me right then! Was in and out in about an hour!
Everyone here is very friendly and I never have an issue getting an appointment with my schedule! They even work on Saturday's, gotta love it!
E. Britt
After finally getting over my fears of re-visiting the dentist, I was lucky to have found such a comfortable location to go. The staff was very comforting and took the time to inform me of any procedures and answer any questions that I had. Their professionalism and courtesy has me looking forward to my dental health future.
B Johnson
I was in Virginia Beach for a family vacation when I had a dental emergency. Dr. Zahir made time in her schedule on a Saturday to see me. She and her assistant were very professional. They showed genuine concern for me and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Zahir took her time and was able to fix my broken tooth. I would highly recommend Dr. Zahir to those looking for a dentist in Virginia Beach.
Morning Star
Ideal smile has exceptional people on staff everyone is friendly, professional, and informative! I entered and left feeling the future of my smile is in quality hands. I look forward to my next visit.
Mechelle Smith
Dr. Shabana is amazing! She made me feel so comfortable while I was getting fillings! I could not imagine a treatment like that being relaxing and pleasant! And I can't forget about the friendly staff especially the front desk team! Thank you all for always treating me so wonderfully!

So last Friday which was Valentine's day... I know right who schedules a dentist appointment to pull their primary molar out on Valentine's day!? Lol! Yes I did! I really didn't have a choice. It was either to keep walking around with half a tooth in my mouth or find a dentist that was able to extract my dying tooth for me.
I called sooooo many offices. One after the other stated that they were not accepting new patients. Then a couple of them told me that I need a referral to see them... It was so draining. Then one office was willing to see me but when I went there it was so unprofessional and I left with half a tooth in my mouth. That's another long story.... But let's get back to what I was saying.... Lol!
I was exhausted and needed to find someone that was the BEST to help me. So I went on Google of course! I searched, and searched then WALA!!!! (I think that's a word....) I found Ideal Smiles Dentistry! I left my information online for someone to contact me to schedule an appointment since it was late in the night. They did call me the next day and scheduled an appointment with me. They did not give me a difficult time like the other dental offices in the area.
I got their bright and early on Valentine's day to get my tooth extracted. Everyone was so friendly, very professional, and well organized. I mean everyone was just awesome from the front desk staff, to the dental assistants, the hygienist, and of course Dr. Zahir was the icing on the cake!
They helped calm me down too. Cause yes adults do get nervous at dental appointments. Not just kids. Lol! They explained to me the procedure. The after care and etc. They listened to my other experiences on this journey of finding a dentist that was willing to help me.
This office is by far one of the BEST dental offices in Hampton Roads! BEST!!!! If you want a dental office that is patient, well organized, and are AWESOME at what they do and actually loves what they do! This is the place to come too for your dental needs!
Christine Sylvester
I was a patient a very large dental practice in town and had a bad experience. It was very impersonal and they tried to sell me dental guards at night when I know I don't grind my teeth! (the funny thing is they tried to sell the same guard to my husband too on a separate visit). So this time I decided to try a new practice. I saw the reviews for Ideal Smiles and thought I'd give it a try...so glad I did. The office itself is small and BEAUTIFULLY decorated. The employees were friendly and professional. They offered to get my x-rays from the previous practice and I was able to do all my paperwork online. Love that! Dr. Zahir did the majority of my first appointment and I left with my teeth feeling fantastic. She was able to remove some stains I didn't think could be removed and talked me through every step. I was very happy with the service and the convenient hours. I'll be back! Thanks Dr. Zahir!
chrissy2314
I am completely satisfied with this dental establishment like I never have been before. Dr. Zahir and her team are professional and have never once made me feel like I'm being rushed through as I have at other dental offices. The dental assistants that have worked on me have been kind, and very knowledgeable. The only name I've managed to keep in mind is Elaine. Whenever I call I'm hoping to be assisted by her! The front staff is smiling and welcoming. They haven't made me feel like a nuisance (came late twice and was still seen right away)
Definitely worth the five star rating. I'd easily recommend here to anyone who asked me for a good dentist in the va beach area
Demiah Nolan
I absolutely love Ideal Smiles! Dr. Shabana Zahir is amazing. She is very patient and keeps me and my children well informed with the process as she works which makes me very comfortable. The staff is very professional and always very kind! My favorite is Mrs. Joyce. She always goes above and beyond in everything that she does! I highly recommend Ideal Smiles for your family dentistry!
Tiana Burton
My Experience at this wonderful dentistry has been impeccable! The staff are very friendly and professional from the front of the office to the back very great service and such a welcoming environment! Dr.Zahir is absolutely wonderful very kind and studious when it comes to her work. I will continue to come back! Definitely 5 star service!
Kelly Phillips
Dr. Zahir and her staff is amazing! She is incredibly gentle and very patient! I was very impressed how quickly they got me in being a new patient that needed a cleaning, X-rays, and fillings. She is also open every other Saturday which really helps people that normally can't make their appointments during the week. If you are currently looking for a dentist you will not go wrong with Dr. Zahir and staff!!!
Alicia Ober
I Absolutely love them! All of the staff make you very comfortable and treat patients like family. Dr. Shabana Zahir is one of the most compassionate people I have ever met! Her priority is to make sure her patients are out of pain and comfortable!!!! I was in pain and left a message at 9pm, she returned my call not even an hr later and scheduled me an appointment for the next morning. I have medicaid and had no idea what was covered. I thought I was going to have most of my teeth pulled, Ms Joyce worked miracles with my insurance and saved all my teeth!!! I took my five year old to other dentist office, nobody would help her because of her fear of needles. Dr. Zahir took her time and with her loving personality made my daughter comfortable. She was able to do her dental work without putting her to sleep. I recommend this office to everyone!!!
Doris Knight-Bingham
I must say this is one of the best dental experiences that I've ever had. The whole experience from making the appointment, coming into the office to the pleasant personalities of the staff and meeting Dr. Zahir . Every process was explained step by step as she proceeded. Thank you so much for the exceptional job and making me feel comfortable through it all.
Katherine baker
Very clean, professional. The ladies were very nice and made sure to make me feel comfortable. I went on a saturday, their busiest day, but was seen right on time. I hadn't been to the dentist in years, so even though I was nervous, they were very good to me, and not judgemental. I did not spend a lot of time with the main Dr., but she was precise and to the point. Efficient. I will be returning to have my tooth pulled and I am glad I will be going there to do. My insurance doesn't cover much, but their prices are reasonable, and it is worth paying for the proper care and people who want to ensure your comfort and least amount of pain. Thanks ladies!
IJ James
Long review summed up, amazing experience thoroughly felt safe going in right now! Thanks Dr Zahir and staff!
I shared my experience with Dr Zahir here and on the Cedar Road Dental page as I genuinely appreciate what her team has done to help during this pandemic.
-
I cracked a tooth at the beginning of this whole lock down thing. I had an appointment with my dentist for a cleaning the next week, but they canceled it and told me to call back when it gets painful. I get it. It's hard to see patience, but tooth infections are actually very dangerous. I babied the tooth, and then three weeks later pain started. I wasn't going to wait any longer and I googled for dentists. I found Dr Zahir / Cedar Road Dentist / Ideal Smiles.
The website was insanely helpful. I filled everything out, and got a call back (something unheard of from my experience in the area - normally doing anything online results in becoming last priority).
I was scheduled as soon as possible for an exam at the Ideal Smiles location in Virginia Beach. I was called before-hand and told about expectations for COVID-19 safety. I went in about 20 minutes early in my mask. I was handed a sanitized pen, and clipboard with the paperwork. I filled everything out and even my copy of ID etc was handed back to me sanitized and cleaned.
I have honestly never encountered a thoroughly clean and sanitized waiting space. And even better - the office staff was so kind and polite. They were understanding of my situation, and worked with me during some pretty severe special circumstances.
The hygienist who was helping and Dr Zahir came in with full PPE gear on, and I am so grateful to them for being so thoroughly careful. There was never a time I felt at risk.
I left with a referral for an endodontist, and instruction to follow up asap for a crown.
My experience with endodontist was satisfactory, but definitely held no candle to the care and disease prevention Dr Zahir and her team uphold.
I went back today for my crown. This time at the Cedar Road location, and again the level of care, sanitation, and safety during this time is commendable. I appreciate how seriously they are taking this situation as my son is immunocompromised.
As for the dental care, she was thorough and kind and patient. The work was on a far back tooth, and it was at an odd angle. Dr Zahir was super patient and explained thoroughly what was going on for me. I struggled quite a bit with my own anxiety around dental work, but she was so patient and careful and kind. I genuinely appreciate her professionalism.
Jared Schimizzi
This dentist office got me in on a Monday with no appointment, when I was in serious pain from a bad tooth. All the girls helping me up to the actual dentist coming in were awesome, we held conversation and they really made me feel comfortable. The dentist is a really nice lady, she was very professional and explained everything to me in great detail. Thank you guys again!!
Faith Luna
I needed an emergency dentist for a swollen gum and was not a patient there. They said if I came right then they would see me. From the time I called until I left their office was a total of 1 hour an 45 minutes, including the 40 minute drive total! The office is very professional and extremely nice. Especially Jessica at front desk and Julie, Dr Sahir's assistant!
Sha'Toya Branch
Julie is the bomb. She made me feel so comfortable during my entire procedure. Dr. Zahir is always amazing and patient. They both have helped with my fear of going to the dentist. They are hilarious as well and conversation was definitely hilarious. Love them both.
Breonah Thayer
Everyone was/is absolutely amazing here. Had a really bad abscess from a bad tooth (while pregnant yikes) and they got me in the very next day to check it out, start me on meds, and even perform the root canal which was done just out of kindness bc it was not planned. Amazing service from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave. I was super nervous and everyone was patient, kind, and very understanding the entire time. Never thought I’d say this but I’m actually excited for my next appt!
Stephanie R.
The staff is super friendly and Dr. Shabana Zahir is lovely. I've had multiple teeth filled and 2 cleaning after over 10 years of being scared to see the dentist. Best dentist I've ever been to. She is fast, friendly and very patient. I have super sensative teeth and she always made sure I was ok during my visits. She will show you her work and explain what was done and answers any questions you have. 10 out of 10.
Terrell Pridgen
Dr. Zahir and her staff are the best in town. She and her staff were polite, proffessional and caring to my needs. I went in with a tooth that cause me sooooo much pain and Dr. Zahir relieved me of the pain. I were usually skeptical and tense about going to the dentist, but they removed it WITH NO PAIN!!!!......This is definitely my 1 and only place to go for my dental needs. GREAT JOB GUYS!!!
Autumn Wilson
I Never take the time to write reviews, but Ideal Smiles most Definitely deserved my time to write one!!! I recently gave birth to my second little boy :) and dental insurance runs out 2months after you give birth. Due to my circumstances at the time, I ended up only having a month left before the dental part of my insurance ran out and I would not be able to get the couple of root canals I so desperately needed. (One of the broken teeth is right in front and in my line of work in the service industry, it's imparative that I got this fixed!) So the staff here at Ideal Smiles Literally went above and beyond, mainly the Office Coordinator Joyce Davis! She pulled Every string humanly possible to Make Sure that my insurance paid for my crowns because without insurance paying for it, the cost is $1,285 a tooth!!! Which there's No way i could afford between two kids, just having my son so therefore currently unemployed etc... Now on top of that, the most Amazing offer/gesture that I have Ever seen or even heard of, is when I needed to get started ASAP and have the root canals That day, and I was unable to stay because I didn't have anyone to watch my kids for me, Ms. Joyce Davis told me to go home and get my 4year old and 6week old boys and bring them to the office and she'd watch them for me while I had my work done!!!! That blew my mind that she cared That much to make sure I was able to get my root canals done and paid for by my insurance benefits, that she was willing and Happy to watch my kids for me!!!! And this was all on my 1st visit!!! Unbelievable. The rest of the staff is just as warm and friendly :) and the doctors are just fantastic! :):) So, all that, and Ms. Joyce Davis is why i felt compelled to write a feedback for the 1st time!
Ronald Alba
Dr. Shabana is like, the best dentist in the whole entire world. I’ve never really had a conversation with my dentist and hygienists in the past, but those days are long gone! Dr. Shabana and staff are amazing people to deal with. I am aware that cleaning teeth can be expensive; however, Dr. Shabana’s office makes the air and sleep diet for that pay period so much more delicious! Highly recommend. I never leave there upset and/or confused.
RWC Admin
Dr. Z was amazing. My husband has not been able to chew gum in 6 years. It took him 6 years to go to the dentist. He had fear of going to the dentist. But Dr. Z really educated him and made him feel better. She literally helped remove fears. We loved how she took her time to teach him before she worked on him. Her staff was very friendly and the office was very clean. Thank you. We totally recommend this place!!!
katie belanger
This place was amazing. Five stars! If i could do more i would, It was so clean. Having my wisdom tooth abstracted was painless and quick. I felt very comfortable during the procedure despite how scared I was. I was scared for no reason. The staff was all super friendly and inviting. I've been looking for a dentist for myself and family. Im so happy we found ideal smiles dentistry.
Jim Craft
This is the best dental practice in Virginia Beach. I’ve been seeing Dr. Zahir for over 3 years. She is very skilled and ethical, and always cautious about recommending any treatment unless you really need it. I’ve had dental issues that have required numerous visits, Dr. Zahir and the staff at Ideal Smiles Dentistry never gave up on me. The staff are very knowledgeable and customer service oriented. I recommended several of my friends and family members to the practice. If you are looking for the best...they are it!
Estrada Dadzie
Dr. Zahir and the entire staff at Ideal Smiles is just simply amazing! From the time you walk in until the time you get out of the chair, everyone is friendly and welcoming. I was terrified to be seen because of two previous bad experiences with other dentists. However, Dr. Zahir and her team have changed all of that for me now. She was very accommodating. I'm just really grateful and happy to have found a new dentist who I can trust to do all of my dental work.
Marti-Ann Smith
Going in to see Dr. Zahir for the first time I knew I had some restorative work that I needed. The hygienist that did my cleaning was so extremely nice and patient with me in areas of my mouth that were sensitive. I definitely was in need of a cleaning after not having one for a few years. When Dr. Z came in she explained to me where her areas of concern were and we came up with a treatment plan. Overall my experience was a good one and I am going back again.
Grace Magallon
They hold true to their mission, providing exceptional dentistry to their clients and providing comfort.
The moment I walked in the door, best customer service. Everything was explained to you from the beginning to the end. EXCEPTIONAL!
Dr. Shabana Zahir is very thorough with her work and very gentle . I am really satisfied with her services along with her staff.
To be honest, now I can say I have found a dentist that I can trust and be comfortable with . It took a long time for me to find one . This is only the beginning and I know I am in good hands.
Thank you,Dr. Zahir and to your staff. I am grateful.
Rebecca Capehart
I’ve had a history of troubled teeth and many dentists. Dr Zahir is my favorite because she is honest and made time for me the two times I had a dental emergency. She sincerely cares for her patients. Her staff is always upbeat, jokes around, and honest about costs to my insurance and my time.
Sharon D
Dr. Zahir and her staff are very professional and comforting. I have always been nervous about going to the dentist, but they were reassuring and made the experience very positive. Although I had been seeing a dentist every six months for years, my teeth were deteriorating badly. I am thankful they were able to help me move towards a nicer smile and healthier teeth. I highly recommend Dr. Zahir!
Katelynn Reyes
I had a great experience here! All of the staff was really awesome, Doctor included! Elaine at the front desk was extras sweet , and extra helpful. Im not one who likes going to the dentist and the hospitality that was shown to me here was beyond fantastic. Also very clean and comfortable. I definietly recommend coming here to anyone and everyone!
Kimniki Sears
Everyone at the office makes you feel welcomed and comfortable. They are all down to earth, honest people. Dr. Z is amazing at her job. She gives you the truth about your checkups, educates you on preventive measures, and helps you make the best decisions for your dental care.
Toni Hart
I came in one Saturday morning in excruciating pain. My tooth was extracted and now i have a temporary bridge and it looks great.
The staff is very friendly and they all take good care of you, especially the dentist. I was very pleased with the services.
B
Was able to get a appointment quick for my kids. Walked in and the staff greated. Everyone was so nice. It was my daughter first time going to a dentist and they made her feel very comfortable. They took time to show her all the tools and even let her help! The staff is very nice and the doctor is great too! I had an amazing experience! Highly recommended!!
Zhaniah Gardner
I love this dentist office. I’ve been coming here for about 2 years. I was terrified of getting a root canal but I didn’t feel hardly anything, they made sure I was comfortable and numb the entire time. Everyone there is very professional and so friendly. Would def recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist!!
Taleisha Coppedge
Had a tooth extracted and I felt nothing. The staff were professional and personable. I would recommend to anyone.
MunchyBx
I have been terrified of going to the dentist all of my life. What a pleasure to have Dr. Zahir as my dentist. Dr. Zahir, the hygienists and the staff were very friendly and helpful. She was so patient; she acknowledged my anxiety/fear of dentist and was very helpful in calming me down. I ended up having a root canal done, because of the horror stories of others I was scared out of my mind, LET ME TELL YOU!!! However, the procedure was painless, and I did not take one pain med. after, I felt NO Pain. I am for the first time excited about making my routine visits to the dentist! I have been recommending everyone for a great experience!
Jessica Suthers
I could not speak enough great things about this office and Dr. Z from my very first appointment they were very thorough from finding a mistake that my previous dentist ( that I had went to for years, continuously missed ) to finishing my Six Month Smile today. I could not be happier with the outcomes I get every single time I enter the office ! I 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a dentist in the Virginia Beach area.
B Sanchez
Dr. Zahir and staff were terrific!! They made me feel very comfortable and went over everything that was going to be done and I had expected it to be painful but it was not. Dr. Zahir did a great job with my tooth!! I would definitely recommend her to my family and friends!
Ej Je
Dr. Zahir and entire staff of Ideal Smiles are very polite and fun. Everytime I come to my appointment, there is no dull moment. I love how they joke around each other, making the whole expirience light and fun as possible. I love Joy and Ashley as my DA and along with Dr. Z, them 3 will just make you smile and laugh. Also, I love when Dr. Z follow up on her patients at the end of the day to see how they are doing after a major procedure. I highly recommend Ideal Smiles. I'm happy that I found this office.
Nicole Bates
ALL of the staff here were great! Very caring. Dr Zahir was awesome very attentive and she seems to truly care about her patients. I have alot of dental work ahead of me and for once I'm looking forward to going to the dentist thank you all!
Sarah Strong
I took my 20 month old daughter to her first dentist appointment here. The staff was very kind and welcoming and professional. They went out of their way to make my daughter comfortable and made for a great experience. I most certainly recommend Ideal Smiles in Va Beach to my friends and family!
Mallory Ruffo
Going to this dental office was absolutely wonderful!!!! Im normally so scared of the dentist because of past experiences at other dental offices. I was so comfortable with the doctor and all of the staff. They listened to everything i asked and did a wonderful job. I had a smile that was horrible and was full of decay. I couldnt smile in pictures & totally ruined my self esteem. Now i have a smile that im proud to call mine. Thank you so much Dr.Zahir and All of the staff that work there.
Juanita Champion
I have had 2 crowns and a root canal done. This place does amazing work. I'm extremely happy with the work. They are very clean and totally professional. I recommend them to all who seek dental work.
Brittany Samms
Little by little I am regaining my smile thanks to the awesome people at ideal dentistry in VA Beach! They even made time to bring me in on a closed day. Dr. Zahir and her dental assistant Julie and the rest of the staff are amazing and kind, they definitely break the dentist stereo types.
Private Private
I feel kind of mixed about this place. The staff was insanely nice, very polite. The x-ray technician was very gentle, made sure my shoulders didn't get nudged, didn't mind me nervous. But then it seemed like the doctor I got didn't really listen to my problems. I said my jaw was clicking when I opened it, and she just said it was bad teeth. I DO have some teeth that need to be dealt with, but they wouldn't cause my jaw to audibly click when the joint opens. She was still very nice and very professional, however. So I'm confused about how I feel about it.
Edit: Sorry if the spelling is a little weird! I was just asleep. I completely retract my confusion. Not only did she call me because of this and explain why, what and where, but she also explained that the price I was given was the absolute worst-case scenario just in case, and that what I need is a lot more within my reach than I thought before. So it seems like it was just a matter of me misreading her, and she honestly did care a lot.
Beth Kerchner
Dr. Zahir is very kind and professional. I have gone here twice now for a cleaning. Both times Dr. Zahir cleaned my teeth. She hand scaled my teeth because I really didn't like the feeling of the high frequency tool for cleaning. I highly recommend this dental office.
Deborah Bimba
Heaven sent dentistry!!!! I was always afraid of Dentist and needles growing up and had a very low pain tolerance. I had so many bad experiences with Dentist who didn't know how to do their job. However, "IDEAL SMILES DENTISTRY" is the place to be. The whole staff is very friendly and honest. I had two teeth extractions done at Ideal Smile Dentistry, and it was PAIN FREE!!! Dr. Zahir knows her stuff & she does an extremely excellent job. They also make it a point to explain every detail that is going to happen & to make you feel as comfortable as possible. A great place to get any dental work done. They are VERY CLEAN with everything they do. They are the best Dentistry in Virginia!!

I don't know where to begin. This dentistry is awesome! I was looking for a new dentist and checked reviews for a few places. I chose this one because it is close to my house and they are in my network for insurance. When I called, Elaine, the person on the phone was so polite and answered all my questions with no problem. She was such a big help with paperwork and insurance. She definitely knows her stuff. She was even able to schedule me on the day that I wanted, which was 2 days from the day that I called. My appt went great! I wasn't in the lobby but maybe for 10 minutes or less. Everyone there made me feel so comfortable as if they already knew me. I got in the back and Helena came almost immediately to do my xrays and such. She is such a nice and warm person. She talked to me through the whole thing to make sure I wasn't nervous or anything and answered any questions that I had. Dr. Zahir was really nice as well. She was gentle and fast. Then I headed back out to Elaine at the front desk and once again she was extremely helpful. She helped me understand my insurance and payments that I would have to make. She did not try to rush me off or nothing. She made sure I understood everything before I left and again she scheduled my next appts according to my work schedule. This team is awesome! I didn't intend for this review to be this long, but some of these negative reviews that I just read are unbelievable! People are up here complaining about if they can't verify getting paid then tough luck. That is so not true. And for the record they do explain to you on paper about the whole insurance process. People please read your paper work. It also states that your first visit you may be there for 90 minutes and then they will give you a treatment plan and you will have to come back. They are not the only dentistry that does this. And by the way, this IS NOT a fake review. I am a real patient and was very pleased with how my appt went. Just like if you want respect, you have to give it. Well it is the same way when you go someone's office; if you go in with a pleasant attitude, you just might get one back. Good day.
Magna Lee
Dr. Zahir is amazing! My teeth are much cleaner and healthier since I’ve been with Ideal Smile Dentistry.
Aaron Mays
I had the most amazing experience here!
I had chipped my tooth over the weekend & I made an appointment online. Usually you wouldnt receive a call until the Monday when the office opened. Instead I recieved a call from the dentist herself from her personal phone almost an hour after I submitted.
She was very friendly & concerned of my well being. She verified my insurance that night and had me set up for an appointment first things first the next morning.
The inititial patient sign up was quick and easy! So stress free. When I was receiving my estimate, Elaine, one of the front desk people broke down my insurance benefits one by one so I was well aware of what I was covered for now & in the future.
No place has ever done this. I was beyond grateful.
During my examination she was very quick to find the solution to my problem. She got me an appointment as soon as possible. Which was 2 days after seeing her. I requested if there was any way I could be seen sooner for fear of losing my tooth. I was assured that the best effort would be placed towards doing so. Usually I would take this with a grain of salt. To my surprise 3hrs after me leaving and returning home I recieved a call and was told I was moved up a whole day. I jumped for joy.
Before my procedure I was very nervous, I needed a root canal and a crown. I wasn’t prepared for the pain, luckily I didnt need to be. There was none what so ever! Very gentle care, I was talked thru every step of the process. I almost fell asleep, thats how oddly pleasurable the experience was. She even did more to make sure my smile was where it needed to be. I left the place feeling like a million bucks
This is now my home dentist, I will not go anywhere nor recommend anyother place but Ideal Smiles. Forever grateful for this place.
Melissa Miller

Marinia Moore
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE STAFF AT IDEAL SMILES. THIS HAS BEEN THE BEST DENTAL TREATMENT I HAVE EVER RECEIVED. The STAFF is AMAZING.

My Dental Assistant JULIE is the BEST EVER, very supportive and always professional... she is my right hand girl at the dentist. She has a very calm tone for NERVOUS people like myself.
Dr. Zanir is AMAZING , she has turned my fear of going to the dentist in to several nice visits that I will never forget. I will remain a patient at this office. THANK YOU
Sherrie Frohnapfel
I was searching for a new dentist for a year and I finally found one. Dr. Zahir and her staff are great. It's so nice to go to a place where everyone works together for their patients and you don't feel like they are just in the profession for the $$.
From the front office to the back rooms... I felt very comfortable.
Elaine (front office/billing), Kristen (hygienist) Julie (asst.) & one other asst. that I can't recall her name (the one who got my xrays w/o pain) and off course Dr. Zahir.
Thank you so much for your care and compassion. I highly recommend Ideal Smiles for your dental care. <3
P.S. My pain is gone. Thank you all for your help on Monday & Tuesday !!!
7/31 & 8/1.
Laura Dewsbury
I have pretty substantial dental anxiety, but she made me feel very comfortable. The price for the work was quite reasonable, and she was genuinely concerned about my satisfaction with the work. I will definitely return for all my future dental work.
Ashley H.
Great experience!!
-Appointment started right on time with no wait.
-The space is clean and well-cared for.
-Front desk was very pleasant, and was super helpful with answering all my questions.
-Hollie was my hygienist and was EXCELLENT. Very sensitive to any pain, explained exactly what she was doing and why, just generally went above and beyond.
-Dr. Zahir was great! She was very easy to talk to, responsive to any concerns, and honest about what I needed (e.g. not pushing for unnecessary procedures)
David Strickland
Hands down, BEST extraction experience EVER! I went to a dentist to have 2 teeth pulled, big burley guy that says he pulls teeth all day every day, it took him an hour and a half, and 15 shots of novacaine to pull ONE! so I stopped him from doing the other. next day I was hurting, found ideal smiles at 4pm and they said I could come on in! she pulled my teeth in 15 minutes! no pain, no twisting and pulling and breaking teeth off! AMAZING extraction experience!
So I set an appointment to start getting the rest fixed and came in a week early and wasn't even told I came in a week early until the appointment was over!
I used to to a nervous wreck going to the dentist, now I'm ready to get the work done since finding Ideal Smiles!
she's my dentist for life, and I live an hour an a half away from her office if that tells you anything!
Vivian Perry
I don't usually do reviews but,I recently cracked my took and was so afraid to go to the dentist because of the bad experiences in the past.I got an appt so fast, and Dr. Zahir and her staff is so loving, and caring.I had no pain and everthing went so smoothly. I knew i was in the right place when i entered Ideal Smiles Dentistry. I was greeted with a smile and she had the greatest spirit. The personnel there seem to be so professional and caring. I had the best experience ever. Thanks so much! I LOVE YOU Ideal Smiles Dentistry!The best dentistry ever!
Amy West
I'm giving this 4 stars because all the staff are friendly and professional, but I'm knocking off a star because both visits I have been kept waiting 15-20 minutes past my scheduled appointment time. I arrived early each time and still ended up waiting. I like it here, but will find a new dentist if this happens again. Sitting in the office right now, its 10:50 and my appointment was 10:30.
Kerria
I went to see Dr. Shabana Zahir after leaving another dentist with whom I was unsatisfied with. Upon entering her practice I felt right at home. Her staff was very pleasant and polite and they did a great job at making me feel at ease. Her office manager was extremely informed on my situation after my visit and even went above and beyond to provide me with additional information on my care. I was very impressed and I am more than satisfied to entrust my dental care in the hands of Dr. Zahir and her staff!
Tim Pierson
Dr. Zahir and all her staff are a group of Rock Stars. Everyone is friendly, courteous and very professional. Since I have been treated by Dr. Zahir, I will not go anywhere else for my dental care. I will recommend Ideal Smiles to all my friends and colleagues.
Kim knoke
This was by far the BEST experience i have EVER HAD AT A DENTIST APPT!!! When i walked in i immediately felt very comfortable, for the atmosphere alone is calming and quiet and relaxing and the secretary was most polite and sweet and always smiling.The assistant was wonderful too. My wait was not long, and as soon as i was called back and saw Dr. Shabana Zahir's smiling face, i felt even more comfortable. Her face alone, gave me a warm feeling like everything was going to be just fine and she was going to make me all better and SHE DID. :) She was so calm, patient, friendly, sweet as could be, and i just will always for now on only see her for my dentist because she was BY FAR THE BEST!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH SHABANA!!
Denise Marie Lemire Rodgers (Dee or Nisey)
I called for an appt. on a Saturday 5/30/20 at 8:30am. to have two teeth pulled that had kept me up in severe pain for more then 24 hours I had never been here before and found this practice on google as being open for emergencies by appt. only on Saturdays Dr. Zahir herself answered my call and made me a 10am. appt. with her I have high blood pressure and didn’t take my medicine meaning my blood pressure was to high for her to extract my aching teeth so instead of telling me I’d have to come back another day which I feel anywhere else would have done she could see my pain and said we had till noon to get my blood pressure in check I went home took my pills came back and she was able to extract them I also have a great fear of dentists I am so grateful for her and her staff even though they were extremely busy they were so kind and helpful they went above and beyond I will be back and tell everyone I know thank you and god bless 😁
Joan Rudd
I just left my six month check up. I would be remiss if I did not comment on this visit. I had the best cleaning and polishing by Kristen. She was both professional and personable. I will definitely request her in the future.
Affzal
My initial visit to this clinic showed me why so many others have rated it so highly.
From the lady at the front desk to the dental assistant, the sincere care and professionalism was par excellent. Dr. Shabana saw me and exhibited an unusual degree of concern, caring and professionalism.
This clinic demonstrated to me a degree of friendliness and authentic caring beyond what I could have hoped for. I would definitely pass on to my friends..
Melissa Jones
I would definitely recommend going here. The best dental office I have ever been to. Everyone was so friendly and professional! Dr. Zahir is awesome. She's so nice and respectful and she explains everything in detail. I will be visiting for many years to come.
Janne Halstead
I want to Thank Dr Zahir and her professional staff for getting me in the same day I called . I broke one of my teeth and the nice very helpful staff was able to get me in. The Dr is also very nice and very caring of me and my time . The office is very clean and I would recommend this DDS to anyone and I will be return for more appointments . A great Dentist and staff thank you
Erica Wilson
Who goes to the dentist office to get a root canal and falls asleep, I did . I was so relaxed and well taken care of. Everytime I go into the office I am greeted by the front office , if I have any questions, the ladies at the front desk will answer me or they will find the answer for me . Dr. Shabana and the staff in the back are so awesome . They made sure I was comfortable with everything that was going on . I'm so glad that I was referred to Dr . Shabana, and she also does Great work .
Erika molina
She was amazing and handled my emergency tooth extraction and I didn't feel a thing. She was super sweet and took extremely good care of me and her assistant took me seriously and was also very nice to me ❤️ highly recommend this dentist
Kate Marrie
Long but worth the read. My 4 yr old daughter and I had THE BEST experience here. The first time here, my daughter was NOT wanting to have xrays taken, so Ashley that works there told her that Princess Rapunzel and Princess Jasmine go there and she would tell them about my daughter and maybe they would write her a letter or send her a doll. Six months later when Ashley saw us, she told my daughter she had been waiting for her to come back because the princesses left her something. When my daughter got a little nervous, Elaine from the front pretended to be on the phone giving Jasmine a good update. While waiting for Dr. Zahir to come check her teeth, we went to the bathroom. When we came back out Elaine and Jessica from the front, Alyssa that cleaned her teeth, Ashley and Dr. Zahir were all crowded in and around the room. My daughter found a present and a letter from Princess Rapunzel in her seat. I think I was more shocked than my daughter! So at the end of our visit my daughter went to the front with Ms. Elaine and I talked to the other ladies. Ashley said they had been waiting since last time to give it to her and that Dr. Zahir herself went to the store and bought that just for my daughter. They wanted to mail it but wanted to see her reaction. I told them they definitely have patients for LIFE! They are all so sweet, attentive, caring and great at what they do. I would highly recommend them to EVERYONE! They see adults too. I cannot say enough amazing things about this practice and the people that work there!
Carolyn Whitfield
My tooth fell out today. I could not get an appointment with my regular dentist. I did not want to be in pain. So I Googled and found Dr. Saban Zahir at Ideal Smiles Dentistry. I called and talked to Ms.Joyce and she worked me in the same day. I was so glad. Dr. Zahir ,Ms. Joyce and her staff are really nice. I felt like I've known them for years. They explained everything to me thoroughly so I will know what to expect when I return tomorrow. I would highly recommend them to my family and friends.
mohammad ateeq
This is the best dental office that I have been to in many years. Dr. Zahir and her staff are always professional and very friendly. She always gives me a series of options for the treatment I need, and her staff is very accommodating.
Shannon Stoughton
The past few weeks I've been having a painful toothache. I went to Kool Smiles (6.16.15) I was in the lobby for over an hr before the called me back. Then I sat in a room for another 20mins before the dr came in. He took a look for about 5 mins and said we can't do anything till you have these papers signed. So much wasted time there. So I got them signed and came back (6.18.15) I sat in the lobby again for about 30-45 mins. They took X-rays and did a cleaning, not gentle at all. After telling them how badly my tooth was hurting the couldn't schedule me for another week to get it pulled. They didn't prescribe me any pain medication either. That night I cried for 3 hrs because the pain was so bad. I looked up an emergency dentist and found Ideal smiles. I called them in the morning(6.19.15) Mrs Joyce scheduled me for that afternoon. I showed up for my appointment and waited for about 5mins. They called me back, did an X-Ray told me everything that needed to be done. The staff is very knowledgeable. They didn't just say stuff, they made sure you understood. They scheduled me for (6.20.15) to have my tooth pulled. I went in and was called immediately. Pain factor was my biggest concern. There was none. They numb you and they wait about 5-10mins for it to set in. Dr.Z and her assistant were amazing. Mrs. Joyce is so friendly and easy to talk to. I signed a paper to have my records transferred. They are my new dentist and I highly recommend them to everyone.
P.s. If they give you sunglasses. Make sure you don't leave with them. They sanitize and keep them for next time.
P.s.s sorry for such a long review just felt like I had to give an in depth review of why they deserve infinity stars.
Rachel Allred
The staff is amazing and so friendly! They are always incredibly welcoming and professional. Dr. Zahir is understanding and flexible when it comes to working with patients, which is necessary for someone like myself in the military. Very glad I chose this office!
Joseph Black
Dr..Zahir , in my opinion was very down to business. I had to have some teeth extracted, and she had a good approach, She went to the point and she got the work done. I prefer it that way, as much as it can hurt. I wanted to get it over with. I nickname Dr. Zahir, "Lady Business". Good work! I felt some pain during drilling, and she gave me more anesthetic and it went smoothly from there.She prescribed pain killers on request, and also, in my case, antibiotics. Very thorough. Thank you to her and her assistants.
suchi shines
Had best experience in terms of service & treatment. Staff & doctor are super friendly . It easy to talk it out to them they help us understand everything and do answer all questions & concerns . Really organized . Help with any adjustments in terms of appointments or treatment as to when it can be moved or how long they can be prolonged weather in terms of dates adjustments or finance adjustments.Glad for choosing this place after going through other reviews.
Cassy Giacci
The staff and dentist are great. They explain every detail and work at your pace. In my case I needed to stretch out my visits over time and there was no problem or pressure to rush anything that wasn't an emergency.
Angelica Rhodes
Gentle with tools while doing dental cleaning. I got my free toothbrush and floss!!
C. Beckett
What a wonderful and professional experience. Dr. Zahir is a skilled professional and her staff are truly amazing. They make you feel as if you were part of the family. I appreciate Dr. Zahir's taking the time to explain the procedures to me and making me feel comfortable. A true professional.
Meren Fire
They are extremely patient with me really understanding of my fear of needles and the dentist due to a past experience with one highly recommended this dentistry very greatful I know it’s their job but they really make me as comfortable as possible during any procedures and explain things to me they take into consideration I’m half deaf
a marty
I have not been to a dentist in over 20 years because of a bad experience. About three weeks ago I had a bad tooth ache and Dr. Zahir fit me in when I called. Since then I had two more teeth pulled and a deep cleaning. Dr. Zahir, Christine and the whole staff have been outstanding. A big thank you too all and I would highly recommend Dr. Zahir.

Tracey McElroy
Dr. Zahir is THE BEST DENTIST!!! She always makes me feel like she cares. Her staff is amazing! I will forever come to her as my dentist.
cheyenne conover
I am not a fan of going to the dentist. But this office was amazing! They made me feel comfortable and kept me laughing the whole time. I am so thankful that they could fit me into their busy schedule and take my pain away!
Ulla Capps
WOW! It was so nice being with a dentist that was all about your teeth, how to make them healthy and strong. Dr. Z explained all the problems and procedures that I was going through. I like not being kept in the dark about my health. The staff was very personable, warm and friendly. They explained all the ins and outs about cost, and what to expect. I have been looking for a dentist for my family for 2 years. I am sold for life
emely rodriguez
I was terrified of fill ins, DR Zahir is AMAZING. I was comfortable the whole time, everything is clean and they make sure you have a great experience. She always made sure I was okay. This place is very professional and clean.
Amrth Ganapathy
Good Doctor and Great Staff. Quite considerate to the patient and does give you a detailed explanation on the procedures, along with the costs. The doctor is very flexible in her timing and did accommodate me during short notices. BTW the fillings were painless
Lauren Roe
Love Dr. Zahir and all the staff here at Ideal Smiles
tina lantz
My significant other, Andy Schoger, was in extreme pain Saturday, 11/4. So much so that he was actually throwing up because of it. The pain had started Friday night, and being the weekend, we thought he was just going to have to suffer until Monday morning (at least). By mid Saturday morning, he was looking for a pair of pliers and threatening to pull it himself, or to try to, because he couldn't stand the pain any longer. I was very fortunate to find Ideal Smiles! I called at 11am, and they managed to squeeze us in, thank goodness!! The staff even stayed past their closing time (1pm that day) to pull the troublesome tooth. I honestly don't know how we would have made it through that weekend if it weren't for them. We are so thankful for their help!!
byronpaul19
Hi all. I was experiencing extreme tooth pain on a Friday when many dentist offices are closed. I called around to see if any dentist office that was open would help me. Keep in mind that this was late in the afternoon on a Friday, not to mention that I suffer from severe dental phobia. Not only was Ideal Smiles, located at 367 Independence Blvd across from Pembroke Mall, open, but they squeezed me in during an already busy day. Although they do not have nitrous oxide, Dr. Zahir, Ashley and staff were able to make me feel comfortable enough to go through an emergency root canal without it. I highly recommend them for all your dental needs and I will be a customer for life.
INFAMOUS GORJUS
Dr. Shabana Zahir and her entire staff are polite, professional, and extremely competent. Dr. Shabana takes her time to explain what procedures are needed, if any, and is great at what she does!!! The whole staff including Dr. Shabana treat people like human beings which is an asset in Hampton Roads!! She's the greatest!! If you're looking for a dentist and want to talk about your teeth with people with tact and professionalism Ideal Smiles Va Beach (Independence Ave) is the place to go!!! Once again the office staff is SUPERB!! I'm a patient at Ideal Smiles as well as my daughter...WE LOVE IT!! 🙂
Dustin Anderson
Been here four times in the last year and a half. Always had a great experience. I was just in to get an old filling redone and it was probably one of the best visits I've ever had to a dentist. Everyone there is always very friendly and I'm glad they accept tricare too!
Mary Brooks

Christian Miller
A MUST READ REVIEW>>>>>>Ok I am one that absolutely hates the dentist. My blood pressure shoots through the roof, my anxiety kicks in and it is absolutely an awful feeling. I broke a tooth sometime ago and because I hate going to the dentist I just dealt with it. Well when the tooth became infected I was no longer able to push off the inevitable, It was time to go to the dentist. It was a Saturday morning and I could not bear the pain anymore, so I started making calls and finally spoke with Ideal Smiles. I arrived at the office bouncing off of the walls because I was so stressed and wanted to be anywhere but here. Joyce was a very warm reception but in my head it was still the dentist office. They called me back to the exam room and told me all the things I have heard at all of my other horrible dentist exams with other dentistrys' and I was like yeah yeah yeah in my head. They did their exam and told me that I had an infected tooth. Dr Zahir came in and told me again all of the information that I have heard in previous horrible exams at other dentist offices and reassured me that everything would be ok just llike the last mouth butcherer did. Dr Zahir informed me that the tooth was to far gone to salvage and it needed to come out. OH GREAT blood pressure is through the roof at this point ( to let you know how bad it was for me my BP at that moment was 152/110) Dr Zahir said Christian you need to relax so I did my best to go to my happy place to calm down. Everyone kept coming back and talking and laughing with me and I looked at Dr Zahir and said "Im ready". I sware on everything I love in this world the decayed tooth was removed without incident and with a soft touch.
I don't know what the future holds but what I do know is that I will make Ideal Smiles my Dentist hopefully for a very long time. I am not saying I won't still have some anxieties when I enter the Building but I have a sneaking suspicion that they will make me feel at ease and treat me with kid gloves because they know that I have had some horrific dentistry experience. Dr Zahir I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart and I will see you soon.
Georgann Martinez
On July 25th I had gone back to finish my deep cleaning and because my experience with the first deep cleaning I was calm and without anxiety. My blood pressure went from 138 over 90 something to 119 over 72. That alone is amazing and speaks volumes. Thank you Kristen you are awesome.
Georgann M.
Karen Guevara
My kids felt very comfortable with Dr. Zahir and Staff. Kids really understood the importance of their oral hygiene and what to do to assure that home care and caries are under control. The facility is clean and very organized.
Carrie Clark
I went to Ideal Smile to get my tooth taken out it was so fast and painless and I had a terrible experience with dentists before but this time she and her staff was very nice and warm people so it put me at ease. I cracked my tooth on Thanksgiving and I am confident that she can fix it with an affordable price.
Dawn Theibert
Dr. Zahir & Staff are amazing! I went in with major issues, and was treated compassionately, professionally and very quickly. Thank you all! I have found my new dentist.
Rose & Ethan Tudela
I chose Ideal Dentistry for my 8 year old son Ethan after reading Great reviews about them...He had his First Appointment on Monday and he was seen by Mrs.Julie O..She was "AMAZING".She Assured my son not to be AFRAID of the dentist since he had a BAD Experience at Kool Smiles..She explained to him the procedure of cleaning his teeth and showing him the tools she was going to use to clean it with...After cleaning his teeth and taking Xrays, my son whispered to me and said he wasn't SCARED anymore of the DENTIST. Before checking out of the dental office Mrs.Julie told him he could go and choose a toy in the chest..He was Super Happy!! I'm Very PLEASED to have chosen Ideal Dentistry, Elaine, the Staff and Dr. Zahir were Friendly and Professional...I would HIGHLY Recommend Ideal Dentistry Especially for Younger Children who are AFRAID of the DENTIST! THANKYOU Julie!!
Willie Strickland
I've been attending this dentistry with my family for about 2 years now. They promote a positive atmosphere inside their facility and they are always timely, kind and professional.
shayla white
I am usually terrified to go to the dentist but Dr.Zahir and her staff are absolutely amazing. I recommend Ideal Smiles Dentistry to any and everyone who is looking for a perfect dentist. Ideal Smiles Dentistry is the BEST!!!

Cant say enough great things. Everyone in this office is always so pleasant and kind. Our favorite is Marilyn and of course Dr Shabana. You can see the passion they have in their job! I highly recommend this place.
Cecelia Beck
All of the people at Ideal Smiles are wonderful. From the personal at the front to the techs to the Dentist. All top notch and professional. They made me feel at ease. I would recommend them to everyone.
Kaitlin Morel

Well stepped into this place post my wife's root canal treatment. Really happy with kind of treatment & service. They are really understanding helped me with my appointment adjustments owing to my schedule. I would certainly recommend this place to all.
d s
I walked in on a FRIDAY for a root canal after being stood up by another dentist. They were able to perform not one, but two root canals while being EXTREMELY patient and caring as I literally had a panic attack. Awesome customer service!
Sam S
Everyone is very personable which helps with dentist visits. Had tv in the room, they asked if I had any requests for a channel, for lengthy visits this is nice to pass the time and help keep ur mind off what they're doing.
Helped explain and hopefully resolve an insurance issue when THEY got on the phone to call. Not making me the middle man since they are more knowledgeable about the terminalology and questions that needed to be asked. It's nice not being told "you will need to call the insurance company.....". It's nice to not have to go in circles, especially when insurance is involved.
Abbey Pachter
You will have personal, professional, efficient service from Dr. Zahir and her assistants. Dr. Zahir does your first cleaning herself (not by the tech) which is unique. When I go there I feel like I"m visiting friends.
RonnieSavage Gaming
" WOW I just got my teeth cleaned here & boy do I gotta say it was wonderful!" Dr. Zahir & the hyg. Susan are doing a great job & I highly recommend going here to anyone. Keep up the great work!!!! :)

I went there last tuesday to get checked out because I was in so much pain. I went in and had 20 x-rays on my mouth and they said I needed a deep clean to correct the problem. I went that friday and had part 1 of the deep clean performed. Crystal was very professional and I felt no pain.
Anna Gray
I am new in town and do not enjoy finding a new dentist, but I had a great experience and the service was awesome. I will definitely be returning, and I am so glad I have found someone that gives me a super clean smile.

Dr. Zahir & her staff do an amazing job. Their customer service is exceptional! Each time I’ve visited they’ve answered any questions I’ve had. Dr. Zahir is very thorough and explains exactly what she’s going to do, as well as shows before and after picture of your teeth. I enjoy being a patient here and definitely recommend Ideal Smiles for all your dental needs.
Andrew Erie
Great experience as always. Alexis and Dr. Zahir we’re great!
Justin Valderaz
Tonesia took the time to ensure all recommendations were or weren't covered by my insurance. Hands down, the least painful cleaning I've ever received.
Michael Orefice
I continue treatment at this dental facility and am more impressed by the wonderful service I am receiving by Dr. Zahir and her staff than I was initially, which is hard to do. My first appointment was on an emergency basis, and Adriana found a spot for me earliest possible when four other dental facilities advertising emergency service had nothing for me. My 2nd appointment was a little farther out than we wanted, but Adriana came through again and called with and appointment that opened up after a cancellation. My treatment team and the staff...Tavis, Kiyah, Natalie, Adriana and Dr. Zahir...have been amazing with their professionalism and compassion in my treatment, which has involved multiple extractions at this point. My treatment has been made as pain free as possible and I am amazed at how quickly they can get the job done. I will continue to retain Ideal Smiles as my dental office for as long as they are in business, which I hope is as long as I am around. I recommend this dental facility to anyone in need of a dentist for any reason.
