Dr. Christina Mills and Associates

I see Dr. Brian Laurence at Dr. Mills office and he is outstanding. Dr. Laurence is very thorough and does excellent work. I highly recommend this office and Dr. Laurence. The front staff is awesome and I always feel well taken care of whenever I go to the office.

I’ve been going to Dr. Mills’ office for 5 – 6 years now and I always have an excellent experience. The front desk staff are very friendly and happy to work with you to find a time that fits for your schedule. The dental hygienists are FABULOUS! I am never anxious about having my teeth cleaned because they are gentle and check in to see if you are OK. I just had full x-​rays done on my teeth and I kept waiting for something horrible but the machine and bites they use are as comfortable as possible. I’ve seen both Dr. Mills and one other dentist (I can’t remember her name) and they are both great. No judging of your lack of proper teeth habits, just encouragement and education on what you should be doing. I don’t hate going to the dentist!!!

I hate going to the dentist; who doesn’t, right?
Luckily, I was referred to Dr. Mills by a work colleague and I’ve been a patient ever since (first visit was in early 2012).
Dr. Mills is a great dentist and her staff is lovely. Her dental hygenists are quick and thorough and take great efforts to make sure patients are relaxed and comfortable. As weird as it is to write, I actually look forward to having my teeth cleaned now, too.
I’ve had four fillings replaced and the procedures were done well and quickly. I recently went to see an endontist for an issue with a root canal done years ago and she remarked on how healthy my gums were and how well all of my dental work looked.
I recommend Dr. Mills very highly.

Great office with very nice, helpful and efficient staff. More importantly, I’ve had work done by both Dr. Mills and Dr. Turpin, and I’ve had no issues at all or any lingering pain or discomfort. They repeatedly told me to call if the pain did not subside when it should have.
The front desk staff is great; they offer to give you an explanation of your benefits before you get work done so you know what you may expect to pay. When I had an issue with my insurance company, they called on my behalf.

I have always loved going to the dentist. I am weird, I know. But I just love getting my teeth cleaned and how great I feel afterwards. If my insurance covered more than two cleanings a year, I would be there every month if I could. For the most part, I have had good dentists in the past, but did not have one set dentist that I liked upon moving here almost three years ago. Once we moved from Fairfax to DC, I decided to find a closer dentist. This place was one of the first that I called that took the military insurance (yay). I easily made an appointment with the nice receptionist and within a few months I had my first visit. That was back in May and it was a very pleasant visit, I left telling my husband that I enjoyed my new dentist.
Yesterday was my second visit here, and again, it was a great visit. Sheila has cleaned my teeth both times, and I just adore her. She is so friendly and funny. I had Brian Laurence during my first visit, and I had Dr. Mills yesterday. Both are friendly and welcoming. I think this is a great doctor’s office.

Honestly, I can’t believe I am writing a review for a dentist but when you have a good one, it can be like a minor miracle in life.
I HATE the dentist. I go, I always go, but I hate it nonetheless. I used to agonize for days about a routine cleaning, that’s how freaky I am about the dentist.
But this is a good one. A VERY GOOD ONE. I have been seeing Dr. Mills and her associate, Dr. Brian, for nine years now and I cannot speak highly enough about these dentists and the staff at this office.
The entire staff is professional and friendly and this is very much a family-​oriented practice. Even for me, who doesn’t have a family, I feel like I am walking into my aunt or grandmother’s house when I get here. I know that is a ridiculous thing to say but if you have dental fears, then you get what I mean when I say this is a very comforting dentist.
And they remember you. I was gone for two years in Africa and came back and it was like I never left. They remembered me (and all my neurosis) like I had never been gone.
Dr. Mills (and maybe Dr. Brian, not sure) are originally from Ghana so if you are a traveler, they will be particularly to your liking. Especially if you have had some strange dental procedures in other countries or are neurotic and fearing strange dental procedures in other countries ;)
In any case, traveler or not, this is by far the best dentist and best dental office I have ever been to. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

I have always been taken care of in terms of my dental needs here. Everyone working here is friendly and seems happy and it’s a very good experience.
