Dr. Claudio is the BEST, as well as his staff. They were all so friendly and welcoming. He was extremely knowledgeable and very gentle and explained anything and everything in depth. He asked all my questions and fears about my teeth and made sure I felt safe about it all. I would recommend him 100 times over. The office was simple and nice and it was cool to find out he was expanding his business for more patients.

I had to find a new dentist accepting Medicaid, and this office and the doctor are GREAT! They accommodated an emergency visit, explained what was going on, and were personable and not preachy!

I had an exceptional experience at Smiles. Despite running 10 minutes late, the staff were incredibly accommodating and friendly about it, making me feel welcomed from the moment I walked in. The environment was warm and inviting, and the entire visit was straightforward and stress-free.
I was so relaxed during my appointment that I almost fell asleep! The team did a fantastic job making sure I was comfortable, and I even got a blanket and to watch HGTV for a bit while they worked. Highly recommend this office for anyone looking for a positive dental experience.

Dr. Urquiaga is an amazing dentist!! He is very knowledgeable, patient, communicative, and has a very calming bedside manner as he works. I used to be so anxious going to the dentist before I found Chantilly Smiles, but now I drive 45 minutes out of my way just to see him, he and his staff are really just that good!!
April 9, 2024Zee A.Verified patient
I dont think I have ever been so relaxed during a dentist appointment. Communication about cost and procedures was very clear, and everyone was very professional. Xrays, cleaning, and two fillings in less than an hour, and no unnecessary additional fees, without letting me know in advance. The doctor was personable and friendly. I will definitely be back, and I am recommending to my family and friends.

New patient. Great experience! Dr. U took time to explain everything, No rush, took all the time necessary. Happy to have found him. Will continue as his patent.
July 14, 2023Pablo S.Verified patient
I got my dates mixed up & ended up at Dr. Claudio’s office one week before my actual appointment. Instead of being told I had the dates confused & turned away, the dental team didn’t miss a beat. Even though I did not technically have an appointment that day I was welcomed & seen right away. Dr. Claudio was extremely kind & knowledgeable! He informed my tongue ring I have had for years now is causing my gums to recede which no prior dentist had mentioned before despite regular visits. I had never heard of a tongue piercing causing that problem before seeing Dr. Claudio. I look forward to my next appointment with such a friendly efficient team & Doctor. Highly recommend!
