I have been to see Dr. Lynch and his team twice now for an exam, cleaning and minor cosmetic concern. Both Of these visits have been during COVID and the staff is very cautious and considerate of my safety and comfort. I’ve never been kept waiting and always feel like I’m their VIP of the day. I will and have recommended Alexandria Art of Dentistry to anyone looking for a quality dental office.

Aside from the glamorous office and relaxing tunes, you can tell Dr. Varipapa takes his craft seriously and runs a first class practice alongside his kind and proficient staff.His modern equipment, personal attention and attention to detail is why he knew my course of treatment was to align my teeth before restoration. He explained that moving forward with restoring the missing teeth without aligning them first would result in more damage due to an underlying issue. I am so thankful for Dr Vs insight due to his ongoing education and years of experience.By the way, I travel from Charleston, SC to see him. Hes that good!

This was my first visit to Dr. Lynch and I was worried, as my other dentist was wonderful. Dr. Lynch immediately impressed me with his enthusiasm, clear explanations, sure hands and painless touch. I had four crowns prepped, so this was an enormous amount of work for one session. I had a lot of local anesthesia but I did not feel even one of the injections! Great job!Thank you for your skill and professionalism.

These guys are the best in Northern Virginia and DC area. They listened to me and my concerns, they offered conservative treatment and options that no one else had offered. They were extremely professional and got the job done where now l have a beautiful and healthy smile! I love my visits there and just go back for cleaning because my days of dental dilemmas are over. Thanks Dr V and staff!

Youve tried the rest now try the best! My teeth were fragile and worn from grinding and my dazzling smile from my youth had faded. Dr Varipaps restored my movie star smile and l am now ready for my close up! My dental work consisted of crowns and veneers that have lasted for years and still look great . Thanks for the great, gorgeous smile that feels and looks so good

Dr. V and his team are a great group of good people. I recently just visited their office (4/07/16) and their service was professionally and courteous. I honestly felt as if I knew them for awhile. I would recommend them to any who are in need of dental services. Thanks guys!

When I was a young girl, an accident broke a front tooth. Over the next 30 years, every kind of repair was done on the tooth. Bonding, veneers, pins and more. Unfortunately, nothing balanced my smile and the work was always poorly done. The result? I spent 30 years not wanting to smile - 30 years avoiding pictures - and just as many years avoiding dentists who just seemed to make things worse. A number of deferred dental issues and ongoing pain finally inspired me to address my teeth for healthy living, and healthy self esteem. I needed a dentist with a good bedside manner, exceptional skill, empathy and understanding around my low pain tolerance. It really was life changing when I chose to work with Dr. Varipapa and his incredible staff. Hes not a dentist, hes family now. I have a smile Im finally confident with and all of my serious dental issues (cross bites/grinding and more) have been tackled. I now look forward to my six month cleanings. Ive been to dozens of dentists and there isnt a single experience that can compare to the one Ive had at this practice. The quality of work (essentially my smile) speaks volumes. I highly recommend them!

Dr. V and his team are amazing! I was feeling really discouraged about having an ill-fitting and poorly matched crown replaced on one of my front teeth. Every time I looked at the crown I thought about the accident that caused me to break my teeth and felt grief. I had been told by other dentists I would need multiple crowns and veneers to fix the issue. Dr. Vs approach was far more conservative and in line with my wishes. My new crown is absolutely amazing. I am so impressed with how well it matches my other teeth, and my front teeth are finally even again now that I have a crown that fits properly. I am so happy I went to Dr. V. Thank you, Dr. V. for fixing my smile!

I just came from an appointment with Dr Varipapa and it was the highlight of my day. They are such a nice group of people and l never feel pressured to get treatment or X-rays. Dr V spends a lot of time with me catching up and talking about advances in dentistry. I know he taught at the dental school and his office is very professional. My appointments are very private too. I had some work done a few years ago and it is still holding up and looks great. We couldn’t be happier that we chose Dr Varipapa as our dentist because he and his staff are honest, up to date and really caring. I send all of our friends there and they love him too. He’s the best dentist I’ve ever had!

The experience I have had at The Alexandria Center for Dentistry is second to none! Dr. Varipapa and his staff are incredibly professional, friendly and make you feel comfortable as soon as you walk in the door. The office itself is beautifully decorated and feels like a home rather than a sterile office environment. The practice has managed to make a trip to the dentist a much more enjoyable and personal experience. Dr. Varipapa is warm, intelligent and engaging and always recommends what is best for you as a patient. I am fortunate to be able to call Charley and Claire good friends. Visit once and you will never want to see another dentist again!

I have known Charley for 5+ years and he is truly an artist with exceptional talent. I was in an accident that required 4 dental surgeries of sorts, and when it came down to the last surgery, I found Charley because of the excellent reviews he had received from his patients!! He truly goes above and beyond for his patients so what more could I ask for? I am truly grateful to have him as my dentist because he has given me the best smile, he is very sincere and personable, and he has a wicked sense of humor ;)! New patients - please visit Charley, and it will be the best decision you ever make!!! :)Kind regards,Gauri Ganachari

Lets face it, no one loves going to the dentist. But, Dr. Varipapa and his team make this experience as pleasurable as possible.They really make you feel right at home and do so with the utmost professionalism.Dr. V is very talented in many aspects of dentistry.I often get compliments about my smile and my teeth. He also has been so responsive. Once when I called him on his day off with a very bad toothache, he dropped everything and agreed to meet me in his office, looked at the tooth, and quickly referred me for a root canal.His office has been so accommodating with payment schedules, especially when my finances were a little low. I so appreciated this!I highly recommend The Alexandria Art of Dentistry team!

Ive known and been a patient of Dr. Varipapa for over ten years. He is a true artist in every sense of the word, and Im so glad that I chose him to do my veneers, crowns and bridge. The before and after pictures are stunning and I couldnt be happier with the results. Beyond the great work, Charley and his staff are a delight to work with. Claire is always incredibly warm and helpful and Charleys staff couldnt be more professional and dedicated. I cannot recommend Dr. Varipapa any higher than I already do!

Dr. Han is thorough, super friendly, and a delight--how many people can say that about their dentist? She and the rest of Dr. Varipapas staff make going to the dentist a pleasure. It might take a bit to get used to the extreme individualized service you get in this practice, but once youve experienced it, youll never want to go back to the factory-style offices.

This practice is excellent! My wife and I have been going here since before Dr. Bernard Lynch took over from Charlie, whom we loved, and Bernard has definitely proven a worthy successor.During COVID Bernards practice has been very careful to ensure we feel safe there. We appreciate that very much.And I am big enough to admit that when it comes to getting a novocaine shot I am a great, big baby! If you have the same issue then its Dr. Lynch to the rescue. He puts the needle in so smoothly and gently that even I cant feel a thing. He has the magic hands for sure.I also have to mention Bernards high grade staff: Clarissa, Josh and Tiffany. They work hard and take good care of us. Kudos to all.Randy.

I got in a car accident many years ago and lost two front teeth. Dentist who fixed my teeth at the time did a horrible job. After a few year teeth came off. Dr.Charles Varipapa came to rescue my smile. He chose the best approach to fixed my teeth and gave me the best smile I ever have in my life. It changes the look of my face and my appearance. It make me have more confidence. He is very professional and give a clear consultation on very things that you need to know. He is a perfectionist, he will make sure that you are absolutely happy with the result. His staff is also very friendly and helpful. I have gone to him for many years now and always very happy with his amazing work. I highly recommend Dr. Charles Varipapa for anyone who are looking for the best Dentist.

Dr. Varipapa literally gave me back my smile. He and his entire staff are very professional, efficient, and skilled at their craft.

I first started going to this practice more than 20 years ago when I was referred to Dr. Varipapa for a life-long TMJ problem. After an extensive work up that included realigning my teeth to get them into a more comfortable position, I had a full mouth dental reconstruction. It was a total success and today I remain pain-free and also have beautiful and functional crowns. Thank you Dr. Varipapa and Clarissa!

My daughter had a genetic condition that no dentist was able to figure out. It wasnt until we saw Dr Varipapa that we understood exactly what her problem was. The others wanted to take out all of her teeth and give her dentures. Dr Varipapa was able to save her teeth and restore them beautifully. After that her personality blossomed, she tried out for cheerleaders and made the squad she took karate and got her black belt she excelled at school and even surprised us all when she told us she wanted to go to college she went from hiding her smile just smiling and lighting up the room! We couldnt have been happier. Now its nearly 20 years later and we still love going to see Dr Varipapa and his staff. So if youre looking for a great dentist who really cares about people your search is over, you found one.

Dr. Varipapa and staff are THE BEST. After a year of poor dentistry which resulted in badly damaged teeth and ruined smile, Dr. Varipapa gently and professionally restored my teeth and gave me a movie star smile. Nothing artificial, looks like my real teeth before they were damaged. He is blessed with gifted hands and talent. He is the go to dentist when you want top of the line care and results in all types of dentistry. The office staff, especially Clarissa, are delightful, patient, well informed on insurance procedures and always there to assist the patient in any way they can to insure the patient is comfortable and well cared for. God Bless you, Dr. Varipapa and Staff!Mary Louise Powell

Dr. Varipapa, Clarissa and Kayla were great! I came in with a medical condition where I was missing 10 permanent teeth. I was very self conscious and didnt like to smile. Dr Varipapa gave me the best dental advice that was going to be best for my condition. They helped me through the whole experience with no hiccups. I now smile 24/7 and am beyond happy with my smile. Thank you Alexandria Art of Dentristy.

I have been a patient of Dr. Varipapas for several years and would have to rate him, his staff, and his associates EXCELLENT! Beginning with your first visit, you will experience a friendly, warm and caring environment. This professional office has a calming atmosphere that certainly aides nervous patients, so much so, that I recommended my spouse for treatment as well. It was most obvious that the Doctor puts the comfort of his patients first when he adjusted his protocol to make my spouse more comfortable dealing with her vertigo condition. Our previous dentist refused to adjust his methods, but Dr. Varipapa did not hesitate one second. He is friendly, honest, informative, caring, and talented in the execution of his skills. I absolutely and without reservation endorse Dr Varipapa and his entire staff. This is one stop shopping for all your dental and cosmetic dental needs. They will make you smile, and more importantly, help you to achieve the smile you always wanted.

I have been going to Dr. Varapapa and his office family for 12 years. I have to include his staff, because they work so well together, it would be remiss of me to not include them as a part of the experience. Its more like going to a friends home, rather than a cold, (and lets face it, frightening) dental office. The staff makes sure you feel at home.Dr. Varapapa is an artist with his work. Just look on the wall of his office at all of the beautiful faces smiling back at you! I say faces rather than mouths, because Dr. Varapapa creates the perfect look for each individual so the end result is the most attractive YOU.I now live an hour away from his office, but I wont consider going to anyone else! After all, whats more important than making sure your smile reflects your outlook to the world?

I actually look forward to going to the office. I enjoy seeing my friends. Clarissa and Kayla are top notch and help to keep Dr. Varipapa on track. I look forward to meeting the new doctor addition to the practice. I am sure he will be just as wonderful.

My dental story was a horror story before I met Dr Varipapa and his great staff.I had had problems as a child and was scared to death of the dentist. The dentalwork I had was falling apart. I had gone to another dentist to have my frontteeth done before my wedding and it was a nightmare. I finally found Dr Varipapaand his wonderful staff, they did an amazing exam like I had never had beforeand explained all of my options. No one had ever taken so much time with me. Icould see why he was a Top Dentist with great dental reviews. I decided to breakup my treatment into the three part s they told me it could be done in and theresults were fantastic. Now everything is done and I LOVE my smile! Peoplecompliment me all the time about it and I love that! They look so natural andfeel so good. I love that Dr Varipapa has the coolest high tech equipment and isso talented artistically. Everyone is very professional and nice. Thanks DrVaripapa for my beautiful smile!

I decided to get my front teeth redone but did not want to end up with one of those ridiculous fake smiles I had seen in so many ads. Expecting the best, I scheduled an appointment for a consultation at a big, well advertised dental group in Washington DC. I had to wait in a huge, crowded, uncomfortable waiting room. Then I was ushered in to one of many exam rooms. The Name dentist made an appearance, introduced himself, chatted briefly and then excused himself for a few minutes to check on some things. He disappeared down a long hallway lined with many exam rooms and waiting patients. An associate dentist came in and told me that he was actually the one who would do my teeth, and that they would be completely done in a few days. Pretty scary for a picky girl like me! I was told I could pick up copy of my estimate at the financial desk on the way out. The financial desk suggested I go to the financial office to discuss payment options with their financial associate. So much personal attention and I had not even committed to the job. I couldnt get out of there fast enough!Fortunately, an acquaintance (with beautiful teeth) highly recommended Dr. Varipapa. I immediately scheduled an appointment. Wow! What a different experience! I walked into a beautifully done townhouse and immediately felt my blood pressure drop a few points. Clarissa greeted me with her warm and friendly personality, making me feel right at home. Kala, Dr. Varipapas dental assistant, is sweet, caring and made me feel very comfortable.And finally, the Star of the Show (drumroll please...)Dr.Varipapa! He is so wonderful and spent a lot of time discussing my expectations and the options available. He put pictures of my smile on his computer so we could see what we were talking about. It was obvious that he knew the technicalities of creating new teeth but also that he was an artist who took into consideration the shape, color and translucency of the teeth, all important aspects of creating a beautiful smile.Well, of course, Dr. Varipapa re-did my front teeth and exceeded all expectations! I was so happy that I had him do all of my other teeth. The result was a beautiful, natural smile that looked like it belonged in my mouth. This was one of the best things I have ever done for myself! Everyone says I look ten years younger! My experience working with Dr. Varipapa, Kala and Clarissa could not have been better, not to mention their fine sense of humor. I have recommended him to many friends and acquaintances and all of them were as thrilled as me. Dr. Varipapa is truly one in a million!
