Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Dr. Vahab "Dr. Vahab loves what he does, which is giving kids, teens and adults of the Herndon/Reston community new smiles that they will have for the rest of their lives.
Dr. Vahab has a conservative approach and prefers, when possible, to begin orthodontics in children when all the adult teeth have erupted. Leveraging the most modern technology, Dr. Vahab transforms smiles with braces, invisalign, Invisalign teen, clear braces, and dentofacial orthopedics.
Dr. Vahab believes that the medical/dental world is becoming increasingly rushed, which is compromising the doctor-patient relationship. In order to ensure that all of his patients feel comfortable and taken care of, Dr. Vahab is committed to being personally accessible to his patients by e-mail, text and cell phone evenings and weekends.
