OUR PATIENT REVIEWS
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!
by Shidarella Morris
The staff here and Dr. Zahir are all both warm, friendly, and professional. I love their dental hygienists---very personable and they do a great job! Their scheduling process is very easy and I never have a long wait when I am there.
by Kirstie Robinson
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
by Harvey Butner
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.
by Tracey McElroy
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.
by Vanessa Castillo
I had my first dental check up today in 6 years and am I glad I chose to ideal smiles dentistry! I needed quite some work done but they assured me everything will be okay and I’m in great hands and I was. This dentistry is professional, clean and has a great atmosphere. I needed 3 fillings and dr Zahir took care of me in an acceptional timely manor. She made sure I knew what to expect and kept checking up on me throughout the entire filling process. I am so relieved and now have a dentistry I can take my entire family to. Thank you all!! Look no further, this place is wonderful.
by Dana Boutalis
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.
by Stephanie Rhodes
I had a great experience the staff was friendly and made you feel comfortable. Fast and explained every question if you had any. I am going to recommend my friends and family to go there!
by Robert White
The staff is friendly and professional. The lady who took X-rays and cleaned my teeth was very pleasant and professional. The dentist was great and took time to explain the treatment needed to fix my teeth. I had lot of work done and I'm very happy with this practice. I would recommend it to everyone.
by Linda Bower
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!!!
by Marie Phillips
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!
by Vivian Perry
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 ❤️
by Allison Miller
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!
by Katherine Baker
I am amazed at this wonderful place! They not only fixed my smile, but they broke my fear of the dentist! I wanted to cry tears of joy when I saw the results! They helped boost my confidence back and im HAPPY TO SMILE AGAIN!

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.

by Ashley M.

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.
by Toni Hart
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.
by Becca Bergman
Dr. Zahir is absolutely fantastic as well as the entire staff at the office. I'm a very anxious patient in the dentist's office, but they worked with me to get what I needed done in the best way possible. I cannot express how grateful I am or how highly I recommend this office and these people. Fantastic experience. Will never go anywhere else.
by J Kasp

by Sarah Strong
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.
by Camilo Ruiz
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.
by Priscilla McCary
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.
by Cecelia Beck
Had extraction done to lower back tooth Yesturday, ready to eat a steak Today! Omg, easiest extraction I've ever experienced, and much less "brutal" than My experiences with other Dentists in the past! Thank You so much for everything Ideal Smiles ,Va. Beach!!!!!!!!!
by John Strout
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!
by Racheal Stackpole
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!
by Sharon D.
My experience was great staff and doctor was so pleasant I will definitely be back and will refer anybody I know. It's also very clean I'm there.
by Ronesha Gilliam
Appointment didn't take long at all. I was well informed and walked through the procedure beforehand. Very professional and great service.
by Dvyne Staton
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.
by Estrada Dadzie
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!!!
by Dolores Rivera
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.
by C. Beckett
They took amazing care of me last fall when I needed a substantial amount of dental work. Dr. Zahir is amazing and the staff really care about you. I also really appreciate them being able to give cost estimates so I can be prepared. I have found my new dentist for many years to come.
by Masha Osborn
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.
by Jesse James
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!

They exceeded my expectations. Very pleased, happy to go back and excited to recommend to others. Thank you!

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!!
by Brent Bunce
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.

by Ateeq Mohd
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!
by Victoria Kearney
A awesome dentist and a awesome staff. Very professional yet made my daughter and I feel very comfortable..
by Wayne Harris
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.

If you know that you need a crown, or if you have a toothache, please call us immediately. A damaged tooth will only get worse if left untreated.
There are a variety of different bridges. Dr. Zahir will guide you in deciding which option best fits your needs.
Dental implants are replacements for both the root and the tooth made to provide the needed support in your mouth. The implants are surgically placed in the upper and lower jawbone of your teeth. When attached, they look and feel like natural teeth and enhance and restore your smile.
