Awesome Smiles Dental Center

Experiencia fantástica: They are wonderful. Great dentist and staff. Awesome experience!

Experiencia fantástica: The Dentists and staff at Awesome are extremely competent, professional and welcoming.

Experiencia negativa: Tontra lied to me about my dental health in an attempt to charge me more. I go to the dentist regularly and just needed a new dentist in the area. Was a new patient with her and she told me that I have gum disease, needed braces, and have sleep apnea. All of which is completely false. She refused to listen to me and proceeded to try to gaslight me. Visited there once and then never again. SCAMMER!

Experiencia fantástica: I went to the Dentist for the first time in years yesterday and it was an amazing experience! All of the staff were soo kind, nice, patient, explained everything so I clearly understood everything if I could I would have gave it a 100/10. As someone who suffers with Anxiety and ADHD, it is a nerve racking experience. However from the moment I walked in the door I cannot explain how amazing the staff was and how comfortable they made me feel, so much so that my next appointment I am really not feeling anxious much at all about. Staff if you see this, thank you for this experience and thank you for being a safe place for families to go to take care of something so important for our health!

Experiencia fantástica: They’re properly named, “Awesome Smiles” delivers awesome service, support, and staff! Thank you Dr. Lowe & Officials

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve had a lot of unpleasant dental work in the past, so I’m incredibly apprehensive about visits. However, my experience at Awesome Smiles Dental Center has been absolutely wonderful! The front desk staff, dental hygienist, and dentist were all so kinds and put me completely at ease. I even had a cavity that needed a filling - something I haven’t had in years - and they took care of it without a hitch. That alone says so much about their gentle approach. If you are looking for a fantastic dental practice in Gainesville, Virginia, I highly recommend them.

Experiencia fantástica: Been coming since I was a kid. Now as an adult I still go here. Great service. Kind folk.

Experiencia fantástica: I really want to thank this office tremendously. I had an emergency situation where my Maryland bridge detached from a whitening strip. I gave them a call this morning and they managed to fit me in their schedule right away. When I arrived to the office I was greeted by friendly staff and even offered a water. Everyone who I interacted with was very friendly and professional. I got my bridge cemented back into place and at the end of my appointment they gave me some extra temporary cement in case I was ever in that situation again. All and all I was very impressed for my first time visit and would absolutely recommend this office to anyone looking to get dental work in the Gainesville area. Thanks again Awesome Smiles Dental Center!

Experiencia fantástica: As always… Most friendly front desk (Ms. Dori & Ashley) and excellent hygienist (Maria) and AWESOME doctor. Malik, Thank you

Experiencia fantástica: In my adult life, I’ve developed a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist due to some past negative experiences, but Dr. Lowe has truly restored my confidence and completely changed how I feel about dental visits. From the moment you walk into the office, the entire team is welcoming, kind, and professional. They go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and at ease, which means everything to someone like me. I recently had an appointment scheduled for a permanent crown and a filling, and due to an unexpected office emergency, it had to be rescheduled. Honestly, it was no big deal—but what really stood out was what happened next. Just a few days later, I received a thoughtful note along with a gift card from the office apologizing for the inconvenience and inviting me to have lunch on them. That level of care and attention is rare these days. It truly shows how much they value their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Lowe and the entire team to anyone—especially if you have dental anxiety. You’ll be in great hands.

Experiencia fantástica: They said, "don't you have a big day coming up next week?" I said, "yeah my 10 year wedding anniversary". They said, "we have some balloons for you to take home". Very sweet of them to think of me. Anyways longtime customer and still very happy with their services. My smile is awesome, thanks Dr. Lowe!

Experiencia fantástica: I had such a great experience with Dr Lowe. She is truly amazing. Her procedures are incredibly gentle and virtually painless. She recently completed three fillings on my left side, and even without assistance!!! The entire experience was seamless. It was about a two-hour procedure, and I was able to relax the entire time with my eyes closed. While I wasn’t fully asleep, it felt very calm, quiet, and surprisingly restful. She explained everything as she went, which made me feel comfortable and at ease throughout. Her patience, skill, and efficiency really stood out. I’m grateful for the care she provides and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dentist who makes the experience as comfortable as possible.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been coming to Awesome Smiles Dental Center for over 8 years and I don’t plan on ever going anywhere else. The office is clean, cozy, and modern. However, don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s all about aesthetics; the professionalism of their team (dental hygienists and reception area) coupled with the QUALITY of their work speaks volumes. Dr. Tontra Lowe is amazing! She’s thorough and places emphasis on preventative care and making sure your oral hygiene is cared for from beginning to end. If there are any concerns, she will not hesitate to let you know and arm you with the necessary knowledge and solution. Their appointment system is well thought out and efficient. And their team members are always welcoming! Special mention to Dori, EJ and Ryan for a pleasant experience.

Experiencia fantástica: They truly make you feel well right from the moment you walk through the door. Very nice staff, and Dr. Karen was very thorough explaining everything going on with my teeth and everything she was going to do. Kudos to Maria, the assistant, also very nice and caring. I found my new dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: Today was my first time visiting Awesome Smiles from the Time I was there I was Treated with plenty of Care and Respect not one time did I feel like I was forgotten Everyone Greated me with lots of Love nor did I feel Nervous I Definitely Enjoyed my visit with Awesome Smiles Dental

Experiencia fantástica: My family and I have been looking for a dentist after our dentist for 17 years retired. We were looking for a dental office up to date with new state of the art technology and medical treatment with a warm family feel. We have found that office at Awesome Smiles in Gainesville with Dr. Tontra Lowe and staff. The office lives up to their name. They made us and every patient they treat feel awesome. From the front desk scheduling coordinator Kathryn, Dori the front desk manager, EJ & Maria the Medical Assistants, Carisa the Hygienist, and most of all Dr. Tontra Lowe with her humor, knowledge, and professionalism. We are pleased to have found our new dental office.

Experiencia fantástica: Took a friend for her appointment and thought it was a really nice business. She was happy with the staff and services so I thought I would give them a try. All I can say is I’m extremely happy with the service I received. The staff and doctors are very friendly and knowledgeable. I have already scheduled another appointment for more work to be done. If you are looking for a dentist this is the place.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lowe and her staff are the best. They have great personalities, care for their patients, and will go the extra mile to ensure their comfort. Dr. Lowe has been my dentist for more than five years, and she'll be mine for many more.

Experiencia fantástica: I went to this dental office for a second opinion and had a wonderful experience. The technician was very kind and friendly, and even though I brought in my recent X-rays, they took a couple more at no charge just to be thorough and make sure everything looked good. My previous dentist told me I needed work done, but Dr. Lowe carefully reviewed everything and reassured me that my teeth were fine. She was professional, pleasant, and easy to talk to, which really put me at ease. I truly appreciate the honesty and care I received here, and I highly recommend this office to anyone looking for a trustworthy dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: They took their time and really gave me a top tier treatment. From the time I walked in until the time I left. You cannot go wrong with Awesome Smiles.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lowe and her team are the very best! Everyone is extremely friendly and they go above and beyond to make sure you have a great experience. I trust Dr. Lowe’s judgement and appreciate her taking the time to explain every step to me during treatment. I highly recommend Awesome Smiles!

Experiencia fantástica: This location has a convenient location and the staff here is amazing! It’s always welcoming and professional. They have the best attention to detail. Maria assisted me today and I couldn’t ask for anyone better. I highly recommend coming in to get work done or give it a try for just a check up. Be sure to look for Maria, one of Dr. Lowe assistant. She made my whole experience! I cannot recommend them enough!

Experiencia fantástica: María is the best! Super caring and passionate about the patients

Experiencia fantástica: Maria is the best! So knowledgeable and always there for her patients!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome Smiles staff and Dr. Lowe are so friendly, caring, and thoughtful. They go above and beyond not just to make sure your dental health is cared for, but that you as a person feel cared for. I especially appreciate their extra effort when it comes to the care of my young children. My kids adore Dr. Lowe, which makes dentist appointments easier. You won’t find a dentist that will care for you and your family to the extent of Awesome Smiles.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience. Work with a d Value Veterans. Much better than the VA facility. Professional and awesome staff!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is friendly and very professional from the moment you walk in and throughout your appointment. Doctor focuses on preventive care to help prevent issues from becoming bigger and costly. Dr. Lowe and the entire staff are AWESOME!!

Experiencia fantástica: The best dentist office I have ever been to, the service is outstanding and the attention to detail is out of this world.

Experiencia fantástica: Five star all around. Very professional staff and doctor. Love this dentist office.

Experiencia fantástica: Having Dr. Lowe at Awesome Smiles as my dentist has been the best decision I’ve made. Dr. Lowe and her team are friendly, caring and very professional. I live in Loudoun County but I’m willing to travel to Gainesville to be under her care. ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lowe and her entire staff provide amazing dental care!! They are all warm, welcoming, personable, while also being professional. We followed Dr. Lowe when she started her own practice many years ago, came back to her practice after a few years abroad, and have been extremely happy. They deserve more than 5 stars :)

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Lowe is great. She was able to replace a filling on the same day of seeing me. She is always pleasant. I have every confidence in her.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently took my son to this dental clinic and we were extremely satisfied with the entire experience. The dentists and all the staff were incredibly kind, professional, and attentive. The procedure went smoothly, and we felt well taken care of every step of the way. The clinic itself is very clean, well-organized, and welcoming. Overall, the quality of service was excellent, and we truly appreciate the care they provided. Highly recommended!

Experiencia fantástica: Best Dentist and an awesome staff

Experiencia fantástica: I had an amazing experience at Awesome Smiles! I met Dr. Lowe at Haymarket Day. She was very warm and welcoming. The office staff is also warm and welcoming. The hygienist was very thorough and explaining everything before the doctor came in. Once Dr. Lowe came in she also explained everything more in depth. I could not be pleased with my experience. Thank you Awesome Smiles

Experiencia fantástica: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I received 5-star treatment from start to finish at Awesome Smiles Dental Center. From the moment I checked in to the time I left, every part of the experience was exceptional. The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is inviting, and the care is top-notch. Whether you’re searching for a general or cosmetic dental center for yourself or your family, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lowe & her team at Awesome Smiles. They truly live up to their name! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Experiencia fantástica: Very convenient right on 29 and Linton Hall. I can catch it on my way to and from work. I've been going for about a year and had one emergency which they treated quickly and with care. Everyone I've met has been very approachable, positive, professional and helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: I was looking for a dental office that was closer to my home and was recommended by a dental hygienist friend to Awesome Smiles. I had a great experience with Dr. Lowe and her team. The friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere immediately made me feel at ease. Dr. Lowe had a professional and caring demeanor and did everything to make me feel as comfortable as possible. Her practice incorporates technology to educate patients about specific problem areas in their mouths, promoting a more effective, patient-centered treatment plan. As a U.S. veteran herself, Dr. Lowe partners with the Veterans Administration to provide accessible, local dental care for eligible disabled veterans, reflecting her strong commitment to both our country and our community. Dr. Lowe and her team are exceptional, and I gladly recommend her to others.

Experiencia negativa: I went here after reading all the amazing reviews (it was under my maiden last name if they try to give that “we don’t have you in our records” BS). The staff were very nice and so was Dr. Lowe. I appreciate the detail they put in to personalize the experience. Dr. Lowe ended up telling me I needed veneers on all my teeth (approx. $40k). I sat in my car and cried after the appointment. I went to three more dentists for other opinions and they completely disagreed. She did the same to my husband with his teeth (not with suggesting veneers but other types of costly and painful treatment). Maybe her style is overly preventative, but my husband and I both left this practice feeling like we have horrible teeth. Years later, I’m still triggered when I get a happy birthday email from them every year.

Experiencia fantástica: They make it very clear about when my appointments are by reminding me every so often in case it needs to be moved. They are also welcoming and friendly right when you meet them. I think it is a really beneficial place to go if you need a dentist that is affordable, reliable, and just a great overall experience!

Experiencia fantástica: Outstanding professionals. Always courteous. Best dentistry office in my experience, and I’m 74.

Experiencia fantástica: This office far exceeded my expectations in every way—from their care and professionalism to their patience and genuine authenticity. You can feel the maturity in how they handle each patient, and what stood out most is their commitment to finding real solutions, not just quick fixes. They took their time, listened, explained everything clearly, and made me feel completely at ease. It’s rare to find a dental team that actually feels like they care—but that’s exactly what I experienced here. Honestly, no matter how far life takes me from Virginia, I’d make the trip back without hesitation. That’s how much I trust this team. If you’re even considering where to go, let this be your sign. You won’t find better.

Experiencia fantástica: Professional, caring and great team. They put the patient interest first and provide excellent care.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent care! Highly efficient and knowledgeable patient focused dentistry that cares for Veterans!

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t believe that I fell asleep in the chair during a deep gum cleaning?!?! I’ve been to 3 other places and they are the best by far!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Tundra Lowe is by far the most phenomenal dentist I have ever been too! I've been going to Awesome Smiles since 2014. I had some pretty bad experiences while serving in the military and have high anxiety about going to the dentist. Dr. Lowe is very personal and walked me through every step of the way everything was carefully explained to me while also using state of the art equipment. Her staff is also very kind and attentive while taking care of me the moment I walked through the door. I would highly recommend Dr. Lowe to anyone that reads this.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lowe and her team are outstanding and have provided my family’s dental care for over a decade! Dr. Lowe is a phenomenal dentist and community member, and she makes you feel like family! I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Tontra Lowe is the Best Dentist in the area, bar none. Does what’s needed…no more, no less. Retired Army officer, and she’s so good she could pass for Air Force!! Her front office is razor sharp and incredibly positive, polite, accurate and knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: This is how good this dental office is. I sent them flowers for Valentine's Day for my ever loving gratitude of their service (I tried to do it anonymously but they called the florist and asked who the sender was). If that isn't the ultimate endorsement of a business I don't know what I could add that would make it better.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Basa and EJ did a great job today and explained my treatment plan well.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome smiles is a wonderful place. From my interactions with Dori when I walk through the door, to be greeted by the wonderful Dr. Lowe and finishing my visit with Maria makes for an awesome visit! The car is phenomenal!

Experiencia fantástica: My daughter and I have been seeing Dr. Lowe for 6 years now and it’s always been a great experience. The staff is lovely and professional, they are transparent about your costs, and do their best to make patients comfortable. I highly recommend this practice!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome Smiles is an Awesome Denistry! Dr. Lowe and her staff takes excellent care of all your dental needs with absolute compassion and professionalism. EJ did and outstanding job with the cleaning. Always Awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent Dentist office! The doctor and staff are amazing and they treat you like family. This will be our forever dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: I've been an Awesome Smiles patient for several years now and have had a number of treatments performed. The Dr. Lowe and her entire staff have always been very friendly and professional. They always take to time to explain any issues they've found, treatments, and any concerns I may have either before or after treatment. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Today EJ did a great job with my cleaning, making me comfortable and informing me of what’s next with cleanings, x-rays etc.

Experiencia fantástica: EJ was great and super friendly, made my cleaning a 10/10 experience!

Experiencia fantástica: My experience is always good! Consider going to Dr. Lowe and her awesome crew. My hygienist, EJ is top notch!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dentist EVER! 5 stars all the way!

Experiencia fantástica: We love Awesome Smiles! They're all so friendly- from the front desk staff to the dental assistants and especially the doctors!

Experiencia fantástica: As their name states, it is awesome at Awesome Smiles. When I see Dr. Lowe, it feels like I’m catching up and getting sound advice & recommendations from a good girlfriend. I completely trust Dr. Lowe. Her staff is equally awesome and all smiles. They’re even smiling when they call you, I can tell.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lowe and her staff are "awesome". I hate going to the dentist, but they are always patient and great with our family.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lowe and her staff are fantastic. I came in for my scheduled cleaning today, and EJ was extensive, explaining additional things I was experiencing. Thanks for having a great team, Dr. Lowe!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lowe went above and beyond to research treatment for me. She takes the time to explain what is being done and why. My family and I never have to worry about a bad experience at Awesome Smiles. Dr. Lowe and the staff are professional and do everything they can to make the experience safe and comfortable. I highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience! Friendly staff! Dr. BASA is awesome!!! She explains everything and makes you feel very comfortable!

Experiencia fantástica: Our son has autism, so finding a good dentist for him took some trial and error. Awesome Smiles has done great. He enjoys the visits and he handles their working very well.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Lowe and EJ were patient and considerate of my input during my visit at Awesome Smiles. Highly recommend Dr. Lowe and team for dental, sleep apnea and other needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone here is always friendly and professional. They listen and care. I look forward to my visits.

Experiencia fantástica: It was my 1st time with a new dentist in 20yrs and Dr. Lowe was great made me feel comfortable. The hygienist not so much

Experiencia fantástica: Never had to wait for my scheduled appointment, the staff is very pleasant. I like that they make helpful suggestions about oral care.

Experiencia fantástica: From the moment I walked in it was beautiful!! The staff were super nice they made me feel really welcome and comfortable. The Dental Assistant helped me understand everything during the exam and cleaning and Dr Lowe was also amazing with explaining all the processes! I’m glad I found Awesome Smiles!

Experiencia fantástica: Wow! It Were One Of The Most Awesome And Spirited Dental Care Experience I Ever Had. Thank You, Awesome Smiles Dental Center! If You Are A Military Veteran Like Myself, You Will Get Honorable Treatment For Your Service Here!

Experiencia fantástica: What started as an emergency visit for a crown that popped off has turned into my new dentist! I have severe dental anxiety and ever since my dentist retired 3 years ago I've been on the hunt for a new permanent dental provider. Not only is the office absolutely stunning and state of the art, everyone I interacted with was fantastic. Nobody dismissed my fears, they explained everything they were doing and even went over step by step what was covered by insurance. No surprise billing! Looking forward to my full exam in a few days and getting my smile back in order.

Experiencia fantástica: Denial care can be intimidating. However, Awesome Smiles Dental Center is simply AWESOME. With a professional and welcoming team, they provide top tier services and deliver thorough care. I appreciate their genuine nature and will continue to support them as they’ve supported me on my denial health care journey. Thank you. Y’all are AWESOME!

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice Dental office with state of the art equipment. I was treated by Dr. Lowe for TMJ and got Botox in my jaw to relieve the pain. He was very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. The front desk staff was very helpful with working with my insurance. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lowe is awesome and the best dentist in PWC. I've always afraid to go to the dentist due to fear of pain and the unknown( what to expect or the outcome). Dr. Lowe explains every procedure thoroughly and performed pain free procedures. Thanks Dr.Lowe.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service, they did multiple exams on me. The doctor was very nice.

Experiencia fantástica: I was wowed by the office set up and decor upon my arrival but this was just the very beginning of a great initial appointment. The office staff was very professional and welcoming. The dentists, Dr Lowe and Dr Malik, provided exceptional service for myself and two kids. They were very detailed in their work, and took the time to thoroughly explain everything out. I was very impressed overall and plan on referring them business to my family, friends, and colleagues any chance I get! This was the first time I felt very confident that me and my kids were in great hands for our dental needs without any doubt.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff, made you feel comfortable and Dr. Lowe took the time to listen and explain the what was happening and why.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Malik was beyond awesome! Beautiful new location. Professionalism at its best.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Lowe is a great dentist. Her staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend this dental office.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome smiles - awesome job! Everyone is very friendly and they always doing awesome job! Greatly appreciate ! I love the new office ❤️ Kind regards, Egle

Experiencia fantástica: From front desk to back end the entire staff is great; Maria, Dasia, Ashley, Kathryn, Dori - everyone! I've had the pleasure of being seen by both Dr. Lowe in the past and Dr. Basa currently and both exceed the example of professionalism and caring. Before seeing them, I was not diligent about keeping up with my dental care and was extremely nervous about going back. After my first visit, I felt reassured by the end of that appointment that I was in good hands and definitely would be coming back . Awesome Smiles has helped me get over my anxiety crippling fear of going to the dentist and that means more than words can explain.

Experiencia fantástica: Great office and great staff - highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY VISITS HERE !! ALL Members of the team are inviting, knowledgeable & personable! They're prompt, professional and light handed. Dr. Lowe & her team are amazing !!

Experiencia fantástica: Everything about Awesome Smiles is, well, Awesome! I no longer fear going to the dentist. Dr. Lowe and her staff are very caring and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: Ive have been to many dentists, but going to Dr Lowe's has been a game changer. After having so much tooth pain, its been a relief not to be in pain anymore. The staff are wonderful people, professional and comforting with class. I have referred others and they have the same experience. Blessings and much success too you all.

Experiencia fantástica: Best dental practice I’ve ever had the pleasure to use. Dr. Malik and Dr. Lowe are the only dentist I’ll be using for my oral health. I can’t get over how painless and quick my latest procedure was. Dr Malik your a great dentist. I saw a negative review left by somebody who probably had a bad day and wanted to blow off steam. Don’t let bad review be misleading best dentist office in Northern Virginia. Thanks you both for just being great and acutely caring!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very attentive, professional staff. Highly skilled medical staff

Experiencia fantástica: My service today with Dr. Malik was every bit of Amazing. The whole staff was amazing as well. I would definitely recommend this practice.

Experiencia fantástica: Always in excellent hands. Dr Loew is awesome and the staffs are very professional.

Experiencia fantástica: Saw Dr. Malik for a first exam and it was a great experience. I’ve never really enjoyed going to the dentist but under his care I felt very comfortable to ask questions, and left feeling motivated with a clear treatment plan that I could put my trust in. He was happy to answer all my questions and address any concerns. He made me feel like all my previous dentists were lacking and not doing enough for me! Looking forward to having my dental care here for many years to come and would recommend for everyone to schedule a visit

Experiencia negativa: I have always struggled with going to the dentist office after a traumatic experience as a child. When I moved to northern VA area this office had good reviews. I never had a single good experience here even though I used them for nearly 10 years. First experience was with Dr. Lowes son when he was still in high school. He kept slipping with the instruments and cutting up my gums. (Of note I had him a few years ago when he was on break from school and he was great then, but I didn't appreciate my first encounter). There are always new hygienists and Dr. Lowe is constantly "teaching" new people - she gets annoyed very easily at her hygienists which is why I assume they don't stay there long. They charge for "education" - which is a part of their daily job in my opinion. They tried to get away with massively overcharging me on a few occurrences (several thousand dollars) - I had exceeded my yearly allotment and so they charged me out of pocket and when I said they still needed to bill insurance then I got the agreed upon rate. Would not recommend to my worst enemy. I have moved out of the area and easily found a new great dentist.
