I started coming to the practice in Fairfax, VA about 6 months ago and don’t have enough good things to say. They started with a short orientation on the latest dental research and their favorite products, and then went on with the cleaning. Dr. Lee is awesome - mild-mannered and always informative on how to take care of teeth in the most cost-effective way. Dani is the dental hygienist who I’ve had, and another wonderful person. Everybody in the office is courteous and friendly. I don’t know if they’re taking new patients at the moment but definitely worth exploring if you’re looking for a new dentist.

They are always so nice and professional! I had a cleaning today with Dani who was the absolute best!!

Awesome dentistry! Top quality and friendly doctors/staff. Would recommend

Staff are really kind - Dani is the best!

Excellent first visit with this practice! My husband and I had to find another provider who was in network and we were fortunate to find someone so conveniently located with ample parking and a beautifully designed space! The staff is wonderful, Dr. Lee is very patient and incredibly thorough and gentle, and I was given the opportunity throughout the appt to ask questions. They even give presentations at the beginning to explain everything they will be doing. LOVE that! An exceptional and unique experience.

👉 Learn about our preventive dentistry

Signs of gum disease include persistent bleeding, swelling, or redness. The Banaji team assesses gum health during regular exams and can recommend appropriate care or preventive steps if early signs are present. Our preventive services help detect and address gum issues before they worsen.

Pain that happens only when biting or chewing often points to a structural issue rather than surface sensitivity. Common causes include a small crack in the tooth, a high filling, or pressure on a nerve. At Banaji Family & Aesthetic Dentistry, bite pain is carefully evaluated through exams and imaging to pinpoint the exact source before it worsens.

It can be. Pain when biting, especially if paired with lingering sensitivity or swelling, may indicate inflammation or infection near the tooth root. Early evaluation is important to prevent the issue from spreading. Banaji Family & Aesthetic Dentistry focuses on early diagnosis and conservative treatment whenever possible.

If bite pain lasts more than a day or two, is getting worse, or feels sharp and localized, it’s time to schedule an exam. Early care often means simpler treatment. Banaji Family & Aesthetic Dentistry is experienced in diagnosing bite-related pain and guiding patients through clear next steps.
