About Arlington Dental Excellence
Same-day emergency extractions and root canals, sometimes for out-of-state patients, are a recurring theme at this general dental practice offering Invisalign and other orthodontic treatments.
Arlington Dental Excellence is a general dental practice that also offers orthodontic treatment through Invisalign, traditional and clear braces, and retainers, though most reviews focus on general dentistry. Reviewers frequently describe the office staying open late or fitting in same-day visits for emergency extractions and root canals, and several long-term patients say they travel considerable distances to keep seeing the same dentist. Cost-conscious patients mention financing plans and no-interest options, though a number of reviews also describe billing confusion or delayed insurance quotes. A handful of reviews raise concerns about front desk responsiveness and rushed follow-up visits.

I unfortunately had to get two root canals on two of my front teeth after I fell on 7/1/26. I hit my mouth on the cement. I still can’t explain how that happened. Today 7/25/26 Dr Mo did the surgery. It was painless! And it was over in 15 minutes! I had worked myself up about this but I had no choice. I had not been able to bite with my two front teeth and had developed a cold sensitivity when I drank anything. Now I have to come back in a week to get the other half of the root canal done. That’s where they check that everything is ok then remove the temp filling, permanently fill the hole that was drilled and add a crown. I hate myself for falling and causing this injury and incurring the cost associated with it but I’m glad I am in capable hands to fix it so I can move on. They really numb you very well. And as I write this, more than 12 hours later, the numbing has worn off and I never needed pain meds at all.
Excellent dental treatment by Dr. Mohamed Ibrahim. Everything was done carefully and professionally. Highly recommended!
I have loved going to Dr Alex for my dental care since December 2025 when my long time dentist retired. She has taken great care of me and it is with much sadness that I have to say I must leave her because I am moving away. But those who are still here – I strongly recommend Dr Alex to you.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Alexandra Murty for the past four years. I also recently completed an Invisalign treatment in addition to my bi-annual cleaning visits. Every visit is a pleasant experience and the staff are some of the kindest, friendliest people. Would recommend any local to Arlington or local to the area.
Very professional and good bedside manner, but if you're like me, and chose this office for the availability of Saturday hours, know that you're in good company, Very busy Saturday waiting room, and the front desk will continually ask you to schedule your next appointment for a weekday
