The DC Dental Spa Experience is a free consultation with Dr. Rex Hoang, DMD, at our office in Foggy Bottom.
You sit down with the dentist, talk through what is bothering you or what you want to change, and hear your options and what each one costs.
There's no fee for the visit and no obligation to start treatment.
Want to know what your care will cost? Sit down with the dentist first, and that visit is on us.

Every new patient starts in one of three places. If you're not sure which one fits, call us, and we'll point you to the right one.
| Visit | Best for | What happens | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free consultation | A concern, a goal, or a big decision ahead, like missing teeth, a smile you want to change, or a treatment plan from another office | You meet Dr. Hoang, talk it through, and hear your options with the cost of each | No charge |
| New patient visit | Finding a new dental home and catching up on a checkup and cleaning | Exam, prophylaxis, x-rays, and fluoride | $125 for patients with no periodontal disease |
| Emergency visit | Pain, swelling, or a broken tooth | Emergency exam with an intraoral X-ray, or a free consultation to talk through options first | $160 including 1 intraoral X-ray, or no charge for the consultation |

The $125 visit includes a prophylaxis, which is the regular cleaning for healthy gums.
If you have gum disease, a regular cleaning can't reach the infection below the gumline. You would start with a free consultation and a plan for gum disease care.
Choosing a dentist comes down to a few questions. Is this person a good fit for you, will they be there when you need them, and do they care about your health or about selling you treatment? Those answers don't come over the phone. That's why the first visit is free.
A tooth that has been bothering you for months, a smile you have been hiding in photos, or a quote from another office that didn't sit right. Start wherever you are.
You meet the dentist directly at your first visit. Dr. Hoang looks at your teeth, gums, and bite together and explains what is going on in plain language.
For anything significant, Dr. Hoang lays out more than one way forward, with what each option costs and how long it takes.
Start treatment, take the plan home to think about it, or get a second opinion. There's no pressure either way.
For any significant case, Dr. Hoang presents three treatment plans: a basic option, a middle option, and a premium option. Each one comes with the cost, the timeline and the trade-offs, and the choice is yours.
Dr. Hoang tells patients:
"I let the patient be the boss."
The order of priorities stays the same for every plan:
One patient, 87 years old and in a wheelchair, came in with failing teeth. Dr. Hoang offered three plans: a full implant restoration at around $35,000, an implant-supported snap-in denture at around $16,000, and full extractions with a conventional denture. The patient chose the middle plan because it fit the budget and made eating comfortable again.
Dr. Hoang treats government workers, university staff, young professionals, retirees and families, and every plan starts from what you need and what works for your budget.
DC Dental Spa is a fee-for-service practice, and we file your insurance claim for you.
We don't participate in PPO networks, so an insurance company doesn't set our fees or decide how long your visit lasts. Many plans still reimburse part of your care at an out-of-network rate, and we submit the claim so you get the most from your benefits.
You will know the cost of each option at your consultation, so nothing on your bill comes as a surprise.
More than 35 years in Washington, DC. Dr. Hoang earned a DMD at the University of Pennsylvania and opened the practice in DC in 1990. A third-generation dentist, Dr. Hoang still completes 70 to 80 hours of continuing education a year.
All dental care under one roof. Implants, gum treatment, root canals, extractions, Invisalign, veneers, and full-mouth reconstruction all happen here, so you won't be passed between offices or repeat your history three times.
Technology you can see. CBCT 3D imaging shows the bone around your teeth, and an iTero scan can preview your Invisalign result ahead of time.
Built around DC schedules. We offer early morning appointments from 7 AM, and our phone line is answered 24 hours a day.
Free parking on site, which is rare this close to downtown.
After a first visit, new patients tell Dr. Hoang one thing more than anything else: "I wish I had come here sooner."
DC Dental Spa is at 730 24th St NW, Suite 9, Washington, DC 20037, next to the George Washington University campus. Patients come from Foggy Bottom, the West End, Georgetown, Dupont Circle, and the K Street corridor.
Yes. There's no charge to meet Dr. Hoang, talk through your concerns, and hear your options. If you decide to move forward, you will know the cost of your treatment first.
No. You can start right away, take your plan home to think about it, or get a second opinion. The decision is yours.
Two people with the same tooth problem can need very different treatment, so a number given without seeing you is usually wrong. A free consultation gives you a real answer from the dentist who would treat you.
The free consultation is a conversation with Dr. Hoang about a concern or a goal. The $125 new patient visit is a checkup with an exam, prophylaxis, X-rays, and fluoride, for patients without gum disease.
We are a fee-for-service office and don't participate in PPO networks. We file the claim for you, and many plans reimburse part of your care at an out-of-network rate.

Yes. Dr. Hoang sees new patients for consultations, checkups, and emergencies at our Foggy Bottom office.
Whether it is a tooth that has been bothering you, a smile you want to change or a quote you would like a second look at, the first step costs nothing. Meet Dr. Hoang, hear your options and decide from there.
