Pahlavani Dental — neighborhood dental care in Bloomingdale DC.
Smyleee Rating
Very Good
Pahlavani Dental Inc is located at Suite B, 402 Rhode Island Avenue Northwest in Washington DC's 20001 zip code — the Bloomingdale and Eckington neighborhood of Northwest/Northeast DC, along the Rhode Island Avenue corridor north of downtown. Rhode Island Avenue NW at the 400 block is in the residential transition zone between the Shaw and Bloomingdale neighborhoods, an area that has seen significant reinvestment since the early 2010s as the housing stock of Victorian-era rowhouses has attracted young professional homebuyers seeking more space than downtown rentals offer.
The Pahlavani name is of Iranian/Persian heritage, reflecting DC's significant Iranian-American professional community, and a named dental practice under a Persian surname serves both the Iranian-American patient base that seeks culturally familiar healthcare providers and the broader mixed Bloomingdale, Eckington, and Shaw community that surrounds the practice. Suite B typically indicates a lower-level or secondary commercial suite in a rowhouse conversion or mixed-use building, common in DC's residential neighborhood commercial spaces.
General dental care at Pahlavani Dental covers comprehensive oral examinations, professional cleanings, restorative treatments, diagnostic imaging, and management of dental health for the Bloomingdale and surrounding NW/NE DC patient base. The Rhode Island Avenue NW location is accessible from the Shaw-Howard University Metro station and the surrounding neighborhood street network.
For Bloomingdale, Eckington, and Shaw patients who want a named dental practice with Persian-heritage identity in the Rhode Island Avenue corridor, Pahlavani Dental at Suite B provides accessible neighborhood care in the residential commercial fabric of this rapidly evolving DC neighborhood.

I’ve been going to Pahlavani Dental for years now. My dentist is Nadia, she’s great! Everyone working there is always friendly and professional.
I've been going here for almost a decade now and every visit has been phenomenal! The staff is skilled, kind, compassionate, understanding, and knowledgeable! I've never been happier with a dental practice than I am with Pahlavani Dental!! Highly recommend them!!
Came in to fix a chipped tooth and was attended by the owner herself, who did a great job quick, efficient, and professional.
My daughter had a great time at her first-ever dentist visit!
I’ve been doing my Invisalign treatment with Dr. Pahlavani for the past year and I’m truly very happy with the results. Dr. Pahlavani and the team genuinely care about their patients and always provide heartfelt, professional service. The office is also extremely clean and welcoming. I’m very satisfied with my experience and would highly recommend this clinic!
We love Pahlavani Dental. All whole family (2 adults and 2 young kids) go. From the receptionist to dentist and dentist assistant everyone is very professional and warm. I don’t have enough words for Dr. Gutierrez, she is and excellent dentist, thorough, warm and beyond patient with my kids who absolutely love her. Don’t look anywhere else!
Pahlavani Dental is great! I recently switched my family over, and we have now each had our first appointments. The facility is really nice, high-tech and modern, and Dr. Gutierrez was great with our 2-year old daughter and with us adults! I’m glad we switched.
I came in for a first-time teeth cleaning. There was no receptionist scheduled in the hour before my appointment time, so I stood outside in a bitter wind until someone let me in the waiting area. The staff didn't seem to know where I should go for my teeth cleaning - they ended up moving me after taking images. The chair I ended up in felt like it was in the open: there was a constant stream of patients and staff walking by my chair during my procedure. The dentist seemed knowledgeable, though I wasn't convinced that the 3D scan or the AI image processing was necessary, he seemed to find it helpful so that's fine. He did some of my teeth cleaning himself then handed me off to a technician, who kept looking up and greeting other patients while she polished my teeth. I'm pretty sure she missed a few teeth entirely. In the end, I've never had my mouth feel so unclean after a teeth cleaning. My final takeaway is that I'd prefer my teeth to be looked after by a dental team with more mindfulness and focus.
If you want an office that is fun and vibrant yet knowledgeable and persist. Pahlavani Dental is the place for you ! The staff is super friendly and fun. The doctors are professional and educated individuals whom have a passion for people in what they do. Pahlavani Dental cured my dental anxiety and made coming to the dentist and experience I look forward to !
