We realize that when selecting medical care, both the personality of the doctors and staff and the atmosphere of the office are very important considerations. With this in mind, we have provided a brief introduction to the practice and biographies of the doctors and employees. We hope that this information will help you feel more comfortable when you come to the office.

Dr. Kayes started the practice in Haymarket in January, 1982. He had grown up in northern Virginia and wanted to return to the area to practice. The Haymarket/Gainesville area was attractive because it seemed friendlier and less hectic than areas inside the beltway, and because its location allowed him to pursue his outdoor interests. For eleven years, the practice was truly a family affair, as Dr. Kayes practiced in a home office with his wife helping at the front desk.

In 1993, the growing practice moved to downtown Haymarket into a new modern office building. For the past ten years, the doctors and staff have enjoyed the combination of a well designed, spacious facility and state of the art clinical equipment. One of the highlights of the office is our computerized record system, which even includes computerized digital x-rays. With this incredible program, recordkeeping is clear and accessible; the doctors can even access patient records and x-rays from home. For more information about our equipment, click on technology in dentistry under Dental Services.

Of course, the best equipment and design is only secondary to the quality of the staff, and we can assure you that we have the most professional staff around anywhere. Everyone at the office really cares about people, and works to treat patients the way they would want to be treated themselves. We are proud that we don't need a sign in sheet because Karen at the front desk knows everybody, and are tickled by the compliment recently given by our equipment repairman, who said he loves hanging around our office because it is a fun place where everybody gets along and has a good time.

We know that emergencies can happen after hours. We always leave an emergency number on the office tape whenever the office is closed. If you need information on how to handle a toothache or dental emergency until you can see us, click on emergency care/toothaches under Dental Services.

Your smile is such an important part of who you are; we love being able to help you make it the best it can be. Our office offers teeth whitening, porcelain veneers, and aesthetic crown, bridge, and implant work. If you are interested in cosmetic or reconstructive services, we invite you to click on our Smile Gallery section, a portfolio of some before and after cases completed at this office.

We realize that patients need to understand the financial aspects of treatment, and need options for affording dental care. Our staff does take the time to discuss treatment costs, and we provide a written treatment estimate of work to be performed. We accept Master Card, Visa, and Discover. We can also arrange twelve month interest free financing for major work.

Of course the way to make dental care most affordable is through dental insurance, and we do have a dental plan available through Delta Dental. This insurance provides basic care for individuals, couples, or families.

Our office policy is to provide you with top quality dental care, taking the time to educate you about procedures, using the most advanced dental equipment for your comfort, and offering the most aesthetic options for your smile. Because managed care plans severely limit your choices for optimal dental care, we do not participate in most plans. We do participate with Delta Dental at this time.
