Dr. Makarita Testimonials
What my Patients Say About me
Erica H.
Dr. Makarita changed my life. For years, I had been extremely hesitant to leave the house alone because I was worried that someone would engage me in conversation, and I envisioned their disgust if I were to accidentally smile or show my teeth. I discontinued my college education because I was fearful of showing my teeth during class discussions; in fact, I withdrew from any activity that might cause me to show my teeth.
I went to many dentists before Dr. Makarita, and I was told that I needed to extract y teeth and get dentures! I refused to believe that and I was fortunate to find Dr. Makarita. He showed me pictures of cases he had done and took the time to listen and I knew I was in the right hands.
Soon after my full-mouth rehabilitation, I realized how long it had been since I had allowed myself to smile (I literally had to massage my cheeks to relieve the muscle fatigue from smiling so much)! A smile is much like life itself, in that you never fully appreciate it until you are faced with losing it.
I am forever grateful to modern dentistry and to Dr. Makarita for restoring my confidence, self-esteem, and with that, the course of my life. I have recommended him to many and will continue to do so.
Never I my wildest dreams could I have anticipated having such a beautiful smile… I went from a person who was afraid to smile, to being featured on the cover of the prestigious Journal of Cosmetic Dentistry! The world seems a nurturing, bright, and loving place when you are able to receive it with a smile. I now have the confidence to enjoy life rather than simply to survive it.

A smile is the window to how you feel. I noticed, as the older I got, the less I smiled. I had a severe grinding issue, that caused pain in my jaw joints and a smile you could no longer see. I was embarrassed. I was 33 years old when I met Dr. Makarita, he saw my new smile before I did. He was amazing, I felt so comfortable with him and his amazing talent to listen, and create what I have always wanted. Dr. Makarita is someone that I will always be grateful to for helping me see my window again

In every profession, there are those who achieve great things, and those who simply get by. Dr. Hamada Makarita is a visionary in dentistry. As a fellow dentist, I can tell you his aesthetic eye, coupled with gifted hands and the ability to see what others cannot, makes him a superb clinician and teacher. He is my dentist, and I appreciated all that he has done for me. I would recommend him to anyone who appreciates a dentist who excels far beyond the norm in artistically creating natural looking and healthy smiles.

We have been seeing Dr. Makarita since he graduated from dental school. My kids are in their 30’s now and we still insist on seeing him as our dentist. He has been excellent in every way. We watched him get the highest credentials! My whole family highly recommends him!

I have had aesthetic dental work done several times (by several dentists) over the years, but could never get them to the point where I was completely happy. I came down from Baltimore, MD to see Dr. Makarita a couple months ago after being unhappy with my previous veneers (that were big & bulky)... We sat down and mapped out a full plan for how we would accomplish getting my teeth right this time. He is attentive, diligent, thorough, and a perfectionist when it comes to crafting a great smile. It was also a great perk, that he has the most innovative dental technology available to him in his office/lab that helps throughout this process. I told Dr. Makarita when we first met, that I would be a tough patient for him - which I think he would agree with now 🙂 , but he was always available and happy to answer my questions while I was getting the work done. Dr. Makarita and his staff made it easy to schedule (quickly) and an enjoyable experience when I visited. I would highly recommend Dr. Makarita to anyone who is looking for A+ dental work and I can guarantee you will leave happy with your smile. And of course will you also get to work with the Tanya, the BEST dental assistant I have ever come across 🙂 They make a great team!

Dr. Makarita is hands down the most knowledgeable top dentist in the DMV. He has been my dentist for 25 years, and I wouldn't trust anyone else. Together we customized and designed my smile. If you are looking to have any cosmetic dentistry, I highly suggest you consult with him. I couldn't be happier with my new smile!

My new smile is beautiful and I owe it all to Dr Makarita and team. They are absolutely fabulous. I knew from my first consultation visit that these people are special. Everyone was so friendly, welcoming and engaging. I truly felt like their only client. Over the years my teeth became worn, discolored, and crooked. Dr Makarita was able to open my bite with a full mouth restoration and my smile is dazzling. I have received compliments on my beautiful smile from friends, family and complete strangers. I have been told I look years younger and I couldn’t be happier. If you are considering veneers do not hesitate to get a consultation with Dr Makarita. He is truly talented!

BEST cosmetic dentist! FREE consultation.
Don't ever think it's all the same when it comes to cosmetic dentistry. It's not.
My story: I consulted around the country with "fellow" credentialed cosmetic dentists. As a lawyer for 30 years, I fully understand how the credentialing process works as to cosmetic dentists, and how to research and find the best in the country for the job. I consulted in person in Florida, Maryland and Virginia...one consult fee was $800, while this consultation was FREE. I wanted the best, so researched nationwide options, as the "cosmetic" work I needed was complicated-including replacement of a baby tooth. Additionally, I am a perfectionist in every respect: color, shape, symmetry...the list goes on. I literally did years of research prior to making this jump. He is an expert in every factor--and I highly recommend a visit to Tysons Aesthetic Dentistry. I never do reviews--on anything--but you owe it to yourself to have a consultation with this office. Many of my friends had bad results from others that hold themselves out as cosmetic dentists....don't fall into the thought that it's all the same. Again--It's not.

I am very pleased with Dr. Makarita’s work. His friendly demeanor and professionalism are excellent. I was truly amazed with the smile he gave me, the final product is stellar and exceeded my expectations. His assistant, Tania, is kind and made me very comfortable during the procedure. I had done veneers before with another dentist 4 years ago and I was unsatisfied with the work. I paid for 8 teeth and only 6 remained (the other 2 just fell out). I was gonna let that go but when I noticed my teeth starting to space out, leaving gaps, I had to do something. It got to the point I wouldn’t show my teeth in pictures anymore. Dr. Makarita came to the rescue, assessed me, raised my gums, made my teeth whiter, and gave me beautiful teeth (and they don’t fall out)! I Highly recommended Dr. Makarita to so many of my friends and family. I’m so grateful to having sucha talented person give me the smile I always wanted. ☺️

I recently got veneers, and could not be more pleased with how they turned out!!!!
Dr. Makarita and his team were so nice and funny made my experience so comfortable. They always made sure I was well taken care of and completely happy. I am more confident with my smile and no one can ever notice that they are veneers as they look so natural. I came in with real bad teeth and left with a bright new smile, Dr. Makarita is amazing at what he does!!!! I would recommend him to everybody who wants to get their teeth done!!

Excellent work. Dr. Makarita is a talented dentist offering wonderful personalized care & a gifted aesthetic eye; the trifecta. I’ve heard it’s very challenging to match one front tooth to the other but he has done it beautifully for me. Very professional and a pleasure to visit. I’m so thankful!! My thanks also to his top notch team of assistants. I highly recommend Dr. Makarita. Put him on your list of experts! Best wishes.

Getting veneers was a big step for me because I was terrified, and I had a unique situation. Since I had a tooth pulled as a young girl, my teeth had shifted making the midline way off. Dr. Makarita was confidant that he could move the midline into a much better position, and he did! Tanya, is assistant, always made me feel comfortable and trusting, and Erica and Kevin were great too. I highly recommend this whole team.

I came to Tysons Aesthetic after being told from my regular dentist that my only option for fixing my chipped teeth and gum shape were veneers. Dr. Makarita took a look at my teeth and recommended a gum contouring and reshaping the bottoms of my teeth, which was significantly cheaper than had I gone with veneers (he even knocked a few bucks off the gum contouring)! I was also able to get my gum contouring completed immediately after my consultation! Dr. Makarita provided a genuine solution to my concerns, and he could have easily charged me for a more expensive procedure. I’m so happy with my results, and can’t recommend Dr. Makarita enough! He cares for his patients and provides exceptional work.

So here I am writing my first review ever, I just have to, because this is definitely the best dentist/specialist I have ever visited. Since I was a kid I go to different dentists very often because it’s truly hard to find the right one for you. When I was looking over the internet for professionals who can do gum lift, I found Dr. Makarita, so I scheduled consultation. The doctor explained to me everything and because of my busy schedule he did the procedure right after consultation! Everything went great and his assistant/nurse Tanya is amazing too! They made me feel so comfortable and were checking on me all the time after procedure if healing is going good and I feel good. I can’t be more happy with service they provide, the care, and the results !!!!!! I can finally be confident about my smile. I can say there is nobody better than DR MAKARITA!!!!! 12/10 you not gonna regret. Thank you DOCTOR MAKARITA

I was looking for a solution for a severe TMJ issue. I didn't realize that it was my earlier braces and dental work when I was younger that actually contributed to the problem. I was referred to Dr. Makarita, who explained what was causing my pain and made the splint for my jaw that helped with the immediate pain. Since I really liked my teeth and smile, it took me a year to work up the trust and courage to take the next step for a more permanent solution. Despite my initial reservations, I'm very happy with the results and am so thankful to no longer have the TMJ pain. Thank you Dr. Makarita and team. You were right!

Dr. Makarita is the consummate dental professional with skills and academic achievement in dentistry at the highest level, combined with a warm and comforting demeanor.
Do not hesitate to select this exceptional dental practice if you are in need of a single crown or a full mouth reconstruction as I was.
You will be at the center of his amazing attention to every single detail of your individual case from start to finish and you will be very comfortable with your decision to put yourself in his very capable hands while you are in his dental chair and long after you leave it.
Like other patient reviews have stated I would give Dr. Makarita and his exceptional staff 10 stars if I could!
Thank you D. Makarita, Tonya and Erica for the important roles you each played in my remarkable experience.

I came to Dr. Makarita after reading about his impressive credentials and stellar reviews. Previously, for months, I experienced my jaw locking, involuntary movements, tired jaws and severe neck and shoulder pain associated with TMD. After calling around and visiting many dentist who claimed to treat TMJ, I’m thankful to have met the real deal.
This office by far exceeded my expectations in the following ways:
1. Communication
- I was always able to speak with someone during business hours. At my free consultation, Dr. Makarita thoroughly explained my condition, practical treatment plan and showed me why and how my treatment would proceed. If I had concerns, Dr. Makarita followed up the same day.
2. Honest expectation
-Because I never have gone though anything like this, it was paramount that expectations were identified allowing me to move though each process of my treatment plan successfully and without severe anxiety.
3. Personalization
-All staff was professional, personable and inviting. This practice has a very intimate setting. I never felt rushed or that the office over booked.
4. Industry leading technology
-I felt comfortable and safe especially during the pandemic. My office visits were efficient, and we were able to move forward with my plan as scheduled.
I know that my case wasn’t an easy or quick one by far. After treatment of my TMD symptoms, I decided to get a full restoration of my upper arch. My aesthetic concerns were a shifted midline, short misshapen teeth and discolored bonding. Dr. Makarita came up with a personalized plan which addressed my TMD pain and fulfilled my dream to have a gorgeous smile. Dr. Makarita is a master at his craft combining dentistry and artistry in the most precise way.

Dr Makarita is one in a million, he is the best I have come across in the Washington metropolitan area ( I’ve lived in the area for 43 years). At first his kind and fun personality draws you in; then you witness his attention to details which far surpasses any other dentist I’ve been to. He’s very knowledgeable and his work is very clean. His office is an environment of elegance and class. It’s also relaxing with awesome selection of music.
Dr Makarita truly makes you feel that you are unique and special and will make sure that you are happy before you leave his practice.
I can’t forget his lovely and smart assistant, Tania. Her gentle style and voice put you at ease.
To sum it up - I always look forward to my visit because I know I am in caring hands, nice people, and happy results. 🥰😃

10 stars if I could!! I’m too embarrassed to post before pics but I had VERY crooked chipped front teeth 😅 My teeth were my biggest insecurity ever and I would never smile in pictures or even feel comfortable talking to people because of my teeth. Was recommended Dr. Makarita and so glad I went to see him! From the beginning he was very careful and precise to make sure I would leave with the smile of my DREAMS!!!! He and his assistant made the process easy and painless. So happy and grateful ❤️

If you're self-conscious at all about your smile, that almost certainly means you don't smile as much as you want. What kind of life is that? Take it from someone who has gone through this: this is life changing. I'm not exaggerating. It helps your personal life and your professional life profoundly. You'll notice that people start treating you differently. Maybe it's because you look so much better, but probably more likely because your smiles make you come across as friendlier. It's not cheap, and I did hesitate about the price, but it's so so worth it that I've never thought twice about how much I paid after I got it done (and I'm far from wealthy).
Once you make the decision to do it and start meeting with different cosmetic dentists, you'll realize quickly, as I did, that Dr. Makarita is head and shoulders above everyone else. He's amazing. He loves what he does and it shows in his work. I don't know whether he's the best in the world (he very well might be), but he's unquestionably the best in the area. Before I committed to using him, I asked my orthodontist who he would use. He immediately said Dr. Makarita.

I am very happy with the dental work provided by Tysons Aesthetic Dentistry. Dr Makarita did a fabulous job and continues to work with me to make adjustments as needed. He’s is a true smile maker and an artist who considers all aspects of your situation. I’ve struggled over the years with costly bonding repairs to cover old stains and cracks which never lasted and would yellow over time. Now I have an amazing smile that was designed to be so natural that friends and some family members are left wondering why I look different, younger and more confident. They often ask if I just whitened my teeth? I feel like I found the best there is when it comes to Tysons Aesthetic Dentistry and recommend them highly!

Dr. Makarita completed a full mouth reconstruction on me around 2007. Having a beautiful smile has been life-changing. I have seen many local dentists over the years that marvel over his work. He is as kind as he is brilliant and his dental work is unparalleled. If you are thinking of getting any cosmetic dentistry work done, look no further than Dr. Makarita, you will not regret it.

I've had so much dental drama that my teeth could star in their own telenovela! I am so thankful that I found Dr. Makarita to save me from all of this! I think he's the only dentist in the area with his credentials. If you are having any sort of cosmetic issue you MUST come to him FIRST. Otherwise you will be wasting a lot of time and energy. And your mouth is going to be messed up.
I had a chronic issue for about 20 years and a related acute issue for six months and he was able to solve both issues in a matter of two visits over two weeks. It was amazing. I actually misheard him when he gave me the price for the dental work that I needed and I thought the total cost to me was going to be $18,000. I was 100% on board and willing to pay that amount for his work because I saw what he did for other patients and he had a plan and he was confident in his abilities. Thankfully, I just misheard him and the total was closer to $8,000 but I still would have been happy with the results if I had had to pay much, much more. I ended up buying a camper with the money I thought I was going to have to spend on my teeth since I had already set it aside. So thanks for the camper and the teeth, Dr. Makarita!

Dr Makarita is an outstanding dentist. His concern for the "whole" patient starts with the well trained and highly communicative staff. I appreciated the care in ensuring that i was well informed of the overall process and the details of each procedure. Both of my procedures - installing crowns and deep cleaning - were done with a soft touch and much care. The facilities are state of the art and when combined with the easy manner of the staff and their genuine concern for my well being, I could not be more pleased.

Dr. Makarita is best explained as a miracle worker!
In my search, I must have researched and quoted at least a dozen cosmetic dentists. When deciding on such an investment, you want to make sure you’re in excellent hands.
I can attest that Dr. Makarita is the best of the best! His numerous accolades are impressive, but his ability to make you feel welcome and at ease is a game-changer.
He recently gave me a smile makeover, and I am beyond thrilled with the results! I completely changed my smile to something I’ve wanted for many years. He’s thorough, knowledgeable, compassionate about his work, and most importantly, pleasant to visit.
Tanya and his staff were also just as pleasant and knowledgeable throughout the process. They truly made me feel like family.
I rarely write reviews but feel compelled to do so with my recent experience. I would highly recommend this office and Dr. Makarita to anyone looking for any type of dental work. You’ll be more than pleased with the results! He is a true gem of Cosmetic Dentistry.
