RNX Dental is a family and cosmetic practice in Shirlington. We take the time to look properly, explain what we see in plain English, and never push treatment you don’t need.
Most people don’t dread the dentist because of the chair. They dread feeling rushed, confused, or talked into something. At RNX Dental, we do things differently. Every visit starts with a conversation about how your teeth feel, what’s worrying you, and what you’d like to change. Then we take a proper look, explain what we see in words that make sense, and let you decide what happens next.
That approach is why patients from across Arlington, Alexandria and Fairlington have made RNX Dental their long-term dental home. Some come in for a simple cleaning. Others need a tooth replaced, a smile straightened, or urgent help with pain. Whatever brings you in, you’ll be treated like a neighbor, not a number.
From a six-month cleaning to replacing a missing tooth, we handle most dental care right here in Shirlington. That means fewer referrals, fewer waiting rooms, and one team that knows your history.

Preventive care is the easiest and most affordable dentistry there is. Our exams include a careful look at your teeth, gums, tongue and neck, with an oral cancer screening at every checkup. Our hygienists clean gently but thoroughly, and we’ll share simple habits that make the biggest difference at home. Explore exams and checkups, teeth cleanings, and family dentistry.

When a tooth is cracked, decayed, infected or missing, we’ll help you fix it properly and comfortably. We offer tooth-colored fillings, custom crowns, root canal treatment, gentle extractions, dental bridges and dental implants. We always explain your options, including the cost of each, before any work begins.

If you’ve ever hidden your smile in photos, cosmetic dentistry can help. Dr. Ghorab is a certified Invisalign® provider, so you can straighten your teeth without metal braces. We also offer professional teeth whitening that delivers a visibly brighter smile in under two hours, and cosmetic bonding to fix chips and small gaps, often in a single visit.

Dr. Ghorab has cared for families in Arlington since 2014. Patients tend to say the same things about him: he’s thorough, he doesn’t rush, and he tells you what’s going on before anything happens.
He holds two dental degrees, one from Misr University of Science and Technology and one from Virginia Commonwealth University. He’s trained in dental trauma and complex extractions, is a certified Invisalign® provider, and volunteers at community dental clinics because he believes everyone deserves good care.
We look at more than your teeth. Gums, bite, tongue, cheeks and neck are all part of every exam.
You’ll always know what we found, what your options are, and what each one costs.
If something can wait, we’ll tell you. If it can’t, we’ll explain why.
We respect your time and run on schedule.
Appointments from 7 am on Tuesdays and until 7 pm on Wednesdays.
Our private side entrance sits across from the Shirlington bus station, with simple parking.
Kids, parents and grandparents can all see the same trusted team.
Pick a time that suits you. Early Tuesday and late Wednesday slots go fast.
Send us your insurance details and we’ll confirm your coverage before you arrive.

If you prioritize timely and professional communication as a patient, this practice is for you. I’ve had an exceptional experience at RNX over the last year. I’ve had several procedures here — regular cleanings, cavity filling, dental bridge, teeth whitening, and veneer repair — and all aspects of treatment were not rushed or oversold to me. I appreciate that Dr. Ghorab will display all treatment options to you and will facilitate an open dialogue. It makes me feel very seen as a patient who has previously been rushed into procedures. The office administration here is some of the best that I’ve seen. If something is promised to you verbally, you can rest assured that you’ll receive a call regarding that. When I was referred to an oral surgeon that stopped responding to me, RNX dental helped facilitate communication on my behalf. RNX Dental staff displays timely and professional communication and ethic — something that can be hard to come by in a busy, patient-filled region like this. They treat every question and problem with equal consideration, allowing for an exceptional patient experience. I can’t recommend this practice enough!Posted on Google![]()

This is the best dental visit I’ve since I was a kid. Everyone was knowledgeable and gracious from the time I walked in the door. I didn’t have a good experience at a retail dental office closer to my home in Capitol Hill. But Dr. Ghorab, hygienists, and staff were welcoming, helpful, super knowledgeable. Happy to go to the dentist again 🦷🪥✅Posted on Google![]()

I’ve always been very anxious of the dentist but Dr. Ghorab made me feel heard and taken care of for an emergency filling. I was a completely new patient, but Dr. Ghorab and the office worked fast and efficiently to fit me into their schedule day of. Dr. Ghorab cared enough to ask about and listen intently to my prior history with dentist visits and epinephrine so he could offer a far safer and calmer experience for me under anesthesia. He was quick to offer laughing gas to help me feel calmer, he talked me through the process, he frequently checked in to see how I was feeling, and worked gently with the procedure so I felt little discomfort. Lastly his positive and outgoing disposition make you feel that you are in good hands and that he is happy to help you. I highly recommend this dentist’s office and everyone else at the office and staff were very kind as well. Thank you for a great experience.Posted on Google![]()

Ever since I moved back to Virginia, I have been seeing Dr. Ghorab and his team for everything! They are kind, considerate, and very easy to work with. I am simply terrible at sticking to a schedule and the reception team at RNX dental is always very understanding and easy to reschedule with! Dr. Ghorab has taken so much of anxiety off my shoulders with my dental care. He knows how to keep you calm and treat you and your teeth with care! 10/10, would 100% recommend.Posted on Google![]()

Dental anxiety kept me from seeking care for a long time, but finally sought care from Dr. Ghorab. So glad I did. During the consultation, he was so patient with me and answered all of my questions. Even though I know he was busy, he never rushed me. Sooo, the big day - dental surgery - was today. It went amazingly well. The Dr. Ghorab and this sweet-natured Assistant took great care of me. Their energy was so welcoming and reassuring that I didn't even need laughing gas to relax me. I'll definitely be coming back for all my dental needs. ❤️Posted on Google![]()

I had multiple treatments at this dental office and had a wonderful experience. Dr. Ghorab has an excellent bedside manner; very kind, understanding, and attentive. He made sure I felt comfortable throughout each procedure, asked thoughtful questions, and genuinely tried to understand my concerns. All the treatments were quick, neat, and efficient. The staff members are also incredibly friendly and professional; everyone I interacted with was welcoming and helpful. Overall, I felt well cared for and highly recommend this office!Posted on Google![]()
