We Are Open – Safety is Our Top Priority!
We’ve reopened in accordance with CDC, O.S.H.A., and State Dental Board guidelines to responsibly resume seeing our patients for regular dental appointments and treatment. We want to assure you of the measures we take to maintain a clean and safe environment so you can continue to receive needed dental care without fear or concern.

Dental Insurance
At this time, we are not participating providers with state-funded programs such as Medicaid.
If you have dental insurance through your employer, you’ve probably already discovered the savings and the peace of mind that a dental plan provides. No matter how carefully you take care of your teeth, you may get a cavity. You can rest assured that your costs will be lower with insurance coverage. Saving will vary across patients. Usually, employers negotiate a group rate, so two of our patients with the same insurance company can have different coverage. Most plans do cover preventative care to an extent, so you save by preventing problems that are more expensive to treat later on.
How Do I Find a Dentist That Takes Insurance Nearby?
We can sure help if you have been wondering, “Is there a dentist near me who accepts my insurance?” At our office, we file claims for our clients with multiple insurance companies. If you need more information, please contact our office. When you need to find a dentist in Falls Church by insurance type, you can call us regarding your PPO or HMO type plan. Whether you need a dentist that accepts HMO insurance or a dentist that accepts PPO insurance, we can help you understand how your insurance works.
How Do I Use My Dental Insurance Advantageously?
We often have patients who ask, “Can you tell me how to use my dental insurance with a dentist in Falls Church advantageously?” Our knowledgeable staff can help educate our patients on the basics of his or her specific coverage. Nevertheless, you should check your plan for your deductibles, exceptions and exclusions to avoid any unpleasant surprises. Other questions that you should ask include:
- Do I have a yearly maximum benefit?
- What procedures are included in the waiting period, if any?
- Does the dentist need pre-authorization for certain procedures?
- Does dental insurance cover Invisalign?
- Will my dental insurance cover an implant?
- Is any cosmetic work covered by my dental insurance?
- Will dental insurance pay for a bridge?
- Can my provider help me find a dentist in Falls Church by insurance?
Once you’ve discovered which dentist takes my insurance, we would be pleased to make an appointment for you to answer any questions that you may have about your coverage. We’re used to dealing with the major insurance companies and we can also help you with any terminology in your plan that you do not understand.
We Respect Our Patients
We always treat our patients with respect, answering all of their questions about a procedure they are considering and outlining their treatment options. We always present alternatives, including the pros and cons of each option and how many visits each option requires. When you begin looking for a dentist near me who accepts my insurance, call our office. We can check to see if we are part of your insurance plan’s network, and we would be happy to schedule an appointment for you.

Our patients leave smiling
Nikki, the hygienist, was great and accommodating. Pleasure to see Dr. Hermann again. I wish him a happy retirement. I’ve been seeing him since I was 7. I’m 31 now. Fantastic office and staff.
John A.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Herrmann since the beginning of his dental practice in Falls Church, over twenty years! He handles dental procedures some dentists will not do. I know of no dentist more knowledgeable and competent than Dr. Herrmann. If you have an urgent dental concern, he and his office will respond and take care of you promptly. I don’t know if he is accepting new patients, but if…
Robert H.
I highly recommend Herrmann & Desio Family Dentistry. Nicole has been my hygienist for several years, and she is fantastic! She’s very thorough, careful, and most of all friendly and so easy to work with. The whole team are true professionals, and I know that my teeth are in great hands for many years to come! Thanks again to Nicole and everyone at Herrmann & Desio.
Matthew S.
Most would agree that going to the dentist is the worst but at Dr. Herrmann & Desio it was a pleasure. From the friendly front desk staff to the excellent hygienist Niki, who left my teeth super clean, and of course Dr. Herrmann who is such a sweetheart. I would recommend this practice to everyone.
Rosana S.
I’ve been a patient of Drs. Herrmann and Desio for over 20 years. They are both caring and gentle professionals, and their office staff is top notch. In my late 50s I decided to try Invisilign. Drs. Herrmann and Desio and their staff worked with me for almost two years to straighten my teeth. The practice is located just off Route 66 in East Falls Church making it easy to get to by car, Metr…
Honora D.
I am a new patient at Hermann and Desio Dental and as embarassing it is to say this, I haven’t had dental work done in a long time. The whole staff was very friendly and made me feel comfortable, less embarassed, and was very easy to talk to. Everyone had such positive attitudes which made the experience less stressful and enjoyable. I saw Dr. Hermann who was clear, concise, and educational.
Soojin C.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Desio and his associates for the past ten years. They offer great customer service, dental care and the most up to date technology and procedures. I’ve just had my implants done by Dr. Desio and they feel great. Nicole took care of my cleaning and was gentle and courteous. They’re the best!
Garrett K.
I am a new client, previous dentist retired so I was looking for some local to Falls Church City. Dr. Herrmann and staff provided a welcoming environment and were very professional and honest. After my appointment I felt like I had been a client for years. I highly recommend them.
Donald M.
I have been going to this practice for many years. Everyone on the staff always treats me as an individual, not as just another mouth to clean and check. I feel like the dental care is top-notch, as well: definitely thorough, but not overly interventionist. Scheduling and re-scheduling appointments is easy.
Susan J.
My wife and I have been coming to Dr. Herrmann since we moved to the area four years ago. We always have a great experience and have never have to sit in the waiting room. Nicole is wonderful hygienist and always finds a way to make me laugh. I highly recommend Herman & Desio to anyone in NOVA who is looking for a top notch dentist.
Jacob P.
I’ve been coming to see Drs. Hermann and Desio for over 20 years. I continue to make the trip from out of town twice each year, because I know a good thing, when I’ve found it! The entire staff is friendly, helpful, and my hygienist and I have become inseparable. They actually remember my dental issues, and we can discuss any necessary services from a place of mutual understanding.

To go to the dentist here is easy and frankly, fun! I am so relaxed in the care of Donna Maffeo and Dr. Herrmann that I typically take a nap while I’m being worked on. These folks are THAT good and I would – and do – recommend them whenever I can!

I’ve been coming here for years and have always had a very pleasant experience. Everyone remembers my name and knows who I am, which seems to be increasingly rare at other offices. Appointments are pain-free and Dr. Hermann is consistently knowledgeable and helpful.
Sophia G.
Been a patient for over 10 years. Always amazing customer service and care. Thank you!
Nathaniel D.
I first came to Dr. Desio on a referral from a friend after a bad experience. I was scared, and Dr. Desio was kind, reassuring, and honest. All entire team members are all the same way. 15 years later, we’ve been through root canals and Invisalign together. I cannot recommend Dr. Desio and his team highly enough.
Victoria S.
The dentists and staff are highly professional and super friendly. I have gone to Dr Hermann for the past 15 years and he is magnificent. Nicole (from Chicago) regularly attends to my dental needs and she is first rate in addition to being very friendly. I look forward to my dental visits! This is a five star practice.

Quality service that’s well worth the value. They find underlying issues and seek to treat them before they get to the drilling phase.
Carrie M.
From the time I connect with their team. They were fantastic. Thorough and get follow through. Team was professional and hospitable. Dr. Hermann has a good sense of humor and love baseball. They genuinely want to connect with me not just as a patient but as a human being. Thank you.

My family and I have been coming to this wonderful practice for over a decade. Dr. Desio, Linda, Nocole A, Teresa, Thea and the entire team take great care of us from standard dental care to Invisalign, implants and any urgent needs that have occurred. I wouldn’t go anywhere else and highly recommend them!
Holly B.
Two weeks ago, Dr. Herrmann extracted two of my wisdom teeth. I got to say, I was very nervous about the whole process, but Dr. Herrmann and his assistant Thea, made it better for me. The next day, I was back to work! Dr. Herrmann, Desio anf their staff are the Best!
Teresa Z.
Nicole A. is my hygienist, and she’s the best. I used to dislike cleanings and going the dentist in general but that changed when I began seeing her. I’ve been going to see her for a few years now, and besides providing me with great cleanings, she’s full of old-fashioned midwest charm. Nicole A. is a real human being – certainly makes you feel like one too. I really apprec…

No one does it better. The offices are welcoming, the staff are extraordinary, and the treatments are as comfortable as possible. Cleanings are a breeze and take place in an environment that feels less like a dental office than it does a well cared for home. Estimates are available for more advanced treatments so there are no surprises, and the front office have my insurance company dialed in perf…

Every member of this office has the best bedside manner and service I’ve encountered at a dental office.

I’ve always been a bit of a “chicken” when it comes to dental visits. After 10 years of treatment, Dr. Herrmann hasn’t broken any eggs yet! Seriously, the Dr., his staff, and my hygienist, Nicole, are all top notch, and worth the (50 mile) trip to see.

Always a good experience. Have been a patient of Dr Desio’s since 1998. Great service.
Leslie L.
Excellent. all staff members were polite and efficient. Dr. Desio is a great motivator. No other dentist has convinced me that daily flossing is important to my overall health. I think he might have used the words “It just takes a few minutes before going to bed.” Whatever……it worked. I will miss all of you as I move to CA.
