Everyone deserves to feel great about their smile, and you can too in just one visit to our practice.

There are many methods for whitening teeth, but not all are suitable for everyone. Therefore, it is important to consult your dentist before deciding what method to use. At Kenmore Family Dental Care, we offer two types of teeth whitening treatments: take-home whitening and in-office whitening.
Our take-home teeth whitening treatment is a perfect way to achieve a brighter smile without having to visit Dr. Han. Take-home teeth whitening kits often come with a whitening gel and custom-made trays that fit over your teeth. Dr. Heejo Han will provide advice tailored to your unique dental needs. It’s important to follow instructions given by the manufacturer.


In-office whitening procedure is performed in a dental office to help make your teeth whiter and brighter. This treatment is done by Dr. Heejo Han at our dental office in Alexandria, VA, and involves the application of a bleaching agent to the teeth, which is then activated by a special light.To start our teeth whitening process in Alexandria, you need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Han. Dr. Han will examine the current condition of your teeth, check any existing dental work like veneers or dental crowns, and evaluate any risk to tooth sensitivity. Next, Dr. Han will prepare the teeth and apply the teeth whitening gel

Need a one-stop, honest, personable, kind, skilled, caring, affordable, non-judgy, professional dentist? Look no further! I am not blessed with teeth that need little care and have too many abusive and negligent dentist stories to share. That resulted in high stress, high anxiety emotions any time I need/ed dental care. Dr. HAN IS THE BEST AND MOST KIND DENTIST I HAVE EVER MET! What an absolute GEM in his field. His team is equally great! I panicked when I learned he left his previous office and delighted to learn he now owns his own praxis and leads by his rules. You can feel it when you walk in! He was rated a TOP DOC in 2023 for a reason, and I hope he continues to get the accolades he deserves!
My recent visit was outstanding from start to finish. Dr. Han demonstrated excellent technical expertise and equally impressive interpersonal skills, combining precision and professionalism with genuine care and kindness. He took time to explain every step clearly and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the procedure. The staff was warm, supportive, and responsive, creating a welcoming environment that immediately put me at ease. The clinic’s attention to detail, cleanliness, and patient-centered approach exceeded my expectations. I am truly grateful for the exceptional care and would highly recommend Dr. Han and his team to anyone seeking top-quality dental treatment.
Very nice people and great professionals. The people at the front desk are super helpful, knowledgeable and super friendly. The people who help the dentist make me feel safe and in good hands. Dr. Hee Han is really what I call “awesome sauce.” He is very skillful and very knowledgeable, which is really important for me to feel safe under his care.
I recently “graduated” from my implant treatment with Dr. Han. Despite their extremely busy schedules, they were able to fit me in and initiate the treatment right after the injury. Dr. Han is a professional, caring and detail-oriented dentist and his amazing staff are super supportive and friendly to ensure that my questions have been addressed timely. I can’t recommend him enough for those who are looking for dental care.
Great Dentist! Dr. Han helped me with my implant and he’s so patient. He will answer any questions you have and suggest the best treatment based on your cases. I was so afraid to get an implant and did a lot of research to find the best dentist in the DMV area. A lot of people in RED NOTE recommended Dr. Han. I consulted Dr. Han about implant and he’s answered every question I had. My implant was done in April and they are so good! I should’ve done this earlier! No pain at all! Dr. Han did everything to make sure the process is safe! I had another appointment for routine cleaning with the new hygienist, Jasmine (I hope I spelled her name right). She’s the nicest person and she’s detailed on every corner of your teeth. She’s lovely! The front desk is also helpful and nice! Love this dental office and will stick to this even though I reside in MD :)
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Highly recommended! This was my first visit to Kenmore Family Dental Care for a check-up and cleaning, and I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Han and his great team. Dr. Han was so helpful, friendly and kind. He explained everything clearly and made me feel completely at ease. I was very nervous, but thanks to him, hygienist Nicole, and the male technician (also very caring), all my anxiety disappeared like magic! For cleaning experience, hygienist Nicole did a great job with care. The front desk staff were exceptional, super helpful and got me an appointment within a day of my call. Everyone here is kind, knowledgeable, and truly caring. Thanks so much, made my day 💗
I don’t think I’ll ever go to another dentist after visiting Kenmore Family Dental Care. The staff is amazing, and Dr. Han is incredibly knowledgeable. I would even say he is gifted, caring, friendly, and helpful. He has a great sense of humor, which helped me forget my excruciating pain. I can’t speak highly enough about him. Throughout my life, I’ve seen many dentists for annual cleanings and check-ups, but none have taken the time to explain what I need or what they are about to do like Dr. Han does. He consistently checks to make sure I’m comfortable and asks his assistant to ensure I’m doing fine during cleaning, X-rays, or fillings. I’ve never experienced this level of care and comfort with any other dentist—only Dr. Han. Almost my entire family, including my mom and sisters, has been seeing Dr. Han since last year. I usually don’t give positive reviews unless I truly believe in the care I receive, as I often find something to critique, whether it’s the front desk, staff, or professionalism.
“AMAZING 6/5 STARS... New to the area and was having wisdom tooth pain. Dr. Han was extremely caring and didn't rush me to get an extraction. He made sure I felt good so I could keep him updated. Obviously will go back for my extraction soon and I'm glad I found them. Update: Had two of my wisdom teeth extracted. Getting an appointment was fast and they have convenient hours. I was extremely nervous but Dr. Han is AMAZING. The procedure was so fast and you could tell he is very good at what he does. My recovery was less than 24 hours, with minimal pain. Went back for the suture removal and it is almost completely healed only a week later. ”
I am never one to leave reviews, but this one is beyond deserving. Dr. Han and his assistant went above and beyond my expectations. I suffer from severe anxiety when it comes to doctors because of past experiences. However, Dr. Han's jokes and literally telling me everything he was doing before he did it made this a wonderful visit. I left feeling great and not anxious. #officiallyhavemypermanentdoc
“I am SUPER nervous about going to the dentist, but this place is FABULOUS. The staff was friendly, gentle, and understanding, and Dr. Han was incredible. I had my first crown put in. He was knowledgeable about everything from which numbing agents were best to use (I've had reactions to all of them except the one he used), which crown material to use with zero mercury in them, and understood even the homeopathic pain remedies I prefer to use. Everyone there has a great bedside manner and Dr. Han really helped put me at ease with his humor and positive attitude. Fantastic office all around!”
“5/5 stars! Dr. Han is the best dentist we have ever seen - of the 35+ dentists who have treated us in the past 30 years )we were both in the military)! We are following Dr. Han from his previous dental office over to his new practice - one that will be entirely his own. So excited for the care we expect to receive there... Dr. Han is just that good! Friendly, calming, listens and is highly competent. We even recommended him to my parents, who plan to sign up once Dr. Han's practice opens!”
Dr. Han and his staff were amazing. He performed a thorough examination. He was up front and I appreciate him for that. Dr. Han has a great bedside manner and really cares for his patients. THANK YOU, Dr. Han!
Dr. Han is extremely kind and highly skilled as is his assistant. I was nervous due to prior bad experiences with other practices, but upon meeting him, I immediately was put at ease. He fixed my issue, and in doing so, gave me relief from years of discomfort and inflammation.
Dr. Han was phenomenal. My previous dental experiences had been awful and left me with severe PTSD. With Dr. Han I've never felt more reassured or in capable hands. I was talked through every little thing and assured over and over through any process I went through. Permanent dentist office for life.
I'm very pleased with the results of my front tooth dental crown. Thank you, Dr. Han, you did an amazing job it looks so natural and I feel pretty! Your kindness and honesty makes a positive difference.
Always love working with Dr. Han - he is a top-notch dentist, master of his craft, and is always very knowledgeable, never patronizing. I appreciate the fact that he doesn't try to upsell me on unnecessary treatments or procedures, and I can always opt out of things like fluoride if needed. But rest assured, he embraces a mindset of proactive preventive care.

The teeth whitening effects can last months to several years, depending on your oral hygiene and lifestyle habits, such as smoking and drinking coffee. On average, it can last from six months up to 2 to 3 years.
After a teeth whitening treatment, you are advised to avoid foods and drinks tha are highly acidic, like soda, citrus fruits, vinegar, and tomatoes. It is also a good idea to avoid beverages that are pigmented, such as red wine, berries, tea, and coffee. Additionally, avoid hard and crunchy foods because they can cause sensitivity and damage to the teeth.
