“It was there where Dr. K received advanced training and built his skills in surgery, cosmetics, and implantology,” according to Dental Inc. “When he’s not working hard in our office, Dr. K loves traveling the world with his wife, spending time with friends and family, and exploring the food scene around Alexandria.”
Services at the new office include:

Invisalign
Botox
In-office teeth whitening

The practice also works with most insurance providers, including Aetna, Always Care, Ameritas, Anthem, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, DNOA, GEHA, Guardian, Humana, Lincoln Financial, MetLife, Principal Life, United Concordia, United HealthCare, Careington, Zelis, and Delta Dental.
