Sterling, Virginia — independent since 2019
The Moment You See Your Smile Differently
A calm, independent practice in Sterling, Virginia. Implants, smile design, Invisalign, and everyday family care all start the same way: by understanding what you actually want to change.
What we do
Where we usually start, and everything around it
Missing or failing teeth change how you chew, talk, and feel in a photo. That’s where the bigger cases start. Most days, though, look like cleanings, checkups, and families.
Implants & All-on-4THE FLAGSHIP
Single tooth through full-arch, bone grafting included. Told “no” somewhere else? Those are the ones Dr. Tarek likes to look at again.
02Smile design & veneers
Digital smile design, so you see a preview on your own face before you commit to anything.
Invisalign
Sometimes teeth need to move before cosmetic work makes sense. Sometimes straighter is the whole goal. Invisalign Gold tier.
General & family dentistry
Cleanings, exams, fillings, kids, airway-conscious care, emergencies. Most days here look like this.
Porcelain veneers
Less than a millimetre of enamel, bonded to porcelain shaped for your face. Designed before anything is prepped.
Emergency dentistry
Pain, a cracked tooth, a knocked-out tooth. Call and we tell you what to do before you get here.
We file insurance, and the Membership Club covers guests without it.
Why Westlake
Less like a waiting room, more like a living room
Softer seating, frosted glass for privacy, a round table instead of a desk between you and your dentist. People talk differently on a sofa than they do in an exam chair with someone standing over them.
Every visit feels calm and unhurried, not just the big consults. We’re independently owned, so the treatment decisions get made right there in the room, by Dr. Tarek.
“I’m afraid of the dentist.”
You wouldn’t be the first. One of our long-time guests once couldn’t make it through the front door. We build the first visit around a conversation, not a treatment plan.
“I was told I’m not a candidate.”
Often we can still help, even if you need bone grafting first. We read the imaging ourselves and tell you honestly what we see.
“What will it cost?”
Real numbers up front, in plain language. We file insurance; financing and our Membership Club cover the rest.
How it works
Planned on screen before anything touches a tooth
- 01
A real conversation
What’s bothering you, what you’ve tried, and what better would look like for your life, not just your teeth.
- 02
Digital plan
Photos, scans, and 3D CT imaging. For cosmetic cases, a digital preview on your own face.
- 03
Guided treatment
Implants placed with surgical guides read from your own bone and bite. No guessing at the chair.
- 04
Heal, then finish
We stay close through healing and finish with teeth designed to fit your face, not just your bone.
Real patients, not stock photos
Documented transformations since 2019
Individual results vary case by case, which is exactly why we walk every guest through their own X-rays and their own options before we talk about what’s possible for them.
Meet Dr. Tarek
“It’s like art, you’re drawing with your hand.”
Dr. Tarek Badawy trained in Egypt, came to the U.S. for his boards, and opened Westlake in 2019 after five years inside two large dental groups. FAGD, ICOI Fellow, Invisalign Gold, and trained in digital smile design.
He calls the people he treats patients, or guests, never a category. Most complex cases go through him directly.

See your new smile before you decide
A real consult: we talk about what you'd change, take photos and X-rays, and for cosmetic cases show you a digital mockup on your own face. No pressure to book same-day. We'd rather you leave with clarity than a coupon.
Insured or not, there’s a clear path here
New patients get treated exactly like the ones who’ve been with us since day one.
