Dr. Ali Pashapour

Oral surgery often feels like a category people hope to avoid—but when the need arises, having a local specialist simplifies the process. Arlington’s Dr. Ali Pashapour covers the kind of procedures that aren’t part of routine dental visits: wisdom teeth removal, jaw realignment, and complex extractions. These aren’t the quick cleanings or fillings most dentists handle; they’re the cases that require deeper expertise, whether it’s reconstructive work after trauma or preparing for dental implants. The distinction matters when you’re weighing options beyond general dentistry.

The practice operates out of a North Highland Street address—1016 N Highland St APT 131, to be precise—situated in a stretch of Arlington that blends residential quiet with the occasional professional office. It’s not the kind of corner that draws foot traffic for browsing, but that’s typical for surgical specialties. Most patients arrive with referrals in hand, already aware that oral surgery demands a different level of preparation than a standard dental appointment. The area itself is a mix of low-rise buildings and tree-lined sidewalks, the sort of neighborhood where you’re more likely to spot a dog walker than a crowd.

Logistics, in these cases, tend to revolve around two things: clarity and access. Questions about sedation options, recovery timelines, or insurance coordination usually come up early, which is why direct contact often works best. Reaching them by phone at (703) 566-1900 cuts through the back-and-forth of emails when you’re trying to schedule a consultation or sort out pre-op details. Oral surgery isn’t the kind of service you comparison-shop on a whim; it’s more about finding a provider who can explain the process without oversimplifying it.

For those mapping out the visit—literally—the directions place the office just north of Wilson Boulevard, a corridor that’s seen its share of redevelopment over the years. The surrounding blocks don’t scream “medical district,” but that’s Arlington: pockets of specialty practices tucked between condos and older apartment buildings. It’s a reminder that even in a dense metro area, some of the most critical services operate without fanfare—no neon signs, no valets, just a door and a nameplate.
