From the kindness of Christine, the dental assistant, to the thorough and fun (yes, I said F-U-N) Kayla my hygenist, to the caring & knowledgeable Dr. Finster, I am so glad I chose to go here! Even Alicia, who helped explain the insurance/money side of things, was pleasant and helpful. I have never had so much fun at the dentist. Let's face it, I've never had fun at the dentist until today. From the care I received to the technology available, it was smooth and painless! Read Less

Heather Miller7/09/2024It was my first time here, unfortunately, after I fell and broke my front tooth. I had an amazing experience from scheduling the appointment to the appointment itself and the work was impeccable. Everyone was so kind and professional. I am extremely pleased.

He was very unpleasant in communication, snobbish and biased to me, as I am an immigrant, have Ukrainian last name and speak with the accent. I felt like the man still lives in 18th century with class division and prejudice. When I told my husband that he wanted to know in details regarding my employment to measure the size of my pocket, we just made fun of that. While I was in pain, he did not help me with that tooth the same day, but referred me to the Endodontist with the other teeth that did not ache. Then, he sent me into to the office with a mean-faced lady, who provided me false information on my insurance coverage (which was was 50% for major procedures), while she told me that major procedures were 100% out of my pocket. I had to drive all the way from Chapel Hill to Apex to get medical assistance from a professional doctor, who took my pretty complicated case at the end of her shift the same day, and helped me with the aching tooth.I was going to cancel my next day morning appointment with Carolinas Dentist, but it was too late to cancel it. I am glad I did not cancel that appointment, as the Doctor I saw the next day, Dr. Vraj Gajjar, turned out to be great, easygoing, friendly and professional. His assistant was also awesome, so I had completely opposite experience to the first one. Only because of my great second day experience, the clinic got 4 stars instead of 1 ⭐. Read Less

The staff seem to be very knowledgeable and even incorporated some nuggets of information pertaining to environmental stressors and the connections with oral hygiene and health. They were very personable and provided multiple compliments about my oral care and let me know that I’m doing a great job. The staff provided detailed information about the processes during each phase of my visit as well as follow up recommendations. I felt really good and supported after I left my appointment and will definitely be back and will recommend others to this location. The office was easy to find. The staff were very timely with appointments and myself and the other patients didn’t have to wait long at all. The facility was very clean. Read Less

Read MoreI couldn’t give this place enough stars. I am terrified of dentists. I have left two practices in wilmington due to horrific experiences. The moment you walk in, you feel welcomed, respected, and valued here. The front desk is WONDERFUL. The insurance/billing specialist took hours of her time to help ensure I knew the breakdown of each different route I had before I proceeded with the procedure of MY CHOICE, not pressured into doing something I didn’t want. The dentist and dental assistants all are gentle, kind, considerate, and make you feel more than comfortable. Even the way they talk with each other, you can see they all actually adore each other & are a little family. I couldn’t be more happy, or blessed to have found this place. I will forever recommend them! Read Less

Receptionists were very accommodating and friendly. I was actually way too early but they worked me in. Dr. Rachel met me at the door and walked me to the exam room while explaining everything. She and then a very nice young lady named Sierra listened carefully to all my concerns and assured me that they would take care of things. Later, after the initial exam I met Daya, who was just as sweet as the doctor and Sierra, assisted me through the rest of the procedure. I am extremely grateful for all the sacrifice, hard work and study these beautiful young women experienced to be there for me and all the other patients. Read Less

Read MoreI have been worried about a potential cavity for some time but have not been to a dentist because of a lack of dental insurance. The office offers their own monthly dental plan that worked out very well for me, they saw me immediately for my scheduled appointment and everyone was so kind! The cleaning was the most gentle I’ve ever received from the hygienist. Highly recommend. I told my brother about this office immediately and he has already scheduled an appointment for himself!Also, they gave me a very detailed explanation that what I thought was a cavity is actually an old filling and they said my teeth are in great shape despite not having been seen for a little over a year. This was a huge relief and the detailed explanation really helped me feel better about something I’ve been worried about for a few months now! Read Less
