Don Erickson12/19/2024Staff was super nice & welcoming. Ashley did a great job. After many years of being told there was nothing that could be done about an annoying implant, Dr Bodah offered a solution that seemed reasonable & affordable. I plan to return soon & have the procedure done.

Becky Brown12/16/2024Best experience at a dentist I have ever had. Brooke was amazing! Doc was almost as good...lol. Very professional and friendly staff. You'll feel very welcome, and cared for. Randy

Read MoreCarolinasDentist- Cary provided top-notch, 5- star, Knock Your Socks Off Customer Service from my first telephone call... all the way through the service of extracting a problem tooth for me... all on 4/27/22!!!When a person needs EMERGENCY dental services, they should not have to wait 6-8 weeks to get it. My tooth had been causing me great pain for weeks. It seemed impossible to get into several dentist offices in this region... until my co-worker found CarolinasDentist!Darrell answered our call and listened patiently to my co-worker lay out the details of my pain. He immediately showed COMPASSION and was able to book my appointment for service on this very same business day for 2pm. We both were ELATED! This practice is very serene, well decorated and full of stellar employees.Sierra, my Dental Assistant was equally as compassionate, patient and understanding of my pain. She was very delicate in her approach about some discomfort that I may feel during the extraction, yet explained everything about my visit & post-op to me, in the most THOROUGH way.Dr. L. Steddum was also compassionate & AMAZING! Not only is she a very skilled Dentist, she educated me and was able to help me relax during the procedure! She talked me through her steps and my tooth was out before I could ever feel anything that I ever feared!Hands down... I'm referring everyone I know or who asks about an excellent dentistry to CarolinasDentist!! Read Less

Latest technology by far however, best of all is something that has never come out of my mouth related to a visit to the dentist; "very pleasant experience" due to the professional environment. No cookie cutter protocol here. Hygienists and dentist spent genuine time with me. The only con is that I didn't come here years ago. Read Less

Jonathan Martin6/28/2023Not only did I feel welcome, I felt heard. The staff and Dr. Zuckerman were wonderful. I'm definitely happy that I've found a dental office that has great bedside manner.Thank you!

Read MoreOh my… these people are changing the way I see dentists entirely, they’re patient, and kind! They know my previous dental traumas and I was insecure about one of my front teeth, they were so willing to say “let’s do that one first”. They knew I was nervous about numbing not being enough and they were clear (multiple times) if I felt ANYTHING, to raise my left hand slowly and they’ll add more numbing! I was explained everything they were doing “(i did have my airpods in so they did the best they could). These people, in two appointments have made me much more comfortable with going to the dentist and are so accommodating for those with dental trauma (AND not judgemental). I have avoided the dentist for YEARS! I won’t avoid it anymore. They have a customer for as long as we are here!! Read Less

Read MoreIt was my first time seeing the dentist in several years (due to no insurance unfortunately) and I finally decided that I was ready, willing and able to get my dental situation handled.Hands down, this has been the best dental experience I have ever received. I cannot remember the name of the woman who took my X-rays and the financial officer who assisted me in discussing the financial aspect but you two are included in this all well! Sydney, my Dental Hygienist was precise, educated and straight to the point. She was a pleasure!& Brooke, was an absolute BLAST! Absolutely hilarious member of the team and proficient when it comes to your teeth cleaning.I know there are people who have extreme anxiety when visiting any dental clinic but I have to say this was a great experience, I will recommend this dentistry to anyone in the future.Lastly, the pricing was anticipated to be the general $99 (no insurance) patient experience. I signed up for their in-house planning options which brought my entire total down to $28.00 today.Thank you for a great experience! Read Less
