I cannot recommend this dentist strongly enough! Dr. Smith and his staff have been kind and honest…read moreand responsible from the first time I came in for a cleaning (which I think was maybe 8-9 years ago). I have heard awful stories of scammer dentists and unnecessary procedures etc and this office is the polar opposite of that. Just good people doing good work. I get a little nervous sometimes before a visit but by the time I leave I always feel better. It is basically a life affirming experience going to this dentist! And that is not a sentence I ever expected to say.

Dr. Smith is awesome. I haven't had any major dental work but I am always pleased when I get my…read morecleanings. I don't go as often as I should, once every couple of years. Nevertheless the service and care is exceptionally great. The office is always clean, staff is great to work with and friendly. Most recently, I called after hours and left a voicemail for a callback to schedule a cleaning. The next day doctor Smith himself returned my call and scheduled my appointment for the following week! I was shocked! He explained they are short handed due to the holidays so he goes in on Fridays (when they're closed) to help catch up! I love that he rolls up his sleeves and does all the work in his business wherever it needs to be done. I will also say that I've been going here for about 12 years and as infrequently as I go, again 2 yrs since my last visit , he sure does have a good memory or takes good notes on patients when they visit. He remembered I have a teenage son and 2 small daughters, and we chatted about his 3 boys and how different parenting teens and young adults is in today's day and age. A couple of years ago, when I inquired about whitening after my first visit in 3 years and having back to back babies, cause pregnancy really took a toll on my teeth, he said it's cheaper and easier to just do the whitening strips at home, and I appreciated that especially since at the time I had two under 2 in diapers and daycare. He's a family man and appreciates his patients for who they are and where they're at in life. 10/10 would recommend Dr. Smith for your dental care and needs.

i went to this dentist per a recommendation and I couldn't be more happier and glad I went. Shout…read moreout to Dr. Dolan and her assistant Melanie. I highly recommend this place. Since I walked in, they provided me with all the details/insurance/plan for me. They answered all my questions throughout. I had a root canal done and had no pain during the extraction. First time, ever that I was not in pain during the procedure. Thank you so much and I know I still have a few things on my plan, see you soon. Thank you,

BEWARE!!!! We went there to give them a shot because we received a coupon in the mail. Prior to…read morethis, we had always gone to Graham dentistry up the road and never had an issue and had great service. We should not have ventured off a good path and tried Advanced Emerald Dentistry. This place is just straight BAD and what I can only call fraudsters! They are all about getting money anyway possible. First the coupon that brought us there wouldn't honor because we had insurance. The cleaning was just Muh, but the real kicker is when they came in and said, "you have 6 cavities, then it was 9"! I was shocked as I had cleaned 9 months prior and I am religious at cleaning my teeth. I had them finish up the cleaning and made an appointment with Graham (my old dentist). They checked my teeth out and did more x-rays that I also had to pay Advanced Emerald Dentistry to do. Do you have a guess of how many cavities they found? That's right 0! Advanced tried to scam the insurance out of $1,328.00 and me out of $432.00. This at the very least is insurance fraud and malpractice! It's amazing that they haven't been shut down yet. Just so disgusting that they are trying to rip people off and put them through the pain of surgery and not to mention destroying good teeth. All to line their wallets is disgusting! I will be sending something to my insurance and filing a complaint with the state dentistry commission. I am sure if they tried this with me, I am not the only victim. BUT please take it from me.... run as fast as you can from this place. If you value your teeth and want great dentistry to look elsewhere. You would be better off chewing on rocks then go to Advanced Emerald Dentistry of Graham!

Earlier last year, I visited this dental office after moving to the area, seeking treatment for…read morepain in one of my molars. With fillings in most of my molars, I expected that I'd eventually need root canals on those teeth. After an initial assessment, the dentist informed me that multiple fillings needed to be redone. I asked about the cost out of pocket, and was told it would be $0. Based on their recommendations, I decided to proceed with the treatments, including addressing the painful tooth. The dentist warned me that the painful tooth might need a root canal, but they wouldn't know for sure until they began the procedure. I expressed my preference to go ahead with a root canal, so I wouldn't have to come back, especially since they couldn't guarantee that replacing the filling would resolve the pain. They scheduled my appointment, though the front desk tried to push it two weeks out. After reminding them that the dentist considered the situation urgent, they suddenly had an earlier opening just a few days later. On the day of the procedure, I reiterated that I wanted to move forward with a root canal. Halfway through, they informed me that the dentist working on my teeth didn't actually perform root canals and that they could only do a filling. I was shocked. After the procedure, my pain persisted, and I was told I'd need to return for a root canal. At this point, I was told that I'd hit my insurance coverage limit, meaning I'd need to pay the remainder out of pocket. They insisted I pay everything upfront, but I refused and asked them to run it through insurance first and bill me for the balance. I also made it clear that I didn't believe I should be charged for the initial filling, given that it was ultimately replaced with a root canal. They refused to waive that charge. They told me they would prescribe something for the pain until I could be seen for the root canal. I informed them that I had just finished 4 weeks of antibiotics for another issue and they made the decision that another antibiotic would not fix the issue, so they would prescribe me something else for the pain. When I went to pickup the rx, it was an antibiotic, which I did not want. I ended up canceling the rx and just working through the pain for the next few days (I'm allergic to NSAIDs so there wasn't much I could do). After finally having the root canal, my pain didn't subside after a few days. They had me come back to their office just to refer me to urgent care, where they assured me that I just needed to wait a few weeks for my gums to heal from all the dental work. So, I ended up at urgent care because the dental office seemed uncertain, adding additional hundreds of dollars to my medical bills. Months later, I still hadn't received a bill or any follow-up, but then I found out they had sent me to collections. To make matters worse, my tooth still bothers me. I would strongly advise against going to this office. The staff is unprofessional, the communication is poor, and most importantly, they seem completely incompetent.

I would stay far away from this place. Friendly front end worker named April. Good hygienist but…read morethat is where it ends for this place. My wife had 2 procedures done a month or so apart. Was told 1st one would be covered under insurance and I would pay out of pocket for 2nd. I paid for the 2nd procedure 1/2 up front balance after procedure. 2 years later they state insurance is denying 1st and I owe $400us dollars. Pretty unbelievable and was told I need to work it out with the insurance. Isn't that what a pre authorization is for? My last procedure the male dentist took a personal call and was on his Bluetooth my whole procedure and rushed the whole thing. My filling felt unnatural and uncomfortable but after he was so unprofessional during the procedure I felt it was unacceptable and unprofessional taking a personal call that I would never go back. They are now sending collection notices and threats. This is completely wrong and I gave them the opportunity to make it right and the refused. I feel like they are scamming the insurance or me or both. They should be investigated. After doing thorough research of the bills/insurance statements reason for insurance denial was due to LATE SUBMISSION. Which is 100% this clinics fault! The claim was sent MONTHS after the procedure was performed! SHAME ON YOU!
