I used to go here when my longtime dentist retired but I think I only lasted a couple appts because they were so pushy, sales-y and aggressive. A doctor should never be a salesman, but an advocate. I had gone in for a cleaning and asked if they could round off a tooth that was poking me.... 20 minutes later, the doctor had used a putty to reshape all of my teeth to tell me how much better veneers would look on me. They also apparently had to fill all these cavities I supposedly had. My doctor was appalled at how deep they drilled for a routine cavity and now I may have to get a root canal as a result. Truly the worst type of people that only want your money and that's it. Never would recommend as a dentist. Unrelated, but when calling them just now to reschedule an appt for my boss, Google lists two different numbers and their website has a third number. Shocker, all if the numbers lead to the same time with a menu to choose from. All choices lead to someone named Tristan and it goes straight to her voicemail without ringing and once you get to the end and are waiting for the beep to leave a message, the phones hang up on you. Every single time. Literally every time I learn something new about this dental group it's always bad. Don't waste your time, money, or sanity. read more

Terrible under new ownership since the Bells retired. Was fired as a patient by Dr. Joyce Crowe after being a patient of Dr. Bell for over 20 years because I wouldn't agree to start a program of regular XRays. She said it is their standard of care despite it being inconsistent with the American Dental Association's own recommendation to only do so when symptomatic or clinically indicated. It seems to me they don't want to use scarce hygienist capacity for low margin patients, which if true would seem to be unethical. read more

I have horrible dentist anxiety. It has been a huge phobia since I was a teenager. I tried Bell because my boyfriend goes here and he said they are great and will make not feel anxious. Dr.Joyce is the best dentist I have ever had. She is so caring and listens to your feelings and your concerns. All of the hygienists are super sweet and supportive. My cleanings and dental work have been top notch. I am so glad I found them. They are hands down the best dentist in the city. If anyone has bad anxiety about the dentist I would highly recommend Bell. read more

I couldn't recommend this place enough! Very friendly and professional staff, and a very comfortable environment compared to other dental offices I have gone to. read more

Moved to Ohio in 2021 and found BDG which is a 21st Century dentist. From dentist to office staff here is a professional service that has a very calm/comfortable composure. A big shout out to Kelly for dealing with a complex crown. Nice folks doing a very good job. read more

Bell Dental Group is without a doubt the very best and highest level of dental care. I have been a patient for over a decade. Dr Chuck Bell and his team continue to make me pain free during visits and my teeth are the absolute best the can be thanks to Dr Chuck and his team. They did some major work on me today and my mouth is beautiful. Book an appointment and I promise you will not regret it!! read more

Dr. Bell and team are awesome! I had a dental emergency early on the morning of Oct 24. (Nothing like breaking your front tooth at 6.20am, just before an important meeting with a customer). I found Dr. Bell's practice on Google and saw they were opening at 7:30am. I called Dr. Bell at 6:35am and he returned my call within 5min. I explained the situation and he told me to come right over. 45min later I was as good as new, ready to start my day with a smile! An amazing service experience. I highly recommend this professional and empathic dental practice. read more

The best dentists and staff in Cincinnati,..or ANYWHERE for that matter!! They care, they use cutting edge and always keep up with the newest technology in dentistry. There is no one better than Dr. Dave! Never met a more caring gentle and fun dentist!! Dr. Dave has especially gone above and beyond for me for years any time i needed him. They're all such wonderful people you look forward to your visits with them! Definitely recommend this office!! You can't go wrong with these folks! read more

I don't want to go in detail about my bad experience there. That makes me upset.To put it simply: I followed the dentist's suggestion to do resin composite for six of my teeth during a teeth cleaning routine, these teeth start becoming sensitive and hurts a lot for 4 months. These teeth doesn't hurt before the procedure. Never had such experience before. No sensible explanation from the dentist except "it's normal, and it will go away". During another teeth cleaning visit, the charge was outrageous for a normal routine. Feels like they would suggest you doing things that may not be necessary for you but lucrative for them. I am switching to another office. read more

My dentist had recently retired and I needed some dental work completed. After reading reviews I contacted Bell Dental Group. When I went in the office Dr Chick Bell assured me my problems weren't as bad as I thought and my teeth could be fixed. He did quote an estimated price. The plan did change and I felt like Dr.Bell and his assistant, Patty, listened to my concerns and included me in the plan. We hit a an unforeseen bump in the road with the lab that caused some delay. I had to reschedule my appointment. Dr. Chuck Bell and Patty went as far as to come in on a Saturday so I wouldn't have to miss work. My procedure was painless and I now have a beautiful smile thanks to Bell Dental Group. read more

I've gone to Bell Dental Group for a few years, the Bell Brothers, Dr Chuck and Dr Dave have served the Hyde Park area for over 30 years. Their team are friendly welcoming and take care of your dental health in an efficient manner. I've had a few services over the past few years and Dr Chuck has called several times in the late afternoon/early evening to check on me making sure I'm doing well. You're in great hands with Bell Dental in Cincinnati. read more

I don't know many people who love going to the dentist but I am glad I found this group. All of the staff provide an excellent experience while being professional and positive. It's nice to see all of the staff happy to be with a company and with one another. Dr David Bell took time to explain what I need in a way that I understood and made sure I was comfortable read more

My frustration with this office is the result of a bigger problem. Loyalty means nothing. I understand it's all about the money; I'm not delusional, but it should not be this hard to get the care that every dentist would scold you for neglect. I saw this dentist for cleanings and fillings for maybe a year or two when I first moved here. In my last appointment with her, she was aware I lost my job and would be on Medicaid. We even talked about the difference/quality in the materials/drugs used for Medicaid patients. In the entire appointment, she did not once tell me I would need to find another dentist or that this practice would not accept it. I show up today for my appointment and was informed them they would not take my insurance(Medicaid), and I could pay out of pocket. Odds are if you're on Medicaid, you have no income or very little, why would you suggest out of pocket like your doing me some big favor? I have ALWAYS hated the dentist and struggled with my teeth. I finally found somewhere that didn't freak me out as much or shame me or make me feel like a burden if I asked a question. All the hygienists are kind and smiling; they aren't careless or rough. The dentist(Maggie) was wonderful, gave great explanations, had a sense of humor, and, most of all, she didn't try and sell me a million things she could see my problem(fear of dentist noises/smell) and was very patient and helpful. This is such a shame. I'm really bummed. Many Medicaid enrollees live with the pain and discomfort of tooth decay and gum disease, which can exacerbate other health problems, such as heart disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis. Eventually, some go to costly emergency rooms, which can do little but provide short-term pain relief. The last thing the emergency room needs right now is patients who daughter out preventive care, but because Medicaid will only pay half those patients are not as desirable. Accept more insurance types for cleaning, and you would make more money still when they need braces/Invisalign/ mouth guard, etc. (It really won't kill your profit; worth some research: https://www.dentistrytoday.com/news/todays-dental-news/item/5926-a-lack-of-awareness-impacts-the-care-of-medicaid-dental-patients ) read more

I wish I could say more nice things about this place. I really do. I am grateful that they were able to sneak me in last week for an emergency (abscessed tooth). I was even willing to sit in the chair from shortly after 11am until almost 3pm because they had other patients they were trying to see. But the long and short of it is that I had a tooth filled back in January of '09. I remember the exact day, because I can tell you this much- I have had tooth pain since that day. The emergency last week with the abscessed tooth needing a root canal? That tooth. The exact one that has been bothering me since the day it was filled. I don't think that's a coincidence. When I reported the tooth pain after the filling, I was told that I grind my teeth and that was the source of the problem and I was sent away with a recommendation of a very expensive plan to help me quit grinding my teeth. I couldn't afford it, so I moved on. By the time it was time for my next visit, I had lost my job and was unable to pay for any further dental work... and here we are today with an abscessed tooth. (Much like Cyrus A's experience!) Now I'll start with the few nice things I CAN say about this place. They were great about working with me to pay off my debt with them before escalating me to collections. They let me pay $10 per month during the time I was unemployed. They did squeeze me in because I was in excruciating pain. They have a great selection of beverages in the lobby- which is sort of ironic- when you're there for dental work or to get your teeth cleaned, you probably don't want coffee or juice. Their staff is very nice and the doctors actually make follow up calls a day or two after your procedure. I really wanted to like them. But I'll let them do this root canal and go back to my childhood dentist, who my entire family still sees. I don't want to go through this disaster again with another tooth. read more

Don't get confused or let your eyes cross if you make an appointment with Bell Dentistry, located on the outskirts of Hyde Park square. David and Charles Bell, founders of the company are twins and love to joke about giving people a literal double-take. Chaos was in the air on the day of my appointment. I left with plenty of time to be early, 30 minutes early to be exact. I don't know whether my GPS and iPhone location application were out to mock me, or I really have no sense of direction, but I had troubles finding the place. I arrived at the homey, welcoming atmosphere full of calming greens and bright tones flustered and overwhelmed. David Bell was one of the first people I interacted with, he welcomed me and his staff smiled in the most genuine form of understanding I have yet seen in Cincinnati at my fashionably-late arrival. My whole family is medical, so let me be the first to say, I have never had any problems with any dentist, doctor or... (looking for three things here) magician! (Yeah, I've had a few run-ins with magicians in my day. Back on point though!) I was brought in a comfy and fully-stocked room, asked all the regular questions that are common for a new patient. My one unique qualifier: I was in a terrible car accident when I was little. I have titanium plates in the left side of my face. I told them the surgery to reconstruct various shattered bones actually went through my gums. And so it began. This had occurred when I was going into third grade, but I was tossed to do various X-Rays, more than the normal patient. They showed around pictures of my face to all staff with interest. Dr. Bell (David) said one of my roots looked dead. When I had assured him I have normal feeling in my mouth, and all the sensitivities that go with it to hot and cold, he didn't let me off the hook. Suddenly, he's applying liquid ice to my teeth. The result, I felt cold and then it subsided. I thought it was unnecessary. Their professionalism, passion and attention to detail were almost too much for me. They were stunned that myself and most of their patients had never experienced some of the high-tech capabilities that the dentistry performs. Twenty minutes of my appointment was a lecture about technology and how other dentists need to use such machinery for the best care of their patient. I respect the outpouring of advice, but it didn't necessarily have a place to resonate with me. I come from a small town, and things weren't done like they are here. I'm lucky to have experienced a new form of things. Then I was told how unusual my sealants were, and they were unable to get a full read on my teeth from their composition. I was dragged into another room, shown a twenty minute film and again, Dr. Bell began an outpouring discussion on my teeth, which made me feel both terrified and uncomfortable. It was a great deal of information and breaking down for a first-time visitor. Enough to make me feel scared away and overwhelmed. It's been over an hour now, at Bell Dentistry. I came for a teeth cleaning, which has yet to start. I went because my husband recommended the place. He loved their attention to detail and is a tooth-nazi himself. Dr. Bell even remembered my husband and specific points about him, which impressed me, knowing the sheer volume of people running in and out of medical establishments in the city. My teeth cleaning was precise and informative. I'm genuinely curious about processes and the woman who cleaned my teeth loved this. She told me all about the machinery, calculations and what her favorite procedures were and weren't. We even slipped in some conversation about favorite places in Cincinnati. I walked out, feeling mixed. I loved what I actually scheduled my time for -- the teeth cleaning. Everything else was a bit pretentious and overbearing. Trying to set up an expensive care plan on a first visit, which I learned was also attempted on my husband and other customers. Is it for you? If you love your teeth and want the highest level of attention and professionalism, I do believe Bell Dentistry is there and with leading technology. But if your feeling of appointments is get in and out, having a two hour and thirty minute dentist appointment probably isn't for you. The cost of this appointment was $288, which insurance will cover for some, I had to pay $95 of the price. Will I go back? Some of you probably are wondering. I think so. I really enjoyed my teeth cleaning, and, I hope, from now on, it will be just that. read more

Great experience, as always. Prompt, courteous and effective cleaning, just like every other 6 month visit.

I've been going to Bell Dental Group for years and am always happy with the care. I had a couple of concerns about one of my teeth and they addressed my concerns with patience, and a thorough review of that area of my mouth. I really love my hygienist and the care and personal attention she provides. read more

Great service and staff. Everyone is very polite and personable. They even remember your preferences for cleanings.

Kind, punctual, gentle, professional, clean, efficient-the best care in the city. The entire office = A+++ ! We refer Bell Dental Group to all our clients new to the area & those who are local looking for a dentist. Our family has been coming to Bell since we relocated over 24 yrs ago! read more

I have been to numerous dentists throughout my life and this is by far the best. Affordable, caring staff, knowledgeable, etc. I could go on and on about how great this place but I don't think people read long reviews read more

This place is the best. I had been putting off going to the dentist as long as possible due to bad experiences in the past and just after my first visit here I felt so much better! They explain everything and work with you to come up with the best solution and treatment plan in consideration of your time and financial situation. So glad my sister recommended me to them :-) read more

I have had multiple hygienists during my visits and worked with both Dr Maggie and Dr Chuck. They have all been exceptionally courteous and professional, and done a great job on my teeth! Before my first appointment, Dr Chuck gave me a call and asked if there was anything they could do in preparation to ensure I had a great first visit, which I really appreciated. They have been very flexible with scheduling, allowing me to reschedule appointments as needed due to work travel which came up unexpectedly. Would definitely recommend! read more

Almost twenty years ago, when I was 22, Dr Bell told me my teeth looked like a 45 year old. When I asked what he suggested, he said $11,000 worth of veneers. I was very upset for a long time and because I was young, actually allowed his comment to cause me to smile less. Fast forward years later, I had to have a bridge reattached and against my best judgement, I went back. He reattached the bridge and then came in with a camera. He took a photo (I assumed it was because of the bridge) and then said "this will make a great 'before' photo if we can whiten your teeth". I stopped going there after that, but my husband and children still go. Yesterday my sons both had their teeth cleaned. My six year old came home saying that the hygienist was mean and upset him. Apparently she told him "your brother was a much better patient than you." Incredibly unprofessional and inappropriate. If there is a problem with a child, you should talk to their parents (however, my six year old is generally very well behaved). I have absolutely nothing good to say about this office...not impressed with the staff or the dentists (minus Maggie, who seems very nice). Our family will be switching to an office that is professional and takes their patients' feelings into account. read more

Beautiful facilities and a professional knowledgeable staff who seem to really care about excellent service.

I love Dr. Chuck and his staff! My daughter and I have been going to see him for a few year and I actually look forward to the dentist now. Besides our regular check ups, Dr. Chuck does Invisalign and my consultations with him made really appreciate how much time he takes with his patients to go over various outcomes and to weigh the costs. His office is beautiful and his staff is sooo helpful and friendly. I only have good things to say about Bell Dental! read more

Two years ago I became a patient at Bell. There have been some great visits and some issues with staff and procedures. What has me ready to find another dental service is the resistance to canceling an appointment. They don't take texts or email cancelations ever and no phone cancelations on the weekend. The reminder by email does not allow me to uncheck the checkmark. So with a busy week ahead I am afraid I'll forget. Is this a service to me? No! I'm sure cancelations are an annoyance and can become excessive but treating me as if I work for them is not service. read more

This office is always on time which I love. The employees are great and the space is comfortable. I would definitely recommend!

I have never been a fan of going to the dentist, but I have been a patient of Dr. Maggie Ernst for a few years and I am always so impressed with the thoroughness and friendliness of the staff. The building is beautiful and inviting as well. I fully trust Bell Dental and I have recommended them to all of my family and friends in Cincinnati! read more

Not friendly. Consistently criticized my previous dentist, I got the feeling he thought he was better then other dentists. Did way to much prep to simply put a crown back in. Also, did not listen to my preference. Kept trying to push something I wasn't going to do. Way over-hyped! read more

I went in to get my wisdom teeth pulled I left with my wisdom teeth and $375 bill after they poked around then told me they don't extract, which is what I called them for and also told them I needed at the front desk upon arriving for my appointment... WHY TELL ME TO BRING MY CAR IN FOR SEVICE IF YOU ONLY SELL GROCERIES read more

I had a certificate to get my teeth whitened. I expcted to be treated with less importance than a full paying customer once they learned of my certificate. That was not the case at all. Their staff won me over with their professionalism and attentive service. Oh year, the quality of their work was outstanding too. As a result, I scheduled a teeth cleaning with them. read more

Had a great experience today with Dr. Maggie and the dental hygienist. I had no wait prior to my appointment and found the office staff to be very professional. read more

Made a point of mentioning I no longer have dental insurance, so I need to keep this affordable and ended up at $271. The flouride was being applied without any one asking if I wanted it. I did agree to the bitewing xrays. I had called to determine the cost, $102 was quoted but the Periodic oral eval is also a given and at $57 feel it should be told is part of the checkup cost. I thought I would be paying $175 but didn't. I know they do good work, but want to know what it is costing. That was almost $100 more than I anticipated and I thought I did my homework before hand. Frustrating AND expensive!! read more

Dr Maggie and her team are friendly, professional and thorough. I've had both routine and crown work done and been very pleased. Kudos!

I've never been a fan of going to the dentist, now my fear has grown to even higher heights. I went to Charles for a routine yearly cleaning. He found 8 tiny cavities in my mouth under previous sealents. This was surprising to me (I had never had a cavity before) but I mistakingly put my trust in them to take care of the problem. When I came in the following week to get fillings, they told me that they would be using the sand-blaster on my teeth. About a week later, I realized that the pain in my mouth that took place immediately after recieving the fillings hadn't gone away. It actually was getting worse. I called, they put me on an antibiotic and saw me the following week. When I visited again, Charles told me that I would need a root canal on my upper tooth that was hurting. Yes, I do know that many times a filling can lead to a root canal, but I was very surprised considering that Charles told me my cavities were so tiny. At the endodontist, I learned that I had a void in another one of my fillings (next to the root canal tooth). WOW. So I needed a root canal...now I need a new filling because of a void? Great. At Bell Dental, I told them that my endo found a void in the x-ray on my tooth. I didn't tell them what tooth and when they took an x-ray, they found a void...ON A DIFFERENT TOOTH. So now, I had to get 1 root canal, and 2 voids were found. Yes, Charles told me that they'd fix 1 filling for free...but there was NO WAY I'd be letting them in my mouth again. I moved and found a great new dentist. He told me that the void next to the root canal tooth will probably need a root canal in the future as well. This tooth had been bothering me for a while as well. Basically, here's my story. One visit to the dentist left me needing 2 root canals and 2 voids (visible to the dentist...I wouldn't doubt that I have more). Bell Dental's office is beautiful and high-tech complete with a kind staff. Don't let that fool you. No matter how beautiful, nice and high-tech everything is, if the dental skills are seriously lacking that's enough to turn you off. Please do yourself a favor and do not visit Bell Dental. Don't listen to Cincinnati Magazine's rating! read more

I had a really bad and expensive experience here. Briefly, when I went to this practice Dr. Bell convinced me that all of my fillings needed to be replaced and additional work also needed to be done. After multiple onlays (larger than fillings but smaller then crowns) I had continuous pain. Dr. Bell told me I was grinding my teeth and sold me a molded plastic plate to cushion the grinding. The pain continued and Dr Bell basically told me the pain was in my head. One of his hygienists also was not very kind about the situation. On my third visit for the pain (after 6 months) Dr Bell referred me to an endodontist for root canals which I had in three of the teeth where he replaced fillings. When I went to a new dentist, he found on x-ray that there was space between one of the remaining onlays and the tooth, perhaps a reason for pain. I called Dr Bell's office and was told that if there was a problem Dr Bell and his staff would redo the the procedure. I opted to pay out of pocket to have the work done elsewhere. I will say the office looks really nice, my experience, however, was terrible. I would not recommend this office. read more

I have seen a lot of dentists in my time, but Bell brothers are perhaps the worst and most unethical ones I have seen. They have charged me for services that they didn't do (thinking insurance would pay it, who cares), and the teeth they filled, all ended up needing root canal! read more

I always recommend Bell Dental to anyone!!! They take good care of your pretty smile!!!

I have been a patient of the Bell Dental group since I arrived in Cincinnati in 1985. The office is always professional and I always felt that they truly cared for me as a person as well as for my dental health. The group has always invested in the highest technology available. Although they run a tight ship as far as schedule (I have never had to wait more than a minute or two) the staff and Drs. Could not be more cordial and friendly. I recently had an instance where I chipped a tooth and Dr Chuck attending to my concerns even in the off hours. These guys are truly as good people and professionals as you will find anywhere. read more

I have been to many dentist over the years and am so happy to have had the pleasure in both Dr's Dave and Chuck professionalism and knowledge. Cutting edge on all procedures and equipment. Homey office which is comforting since the dentist office is not a favorable place to be. Dr. Chuck recommended preventive care on my molars and I didn't head his advise so therefore over time my situation became worse. When I came in because I made the phone call, they didn't make me feel bad about my choice to postpone the inevitable and have the proper preventative care of my teeth. Yes, I was in the chair for quite awhile But it was time invested in me and having the best care possible. Thank you to this professional staff and Dr's Dave and Chuck! My son is now a patient. read more
