Firstly. I was 12. They TRICKED ME into thinking I needed braces for the tiny gap between my front…read moretwo teeth, but told me it would be for MAXIMUM a year and a half. No. It was five years of braces that I didn't need in the first place. Not only did they get me to put braces on my top teeth but also my bottom teeth that had nothing wrong with them to begin with AND I was later told by a dentist that my bottom teeth were extremely undersized to be putting brackets on them. After I had to have my dentist SEND A DOCTORS NOTE ORDERING THEM TO TAKE THE BRACES OFF they finally took them off after a year of me and my grandmother begging them to. Yeah my teeth were slightly straighter. I also had 9 cavities I had to get filled because they refused to ever take off the braces so I could get my teeth properly cleaned. After I got those cavities filled my retainer didn't fit. Orthodontist refused to give me or make me a new one. So now my teeth look the same as before anyways. The old guy who runs it IS CREEPY in my opinion and awkward. I am BEYOND angry with this establishment. I have HORRIBLE gum decay and recession from this entire experience because they were money hungry and cared more about that then the 12 year old's oral health. I am 20 now and got my braces off at 17 and STILL AM SUFFERING THE CONSEQUENCES. Don't go here.

In November and December 2024, I paid for dental services for my daughter because we did not have…read moreMedicaid coverage at that time. Even though I told them that we are currently waiting for insurance and cannot afford to pay for multiple services, I clearly said that I only wanted to proceed with what was urgent for my daughter. Dr. Athena insisted on also doing a cleaning and a full dental x-ray examination, just so I would have to pay more out of pocket -- which clearly suited her. She didn't take into account that I only wanted the tooth extraction, the rest we would do once we have insurance. In the end, she convinced me to go ahead with procedures that weren't urgently necessary. But from that moment, I realized that, for them, money matters more than the patient's current situation. In February 2025, my daughter was approved for Medicaid, including retroactive coverage for the previous three months (November 2024 to January 2025). I explained this to the clinic and provided them with the official Medicaid approval letter confirming that my daugher was covered for those months, including November and December. The clinic scanned the letter and told me they submitted the necessary documentation to request payment from NC Medicaid for those visits. They received the payment from Medicaid by the end of March 2025. However, even though three months have passed, they still have not returned the amount I paid. I have followed up with them multiple times, and they continue to delay the refund, saying it will be reviewed by a manager or done at a later date. Despite these promises, no action has been taken. At this point, I am now going to file a complaint with the NC Medicaid Ombudsman and NC Department of Health and Human Services and after that I will go to the Office of the North Carolina Attorney General, which investigates cases where a clinic receives payment from both the patient and Medicaid, and then refuses to return the money to the person who is legally entitled to it.

As a parent with a complicated relationship with dentistry because of some less-than-great…read moreexperiences, it was important to me that my kids have an incredible dentist from the start. Big Little Smiles absolutely knocked it out of the park. From answering all of my questions when scheduling and frequent helpful text reminders, to the super fun waiting room and incredibly patient and kid-friendly staff - our first visit was epic. Their priority is making sure first timers have a good experience - so when one of my kiddos didn't want to lie back in the chair, they said no problem, stand! When they got nervous about something, all questions were answered and then they did a fun, rapport-building distraction before getting back to business. It was masterful. I'm not sure I would believe this if I read it in a review but I swear it's true: when we left, my kids asked when they can go back to the dentist. They wave and smile when we drive by the office. They're obsessed. And so am I!!!
