If you DREAD going to the dentist... keep reading. This review is for you!!…read more This review is long overdue. I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with Cary Family Dental, especially Dr. Wooten, has stayed on my mind, and I felt like I needed to share it. I switched from my previous dentist over 3 years ago. While the dental work was good, the experience had started to feel transactional, more focused on what else needed to be done and the cost rather than care and compassion. Every visit made me anxious. I always felt like I was getting a report card and somehow never getting an "A." Eventually, I just stopped going. And if you know me, that is SO unlike me. I'm a "get it done" kind of girl and pretty tough, but when it came to the dentist, I was over it. My husband and son had been going to Cary Family Dental for years and kept encouraging me to go. I finally made the call, and from that first appointment, it felt different. My hygienist, Melanie (I hope I got her name right! ), was amazing. She was thorough, caring, compassionate, and immediately put me at ease. She's also been with the practice for many years, which tells you something. Then I met Dr. Wooten, and I truly cannot say enough about him. Right before the 4th of July weekend, I needed a crown on a tricky back molar. After the office had closed for the holiday, my temporary crown came off. I called the emergency number expecting I'd probably have to deal with it until after the holiday. Dr. Wooten called me right back. He was literally about to leave town for his own holiday weekend, yet he came back to the office to redo my temporary crown because he didn't want it coming off again and ruining my weekend. I felt terrible that I was delaying his travel plans. He was only concerned about making sure I was okay. That is the difference between simply receiving dental care and feeling genuinely cared for. The following week, he placed my permanent crown with the same kindness and attention to detail. Do I suddenly LOVE going to the dentist? Let's not get carried away. I still have anxiety. But I know I'm walking into an office where I'm going to be treated with kindness, compassion, and respect. After putting off the dentist for far too long, I finally feel like I've found "my people." Cary Family Dental is where my family goes, and now, very happily, it's where I go too. Dr. Wooten, thank you for going above and beyond when you absolutely didn't have to. It meant more than you probably realized.

#1 Sat in the outer waiting room forever as a new patient. Was last to be walked in…read more #2 Dental hygienist was great so that was a good thing, although too many touchy-feely questions for my like. I was there for a teeth cleaning, and some x-rays. #3 The tooth cleaning was less than impressive. Some of my deepest stains did not come out and they did not have answers for why they could not get them out "in my opinion". They were all ready to do extra fillers above my eye teeth to augment where the stains were. This would be at my cost, and would make the stains, invisible to the naked eye. #4 when I went to check out, I find out there is no coordination of benefits, which was never mentioned at any point when I spoke to the office manager or staff person during the initial interview. So now I'm going to have to file the extra paperwork myself. Not cool! #5 The straw that broke the camels back is several weeks later, when I receive the bill from the insurance company stating that this dentist office is out of network for my insurance company, which I specifically asked them to check and was told they "accepted my insurance". Now I don't know what that means to them, but to me, it means that they are in network for my insurance company. Surprise, they aren't! I owe almost $350. Again, not cool!

Marge cleaned my teeth and was very caring, Autumn was her assistant and was also super sweet and kept me calm. I got Maya as my dentist and she was patient and kind as well. I have emetophobia & everyone was sure to walk me through the whole process bc I was nervous about gagging. I haven't gotten my teeth cleaned in 3-4 years so mine were pretty rough and I was still only charged the $97, so not sure what other reviewers were talking about.. Going in I was a little nervous because of the other yelp reviews but I actually had a really good experience. To note it did take me a long time as a new patient to get set up, I was in there for 3 hours for all the exams, x rays, cleanings and walkthrough of what procedures I needed. I don't think this is a bad thing as they want to gather as much info as possible on your teeth but be prepared to be here a while.

I had a major surgery coming up and I needed to have my dental issues clear before the surgery. A male Spanish speaking dentist worked on them, at the very same moment he installed the first bridge I told him that it didn't feel right, the owner of the place came and worked on it for a few minutes assuring me that after a few days it would feel fine, that I needed to get used to it. on the second bridge he installed a provisory one. I called a few days later and send many emails saying that the bridge he installed didn't feel right, that food was getting stuck and shape was not matching the rest of my molar structure, the color was way off compared to the rest of the teeth and I had a sensation when chewing. They ignore my messages for a long time. When they finally responded, they did so with the assumption that I was going there to pay for the one that I had the temporary tooth worked on. I told them that I needed the one that was given me issues fixed. They said in an email that I needed to pay for the temporary bridge over $5000 in order for them to fix what they did wrong. In January a few months after my surgery, I responded saying that I only wanted them to fix what they did wrong with my bridge, basically I wouldn't allow them to work on my mouth on the other bridge. They were only thinking on the money without any regard for my health, they were upset because I complained that the bridge they installed was a mess. And kept saying that it was me that I didn't like it. I told them that is not about like or not liking it, I complained because they did a terrible job with it, and to this date is causing lots of issues and discomfort. Then they send me a message saying that they didn't want me in their office again and saying that they will not send me to collection for a balance due on my account (I don't owe them anything, I paid a lot of money for the bridge they messed up). unless they also charge to answer emails. I am very upset and disappointed with Stapleton Dentistry of Cary. They treated me very badly, unprofessionally and without any compassion even though I explained to them that I was going to have a major surgery. to this date I am still struggling and suffering with the messed they did on my mouth, trying to save up to go see a professional dentist. Beware!!! Beware!!! Beware!!! (I know they will comment saying that they are sorry for the way I feel, but didn't do anything to correct the issue, and won't do anything after the review)

I am a big baby but Dr. Stella along with assistants, Frank and Saran made me feel at ease from consultation to surgery and follow ups. The entire team at their different locations are friendly and professional. Some patients' reviews here may be frustrated with costs but I think there is no better investment than investing on oneself. Having a game plan is key to understanding the entire process, including financing. Tar Heel Periodontics is not in my insurance network but after consultation with the understanding of what's involved and inquiring coverage with my insurance company, I planned and prepared for the entire process from surgery to nutrition to follow ups. Tar Heel Periodontics earned my trust and I appreciate how they took care of me from my tooth extraction to after getting a crown. Thank you!
