Second thing is their treatment plan. I know my teeth are not perfect, but I've been living with them my whole life and know what problems with them are. They created a plan for treatment with an estimate of more than $15,000, they included everything which didn't even bother me, and they didn't even ask me can I afford such money. They didn't ask me to prioritize it, it seemed like they just insisted on what they came up with. This is what's called the opposite to customer oriented business. Sorry, but I do not recommend this dentistry.

This was after I had told them I hadn't been able to go to the dentist in quite some time so you would think they would take their time cleaning. Then I was told I had numerous cavities and rather give me care options or show me on the x-rays where they were they rushed me to schedule an appointment for two fillings that would be roughly $500 out of pocket. Thankfully I was able to obtain the x-rays they took and I'm going to show it to my family dentist and try to see them even though they are three hours away. I had a friend go and her experience was much better hence why I trusted going to this place but guess I got the wrong people I don't know.

Four years ago I cracked my tooth on a roughly chopped piece of meat (bone). This was especially…read moredistressing because I'd avoided going to see a dentist for about 17 years. Yeah, I'm aware that was a horrible idea but my whole youth dentists would pump anesthetics into my gums that didn't work. When I complained I was given more of the same ineffective drug or ignored. With memories of sitting in a dentist chair with tears streaming down my face from the very present pain of a drill I wasn't looking forward to dealing with that again. A co-worker recommended I try Lane and Associates off of Wade Ave. There was no denying I had to get the cracked tooth taken care of so I made an appointment, asked for prayers, took a sedative and went. Like no lie, I asked my PCP for anxiety meds specifically so I would go. He thought I was kidding until I started panicking that he wasn't going to give them to me. I made my husband take time off from work to accompany me. With tears already streaming down they took x-rays and examined my tooth. I was so obviously terrified that the dentist examining me didn't think he could work on me and considered sending me to a real sedation specialist. He asked me if I thought I could keep myself together during the actual drilling and filling of the tooth. We discussed my issues with anesthetics and worked out a plan and some hand signals so I could communicate if I was ok or not once tools were in my mouth. We set a future appt for the actual drilling and because of how patient, accommodating, and understanding he was I actually went back. He placed me on nitrous oxide for a full 30 minutes and finally we began. He didn't use any of the anesthetics I had told him didn't work. He took his time. My tooth was fixed and it was my first positive experience with a dental office. I can't say I was totally over my dentist fears. It was another year and half before I went back; knowing a decade and half of avoidance had led to cavities. I had 5 cavities to address. I took my mom this time. We broke up the fillings into 2 appts. The dentist (a different one) and I figured out (again using hand signals) that no anesthetic fully works for deep drilling but I can handle it if we take a few breaks for me to collect myself. It wasn't even about my pain threshold it was about being heard and respected enough to be given some measure of control in these appts. I've made and kept every 6 mth appointment since then. A year ago I began foregoing the sedatives (oral and gas). 6 mths ago I went to the dentist by myself for the first time EVER. I can't say enough how much I love this dental office or what a positive impact they've had on me. Everyone that works here has been amazing. Dentists, techs, and hygienists. I can't recommend them enough. They literally redeemed the entire dental experience for me.

WHAT EVER YOU DO NOT GO HERE…read more I took a chance these guys as a new dentist after moving to raleigh. I knew I may have an issue or two but thank god I didn't let these money grubbing losers actually do anything to my teeth, because first of all: the cleaning: took maybe 15 minutes MAX. that was my first red flag... then, they told me I had SEVEN CAVITIES. SEVEN. this absolutely ruined my day. I was freaking out, and they were jumping at the bit to charge me 1000s of dollars right there in the chair and get to work right away. In addition to hundreds of dollars for a tiny dot of dental glue for my retainer (takes literally 15 seconds). I decided to go get a second opinion from my original dentist back home who I trust dearly, and only had TWO. Lastly, my trusted dentist emphasized how bad, and lazy of a job they did on not just cleaning my teeth, but even taking my X rays. Save yourself from these looser messing up your smile, and charging you thousands for it. Horrible that these places exist.

I figured why not and booked a teeth cleaning. First impressions, I absolutely love the office. It is clean, modern, and just has a really welcoming vibe. The staff is super friendly and professional, which always makes a difference. Their booking system is also a 10 out of 10. I love a place where I can schedule everything through text, especially on those low social battery days haha! After my cleaning, I ended up needing a few fillings replaced, and that experience was just as smooth. Dr. Wilson made sure I was comfortable the entire time, and I was in and out without any stress. Safe to say I have found my new dental home. Definitely check them out if you are looking for a new dentist!
