They utilize an awesome appointment scheduling software that reminds you of appointments and I've always found it easy to reschedule when necessary. No waiting months to get in like some practices.

Filing our dental insurance and using our flex medical spending account has always been seamless with the competent staff at checkout. If you are looking for a dentist in Raleigh, I highly recommend Dr. Ashley Lloyd.

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.

Then they tried to quote me nearly $400 for two deep cleaning visits and did not use my insurance to cover the cost. I was in the office explaining that I was only a few weeks pospartum and could not afford to spend that amount I even begged to do just a regular cleaning, but they claimed they could do it because they didn't have time and couldn't in good consciencedo a regular cleaning when I needed a "deep cleaning." I was in the office crying to my husband over the phone, not knowing the whole time that my insurance would have covered it. When I went home, Without any cleaning or treatment of any kind, I checked my insurance and confirmed that perio maintenance cleaning was covered in my insurance and that they just did not apply my insurance correctly. I would have had to pay almost $400 for something that was already covered by my insurance for free. Then this morning I checked my dental insurance and they submitted a claim for a dental cleaning they did not perform. It is going to be a nightmare to sort this out with my insurance. WATCHOUT!!! THIS PLACE IS A SCAM!!!

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.

I had an appointment this month and came in at 5 minutes to 8:00 no one was there my appointment…read morewas at 8:00 I went to use the restroom when I came out I Heard a voice and stuck my head around the corner and said do you know where the office staff is got yelled at a woman came in about 5 minutes later I told her what had just happened and no one was still there and she went down the same hallway even though I told her what the result would be the woman yells at her even louder no one showed up or started showing up at that desk until almost a quarter after 8:00 which is 15 minutes past my appointment time then they proceeded after the other woman left to be rate her where the whole entire office could hear her and the woman who yelled at me and yelled at her started hysterically screaming like she was having a temper tantrum because another woman came around the corner and said we need to lock the door on the hallway so people don't go down there now we all know it is common sense if you go to an appointment and it's dark and the doors unlocked and nobody's there you make your presence known because if I showed up 15 minutes late my appointment would have been canceled and they would have tried to charge me then found out from the dentist that I saw that information on my medical history that is extremely important was never put into my file I've been seeing them for over a year Unacceptable and unprofessional

I decided to check out Loren Dental since I was in the market for a new dentist, and believe it or…read morenot, I actually found them through a review on TikTok. 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.

I cannot say enough good things about this place. Dr. Joy has been absolutely amazing from day 1!…read more I was very reluctant to get my veneers redone mostly because, like many, absolutely hate having my teeth worked on and I wasn't mentally prepared for the process (but let's face it, was never going to be :). The day I walked into Crabtree Valley Dental, I was greeted warmly by everyone and one of the front desk staff even came out and MOVED her car for me because there weren't any parking spots left. At my first appointment, they gave me a questionnaire asking me how I wanted to be communicated with (ex. "just do what you need to do, I don't want to know", "tell me everything", etc.) which I now don't understand why all doctors don't do! I was then formally introduced to every single person I encountered from the tech to the doctor all the way to the billing person. Furthermore, what initially began for mechanical reasons has now turned into an entire transformation of my smile. Every step of the way, each team member I worked with encouraged me to not stop until I was 100% happy, including and mostly Dr. Joy. In the beginning I figured they were just being nice, but they were not. Dr. Joy was so invested in me being absolutely content and confident in my teeth and smile again. Somewhere along the way I decided to also get gum contouring and she personally called the periodontist on more than one occasion to make sure everything went well and I was taken care of. She was also in contact with the prosthetist every step of the way. The last thing I was worried about (and then I'll stop rambling) was the temporaries looking funny while the veneers were made. I was apprehensive about sharing photos yet because these are just the temps and I chipped one by accident, but attached is a before and after! I didn't have a great before pic, but the difference is amazing. If you're in need of any dental work, I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Joy at Crabtree Valley Dental.

They also send text and email reminders of appointments. I'd like to see a more personal touch from the rest of the staff.

I am not finished but am thrilled with the results so far and the payment plan is greatly appreciated.
