I been going to this place for a while now just a little over a year or so. First time I came I had got a cleaning and some X-rays done. Nothing major but the next time I had to get some filling filled which was fine, after my mouth was so sensitive to hot and cold for awhile I couldn't even chew on one side of my mouth. I wouldn't recommend anyone to go here for thought everything was okay, but first off he's too rough while working in your mouth. There should not be any reason your mouth should be hurting from getting fillings. Recent I had to get my annual cleaning which I did but he told me I had to new cavities that needed to be filled. I was all for it now it's time for my appointment I was a little irritated already because I had been waiting on n the lobby already for an hour. The nurse told me they were a little understaffed I was like okay. Still I get to the back I'm waiting 30-45 minutes still. Just overall don't come here, I will be looking for a new dentist

Worst experience ever in my dental life! (Medicade patient) Dr Chris was very rude and had no compassion for me or my anxiety. He is very quick, in and out. After being told I needed 3 teeth filled I went in for my apt. Was immediately called back. The assist put some numbing cream on my gums. I sat there an sat there and sat there until it wore off. I Asked for more. The 2nd time around it didn't numb as much. When he FINALLy came in I was of course nervous. Once he started with the numbing needle He told me to stop "kicking" and to unfold my hands bc i was squeezing them too hard and it was making my arms and neck tight. I told him i was not "kicking" my feet but it was my nerves. He didn't care what I had to say. He was agitated. We proceeded and I could still feel the pain. He was upset bc he had "gave me all the anesthetic that he could" but yet I still felt it. He worked VERY quickly. Fastest fillings I have EVER recieved. I cried the entire time. His conclusion is that I need to see a dentist that will put me to sleep due to my "anxity" I will never go back to him nor refer anyone there! Seems as if he's all about doing what ever just to get that insurance money! And let me add he says I have 1 more tooth that needs filled. Definitely not.

10/10 recommend! I recently got my wisdom teeth removed, and the doctor and his amazing assistant made sure I was very numb and felt no pain. This office has a super nice staff, and the place is very clean!

Reading these reviews and I'm just like WOW! We haven't had a bad experience here at all! We came to Dr. Ballinger because my son needed a root canal to save a tooth. He's 13. Well, after being in excruciating pain for over a week, we stumbled upon this place and he was seen the following day. Zero complications with the root canal, no complaints of terrible pain afterwards and my son was alert the whole time. Dr. Ballinger and his staff were super friendly! I chatted with him and his nurse throughout the whole procedure and never once noticed anything out of the way. No rudeness-- nothing but professionalism. He explained everything to both of us as he worked and I do believe we will consider him our new dentist.

I was told my daughter had a cavity & once I rescheduled an appointment TWICE , I was told to find another dentist. Once I did the dentist confirmed she had NO cavities at all!!! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD HERE!!!!

(Translated by Google) Terrible, I left my 8-year-old girl anesthetized just because the anesthesia hurt her and I got stung without scandal or shouting, it was just tears, I put my fingers in it to make it come out and then she told me that she was not going to attend to her when she was anesthetized without gel to numb him a little that was so unfair that's why from my part lousy service and professionalism. (Original) Pesimo dejo mi nina de 8 anos anestesiada solo por que le dolio la anestesia y yoro un pico sin escandalo ni gritos fue solo lagrimas m trono los dedos para que me saliera y despues m dijo que no la iva atender cuando la avia anestesiado sin gel para entumeserle un poco eso fue tan injusto por eso demi parte pesimo servicio y profecionalismo.

Do not go here! I got 14 fillings done over the period of several weeks. I had very little to no tooth pain before hand. It's been months since I go the fillings, and every time I eat, I am in excruciating pain. I can't eat anything hot or cold, and anything with sugar makes me double over in pain. They ruined my teeth. Stay away.

This was the worst experience EVER!!. Dr. Christopher was so rude with my children and me. He said my 2 older daughters had cavities and I went to schedule another on another dentist to see If it was true they said they said they didn't have cavities. The Ballinger Family dentist was the worst. I would not refer nobody to that dentist.

Well I had absolutely no problems out of my teeth for 35 years. I take great care of my teeth I have never been in pain with any of my teeth. Never had a problem with a filling. I went to see Ballinger beginning of November he stated I had a small cavity. Needed a filling. I was very surprised as I have never had any problems or pain in that area. I let him talk me into getting the filling, immediately same day I could tell something was wrong, before my teeth was very close together. Had to pry floss between these two teeth, After the "filling" I could fit my toungue between my two teeth, I was immediately frantic. I went back. He reconstructed that tooth, now it feels fake to say the least, he blamed it on me saying I must have done something to chip it. No I could tell something was wrong not even 2 hours after. And I had not eat or drank anything. I believe he drilled off too much of my tooth. He was rude , fast talking and didn't care at all about the pain I was in that visit. I only went back because other dentist don't like to fix other dentist mess ups. I am a Medicaid patient. So it's hard to find a dentist that accepts Medicaid anyways. So unfortunately I Went back again still in pain almost a month couldn't eat on the left side of my mouth. He says. I grind my teeth and might need a root canal. Or to loose the tooth. That is unacceptable, How? What? Are you serious? I had no pain at all before I let this man work on my mouth. When I said twice. I had no problems before you did these " fillings " "he said "you can repeat your self all you want" I can't Believe how he treated me. How rough he was with my mouth and how he pretty much messed up my tooth and had no remorse for it. I wouldn't recommend any one going here. I wish I never would have went, now I might be loosing my first tooth as an adult, all because of him, and he didn't care not one bit.

My 11 year old daughter couldn't sit in the waiting room while I got my teeth cleaned. That said she had to sit in the car. I had no other choice but to bring her with me because it was spring break and otherwise she would have been at school. (Btw there was one teenager waiting In the waiting room and he was supposedly waiting on a ride) This was only the last straw that caused me to find another dentist. Last visit I waited for over an hour after I was injected with numbing for the doctor to come back and fill my tooth. The fact that my jaw was still numb after all that time tells me that he knew he was going to make me sit there an hour and gave me that much more to keep me numb throughout his other patient's visit. It was so much numbing that it knocked me out for about 5 minutes. That seems unethical to me.

The doctor according to my wife talked down to her the whole time and was just really rude the whole time. First time at a dentist for my daughter. According to numerous reviews from other sites this is how this guy rolls and conduct business. Rude and nasty and will be reported to state of North Carolina the BBB and right across the street to wxii no wonder no phones are allowed so no one can catch the rude comments and interaction you have.

I have not been to the dentist in about 14 years. Dr Chris is awesome and his team has put my mind at ease with dental anxiety. I have had old fillings replaced. New ones done as well as wisdom tooth removal. All done pain free and in a comfortable setting. Dr Chris makes quick work of dentistry, no laying around half the day in jaw strain. I would not hesitate to recommend his practice and I am very pleased with service. Thanks Ballinger dental!!

Hadn't been to the dentist in over 7 years (ashamed) and needed some emergency dental work. They got me in quick and made sure i was comfortable, have had 2 extractions and can say i was very pleased, was offered more numbing at the slightest hint of pain and everyone was very friendly. Look forward to my next visit. Took away my extreme fear of the dentist.
