I love being the first interaction our patients have when they walk through our doors. Some patients come into the practice with a lot of dental fear and just by sitting and listening to them Im able to show them how much we truly care.

I made my first appointment with Live Oak Dental and I was so happy I chose this practice as my new Dentist. From my phone call to make my appointment, to my first visit the staff were so professional. They really make you feel comfortable, they are caring and take the time to answer any questions I had. If you need a Dental practice in the Wilmington area I would certainly suggest you give them a call and make an appointment, you will be very satisfied that you did.

I was hoping to find a dental practice that could replace the one I moved from. I received excellent care before and I wanted this to continue. Live Oak Dental exceeded my expectations on every level! The practice is state of the art with a kind and highly skilled staff. This was evident from the time I walked in until the completion of my visit. I am very grateful I found them!

Dr Duffy & the staff are second to none. Everyone here is super friendly, does excellent work, & they're always so punctual. The longest I've ever had to sit in their waiting room is 5 minutes. It makes me wish they'd take over operations at every doctor office in the country.

This was my first visit to Live Oak Dental, as I recently retired to the Wilmington area. I was extremely impressed with the practice! Melissa and Meghan at the reception area were very welcoming and friendly, which was a breath of fresh air. They were very thorough and professional. The service dog was a nice touch. Anna was my hygienist and she was outstanding. She knows her craft well and was very gentle and friendly throughout my cleaning. She explained things clearly and thoroughly. I then met Dr. Duffy who was very welcoming, friendly and professional who went over my X-rays and discussed a dental plan moving forward. A great dentist. I am so pleased that I found this dental practice. Thanks for a great experience. Jack Murphy
