I'm 26, I've been going to Lyndhurst since I was four years old. Nearly everyone I know has had a nightmare experience at a dentist office, I cannot relate. Dr. Porter and his team have been nothing but professional and helpful for the 20+ years I've been using this office. My three year old came to the office with me for the first time, at the suggestion of the staff, to get her used to the office as she'll soon need cleanings, X-rays, etc..... Everyone in the office was very nice and did a great job of easing her into her first trip into a dental office. I can't recommend Lyndhurst enough, I'll never go to another dentist.

Dr. Ayuso is the best dentist I have ever worked with. I have been seeing her for years and she always remembers things we have talked about (kinda nice when she sees so many patients and I only see her every 6 months or so) and makes sure to take the time to go over any concerns or questions I have. I am now seeing her for my Invisalign journey and am very excited about her treatment plan for me. I have recommended her to friends, family and coworkers and my husband is now a patient of hers. He hates going to the dentist but can't say enough great things about Dr. Ayuso and her assistant, Libby.

I came here for a second opinion after being told by another practice that I needed multiple fillings at my initial visit. I have never had any problems with my teeth so this was shocking to me. At Lyndhurst Dental, Dr. Porter and assistant, Tori were very helpful and kind, answered all of my questions, and reassured me that my teeth didn't need any fillings. I felt very confident with their care and evaluation. Dr. Porter also took extra time to answer other questions I had and gave me recommendations, for which I was very grateful. I will be continuing care with them from here on and recommending their office to others!

I began using this practice with Dr. Holder in the mid 1980's and now see Dr. Porter. The dental care is excellent in all aspects and the compassion for the client is evident in their actions. Thanks to all the staff for their diligence and caring.

I have nothing but good things to say about the Delta Dental office in Winston Salem, from Dr. Lor down to the receptionists and to the dental hygienists, Tonia and Brittany, it is a wonderful group of professionals.
