Went and add 4 teeth extracted, gave me the run around for 2 hours after telling them something was very wrong. Wound up in hospital for 6 hrs being treated for shock and blood loss. I'll definitely be going somewhere else from now on, I've never had an issue like this before and I've had 6 teeth removed prior to this at another dental office

This was my first visit with the team at the Dental Care Center and I was overjoyed with my experience! The entire team was quick and efficient and took extra good care of my gums! A good periodontist is essential when you have gum disease and this team will handle my care for a long time going forward!

I come here 4 times a year between myself and my kids. We've been going here for 13-14 years. The wait time and staff have gone way down hill. I'm here once again 50 minutes past my appointment time and still have not even been called. I've been here minimum 2 hours for a cleaning each time lately.

Never prepay. They will keep the money and it will take months to receive a refund. Staff is rude. Dentist are extremely inexperienced and shady. Be warned

This place mess my teeth up worst that it was. My old fill in was not that horrible. Had it in for few years. He was suppose to redo the fill. He drilled way to far and I can tell a week later still in pain. I was never in pain like this before I meet this place. It was supposed to be a fill in, because my old fill was cracked. Now it feel like my tooth is lose and about to fall out. I can hardly eat on that side.. They want me to do a root canel, because it's close to my nerve, but it never got that close. the way he drilled too deep in my mouth, now it is close. When I do get it fixed they will not get any benefit from it, because I'll be going somewhere else.

My family of 6 have been doing our dental care here for 15 years. Through routine care and several emergencies, we have always been pleased with the care provided. Clean and pleasant atmosphere, polite staff and great dentists!

My kids and I absolutely love this place. My kids used to go to Smile Starters but they weren't being listened too about their issues. So, I took them here and my kids gushed to me how much nicer and more considerate they are.

Been coming here for a good four years. Since Covid it has not been the same. I am not sure if they just hire anyone now or what. Seems to be running into this issue a lot these days. The staff before Covid was awesome. Keep record of your dental procedures prices for your own sake.

This was my first visit, I loved the look inside very clean and the atmospheres was peaceful and calm.. the hygienist was so very nice and well knowledgeable. She really went into great detail and made me just want to stay and talk to her all day. The Dentist was very nice as well. I'm looking forward to my next appointment. This is the the Dentist offic you want

Doctor did great job but having 5 teeth pulled at one time was too much on me and I hurt all day and night after numbness word off. I can't have the other 10 pulled at one time. I hope it can be done in 2 separate visits but we will see how it goes

This is the worst dentist I have ever been to. I would not send my children here if you paid me or done the work for free. I came from over an hour away to be seen and was told when i arrived that i could not be seen and would have to reschedule. On top of that, i spoke with staffing 5 minutes prior to my arrival and she told me that it was fine. I explained ti her i would be 5 minutes late. I am in a lot of lain and on the other hand, my car is having manor major malfunctions On the way there. Day and night dental is the best place to go to in fayettville and they accept Medicaid also.They will have my business from here on out.
