Our goal is to develop a trusting relationship that helps us build on your dental health, without having to send our patients out to other practices. We have built a team that can offer a solution to most any dental need you may face in house with someone you know and trust.

Dr. Krishingner is great! He is the first dentist I've ever had that is truly painless. I received 2 shots in my mouth and never felt one. Continuously concerned with my comfort as well as great dental work.

I've been coming here for a few years. They always take such good care of me. Very hospitable with blankets and making sure I'm ok the entire time. Very reassuring with every procedure and thorough with their treatment plans.

Monday I had my first visit to Tryon Family Dentistry and it was a great experience. Cute office and easy to get to location in downtown Tryon. Michelle greeted me as I entered and was very friendly and efficient. Dr Planer was knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She spent plenty of time with me. Same wtih Amanda who cleaned my teeth. Very thorough and gentle. She explained things I could do to improve my oral cleaning routine, but also gave me positive feedback. Based on my experience during this visit, I highly recommend Tryon Family Dentistry

I was in and out so fast with a pleasant experience and no extra fees or charges. I think this was probably my best dental experience ever and I have had lots of work done. 5 out of 5 will recommend to everyone!

I have known Dr K for numerous years professionally in the dental field. I recently found out I needed his dental expertise, with my daughter who needed a tooth pulled. It was recommended to me that we should consider seeing a specialist and I spent significant time calling around everyone was booked up, would require multiple trips and the fees were quite high. Meanwhile, my daughter was in pain, we needed to do something right away. I ran my scenario by him and he told me he could absolutely do the work. He fit us in to his busy schedule, pulled the tooth painlessly with ease and care of an expert dentist. It was an absolutely fantastic patient experience, he handled the whole ordeal with class, confidence and outstanding bedside manner . He even checked in with us after the procedure, this is a lost art of times past. Office is super clean and everyone was friendly. If you are within driving distance and need to see a dentist, this is where you need to go. Highly recommend without reservation.

Haven't had the best teeth health, I've always struggled with going to the dentist. Went to have a cleaning and they made me feel very unwanted. Will not be going back. You guys are supposed to help people, not put them down for their situation. Will never be supporting Noble again. This review doesn't reflect Planer, have never been with him.
