am ashamed to say I had not been to the dentist in 8+ years. Just a function of laziness and putting it off, plus a situation where someone else used to make the appointments for me. I decided I was being stupid and needed to get this back on track, so I started researching online. I have heard many, many, many commercials for Mint Dentistry and other "Dentist in a Box" spots, but was skeptical. They tout the thousands of positive reviews online, which is valid to a point, but I've never found positive reviews that helpful. Look at the negative ones. There, I saw mention of the cattle-call/sheep-herd approach that happens at the new chain places - very little personalized service and a quick, surface level check. No thank you. In contrast, the reviews for Arts District were almost universally positive and touted the amount of time and attention spect with patients. I can now attest this is absolute reality. My initial appointment went for approximately two hours. In that time, totally covered and zero cost to me via my Metlife insurance, I received x-rays, multiple photographic reviews of all teeth, a thorough two-pass cleaning with the scraper thing, a brushing with the nasty dental pumice paste, gum assessment and finally an assessment by the dentist. Despite my long absence from the dental game, there was no judgement at all. I had a couple of fillings (30 years old) which need replacement. I have a spot on my tongue (probably because I bit it myself) which they want to keep an eye on. No push for extra services, no pressure at all. Just a happy staff glad you are taking responsibility for your teeth. read more

Did the best repair on my teeth possible. The staff is as kind as they come. Speedy service, yet takes the time to listen to concerns! Goes a long way in business's these days. Sure appreciate that and all the good staff. Thanks Dr Wear! FYI the front desk girl is the best I've ever had to deal with! read more

BEWARE Really a shame how unethical this office has become. Tried to scam the wrong person who has family in the industry . I have never in my life had someone attempt to refuse treatment unless getting on a deep cleaning schedule without showing evidence of any bone loss. A total money grab! How dare a medical profession treat patients like that when some can hardly even afford medical care. Shame on you Dr Wear!! Do yourself a favor and find a dentist that runs an ethical practice. read more

Just a sneaky company, did not feel like sharing the fact they aren't contracted through insurance agencies but still asked for my insurance card. Luckily I found out before my appointment where they would probably try to stiff me with a larger ticket then expected. read more

Dr. Padilla is, without question, the kindest, most thorough, most effective dentist I have ever encountered. He discusses every step of the process with you, he is constantly aware of how you are feeling and what you might need, and his work is superior to all other dental work I've seen. He has given me 6 veneers on my front teeth, several other crowns and fillings, and has always been willing to work through each step of the process with me. His office staff is informed and eager to help. Believe it or not--it's ENJOYABLE to go to the dentist. I know I will get taken care of, I never fear I will leave without an answer, and I feel comfortable calling them any time I have a question. read more

This is the sweetest Dentist! Everyone there is amazing! They genuinely care to make your smile perfection!

Do not trust your mouth to Dr. Eric Wear!!! Do not get a mouthguard from him! My insurance covered the cost at my new dentist ! I payed for 2 guards at Art District Dental! First one knocked off a gold crown and injured my lip! Finally offered me a new one , I paid for, didn't fit, too tight! He just cut out a portion ??? $418.00 guard??? The final straw , I was concerned about an X-ray of an implant and bone infection... he informed me " you can't get an infection in your bone" I was a patient for over 6 years! Beware! This is the first negative review I have ever written! Sad that integrity in this office is nonexistent! read more

Fantastic customer service. My Dental Assistant was very knowledgeable, kept me informed on what she was doing and why, and I loved her! Dr. Eric Wear was just as fantastic! He actually went over every tooth with me during my x-rays. No other Dentist has ever done this. He explained what procedures he recommends and what order to have them in to be most comfortable with. I am so happy I did my research and chose Art District Dental. Thank you and kuddos goes to the whole staff! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! :-) read more

First trip here and it was great! Kelsey was my hygenist and she was very informative and explained everything she was about to do in a very non-scary way. Their waiting room is very cozy and they have great receptionists. They also have a big tv above your chair so you can watch and not be focused on the pricking and prodding that comes with going to the dentist. And while Dr. Wear is with you, they'll pull up your xrays or photos on the tv so you can follow along. Great!! read more

Dr. Wear and his team are TOP NOTCH! I called in on a Friday morning with a dental emergency (unable to reach my regular dentist) and they were able to work me in that afternoon without hesitation. Needing more work than anticipated, front office and insurance guru, Adan, was able to contact my dental insurance and have a quote. Dr. Wear and Kerry were able to make my smile complete again. Thank you all so much, AHolder read more

I used to really enjoy my dental appointments and really loved my old hygienist Andy, but I went to my appointment she was gone. I waited 20 minutes to get called back and when I tried to ask the dr questions and he seemed very aloof. I used to like coming here but things were off read more

Recently moved to the area and needed a new dentist. I always have cavities no matter how much I brush and floss, so I am no stranger to the dentist. Was feeling some sensitivity Monday and got an appointment Wednesday (pretty good considering I am a new patient). The front office staff was very friendly and waiting room is cozy and updated. Only had to wait for about 5-10 min before going back. I was lead to the procedure room which had TVs with volume control and cable mounted right above the chair. I love this in a dentist. The equipment all seemed updated. Once I got in the chair the dental assistant, Aiden, was such a pleasure to speak with. Very nice and sociable. She put me at ease as she took my X-rays. Dr. Weir came and was a super nice guy. He put my X-rays on the TV overhead, and went over the options. Pretty soon he offered to do 2 fillings that day. Considering my 4pm appointment, I thought it was awesome he was willing to stay past 6:30 working on me. He numbed me up and him and his assistant went to work. The procedure was the usual but they had several tools that I had never seen before that were AWESOME. My favorite was a bite wedge that suctioned my mouth at the same time. Made the whole experience seem like I was chilling watching TV...with someone digging in my mouth. No stress of holding mouth open and holding your tongue back! Point is, if you are looking for a new dentist, go to Dr. Weir. You won't regret it. Was not expensive, his staff and facilities are great, and you will get quality grill work! read more

Just relocated to Fort Worth from northern Virginia and looked to yelp for the perfect dentist and I was not disappointed! Easy to find, clean office, everyone was polite and thorough! Happy to have found this place . read more

See all

"incredible" is an understatement... * everyone was extremely kind, welcoming, and hospitable. * the place was immaculate from the moment you walk in... the rooms are built with a modern style that fits the "art district" vibe. such a cool facility. * the dentist and his associate were such a pleasure to be with... they did a phenomenal job making me feel comfortable (super easy to talk to). i am pleased to say i have found the right place with the right people i can trust with my dental care. thank you! read more

Dr. Wear & his staff are amazing! I don't dread dentist appointments anymore because everyone is so nice and caring. The staff is always friendly whether you are calling to schedule an appointment, make a payment plan for multiple visits, etc. It's the little things that go a long way here like everyone asking how school is and remembering something I'd told them during my last visit. The staff is very personable and treat you with respect. I had a lot of issues with my dentist in Houston and was anxious about finding someone new. I don't think I could've found a dentist better than Dr. Wear! The office is very nice and clean. I love being able to watch TV while having my teeth cleaned. When I had cavities filled last year I was able to watch TV with headphones which was a great distraction from such an uncomfortable experience. The dental hygienist is very nice too. Instead of lecturing me about flossing she just gently reminds me to angle my brush toward the gums instead of making me feel bad about not flossing daily. I highly recommend Art District Dental! read more

I was trying to come to this dentist as a new patient, called back in May and was unable to get an appointment until late June which was fine. But this week they called saying they had to reschedule due to Dr. Wear needing to attend a funeral which I completely understand and he has my deepest condolences for his loss. But it was the fact at how unaccomodating they were to getting me rescheduled that has me writing this review. I was looking at almost a month out to be able to be seen due to their availability and my schedule. And when I finally said I guess I will just cancel, they didn't seemed at all concerned at trying to keep me as a patient. I was looking forward to trying this dentist out but now I'm back to the drawing board to find a dentist here in Fort Worth. read more

Dr. Wear is great! He is genuinely caring about the health of my teeth and has a great staff. His rates are low especially considering the level of care given. Highly recommended! read more

It was as good as it could be, considering I received three fillings! Everyone was very attentive, helpful and considerate!

I'm so happy I found Dr. Wear and his team! My dentist retired and it's been so hard to find a good dentist. This team was amazing, friendly and all around helpful. I highly recommend them and they will not disappoint. I finally have a new dentist! read more

Fantastic customer service. I live and work in Dallas, but I still come to Art District Dental because I love the staff so much! I've been here 3-4 times so far, but they always remember me by face and name. They genuinely care about their customers. The dental work is great too, but the customer service is what puts them over the top. read more

Greta dentist. Great staff. Very gentle and thorough.

My husband and I were in Fort Worth visiting family for the holidays when he came down with a really terrible tooth ache. Dr. Wear actually met my husband at his office on Christmas eve day. He prescribled antibiotics and pain relievers so we were able to enjoy the holiday. I think it'sespecially awesome, considering my husband wasn't an established patient, and he knew that he never would be, only because we live in another city. Very impressed with everything about this guy and his practice! read more

Just moved to town and cannot tell you how happy I was to find Art District Dental. The staff is AMAZING- super helpful and sweet. The Dentist was very kind and efficient. It was a wonderful experience and they even gave me complimentary X rays so my old dentist wouldn't have to send them over. The office itself is clean and comfortable and very welcoming. They even have televisions mounted on the ceiling above your chair so you can watch a show while they work if you want- I chose to chat with the cool dental hygentist instead. By far the best dental experience I have ever had- so good it prompted me to write my first Yelp review :) read more

I went to Dr. Wear after a recent bad experience at another dentist. The other dental office was unwilling to send over my X-rays for him to review, so instead of requiring me to pay out of pocket for them he said that he would not charge at all. He examined me very thoroughly and explained everything he was seeing until it made sense to me, then gave me a reasonable treatment plan. The hygienist Stephanie did an excellent job educating me about my teeth and how to keep them clean and healthy, plus gave me a special polish on the house. Carrie at the front desk was very helpful getting my appt set up and explaining the charges in my treatment plan. Great office!! I'm so relieved to have found an office I can trust after my bad experience elsewhere. read more

came here for standard dental work. was met with a high degree of professionalism and care from all the staff. Dr. Padilla is highly skilled, meticulous and caring. I am a health care professional myself and found out about this place from an oral surgeon. read more

Rude staff and even more disappointed in their treatment of long time customers. I would recommend anyone look for another dentist in the area. I missed an appointment because I woke up with harsh symptoms of COVID-19, and the last thing I was thinking about was the dentist. I was more focused on breathing and trying to get a hold of my doctor because symptoms were NOT mind in the slightest, and their policy is if you feel sick stay away. Unless they preferred I showed up anyways and stood their with my mouth open endangering them all? Well, months later after receiving nothing in the mail I get a phone call today at 9:00am advising me of a $50 balance for a "no show" - I kindly explained the situation and that I was sick and did not think to call the dentist and for two weeks you really don't care to think about much of any of that stuff other than getting better well, the dentist office's billing must be so desperate for cash that her response was "oh well, you should have called or came in to advise you were sick" ?!?! H O W ?!?! I've been a customer for a few years now and it sucks they don't care enough to lose a customer over desperation for $50, I would advise anyone to go elsewhere maybe with a more caring staff. They'll charge you a $50 fee in a pandemic during what I would think is the "worst case scenario" but as a customer I never cared when they were always late on appointments but hey that's the reflection of their establishment I suppose. Do yourselves a favor, and find another dentist to serve you better. read more

Had my first appointment here today. Was nervous since it's been years since my last exam and cleaning, but I really enjoyed this place. It was easy to get in and out of, didn't feel rushed or pretentious, and everyone was very kind. Doc was nice and really thorough, talked through his recommendations, and they gave me a clear breakdown of the recommended treatment plan (including what insurance covered, what I'd be responsible for, etc.). Very happy customer. read more

The staff here is wonderfully nice and give great customer service. Everyone from the front office to the dental hygienist as well as the dentist made me feel very comfortable. I will be back! read more

The tooth is it's always been a great experience here-----And I hate going to the dentist! I have a serious phobia and art district makes it bearable --- staff are wonderful! If you haven't gone to the dentist because you have dentophobia, then come here. They will take care of you! No judgment ! read more

Very pleasant experience. They got me into my appt early, the hygienist was great and Dr. Wear was thorough and took time to explain what he was seeing. This was my first appt at this dentist and I will be switching permanently to this location. read more

This place is great! I've been with them for almost 2 years now and the staff and service have been great every time. Dr. Weir and is genuinely nice guy and every hygienist I've been with has been super friendly and did a very good job cleaning my teeth. The facility is spot on and I can't say a single negative thing about them! read more

Very professional and helpful. Had some work done to my teeth and they made me very comfortable during the whole procedure. Highly recommend. read more

I totally agree with the previous reviewer about the high degree of professionalism, care and about Dr. Padilla's level of skill, especially the caring part. After having multiple work done in one day, Dr. Padilla personally called me later that night to check in and see how I was doing. Who does that these days? His team is amazing. Professional, courteous, highly-skilled and all the other adjectives you would associate with a first-class operation. I've visited two times in a span of one week (once for an initial visit/cleaning and then for work on main issue - chipped tooth) and both experiences have been pleasant (as one can have at a dentist office). read more

Hygienist, front office staff, and dentist were kind, thorough, and professional. Listened to my concerns and did a great job. I really don't like to go to the dentist, they made me feel comfortable! read more

Very quick consultation. Dr. Wear came in and discussed my concerns in 5 minutes. I am not sure if you would say that he was efficient or rushed but I did not get the same comfortable feeling many of the reviewers expressed. I did get some X-rays done and discussed options and cost for recommended procedures. I wanted to love this place like everyone but I didn't. Receptionist was very friendly. I guess I was suckered in to making an appointment by her kindness. Darn me! read more

I had been researching for a new dentist since I was new to the area when I found Art District Dental. I completed one appointment and was scheduled for two more. I called ahead of time to reschedule one of the two appointments because of an unexpected memorial and was told there would be a $50 charge for missing the appointment. The guy was sort of "short" or rude as well. Therefore, I decided to cancel the additional appointment and just chose a new dentist incase that was indicative of any possible future issues. read more

I am not a fan of the dentist AT ALL...until today. Dr. Wear and all his staff were absolutely amazing!! He gave me all the information and showed me pictures of what I needed to take care of in order to make educated decisions! They all gained my trust and future dental business!! read more

Usual good experience with my cleaning. However the dr never entered the room for his usual visual exam. That was a first, not getting looked at by the dr. read more

Very nice and knowledgable staff! They are happy to see you and accommodate your needs. Prices and care are fantastic!!

Dr wear is great. I am not an easy patient, but he always works hard to find what is most comfortable and easiest for me. Highly recommend arts district dental! read more
