very nice place to have your teeth fixed the people are very friendly. The doctors are great.

I have a fear of going to the dentist, but Atlantic Dentistry always puts my mind at ease. Ever since we relocated to the beach, I'm so happy we found the best dental office around. Dr. Ashley Parham and my hygienist, Deana, were both wonderful. I recently went in for a cleaning and also had a crown done, and the entire experience was smooth and stress-free. Everyone -- from the receptionists and insurance specialist to the assistants, hygienists, and doctors -- was friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. I can't recommend Atlantic Dentistry enough! read more

I got good care, everyone was very kind and patient. NY night guard was fitted well and even though it took a while everyone was very patient. read more

Horrible front desk. No courtesy. The dentist and technicians always try to shame you and upsell you. They are obviously running a business and not concerned with caring for their patients. Also know that the front desk will announce all of your personal information out loud to the whole waiting room. read more

I've been going here for five years and I really enjoyed Dr. Marshall. The staff is always so nice, however, I saw a new dentist this time and I felt like I was being used as a money making opportunity while I was there for my dental cleaning . I don't have any pain in my teeth yet the dentist suggested I get two crowns. One of the crowns was redoing the work done by another dentist in their office! They were going to give me a small discount. How generous. Not returning. read more

I am a part time resident with no regular dentist on the beach. But I had a concern that needed to be looked at and Atlantic had me in that morning and took a look. Very accommodating. read more

Very efficient, professional and courtesy. Although, very expensive. I don't think it's right to have to pay balance in full before proceeding to next procedure that is most needed to prevent further complications and more expense. I think a monthly payment plan would be great especially after just paying almost $10,000 out of pocket for extensive surgery. I feel like this should have not been overlooked and discovered only a week after the first surgery especially to the point it had gotten and especially in just one week and now it's gotten to the point of no return. Financially, it's tough for everyone especially for seniors trying to live off of social security. Thank you for your time. read more

Always a good experience. Everyone is friendly and caring. Never have to wait. No complaints whatsoever.

as a new patient, the office was clean and bright and staff was friendly. After having X-rays, Itero (which was neat), and cleaning it was great to find no major issues after not seeing a dentist in 3 years. read more

Find a new implant dentist ! One who takes precautions not to damage nerves In my jaw. I will never be the same. His carelessness will forever be life altering For me. This is unforgivable. Kissing my Wife will never be the same. read more

In OBX on vacation and got toothache. Called and they got me in same day. Saw Dr Thompson. He was amazing. Great Dr. Great human being. Took care of my problem temporarily and gave great and honest advice for future resolutions. Entire staff front to back were friendly helpful and great to deal with I highly recommend this practice and Dr Thompson read more

Pay attention to all claims filed to your insurance! When I decided to log into my insurance account and see what was going on, I discovered not one, but multiple fraudulent charges for work they did not perform! They also did not file claims for routine care that is most definitely covered by my insurance, choosing instead to bill me in full. I have requested a sit down with the main billing specialist multiple times over the last several months, and every time I get unprofessional rude little girls answering the phone who want to pretend to know about insurance claims arguing with me. I have requested repeatedly to speak with a manager...and that too has never happened. Unfortunately, now I am being forced to bring out the big guns and go after their practice. read more

After numerous visits we find.... Staff is disorganized. Prices vary from patient to patient for same services, no follow-through on important issues, "cash" payment for 10% discount is CASH only, no check. No empathy for patients who have low pain tolerance (jokes made about it). Never seen on time. Maybe grew too fast too soon? A bit arrogant. read more

I personally had a horrible experience there (a lousy job on a crown), and also now my friend just did. I will never go back. My friend scheduled a cleaning and, after doing xrays ($282) and getting an "oral exam" ($108), they refused to clean his teeth and said he needed the deep cleaning ($1,100.00+) which they "did not have time to do today". X-rays were no different from 2 years ago when they did a regular cleaning then. THIS IS A SCAM and he could not afford to do this and didn't even get his teeth cleaned the regular way. He asked them, can't you clean my teeth the regular way today and talk about this in 6 months - and they said NO! So, now he has xrays and no dentist to clean his teeth after driving 1 1/2 hours there and spending $30.00 on gas and $390 for NOTHING! He didn't need xrays for nothing! All dentists refuse if you don't have the xrays, so who is going to clean his teeth now??? He does NOT need a deep cleaning - that is total BS. He has literally only had one cavity his whole life and is over 50! He even has his wisdom teeth!!!!! Let me reiterate - the appointment was clearly for a cleaning, clearly stated - not an oral exam (they always burn you for the xrays but not an "oral exam" and then be told to spend $1,100+ on a FUTURE cleaning. Yes, he was a returning customer. They are also listed as a "supposedly free dental Medicaid clinic" - wonder how much Medicaid is spending on DEEP CLEANINGS nowadays~ read more

Fantastic service and care. I somehow chipped a tooth at the gum line one evening while on vacation and quickly went from vacation happy to sad and miserable. The sharp edge rubbing against my cheek made it hard to think about anything else, so I spent the evening researching the best dentists on and near OBX. I ended up contacting Atlantic, who called me promptly the next morning and fit me in before lunch. I went in thinking I would most likely just get a temporary fix to hold me over until I could get back home to my dentist, who I trust. Instead, I decided to get a permanent repair from Dr. Gunther Heyder, who they refer to as Dr. G., presumably because thee are two Dr. Heyders at the practice. The decision to go for the permanent repair was my decision. I was not pushed at all, but Dr. G. conveyed such competence that I didn't see why not...and I have been very happy with the result. Even better, everyone with whom I dealt at this practice was fantastic. Seriously. From the person on the front desk to the techs to the doctor to the insurance processor. Each one was friendly and professional. I really expected to be treated as an inconvenience as an out-of-town tourist who would not be a regular patient. Instead, I had the exact opposite experience. Cheers to you all! read more

On vacation and was suddenly struck with a toothache. Was able to get an appointment with Dr Marshall within 24 hours. She and the staff were wonderful. Dr Marshall diagnosed my issue and gave me antibiotics. I was able to finish vacation and see my dentist when I got home. So pleased to have a good experience while away from home. Thank you! read more

I was on vacation in the area and had an infected tooth from a lost filling. I really thought that I was going down for the count. They were able to work me into the schedule the morning that I called and made sure that I was taken care of (even though I was not a local). The receptionist was awesome (friendly, welcoming), the dental assistant was awesome (super efficient yet interested in what I had to say) and Dr. Alex was just as good (he took the time to explain to me what was going on). He was honest about what he could and could not do (since I was only in the area for a week). A prescription for antibiotics and a regimen of Advil/Tylenol was all I needed for now. Two days later and I feel good enough to continue to enjoy my vacation. I wish that I lived in the area because I would choose this office for my dentist. read more

The dentist was arguing with me over an elective procedure and told me I was not telling the truth about why I was not willing to on with the teeth straightening procedure. I don't like being called a liar. my wife and I will be taking our business elsewhere. this one very nice practice has forgot how to treat people. read more

I normally would not have reviewed a dentist but due to what I consider a very high cost, I wanted to review my visit too, Atlantic Dentistry in Kitty Hawk. I scheduled an appointment for my 6-month cleaning. I used this dentist many years ago but due to insurance, I had to change dentist. On the initial consultation I was told I needed deep cleaning, needed a tooth capped and had a cavity. I was given an estimate of cost for all the work, and I miss read the estimate that the deep cleaning total cost would be $1357. I read the estimate at $544 which I thought was high for cleaning but wanted to get this done. I went to the office to complain, and they did reduce the bill to slightly over $1100. My dental insurance did not pay anything. Atlantic did a good job on cleaning my teeth but do not think it was $1100 worth. read more

Let me begin by saying I am not an employee here and I have always enjoyed going to the dentist. I've had everything from fillings to root canals and never been scared even once. That aside this was my second visit to Atlantic and I think these guys are some of the finest of dental teams I've used in a long time. Everyone is so nice, very attentive, empathetic to any issues you're having and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend them and look forward to a long and rewarding connection with them. read more

Wow! First dentist visit I actually enjoyed! From the phone calls with Betsy to the warm greeting from Robin, I felt at home. The hygienist was the best I've ever had-thorough, knowledgeable and personable...too bad I don't recall her name! She was fantastic. The dentist whose name I misplaced too, was incredibly friendly, professional and took the time to truly care about me and my mouth. Bravo Atlantic, Bravo! read more

I'll add on to what most people would expect to read- I hate the dentist, haven't been for a while, u get the drift. Dr Parham is the best- recently had a crown done and I have to say hands down,the BEST DENTAL experience I have ever had in my 62 years . The wife told me of this practice, read some of the reviews and VERY reluctantly walked in. Pleasant surroundings, professional and caring folks from top to bottom and a socially conscious business model had me sold. Their patience immediately put me at ease. Thanks to all!!! Keep up the good work, good vibes and keep playing the relaxing tunes in the background. read more

I will first start out by saying I am not a fan of the dentist at all. I had the unlucky event of an old filling getting pulled out on a piece of candy of course while on vacation. I called on a Monday afternoon and they were able to see me the next day. I have horrible anxiety but dental anxiety is even worse. Kim worked with me and understood my feelings. She was very encouraging. Dr Pharam repaied my tooth in what felt like record time and was mindful of my aversion to he noise. Shannon even helped me fill out the insurance paperwork to submit for reimbursement. I have never been to a doctors office of any kind that treated me with so much dignity and respect. read more

Love them! They are so nice and efficient and frankly, they are the only healthcare-related practice I have been impressed with in the area since I've lived here. They don't "push" procedures that you don't really need or want, they are good with follow up on appointments, checking in etc, and always on time. read more

I arrived 15 minutes early and was taken to the back 5 minutes early. That is the only good thing I can say about this so called dentist facility. The dental assistant took an xray within 10 minutes and told me Dr. Heyder would be right in. I waited around 45 minutes for someone to come back in and it was another dentist intern, she apologized for the long wait, she then hurriedly looked at my problem and said she needed a second opinion, so I waited another ten minutes for Dr. Heyder to come in. They stated that nothing could be done today because of time constraints. (Really, after over an hour of waiting!) Instead of focusing on my problem at hand, the two dentists started selling me on costly follow-on options and suggested I talk to their in house financial person about different procedures. I left the office very dissatisfied feeling like I had been to a used car facility. Someone should have told me upfront that they were running behind instead of letting me sit there. read more

cant say enough good things about them just arrived here on vacation on sunday woke up monday morning with severe tooth pain called 3 other places about being seen knowing i would need a root canal they all told me had to wait 2 days couldnt squeeze me in called atlantic dentistry told me to come right in 3 hours later root canal done and vacation saved thank you dr heyer read more

Should have known we would have trouble when we walked in to another customer arguing with the receptionist who then left saying "We will never come here again". I should have left with her, this has to be the most incapable, deceitful practice I have ever had look at my teeth. Not only did they not do what they were suppose to they lied to us about what was being done, way over charged and then tried to lie to our insurance company. I had to report them to the Dentistry Commission and then when I started telling others in the area my horror story I began hearing all sorts more. Some people had to go to another dentist to get the work Atlantic done fixed! Please avoid this business it's just not worth the time, money and trouble they will put you through! read more
