Dentist visit made easy!…read more I despise having teeth work done. The noise, the pain, discomfort...not fun. So, making this appointment was a significant step as I hadn't been to the dentist in quite some time and last time I was living in a different state. I was initially told I'd have to make 2 separate appointments: one for xrays and evaluation, the next for the cleaning. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was able to do all of this in one visit! Chelsea was my hygienist and she was amazing! Super gentle, explained everything she was doing during the xrays and evaluation and my teeth didn't hurt at all while she cleaned. I was so much more relaxed that I anticipated. Dr. Rose came in and evaluated quickly; I did have to come back for a few fillings...to be expected by me of course. Prices are fair I guess, as I do not have insurance. They do not accept payment plans however. I don't really mind this as I am more than pleased with my treatment and look forward to keeping up better with my dentistry by coming here.

The entire staff of Maple Way is so friendly and helpful, they truly go above and beyond to provide exceptional care. My hygienist does a very thorough job---and on the few occasions when I've had to see a different hygienist, and they have always been equally thorough. Dr. Rose is one of the kindest, warmest people you'll ever meet, and she is truly an exceptional dentist. In addition to standard dental care, she also does some cosmetic dentistry, and she did an incredible job creating crowns for my front teeth, resulting in a smile that I am often complimented on---prior to that, I was very self-conscious of my smile and always tried to keep my lips closed. I truly can't say enough about how happy we have been with this practice. We are now moving away out of state, and are so sad to leave Maple Way dentistry behind!

Laura was so friendly, and answered, with great patience, all of my questions.

It's difficult to describe any dental visit as pleasurable, but this one actually was very enjoyable. I would, without reservation, recommend Bryant Dental Care to anyone!

If you value your teeth, avoid Dr. Z. I needed a new dentist and his office was close to mine, and…read moreI was able to visit on my lunch break. I wish there were reviews that I could have read before hand, because just about everything he did to my mouth turned painful. At my initial checkup he said I needed a crown. I had been told that for a long time by many dentists about a particular tooth, but it never bothered me so I ignored it. This time he said that the x-ray showed decay, and it was only a matter of time before it would start causing trouble. I was facing losing my dental insurance soon after so I said okay. I had problems with it as soon as it was set. I went back five times to have it shaved down repeatedly, but the pain persisted. In the end I went to another dentist to see what was wrong. He took an x-ray and said that the crown was not seated properly, and was a millimeter above my gum line, exposing the inside of my tooth. I called to get another appointment and the usually friendly receptionist's demeanor changed immediately. She argued that dentists vary in their opinions and Dr. Z does good work. I finally got another appointment and I got a bit of push back at first (everyone was very cold to me). While we were waiting for the x-ray taken by the other dentist, Dr. Z probed under the crown and I jumped sky-high. Incredibly, he said that in all his years as a dentist, he had never seen a tooth shift like that, displacing a crown!! What!?! I'm no fan of dental work, and I had to have the crown removed and replaced. The new temporary crown didn't fit and it kept dislodging while I ate (even though I only chewed on the other side) and I kept chomping on it. The whole ordeal was a nightmare. The tooth still hurts (remember - it never bothered me before I went to see him), and I need to see another dentist to (hopefully) fix it. I can no longer chew on that side. He also made a mess of a front tooth I asked him to smooth out because of a chip in the back. Save yourself some pain - go to another dentist.

I've been a patient of this practice since 2013. I absolutely love the doctors, hygienists, and…read morestaff members there. Everyone is committed to making sure your teeth are going to be as healthy as possible, that there will not, I repeat NOT, be any pain or discomfort associated with ANY procedure*. I see Dr. Anna O'Keefe, who is always cheerful, delightful and has a marvelous sense of humor. There have been times I've come in with an emergency, and they've squished me in the same day. The fees are very reasonable and they accept a variety of insurance plans. Theirs is an incredibly modern and up-to-date office with the latest in all things dental - of course there are the digital x-rays including the panoramic films, and this amazing "instant tooth creation" lab thing that is in-house - I am doing a very poor job of explaining it. What took days and days in the past now takes about 30 minutes. The feature I like the most and get the most out of is the treatment plan. Both on a piece of paper, and on their computer screen (so the actual tooth's images can be viewed) you can see precisely what's going on with your teeth. Dr. O'Keefe identified what the triage, or urgency factors were in "fixing up" my oral health. Additionally, she tied it to a financial plan, so I could budget out what each stage of the treatment would cost. And EVERYTHING is explained in simple to understand language. As a former "abuser" of drinking soda pop, (24/7!), I only received positive encouragement from Dr. O'Keefe to discontinue drinking sugary drinks. (It was literally ravaging and destroying my teeth.) Instead of shaming me or trying to make me feel guilty, she simply encouraged me, gave me suggestions for healthy alternatives and offered support. Now I can still have an occasional soda pop, but I know "how" to drink it, and it's only once in a while. *I have the most incredibly sensitive teeth. Typically when moving to a new town, getting a new dentist and explaining please give me extra numbing medicine, I'm discounted as simply being a fraidy-cat. Then I get under-medicated and I scream with pain. Dr. O'Keefe carefully LISTENED to me, and acted upon what I told her, and from the git-go, administered the correct amount of pain medicine to prevent any discomfort, but not so much that my mouth was a numb, drooling mess for 12 hours. Additionally - this is the REALLY good part - even the hygienists can numb you up for your cleaning! For over 40 years, I've just endured the horrible pain of getting my teeth cleaned. Well, pain no more! Here they are more than happy to provide topical numbing agents for your teeth cleaning. What a wonderful difference! So: 1.) No, I am not related to anyone who works at this dental practice. 2.) No, I am not an employee at this place. 3.) No, I am not getting any form of compensation for writing this review. 4.) The only reason I am writing this is because good, honest, hard-working professionals deserve good reviews. It's kind of like 'passing it forward.' A social, moral obligation we have towards one another. :-)

When you walk in the place looks like an amusement park entrance, not a dentist office. There are video games, iPad, and a tv the waiting area. In the offices during the visits, there are TVs the kids watch to distract them from the dental cleanings and procedures. The name of this game is distract, distract, distract. I remember waiting in both mild fear and anticipation of going into the dentist when I was a kiddo. I think that this will eliminate any future fear of going to the dentist. This might even improve your child's oral health! This place is highly recommended for children's dental care.
