This is hands down the best dentist office I have ever been to. Amazing, friendly staff, clean and…read morecomfortable clinic, new technology, and best of all, a dentist who really knows what he is doing and is such a friendly and caring guy. I have a lot of dental anxiety and chronic illness, and he and his team made me feel so comfortable, and were so accommodating with my disabilities. I came here for help after a horrible experience at another local dentist -- I had been in pain for months despite my former dentist continuing to gaslight me and tell nothing was wrong after she did a filling. Dr. Blair very quickly was able to see from a 3D model he took, that the filling had been done wrong, that the first dentist had left a gap at the bottom exposing the nerve and letting food get trapped underneath, where it had caused an infection. I wound up needing antibiotics. Dr. Blair found the problem in just a few minutes and he fixed it in maybe 15-20 minutes. No pain or discomfort since. After all that needless suffering because of the previous dentist. To finally have relief from the agonizing tooth pain and to be able to chew food again is life changing, especially as someone who is in chronic body pain 24/7, every bit of relief is massive help. I am so grateful to Dr. Blair and his amazing staff, including the techs and reception and billing staff. Everyone has been so wonderful and it feels so nice to finally feel confident that I am in good hands, and they care about my wellbeing. Thank you to the whole team. and especially to Dr. Blair for getting me out of pain. I appreciate you so much!

I've been a patient here for the past few (3?) years and have usually had good experiences although…read moreadmittedly one receptionist always seems perturbed at all times. Long story short between a death in the family and my own emergency surgery and hospitalization my family has fallen on hard times. I have also fallen a little behind on cleanings and was overdue. (It had been one year since my cleaning and two years since xrays.) When I showed up at a recent appointment. I asked to skip the xrays for financial reasons. The dentist explained to me the importance of regular xrays and I agreed and said I still could not afford them at this time. He said it was up to the hygienist if she wanted to clean my teeth. She measured my gums and said they were worse than before, which I think makes sense since I had missed a cleaning, though frankly I know they aren't "bad." I'm a regular brusher and flosser. (The gums mostly measured 3-4, with one area of 7, because i have always had a deep "pocket" there.) She said without xrays she wasn't comfortable cleaning my teeth and that I should come back when I could afford xrays. She said they could lose their license for cleaning my teeth. She indicated it was unethical to clean my teeth without this routine xray. So instead, she thought it was ethical to send a patient away with teeth in need of a good cleaning. The whole situation was surprising and humiliating. Needless to say, I won't be going back despite previously giving them my business over the years. I called another dental office and explained the situation and they had a very kind response, got me scheduled at the beginning of next week.

An awful experience, cannot recommend…read more I had zero pain prior to my appointment. I needed a filling and during the filling I expressed that I was having intense pain. The dentist kept giving anesthetic injections but I could still feel the pain of the drilling so it does not feel it was being done right. First time that has ever happened. Afterward, I was in excruciating pain for a week, went back in a 2nd time to have her check what was wrong. She said everything was fine despite my pain and sent me home. I continued to be in severe pain for MONTHS until I was able to finally get in with a different dental clinic. The new dentist was able to immediately diagnose the problem, it was that the first dentist at Woodstock Smiles did not finish the tooth properly and had left a gap open at the bottom of the tooth, where food was getting trapped and nerves were exposed and it had become infected. I required antibiotics. He cleaned it out and sealed the tooth properly, took barely 15 minutes, and the pain stopped. No more pain since. Then, Woodstock Smiles tried charging me $80 for the 2nd visit (which was only needed because she did the first one wrong) -- and since she did nothing to help me on the 2nd visit, I refused to pay. They started to send me to collections until I mentioned filing a malpractice lawsuit. Then they removed the charge. So it seems this dentist does not know what she is doing. She caused me MONTHS of agonizing pain and illness, gaslit me that everthing was fine, while I was in so much pain I could not even chew food, because she failed to do a simple filling correctly. And it only took a good dentist 3 minutes to see what she did wrong, and 15 minutes to fix it. So I cannot recommend anyone going here. Maybe just for a cleaning, but not any actual dental work. I would not trust it. Instead, I highly suggest Dr. Blair at Powell Dental as he was quickly able to see what Woodstock Smiles did wrong, and fixed it fast, with zero pain.

Have been going here for almost 2 years after many years of unsteady/nonexistent dental care. I had…read moreto get a large amount of work done and I really appreciated how the doctor would take the time to take pictures and explain so I clearly understood what was wrong and the next steps. Im in a much better place now thanks to them. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a kind and professional neighborhood dentist.
