Friendly Dentistry is a fitting name for this place. I've been coming here for about two years now and this is the best experience I've had with dental practices. Each individual here is welcoming and personable; they remember you and make an effort to make a connection. The staff is an absolute joy and Dr. Burton is an excellent dentist and I always look forward to my next visit (who would've thought!). Services rendered: routine dental cleanings, Invisalign, cavity filling, retainer replacement. They work seamlessly with my insurance provider, MetLife. read more

I have been going to this dentist and DHA for over a decade now. I LOVE going to the dentist! This practice has nailed it with all of the great customer support and service, to the check in and experience of knowing you are in good hands. They have the top of the art dentistry tools and excel in keeping their team in the know. They scanned my teeth and showed me a rendering of what my teeth would look like completely straight. I highly recommend this dentistry office to anyone! read more

See all

So I've had the pleasure of coming to this dentistry 4 times in 2 weeks (I'm sure my wallet appreciates losing some weight) and they were phenomenal! I can confirm my experience at this dentistry is the norm and not a lucky-one off day with the few employees that care about customer service. When you first sign up they send you a survey. It's pretty lengthy but that's because they genuinely care about your answers. I put on there I like to hear helpful tips to keep my teeth clean and sure enough as they were working on my teeth they'd tell me some pointers. And they had nice relaxing music playing subtlety in the background. What I really like about this place is that they know you're nervous, uncomfortable, etc. going to a dentist. You're only there a few times a year or maybe even held off going for years but they still treat every patient with a smile and they seem grateful you chose them. You'll never feel like a burden or just another patient they gotta deal with during a long shift. Overall, I highly recommend this establishment and if I ever hear a friend or family member looking for a new dentist I'm recommending this place to them. You deserve to go to a dentist that values you, and that is exactly what Friendly Dentistry is all about! read more

This practice is top notch. I love Dr. Blue and I feel like I'm their only patient when I'm here!!! I also love Terri who always reminds me of my appointments and I'm sad to hear she is retiring soon. Well deserved Mrs.Terri!! You will be missed. I can't end this review without bragging about my wonderful hygienist Janice. You are more than amazing. So thankful for you all. Thanks for your professionalism and expertise. Yall are the best!!! read more

Do not be fooled by the name 'Friendly'. This business is focused on upselling as much as possible and providing excessive services. If you're looking for a standard cleaning - go elsewhere. Friendly will demand you get 2 appointments so that they can 'assess' what kind of cleaning you need, make you pay ahead of time, and not take your insurance. Someone else I know went to Friendly for a routine procedure and they demanded he get additional XRays that he didn't need, just so they could charge for them. There are other practices in the area that are more ethical and focused on optimizing for the needs and health of the customer, rather than their own bottom line. read more

Excellent and informative staff all through the dentistry. Best cleaning I have had in my 49 years of existence and will continue to have dental care at Friendly dentistry! The cleaning was so thorough I will not be needing to whiten my teeth after 10 years of coffee drinking. Highly recommend Friendly! read more

New to the Greensboro area and based on available reviews, my family chose Family Dentistry for our dental care Beautiful location and truly "friendly" staff - but very suspect in driving up costs not covered by dental insurance. My husband was told he needed a multi- treatment deep cleaning to address gum issues. The cost? $800 and not covered by insurance.b He had a history of gum issues and bought the story hook, line and sinker. My first cleaning was not covered by insurance because annual allowance had been used up, had to pay out of pocket for that. They said they had checked my insurance policy before I went for the appointment. , but somehow advised m to come for cleaning and very expensive panoramic X-rays. Then my son went for a cleaning while home from college in December or Jan. 2019/20 All good, except need to have wisdom teeth extracted based on X-rays. Six months later, and the day before wisdom tooth extraction (referred us to an oral surgeon), he went in for a cleaning. They refused to clean his teeth because somehow in 6 months he had developed "advanced gingivitis / gum disease!" Guess what? He needed the $800 multi part deep cleaning treatment that was not covered by insurance too! I have to say we felt scammed. This kid had been to the dentist every 6 months for his whole life, never had a cavity. To believe that he had miraculously developed this serious gum condition in 6 months was a stretch. Granted, away at college he may not have been taking the best care of his teeth, but really? We had quite a heated discussion with Dr Ribando who treated us very rudely and called my son derogatory names. In fact, he told us not to come back! He also insinuated that if I gave them a bad review, "slandered them", that he would see me in court! The next day my son had his wisdom teeth extracted and returned to college, no time for cleaning and couldn't for several weeks after the extractions. He came home for the holidays this year and went to a different dentist. Highly reputable and recommended by a dental hygienist friend of ours. Guess what? No gingivitis or gum disease! Perfect exam and cleaning! I feel totally scammed by Friendly Dentistry. Beware of pricey add ons. read more

Allison the scheduler is AMAZING!!!!!!! She makes the clinic a worthwhile place to clean your teeth and all other dental needs. She follows through and makes sure you are able to get an appointment and also ensures that treatments and procedures are done with your convenience in mind. I greatly appreciate all that she has done to make me comfortable in returning time after time. Thanks to all the staff!! -I assisted my mom in posting this review because she was so adamant on letting others know how great the office is, she doesn't have yelp! Lol :) read more

I have had a lot of work done at friendly dentistry by Dr. Ribando, the whole team here are always professional, friendly and do great work. I have been happy with all their services and highly recommend them for all your dental needs read more

This practice doesn't have 5 stars for nothing! The name truly speaks for itself. I've been going here for 2 years now and I love everything about this practice, especially Dr. Blue. I'm sure many can agree the dentist isn't the most pleasing place to visit but the staff will truly Create and unforgettable experience. read more

If you have money to throw away -- go to Friendly Dentistry. I paid $400 for a first visit - I got nothing, not even a cleaning. They took x-rays (even though they were given six month old X-rays from my previous dentist!) and then said I had deep pockets and needed to see another dentist. I've known I had deep pockets for years and they were always maintained at my old dentist. Said she couldn't clean my teeth - but took my $400! My wife and I went together and she got x-rays AND her teeth cleaned for $400. They could never explain to me why I got charged the same as my wife who got her teeth cleaned and I didn't. These people are sharks - if you have money you don't need or want, go to Friendly Dentistry, they'll be happy to take it from you . . . for nothing. In addition, as I write this review it's been 7 weeks since our visit and they STILL haven't submitted our insurance - but made sure they collected $800 in cash before they let us in the door the first time. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. read more

I had a chipped tooth that made me look like a hillbilly. I was extremely nervous but Dr. Brittney Blue and Sara, the Dental Hygienist put me at ease. I repeatedly asked the same question over and over yet she was so patient with me. Can honestly say I was blown away by their professionalism and care. The place is well lit and everyone was kind and honest. I will be back and I highly recommend this dentistry. 5STARS! read more

We recently switched to Friendly Dentristy when both my husband and I were having ongoing painful dental issues that our previous dentist was not resolving. My husband was in extreme pain and they got him in the same day for an exam and within days quickly resolved a situation that was becoming very serious. I was in more mild discomfort, left a message over a holiday weekend, they called me back first thing monday morning, i was seen on tuesday, and received a crown on that wednesday. they are professional, thorough, and make sure i am in comfort throughout a long procedure. everyone is very friendly and warm. we highly recommend! read more

I love Dr. Burton and his wonderful staff. I first went here for a chipped tooth and Dr. Burton was so thorough. I had no pain during or after. This office has top of the line equipment and very well trained staff. I went back to get some cavities filled and every session I had the same great experience. I have already recommended Dr. Burton to several people and plan to be a patient for many years! read more

After visiting Friendly Dentistry a few days ago, I must say that I am extremely glad that my husband found their office on Yelp! Dr. Wilkinson was gentle in examining the painful area in my mouth and the staff there were super friendly and playful. The atmosphere there was warm and inviting. After visiting my regular dentist because I was in pain the night before, I left his office feeling hopeless and in more pain than before my visit. He sent me out the door in pain with no antibiotics and told me there was nothing he could do for me but refer me to a periodontist that happened to be next door to their office. I agreed and they set me up with an appointment for a month away. After leaving their dental office, hurting, especially after my dentist measures the amount of bone loss in the infected tooth, my husband suggested that I get second opinion, and so he found Friendly Dentistry on Yelp. They concluded after taking x-rays and examining my mouth that I do have an abscess and that is below the gum line. My chin and gums were swollen and very painful to touch! They were very friendly and gentle with my mouth. I was in excruciating pain, but thanks to Friendly Dentistry, I am being treated for my infection and I have an appointment with them to do a root canal after my infection is gone. I keep thinking how much pain I would be in if I had not gotten a second opinion. read more

I have visited Friendly Dentistry 3 times in the last two weeks. I randomly did a search on dentists in the Greensboro area and opted to give them a try. I was in serious pain when I first visited this dentistry. Katie, Dr. Ribando, Leigh, and Janice are true gems! They made a painful time in my life truly pleasant. I'm very grateful to have stumbled across this dentistry. They are a tech forward dentistry that treats its clients like family! I highly recommended this dentistry if you are in the Greensboro area looking for a place to take care of your most prized possession , your smile read more

Dr. Blue and her dental hygienists were all very kind and helpful. There is hardly ever a wait and the exams and treatments I received are very thorough. You can tell this place has the best people and technology available. read more

I love this place and the people here. At 73 I have seen a lot of dentists and their assistants but none better than here.

My first appointment at Friendly Dentistry was easily one of the best health care experiences I've ever had. For one thing, I went in for a (very thorough) check-up and x-rays as well as a cleaning, and I received a free custom whitening kit as a first-time patient. More importantly, the service was prompt and friendly - I got in to the exam room right away and was "treated" by Leann and Dr. Semones, who were both courteous and professional. The periodontist and hygienist did a great job as well. The whole experience was very efficient. They sent my forms electronically so that I could fill them out in advance, and they even took my credit card payment and scheduled my next exam before the cleaning even took place. The hand written, personalized "thank you" card that I received just a day or two after my appointment was a nice touch as well. read more

Amazing care!!! I never thought I would love a dentist, but the dentists and staff at Friendly Dentistry are the best in the industry. Their kindness, care, skill, and compassion have helped me overcome crippling dental anxiety. The administrative team are patient with my obstinate insurance company and have worked with me to explain codes and billing and file appeals when necessary. The entire team works together to craft a care plan that works for you and your budget/insurance situation. Friendly Dentistry should teach other dentists/doctors how it's done! read more

Dr. Brittany Blue is an amazing and talented dentist. I am so pleased with her expertise and care. I have been going to Friendly Denistry for a number of years with my youngest son. I recently had to have a new crown and filling this week and they made me feel comfortable and stress free. My teeth feel great and I received my permanent crown the same day! We are so fortunate to have Friendly Denistry and their fantastic team in Greensboro. Julie Longmire-Dauray read more

Hands down the absolute best. I have been coming here for over 5 years. Service is top notch and I have never had to wait past my appointment time. Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. I wish every business was as organized as they are here! read more

Gosh am I so happy my family made the switch to this practice. From making the appointment for 5 people, to our hygienist Mina, who was just amazing with my kiddos, and my 4 year old is RAVING about her. Dr. Simones was so kind, and I feel so comfortable knowing they will be taking care of my families dental needs from here on out. Thanks so much to your entire team!! And we loved our card read more

I was faced with a front tooth that needed a root canal and was badly stained. The rest of my teeth were also discolored. This caused a lot of loss of confidence. The team at Friendly Dentistry were there to help me. Dr Ribando did such an amazing job on my teeth but also educating me on what and how he was going to achieve these results. Katie, Lee Ann , Jennifer all went beyond to be friendly and kind to make each visit enjoyable. Thank you for helping me smile with confidence!!!! read more

I really like this practice. They are very efficient and polite. Anytime I come in for a cleaning I am usually in and out in under 45 minutes which is awesome. I have been to other practices that are constantly trying to sell you cosmetic dentistry services or products and there is none of that here. read more

This is a great dental practice. Very accommodating and friendly, and extremely knowledgable about dentistry.

Dr. Simones is awesome and if ever there were rock star hygienists, it's Sarah and Pam. I am so glad I found this practice and our family loves going. The way they help us with billing, scheduling, the treatment you get from the minute they welcome you to the moment you walk out. I am had an implant and crown down with their help, and it was hard. Dr. Simones made the experience as good as it could be! read more

I have suffered with PTSD and dentists for many years due to multiple jaw surgeries and over a decade of orthodontic work, so I didn't go to a dentist for 12 years. I have been so worried about any issues that might be developing and finally decided that I needed to work through the anxiety and get to a dentist! I looked up reviews and Friendly Dentistry was always #1. When I arrived, I was greeted by a wonderfully friendly staff member named Terri, I think. She shook my hand and made me feel very welcome. She got me checked in and shortly after I was greeted by Jennifer, a dental assistant. Let me just say that Jennifer is a true gem and a valuable asset to the team. She was absolutely amazing, the type of person I would consider a fast friend. Not only did I not feel judged or bullied about not having been to the dentist in so long, but she patiently listened to my concerns and was sure to write everything down in my file, so that after x-rays and a thorough exam, the hygienist who was going to clean my teeth already knew about an area of sensitivity. My hygienist (I forgot her name, but she was also wonderful!) was gentle and efficient, and was very complimentary with how great my teeth looked. Dr. Wilkerson wanted to take plenty of time for me to sit with him to go over the list of my concerns and goals for optimal tooth health and for a tiny chip in a tooth I'd like to have fixed. They have cutting edge technology and being a curious person, I got to see a lot of cool stuff with my teeth and jaws. I can't say enough good things about this experience. I didn't have anxiety once! My teeth look great; I even received a free teeth whitening kit custom molded for my teeth as a new patient, an excellent perk. I'll never dread going to the dentist again, really. Jennifer eased any anxiety I had with her sunny personality alone. Thank you!!! read more

Such a great experience! Every member of the Friendly Dentistry team took fabulous care of me- always using my name, asking questions about my family and being incredibly friendly. Lemon/Lime water in the waiting room, individual TVs and warm towels to wipe my face-- kept wondering if I was at the dentist or the spa. They made a typically uncomfortable experience very pleasant. read more

I've been coming to Friendly Dentistry for 30+ years and have always had very professional and exceptional dental care. Even though I typically only see them twice a year for general cleanings, they always ask about and remember things about my family! They are extremely knowledgeable in all areas of dental care and I couldn't have picked a better dental practice. read more

Wonderful compassionate staff and dentist. They took care of me in an emergency when my regular dentist was closed (Friday). Quite honestly the kindest office I have ever experienced. Every one of them really go out of their way to make sure you are treated very well and have a great experience. Needless to say, they are now the office I consider my dental home. read more
