The Hygienist was friendly and helped me relax as a stressed out patient who does not like going to the dentist. I felt they made every effort to be thorough and not rush through things while ensuring that every detail was accounted for. I've had dentists that are obviously making stuff up like an untrustworthy auto shop trying to sell you stuff you don't need. I never felt that pressure here. I already have my next appointment set up and will go in with a lot less stress knowing I will be treated with respect for my time and concerns while taking good care of my dental needs.

From the moment I stepped into this office I felt so welcomed and calm. There was no judgement on my overdue need for a cleaning and the ladies were so helpful with giving me info and recommendations for addressing some things I wanted to improve with my oral care (like hot and cold sensitivity or remineralization after pregnancy)! The office was clean, cute, and the staff were kind and professional. I was also able to get an eligibility screening complete for overseas living (hello military) and overall I had a great experience! They also take my insurance, for anyone who's unsure (Concordia, TDP)! Highly recommend and will be back in 6 months!

We went to another family dentistry across town (they were also exceptional in treatment of my kids, I still go there for myself) but since they caught a cavity they sent us to White & Johnson, knowing they could handle my oldest kids anxiety. I am beyond grateful to have such an amazing staff to work with my kids. The layout is efficient, the teamwork that I have witnessed during our appointments is flawless , and bedside manner is second to none- they sing songs, talk to the kids throughout cleanings to explain what they're doing and reassure them, and are completely transparent about everything upfront with parents. The only crying my anxiety-prone child did was in the wilmington office, as they tried to get the gas mask on him (he ultimately had to have his cavity taken care of at the hospital under general anesthesia) but even having gone through that, he is not at all scared of coming back. THAT is how I know they're doing everything right. While we do spend a bit more money here than we did elsewhere, but it certainly shows in the quality of care our kids receive.

I only offer two stars. Even though I loved my dentist and the staff I received horrible work…read more I had two crowns done here and both have failed in under two years of having them. My new dentist said it is due to improper fitting and now I have to get new ones that insurance will not cover because they only cover one within a five year period per tooth. When I contacted family dental, they said they have a two year warranty on their crowns, but only to cover broken or cracked crowns not decay underneath caused by ill fitting crowns. So now I have to pay completely out of pocket to get new crowns that fit correctly and that should have fit in the first place. Mind you I've had issues and tooth pain since getting these crowns and they always said there were no issues. Anyway save your money and go to a dentist who has good reviews on crowns! Don't double pay like I'm having to do! Again very nice people in office but crappy work!

What an experience. For clarification, I visited their clinic twice, once for a painful broken…read moretooth, and later for a crown. When I went in for the broken tooth, the hygienist was fantastic, she's the only reason I am offering two stars, instead of a one-star review. When I went in for my crown, I don't know what the dentist (Dr Sipes) did but it was 100x more painful than the root canal (I got elsewhere). I begged the dentist to stop doing whatever was causing so much pain, but she said she would not. I was sobbing and felt victimized. There was nothing I could do. Once the crown was done, she said something along the lines of an apology. In truth, I was too traumatized to hear her words, I just wanted to go home. I paid my bill and left. Weeks later I get a call asking me to schedule a cleaning and other things. I told them I was not interested in coming back to their clinic because I had such a terrible experience. Today I get a bill in the mail, and a text message telling me that I owe them more money. Saying that the payment I made when I left the clinic after my crown "may have been off a little after insurance processed the claim". Seems fishy to me. I hope other patients have a better experience than I did.

But, now today I receive a certified mailed letter (MIND YOU) that they are withdrawing from further care for my family's dental needs. So, my original comment will go back up and stay up and WILL NOT COME BACK DOWN AND YOU CAN SEE EVERYONE HOW THEY CAN BE. 4/29/2025 Post: Very unhappy with our services lately since Dr. Whitley has became part of their practice. He does not put the patient first. My daughter had an appt. yesterday and instead of him seeing her like we were originally scheduled after being rescheduled due to them because of spring break and they wanted off he let his secretary for billing (don't know her exact billet) see us instead and didn't even talk or speak to us after I had to jump through hoops after requesting off work the prior week and then rearranging my sons schedule so he can get my daughter and bring her to the clinic and me hurry and leave work to meet them there so I can talk with him about my daughters teeth and then he doesn't even see her or me. Very disappointing and disrespectful. Then the billing lady tells me that the part that I signed before that was $1100 for her teeth is now going to be $2000 and they wanted off to do it under the table and don't send it to the insurance company. Yeah. Okay. So, I have been going to this dental office since early 2000s and never ever got treated like this before. Believe me, me and my family will be looking for a new dental office and you and your family should be as well. Because, they are out to charge you for everything you got and not to help you at all. Believe that. Sad part is, I love the front staff. This letter informed us that our family's dental care would be withdrawn, the issue only involved my daughter and me. My two adult sons, one has different insurance, nor my other son, my husband, my innocent daughter, had anything to do with the matter. Eastern Carolina Dental, you've outdone yourselves.

My four year old needed X-rays and there was a lady holding his mouth shut while he was screaming and crying so they could get the picture. Not okay. They were also back there complaining about eveyone working with them as well which wasn't professional to me either. When the dentist saw my son's teeth I was told he needed a bunch of work including work he would need when he was 10. Mind you he's still only 4. I had a weird feeling so I took him to another dentist and he didn't need any root canals. They were about to put my child through unnecessary and painful work. I don't recommend them to anyone. They were very unprofessional, and I was not comfortable with anything they did there. I am not one to typically leave a review but I would never recommend this place to someone with children. I was told to Go somewhere else and I tried it and should have listened and never gone here.

I'd like to state prior to coming here my son had been to a pediatric dentist before had some work done and never had to go under anesthesia. He had 3 small cavities that needed to be filled so I booked a appointment, during the appointment I had to sit outside the room (my son is 5) and watch in the distance, the dentist claimed she counted continue because he kept sticking his hands in his mouth. She then referred us to a dentist to have him go under anesthesia all the way in Raleigh. I found another pediatric dentist in New Bern and my son like always had no problems getting his cavities filled without anesthesia. From what I got at that office is that the dentist prefers to take your money for cleanings and does not like to do any other dental work because most likely you will just get referred out.

I have been seen at this location for over 20 years now. I mention it by location because over the…read morepast 20 years the Dentistry has changed hands three times. This last experience under the second practice to take over this location in 2 years, was absolutely the worst! From start to finish. My appointment was at 9:00am, I was not called back until 9:45. Prior to being called back I had overheard an exiting patient, advising how surprised that the Dentistry had changed hands again, but this time there was no sign to Identify the new Practice. I had not notice there was no sign, but I sure notice the change in Staff. You see the first two change in Dentistry was mostly the name because the staff remained the same. This new staff certainly was not impressive and showed uncertainty which did not make me feel good at all. I was taken to a completely different room for my X-ray, when I had not ever in the past. They had one person start with polishing my teeth, then another come in for descaling teeth, and this person actually dropped the tool on the floor (another first) and I was so nervous she would just pick it up and keep going. She did not, but she also did not floss my teeth. This practice seemed dysfunctional. Not a good first impression but a very lasting one!! Finally at 11:20am I meet the Dentist. We he advised me he would like to drill in all my stained teeth, just because there are stains present, I decided, I would no longer be coming to this location. Dr. Lutkus was the only practitioner decent enough to advise his patients of his retirement and the practice being sold. No heads up from neither of successors.
