I cannot say enough good things about this place. Dr. Joy has been absolutely amazing from day 1!…read more I was very reluctant to get my veneers redone mostly because, like many, absolutely hate having my teeth worked on and I wasn't mentally prepared for the process (but let's face it, was never going to be :). The day I walked into Crabtree Valley Dental, I was greeted warmly by everyone and one of the front desk staff even came out and MOVED her car for me because there weren't any parking spots left. At my first appointment, they gave me a questionnaire asking me how I wanted to be communicated with (ex. "just do what you need to do, I don't want to know", "tell me everything", etc.) which I now don't understand why all doctors don't do! I was then formally introduced to every single person I encountered from the tech to the doctor all the way to the billing person. Furthermore, what initially began for mechanical reasons has now turned into an entire transformation of my smile. Every step of the way, each team member I worked with encouraged me to not stop until I was 100% happy, including and mostly Dr. Joy. In the beginning I figured they were just being nice, but they were not. Dr. Joy was so invested in me being absolutely content and confident in my teeth and smile again. Somewhere along the way I decided to also get gum contouring and she personally called the periodontist on more than one occasion to make sure everything went well and I was taken care of. She was also in contact with the prosthetist every step of the way. The last thing I was worried about (and then I'll stop rambling) was the temporaries looking funny while the veneers were made. I was apprehensive about sharing photos yet because these are just the temps and I chipped one by accident, but attached is a before and after! I didn't have a great before pic, but the difference is amazing. If you're in need of any dental work, I would HIGHLY recommend Dr. Joy at Crabtree Valley Dental.

I've been going here for years and up until the last couple months it's been great. The dentists…read moreand hygienists are absolutely wonderful, but the front office staff is rude and incompetent. I can never get through over the phone and give emailed 4 times now with an inquiry and no response. The last time I was there I waited half a hour after my appointment time for them to finally tell me they were backed up because someone had called out sick. My mom has had an equally terrible experience with their office staff texting her sensitive medical information. I'm bummed to switch my dentist because the doctors here are so great, but dealing with this office is a nightmare.

Filing our dental insurance and using our flex medical spending account has always been seamless with the competent staff at checkout. If you are looking for a dentist in Raleigh, I highly recommend Dr. Ashley Lloyd.

Dr. Atari is amazing. She listened to my concerns and helped me find the solutions to them…read more I had been having tooth aches from a previous root canal and she referred me to the right people. They were able to fix my previous botched root canal from a horrible provider in Miami. Fast forward to the final step to my root canal Dr. Atari took her time to make sure I was comfortable and also listened to my other concerns bothering me and she was able to fix it that same day. I am so glad to find Dr. Atari and her team. She is patient, kind, and caring. I definitely recommend Dr. Atari.

I went there in January for a root canal treatment, but my pain never went away. A month later I…read morewent back, they did a second treatment, but that didn't work either. In the end, they told me "we can't do anything" and referred me to another place. They neither refunded my money nor took any responsibility for the failed treatments. On top of that, the tooth next to the one they treated also got damaged and now needs to be extracted. This level of carelessness and irresponsibility is completely unacceptable. I'm taking this to court. I strongly advise everyone to stay away.

Sadly, Connection Dentistry isn't what it used to be. My family has been with them for 8 years…read more It used to be only one dentist: Dr. Laster, and she seems to have a focused, professional approach. However lately, the bigger priority seems to be on growing the business and selling extra services. For new patients, some of Connection Dentistry's technology or time-saving gadgets might seem impressive on the surface. But their actual necessity, effectiveness, and safety is unclear. This might bring in extra cash for the practice and create a faster patient turnaround, but at what cost? Quantity of patients over quality of service, maybe? On top of this, in our opinion, Dr. Rensch's demeanor/professionalism has been increasingly concerning. We asked Dr. Rensch about some of our family's recent procedures, as it seemed there were some new problems and side-effects directly connected to his approach. Dr. Rensch's response was to avoid responsibility and point the finger back at the patient, seeming to disregard facts and "re-framing" a patient's history. I noted that during this interaction, Dr. Rensch's overall demeanor seemed very impatient and emotional. In addition, over time there were several instances when Dr. Rensch would say a procedure was covered by insurance- but this was not always true. In those moments, we felt pressure to have that extra service done on the spot. We learned the hard way to have all estimates emailed ahead of time before getting anything additional done. And inevitably we'd email back and forth- noticing prices shifting or finding errors. Once their office took so long to file a bill- we could no longer claim it on insurance. This meant that whenever we'd go to Connection Dentistry, we'd spend our own time, patience, and an eagle eye- to try to catch any billing errors. There are a LOT of dentists out there. Do your research, protect yourself, and trust your gut.
