I just had my second root canal here in five years. It was no big deal…read more People think root canals are a big deal, but that's due to old technology. Other than the needle being stuck into my gums at the beginning to numb the pain, this was 100% painless. Same as five years ago. I also learned that flossing is 10x more important than brushing your teeth. Brushing only gets the surfaces and gums. Flossing gets rid of the plaque that leads to bacteria and infection. Excess plaque has also been linked to Alzheimer's and heart disease. Great info, friendliness, and overall customer service here. Or you can call it bedside manner. Whatever you want to call it, Dr. Wells and his staff are highly recommended if you're seeking an endodontist.

Years of Avoidable Harm--Tooth Loss, Jaw Injury, and Dismissive Care…read more This office's pattern of poor communication and high-pressure tactics has lessened the quality of my life as well as cost me thousands of dollars for visits and night guards. In late October/early November 2019, I had an apicoectomy on tooth #9 with John D. Wells, DDS at 16600 Birkdale Commons Parkway, Huntersville, NC 28078. I followed all aftercare to the letter, rinsing faithfully with the prescribed cleanser. After the first procedure, I started feeling pain and discomfort in the tooth area after drinking cool water, so I contacted the office right away. Dr. Wells had me come back for him to take a look. He then determined he needed to redo the apicoectomy. Afterward, I asked what the problem was, and he explained that the dissolvable sutures from the initial surgery hadn't dissolved, so he removed them manually. He assured me healing was on track, but by early 2020, persistent infection forced me to need an extraction and an implant, which was both costly and heartbreaking, especially at my age for a front tooth. I was 80 years old going through all of this. I was never told about the threat of infection, and only learned later that undissolved sutures can trap bacteria and lead to failures like this; and that dentists should proactively remove them themselves to avoid such risks. Had I known, I might have pushed for that upfront or chosen differently--but trusting the process, I returned to the same practice in 2022 for a root canal on tooth #8. That's when things worsened dramatically. During packing placement, the assistant demanded I open my mouth much wider to keep it dry, using scare tactics: she warned that if I didn't, "it would have to be redone." Again, I am an older patient, and it was very clear this assistant dd not care about me as a patient, and had no interest in a reasonable bedside manner. Fresh off the 2019 trauma, I felt pressured and complied to open as wide as possible, despite visible distress in my eyes, as she took her time. The strain immediately triggered pain and discomfort, and I was soon diagnosed with a displaced TMJ disc--causing relentless muscle spasms, a sensation like my jaw is off its hinge, difficulty speaking, and chronic agony requiring therapy and meds. After contacting Dr. Wells numerous times with my distress and concerns, he dismissed them outright, claiming the assistant "didn't force my mouth open or threaten me with a gun." No empathy, no accountability--just deflection. As I said before, this office's pattern of poor communication (e.g., not warning about dissolvable suture risks) and high-pressure tactics has lessened the quality of my life as well as cost me thousands of dollars for visits and night guards. The initial staff seemed friendly, but the care felt reactive at best. If you're reading this, ask upfront about materials and removal plans, get consents in writing, and trust your instincts--if something feels off, walk away. I wish I'd switched endodontists sooner; now I see one who actually listens. Proceed with extreme caution here.

Too much of the enamel was removed. Caps will not stay. Having to have many of them redone again. Think twice before you use this dentist. He does not stand behind his work. Good talker.

My wife recommended me to Dr. Langdon's office and I have not been disappointed. The staff is friendly as you arrive to check in, and Lauren, the hygienist I had was super professional and explained most things to me beforehand to see if I had any questions. It had been close to two years since my last appointment, so some follow-up work was needed (woof). It was very easy to schedule and Dr. Langdon was super quick when doing my fillings. I highly recommend him to anyone in the market for a dentist.

I was referred to…read moreDr. Langdon by a family friend and I feel like I owe that friend so much for making this recommendation. First, I really appreciate how the staff know who I am, even though I only come in once every 6 months. It means a lot that they engage in conversation and genuinely care about me. The facility is beautiful and very welcoming, although I never get to wait in the lobby because all my appointments have started on-time. This really helps me plan my work day appropriately. Amber is the hygienist I usually see and she is excellent. We always have great conversations that pick up right where we left off last time. Dr. Langdon himself is fantastic! After my very first visit, Dr. Langdon personally called to see how I was doing and thank me for coming in. I always feel like I'm getting excellent care and a straight-forward, honest opinion. Last year, I needed a crown (yes, I'm putting that out there!). At no point did I question his judgement of whether I needed the crown, as I had a pretty deep cavity in a tooth that could not be repaired with a filling. Dr. Langdon has advanced technology that allows him to design the crown, custom-make the crown, and install it all in one visit. No temps and no follow-up appointments. I was all set in one day and have not had any problems since then. I will continue to see Dr. Langdon and his incredible staff. Thank you for taking good care of me!

The entire procedure only took about 30 minutes, and it was both relatively easy and painless. I left with instructions to take Advil for a few days to help with the inflammation.

I'm pleased to have had such a great experience, and will definitely return to Dr. Callison if I need another root canal.

I get up from the chair and call the same number on my insurance card and poof- yes indeed insurance is active. A 3 minute phone call! "We'll have to reschedule for next week so the Dr. doesn't have to rush" i am told. So another week of pain and discomfort because you didn't make a phone call ahead of time. Hmmmm. Why did you not prep the insurance work BEFORE I came in? BEFORE I gave up my morning of work!? BEFORE I was reclined in your chair with a bib on? You had a week to make that phone call and discuss with me any discrepancies. Shame on you. That is very unprofessional and disrespectful. Going home with pain and nothing resolved... and I'm sure I will be billed for that useless xray. Scheduled appointment with someone else. They verified my insurance before I made it home.

Bully and refused to clean my teeth over pricey mouthwash!!!!!…read more I had a very uncomfortable and unprofessional experience at this Ideal Dental location. They refused to perform a basic teeth cleaning because I did not want to pay $200 for a mouthwash that was supposedly required to numb my mouth during the cleaning. I go to the dentist every six months, and this was the first time I've ever had inflamed gums. I was told this "special" mouthwash was necessary, which did not seem reasonable to me. The financial staff made me feel pressured and bullied when I asked about getting work done before 2026. The interaction was extremely uncomfortable. When I later called back on December 26 to clarify some charges, I was told the supervisor would not be available until January 15, 2025, and the acting manager I spoke with was unable to clearly explain the process. She incorrectly stated that my new benefits would not start until January 1, 2026, and that the proposed treatment would use up all of my 2026 benefits, which did not make sense. Previously, another staff member had told me that if I waited until the new year, the cost would be cheaper--but that statement was later retracted. To get clarity, I contacted another Ideal Dental location. They reviewed my account and confirmed that the original information I was given was correct and that the acting manager at this location was wrong. My insurance company also confirmed the same information. Due to the conflicting information, poor communication, and unprofessional behavior, I no longer trust this location and would not recommend it.

The moment I walked in, the music was blaring and the TV had a game show on--also blaring. I had every X-ray known to man taken, plus a scan of my mouth that was never explained to me. Before even examining me, the dentist pulled up an AI scan and immediately started telling me how badly I needed Invisalign and that I might need crowns on my front teeth due to alignment issues. This was shocking, as my previous dentist had only ever suggested I consider a mouth guard--nothing even close to this. She then told me I needed all four of my silver fillings replaced. I had been at my previous dentist just three months earlier, and he confirmed they looked good and did not need replacement. The dentist left and sent in the insurance coordinator with a treatment plan that included added fees for fluoride and mouth rinses (not covered by insurance), the cost to replace every filling, and Invisalign. I was then asked if I wanted to go ahead with the cleaning and replace all four fillings the same day. At that point, I was ready to get out of there. I will say everyone was very nice and friendly, but I will absolutely never return.

Dr. Jung took a personalized and very hands on approach. I was shown X-rays, we discussed options and next steps at length.

The condition of the premises is nothing short of, immaculate. The staff deserves a big hand. Everyone I came in contact with from the gorgeous, knowledgeable receptionist/office manager who worked with me to ascertain that my insurance would be accepted, and my wait was minimal... Through the courteous and efficient dental hygienists/assistant who took my X-ray with out causing additional pain and ensured that I was as comfortable as possible throughout the entire procedure. I have suffered greatly, through subpar dental treatment in the past. That is why these services are especially noteworthy. When I needed it most, how fortunate I was to find Dr. Jung. Twenty-one years of experience, professionalism and compassion. I would be remiss if I gave this entire practice less than five stars!
