I arrived early to my appointment so I had to wait a bit to be seen. The admin was really nice when I checked in. Make sure you have your ID and insurance card on hand. They have a small waiting area with comfy chairs. You can smell the products the staff is using, it's very strong and they also have wall plug in scents. It can be overpowering if you sat near it. I thought it was a small place until they took me in for Xray and to be seen by the doctor. They have modern devices. The doctor is really nice and the staff too. They were light handed when looking into my mouth which I like. I have anxiety whenever I go to a dentist or doctor etc. They made me felt welcome. They do have a bathroom outside of the office, you'll just have to ask for the key. It's a pretty old building.

I had already been through the wringer and was distrusting of dentists from my negative experiences. Thankfully, as soon as I came in for my FREE Consultation with Dr. N , I was greeted with a smile and treated with the utmost respect. Her bedside manner is impeccable and she explained to me that my last dentist has made a mistake on my last appointment. The team at Dental Arts went into immediate action, getting me the care I needed in an efficient and professional manner, all the while being kind and supportive about the stressful situation I was experiencing. As of now, the team has taken care of fixing this mistake, honoring the lowest rate possible given by any HMO insurance, and even offered to keep me on an HMO discount plan after being laid off and losing coverage. I can not recommend them enough.

I went in for discomfort related to an existing filling that appeared to be lifting slightly at the…read morecorner. What I expected to be a straightforward evaluation quickly escalated into being told I needed a crown and was also advised that I would likely need a root canal. Given the limited nature of the issue, this recommendation felt excessive and was not supported with clear or convincing clinical evidence. I only came here because my dentist was closed for the holidays!!!! I was not shown cracks, extensive decay, or definitive signs of irreversible nerve damage that would normally justify such invasive treatment. Conservative options, such as replacing the filling first, were not meaningfully discussed. Instead, after a brief sensitivity test, I was presented with an extensive treatment plan that included a crown, core build-up with pins, a CBCT scan, and a root canal all at once. What was especially concerning is that the approach seemed to set patients up to pay for multiple major procedures separately!!!! I was told I needed a crown, but at the same time a root canal was recommended as a likely next step, meaning I could potentially pay for two different invasive procedures rather than being clearly told the most appropriate treatment from the beginning!!!!!! This lack of clarity made the process feel inefficient, costly, and unnecessary. The explanation felt rushed and left little room for thoughtful discussion or questions. It gave the impression that the treatment plan was pre-determined rather than based on a careful, step-by-step diagnostic process. Major, irreversible procedures were discussed before establishing whether less invasive options could reasonably resolve the problem. After the appointment, I took the time to read reviews for this office and noticed a consistent and concerning pattern. Many other patients describe nearly identical experiences being immediately directed toward crowns and root canals, along with additional procedures that insurance often does not cover. Seeing how closely those reviews mirrored my own experience raised serious concerns about the overall approach to treatment here. I left feeling pressured to agree to extensive and irreversible dental work without clear medical justification. Patients should be cautious, ask detailed questions, insist on clear explanations, and strongly consider getting a second opinion before agreeing to crowns or root canals at this office. I'm relieved I trusted my instincts before committing to unnecessary work. My regular dentist was able to fit me in. I showed my dentist everything they were charging me for and laughed!!! He said this was completely ridiculous
