Amazing experience with Zoom whitening. Becky, the dental assistant / hygienist, was professional…read moreand courteous every step of the way. She was patient and well-informed and explained every step so that I would be comfortable throughout the entire process. We shared a room for a little over an hour because she made it efficient, and she had a great sense of humor. It was my first time - the stinging and tingling over the next day weren't fun (but it's gone now, a day later) and my teeth are already pretty white naturally, so I probably won't be doing another Zoom session. But if I did, these guys would be my very first choice. It was cost-effective ($100-$200 less than competing options) and they had some limited availability (vs. other places, which were more expensive AND less available), so I can't say enough good things. The office looked clean and professional, and the dentist who came in for the quick inspection was extremely nice - Dr. Taqvi - and if I were living in the area, he'd be at the top of my list. The front desk staff was hit or miss - some of the folks were extremely nice and courteous, while others (and I think this applies to the call center staff in DG) were not so nice and not so helpful. But overall a great experience!

it's been a few years since I've been to the practice. I was in visiting family and scheduled a…read moreroutine cleaning well in advance to accommodate my window of time in town. I explained on the phone I wanted a CLEANING with the hygienist ONLY and would not want an exam or X-rays (since I would be paying out of pocket because of no longer having insurance). I had an exam, cleaning and full X-rays as of November 2025 with no issues and the person on phone said this was fine. I come to my very early appointment and the hygienist comes out to tell me I would need xrays, after explaining everything AGAIN, I promptly had my last X-rays sent over to them. Then the office manager comes out to tell me that my X-rays are fine but I would still need an exam since it had been so long since I had one with their practice even though I had seen a dentist for an excellent check up not even a year ago.... mind you a cleaning is over $150 out of pocket and over an additional $50 something dollars for an exam I certainly did not need. After the manager tried to bully me into the exam, I proceeded to walk out as I was told they wouldn't clean my teeth without an exam! How utterly unprofessional that first this wasn't clarified when on the phone initially and to be literally pressured on the spot after the fact was soooo bad. My daughter is still a patient there and I had been a good standing patient for many years to be treated with such disregard and to be turned away over $50 basically. I've personally worked in dental field for over 20 years and this was a very poor experience to say the least. I would see Patients come in all the time for just a routine cleaning without a hassle whatsoever. That's the experience you will get in a corporate owned practice that is all about the numbers and bottom line. Do yourself a favor and go to a small family practice where you will be treated with respect and professionalism!

I came to this dental office on the recommendation of my partner, who's been a patient here since…read morechildhood and always spoke highly of the care they received. Based on that, I was genuinely looking forward to becoming a patient myself. While the staff were kind and the care itself was great, I have to express major concern about how billing and insurance transparency were handled. I'm 30 and relatively new to having health insurance. I've always been cautious--some might say overly cautious--because I've heard too many horror stories about surprise medical bills and unclear insurance coverage. That's why I was very thorough in asking upfront about the cost of my treatment and whether anything might be billed later. I was told clearly that my insurance would not cover the deep cleaning due to a waiting period, which I understood. I made it very clear that I was fine paying out of pocket, but only if the amount I was quoted was the total and that there would be no additional charges later. I double-checked before both of my appointments and even again while paying--each time, I was reassured that the amount I paid was the full and final cost. Then I started receiving conflicting bills. One person told me I owed $325, another said $773, and yet another said $441. This inconsistency is incredibly frustrating and has completely undermined my trust in their billing process. If you're someone like me who needs cost clarity and peace of mind, I would not recommend this office. The care may be great, but the lack of transparency on billing is deeply disappointing. The update is that they recently gave me a treatment plan with all these added numbers and notes on this sheet which is totally different then the ones I've received in person after paying for my services honestly it's kind of ridiculous . Especially when I explicitly asked for transparency and nothing that was written down was spoked to me at all.

I have always had an excellent experience at Hidden Lakes Dental…read more I see Dr. Petrilla and my usual hygienist is Melanie. Both are friendly, professional and do excellent work in explaining every procedure that is needed, while making me feel comfortable and alleviating anxiety. I had a recent situation where I needed and implant and the referral as well as entire process and the way it was handled with Dr. Petrilla showed me what a professional yet extremely caring person she is. My last appointment was for the first part of my crown. Both Dr Petrilla and her assistant/hygienist, Cynthia, put me at ease. Cynthia was on top of giving me water rinses and making sure to keep my mouth clear with the suction tool. They are constantly communicating to make sure you stay calm and comfortable. I have had other hygienists at this practice and every single one was friendly and accommodating, while doing a great job with the cleanings.

The doctor did not wait long enough for the novocaine to kick in. He yelled at me for jumping each time he hit a nerve. He told me I had to hold still. I told him that my jumps were involuntary due to the sharp pain while he drilled. I complained and he assured me it would not happen again. The next time he gave more time for the novocaine but I still felt pain. Perhaps there was not enough. When a crown was cemented in place on another visit I again felt excruciating pain as he scrapped under the gum line to remove the cement. In addition the office is extremely small. My feet were less than a foot away from the wall. The dental assistant has to squeeze around the room. There is no tray table. The dental assistant drops tools on your chest for Dr. Marchese to use.

She always takes the time to explain every procedure, why it's being done, and answers all of my questions without making me feel rushed. Andrea and Liza are also incredibly kind and welcoming--they make every visit comfortable from the moment I walk in. I originally went in because years of grinding my teeth had started chipping them away, to the point where I actually broke one. Dr. Hamdan recommended trying Botox for my TMJ and grinding. I had never had Botox before, and it honestly wasn't something I was looking to do. But if it meant protecting my teeth, I was willing to give it a try. Two weeks later, I can confidently say my grinding has decreased by about 80%. I barely clench my jaw anymore, the constant pressure and soreness are gone, and it's made a huge difference in my day-to-day comfort. As a bonus, it even slimmed my jawline a bit! Between the Botox treatment and my new crown, I'm extremely happy with the results. I couldn't recommend Dr. Hamdan and her team enough

"Doctor" Lina Hamden completely BUTCHERED my tooth. I went in for a simple surface cavity filling…read moreand left with my tooth shaved flat and to a tiny point that cut my tongue up. She numbed me with novocaine and then kept asking "does that feel ok now." I had no idea what she was doing or what "ok" meant. I'm completely numb, how am I supposed to know that I'm biting on a filling? So she just kept shaving more and more of my tooth off. When I accused her of being rushed in an email I was told that she took her time. So I guess I will say that she very thoughtfully and methodically shaved the inside of my molar flat and to a tiny sharp point. For weeks until I could get into another dentist I chewed on one side and had headaches and jaw pain. I can't believe that my bite is never going to line up and again and my tooth will feel misshapen and deformed from now on. Now the right side of my jaw clicks because my teeth don't line up. I wake up every morning in shock because I can't believe someone would do this to me. On top of that, this "dentist" and the rest of the staff seem to have no idea what's going on. When I initially came in for a cleaning I asked for an out-of-pocket quote for a mouthguard and was told it was a little over $500. Also, I asked about making an appointment for both the cavity and to fix a loose filling, but was told to only do one at a time. When I get there for my filling appointment I was told that the appointment was for both, even though I only made the appointment for the cavity filling. I was also told by the receptionist that they hadn't heard back about the night guard. Then 10 minutes later the "dentist" tells me that insurance denied it and it was about $900. On top of that, when I told them what I was originally quoted for, they basically called me a liar saying they have no idea how I would even get that information. After she ruined my tooth, she did offer for me to come back and look at it, but if this person can't even complete a routine filling without ruining my tooth, I would have to be crazy to go back and let her cause more damage. I had to go to another dentist who was absolutely shocked at how horrible of a job she did. He did his best to smooth it out, but it's still jagged and catches my tongue. On top of that, they billed my insurance and billed me and then wouldn't even reply to my email when I told them they owed me a reimbursement.

THE MOUTH MAN PROPHECIES…read more Solace Dental has wonderful staff and gorgeous facilities. It's safe to say that while most people don't enjoy going to the dentist, some may hate them more than others (although 'hate' is such a strong word I'd reserve for Yankees fans, the cheatin' Astros and people who don't use their turn signal). My wife signed up our family with Solace Dental in 2020 and it's been great ever since. You wouldn't think much of them based on their location near a Dollar Tree in the northwest corner of Boughton & Weber Rd, but Solace is pristine on the inside. The waiting room is clean, tastefully decorated for the season, and every patient room has a TV. Most of their equipment is state-of-the-art. Dr. Zaidi is simply awesome, although his brother doesn't have quite the same rapport or gentle touch. All of the dental assistants and front desk staff are SUPER friendly, possibly the nicest people I've ever encountered outside of Chik-fil-A. They're a good-looking bunch, too, though that's neither here nor there. On a prior visit they were running behind which made for a much longer wait than usual, but that was an isolated incident and recently I was in & out quickly. They accept most insurance plans and copay amounts are generally reasonable. I can't think of a negative thing to say about them. * TL;DR * Do you swear to pull the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth, so help you god? Whether you're scheduling a routine cleaning or a more involved procedure (queue the whirring dentist drill), Dr Zaidi and his team are dedicated to a positive patient experience. They use cutting-edge technology and are consummate professionals through & through. Scheduling and communication is always on-point. If you're thinking about switching dental providers, do it. I highly recommend Solace.
