I made an appointment 2 days later for the extraction (they could have even done next day, but I was unavailable). As soon as I sat down in the chair, I was a jittery little ball of anxiety. It was my first time having anything more than a filling. The assistants were amazing! Explained everything in the post-op instructions, answered any questions I had, and numbed my mouth up. But I'm still nervous. Then the dentist comes in: "Ready? If you ever need me to stop for any reason, just raise your hand." He grabs a little tool from the tray. I clench my fists. I curl my toes. And I open my mouth. "Before we get started," he says, as he reaches in, "I'll tell you this. The one thing you can do to help me is to not open your mouth fully.. close it a little and it'll be easier for me and more comfortable for you. Yeah, like that. You see how it doesn't hurt when I push on the inside of your cheek now?" He does that a couple times to show me, and he's right. "And the other thing you can do to help is fight against me when I push on your tooth. Like this. When I push like this, you push back. Yep, just like that. And we're done. If you want to see your tooth, it's right here on the table." This master of distraction did the whole dang procedure while he was giving me the instructions! It honestly felt like magic. Super friendly, super available, super fast. Just super all around. If you need dental work done, I know a wizard in Carmel, IN.

This dentist office is not the best I've experienced. I went for a few visits in 2017, once for a…read morecleaning, and several times for fillings. I had quite a few cavities "in between my teeth" despite the fact that i don't drink coffee or soda ever, I eat pretty well, and floss everyday. I decided to get 4 of the 18 they said I had filled. After my cleaning, I made an appointment for the fillings. I ended up having to work that day, so I rescheduled about a month or two later. When I came in for that new appointment, the technician cleaned my teeth again and tried to let me go! I informed her I was there to get fillings done, and the woman at the front desk was very confused until she saw that I was right as I had just had a cleaning about two months prior. They told me I couldn't get my fillings done that day, even though they messed up so I'd have to come back. I went and got the fillings done and all seemed fine. I was quoted $106 for all four fillings after my insurance was taken into account. However when I received my bill, it's was over $250. That's a big discrepancy. I called to ask why that estimate was so off and I was told that the amount they estimate isn't always accurate. After doing my own investigating, I found that they charged my insurance way more per tooth than they told me they would in the estimate. I was then told that if I wanted to see what the actual amount was per tooth, I had to request that information myself and it would not be provided to me voluntarily by North College Dental. If I went into Walmart and wanted to purchase a gallon of milk, I shouldn't have to ask the cashier how much the milk actually is if the price tag they provided said $1.99! I have a coworker who I recommended to visit this dentist that had a similar subpar experience with billing. Not long after I got the teeth filled, I was in excruciating pain because the fillings were not shaved down properly, so I had to come in again to get that fixed. I was told it would take up to 6 months to lose sensitivity in a new filling, but here I am almost a a year later and it doesn't feel much better than it did when I went in. I can say that they provided me a $5 Starbucks gift card for recommending a friend so that's a nice gesture, and slightly ironic. Way to encourage bad eating habits by providing me free coffee and sugary drinks. I'll be seeking a new dentist.

This is an office that will bribe you to leave them a 5-star review. They will give you several gifts and smile and act all sophisticated; however, they are dishonest.

They will find something for you to get done when you don't need it. Over three visits, I was told I needed 3 crowns when I needed 1.

Westfield Gentle Dentist makes that experience much better. The hygienists, receptionists and Dr. Caron are all very friendly and informative of what they're doing and what they need you to do. Also, shout out to the all-female staff. Get it, ladies. Booking with WGD is easy and they can usually get you in pretty fast. Not something I can say for other medical professionals. In fact, I've gotten a few calls in the past from a receptionist calling to see if I want to book my next cleaning because it's been a while (as a full-time student, I often didn't book my next one because I had no clue what my schedule was going to look like six months out). They would call to say it's time and that they were holding a spot for me if I wanted it. I thought that was fantastic customer service. There was also a time something went funky with the insurance and I had to call my mom to come over (young adult still on parents' insurance- sue me), and they were very understanding in my being flustered and confused. Everything was cleared up right away and we walked out happy. Without going too much into detail, Dr. Caron wrote me a prescription and gave me clear instructions on how to use it on my most recent visit. It cleared up immediately. Thanks!

Dr. Larry Pauley originally purchased his practice from a family friend of mine in the early 2000's. Our family friend had been my dentist since birth, and since I value my teeth, I was initially concerned with having a new practitioner. However, I, along with the rest of my family, have been overly impressed with the services offered by Dr. Pauley. Getting an appointment with him is a breeze; the office staff is extraordinarily friendly and organized; his dental assistants and hygienists are dedicated professionals, and the practice seems to incorporate all the latest dental technologies. Dr. Pauley seems to know all of his patients--and he goes out of his way to make sure that they are satisfied with the level of care which they receive. To my knowledge, Carmel Advanced Dentistry accepts most major dental plans. When the cost of services is beyond the scope of insurance coverage (in other words, when the patient has to pay out-of-pocket), the practice does not overcharge. I also know, from personal experience, that Carmel Advanced Dentistry makes every effort to establish a reasonable payment plan with their patients if they are unable to satisfy their entire bill at the point of service. This, of course, is entirely at the discretion of the practice; I'm cannot guarantee that payment plans are permitted in every case. Dr. Pauley is a dentist with a lot of years ahead of him. That's a good thing for people like me; we won't be looking for a new one anytime soon.
