I had an emergency because a crown I had done at another practice a few years ago broke. That crown never felt right anyway.

I always try for the 7:30am appt so I don't have to take off a lot of time from work.

I had a January 2022 appointment with Cornerstone as a new patient, but I had never met them nor did they know me. In panic and hopeful desperation , I called for an appointment on Dec 22 and was seen on December 23. Figuring on the worse but hoping for a temporary relief, I was amazed to have the dentist tell me that it was only a deterioration of glue and he could fix me right there and then!!! And he did. My Christmas roast beef was enjoyed by all, including me! The staff, the attention to stress, and the relief of it were all everything one could hope for in a dental practice. I am so grateful for the results and am am looking forward to my first official appointment in January What a gem of a find!

The day of our consultation we checked in at the front little and they asked us to continue to check in through the doors. It was a bit odd but the woman who was at that desk was really rude. Once in our room the assistant and surgeon were great. Since they only do minors on the day the anesthesiologists are there and they are there once a month LOL. Okay then. We had to call and call to ask them when the July schedule was coming out so we could be one of the first ones on it. So per our schedule the first day we could was July. We had no contact or anything up to our appt. When we arrive we are NOT allowed back? What? I've never heard of this. He is a child!!! Why can't one of us be holding his hand to comfort him while he's put under and then wait in the recovery room for the poor thing. He was so upset waking up and not seeing us there. This is awful imo. What if he didn't make it through the surgery? We'd be out in the waiting room drinking coffee like everything is okay? This left a bad taste in my mouth I'm sorry. I should be able to be with my son as he's being put under and while he wakes. The first time I saw him was when he was walking to our car (don't even get me started on that issue) stumbling and looking not great. My mom heart sunk not being able to be there for him and hold his hand. Now they tell you to pull around. There is absolutely NO sign saying where to go. While we were waiting another mom came back in and asked for more information on where to park? It is not clear where to go. I'm sorry but the first time I see my child after a surgery should not be him getting into my car!!! They sent him home with ONE ice pack, wouldn't you send him home with 2? Even 4 to have 2 frozen while the other 2 are being used? I don't know if anything I mentioned above is normal practice but If I would have known I wouldn't even be in the same room as my son before and after his surgery I would have looked for a place that would allow this. I was sick to my stomach the whole time. I didn't get a single update either. Oh and our bill was $300 more than we were told. Nice. So dr and nurse were nice but I don't think I'd bring a teen here. I'm sitting here in tears so upset how things played out. Anytime your child is put under parents should 100% be in the know and able to even hold your own child's hand!! I'm sick to my stomach honestly.

I brought my daughter here for a wisdom‑tooth consultation after being told the fee would be $126…read more What actually happened was unbelievable. We were charged $293 for a consultation that lasted under five minutes. The doctor didn't even examine her mouth--no physical check, nothing. They took one panoramic X‑ray (not a CT scan) and billed $167 just for that. I asked the front desk to apply our Aetna dental discount plan, and the staff had no idea what I was talking about. They simply repeated that the full amount was required. I called multiple oral surgeons in Cary/Raleigh afterward, and every single one quoted around $130 for the entire consultation, including X‑rays. I think this place is Overpriced, and charge way too much and no transparency in pricing. I think their charging/billing practices should be reviewed. This office's pricing is far outside the local norm, and the lack of transparency is unacceptable. I would strongly recommend asking for a full cost breakdown before agreeing to anything here.

In December of 2025, I finally faced the fact that it was time either to intervene in the slow-and-steady decline of my teeth, or throw in the towel and get dentures. Dr. Arash Khani listened closely to my story, taking into careful consideration all the issues and concerns I expressed, including my general aversion to dental work, my lack of confidence in myself to maintain healthy teeth and gums, and my budget--I do not have the luxury of dental insurance. He subsequently presented me with likely scenarios if I were to choose either to continue ignoring the problem or to give up and replace all my natural teeth. He contrasted those options with a detailed treatment plan that could restore my smile. Thank goodness I chose to put my trust in him and his recommendations! What initially drew me to this particular practice was its proximity to my home; it's located across Banks Street from Tymberline Shopping Center, three short blocks from my front door. But my happiness with the convenient location was quickly supplanted by my delight with the people who comprise the staff. It is they who have left the strongest impression, and I'd like to tell you a little about each of those who've worked with me. First, there's Joanna at the front desk. I can say without reservation I've never met a person who's more kind and caring, warm and friendly, skilled and knowledgeable. Each and every time I walk through the front door she puts me at ease, and it's clear I'm the most important person in the room. Whenever I have any question about the schedule, or my treatment plan, or my bill, she's immediately on top of the matter and either answers straightaway, or gets me the answer after consulting others in the practice. Joanna is a gem! Saylor is my Dental Hygienist. So far, only two of my visits have been with her, and--given the state of my gums--she's had her work cut out for her! This has resulted in my having had less personal interaction with her compared to the others, but nonetheless it's clear she's exceptionally good at her job and as pleasant company as possible when one's patient's oral cavity is also a construction zone. Cheryl is one of Dr. Khani's Dental Assistants, and she is a truly extraordinary person. Over the course of 16 visits to restore my smile, we got to know each other far better than I can remember having known anyone in a similar role. At each new step in this long dental process--from a few minor extractions, to caps, to crowns, to implants, to a final whitening--I never ceased to be amazed at the depth and breadth of her knowledge of procedures, and her astonishing ability to balance the needs of the doctor getting things accomplished, with my need as a patient to be treated with compassionate kindness and, in my case, delicacy. She always seems to know, with pitch-perfect accuracy, when to squeeze my hand, offering a gentle word, when to suddenly distract my attention, and when the best remedy in the moment is to tell some wretchedly corny dad joke! I feel truly blessed to have her in my life. It sounds odd when I hear myself say it but, because of Cheryl, "I'm looking forward to my next trip to the dentist's office!" This leaves Dr. Arash Khani, himself. While demure and unassuming in manner, this gentleman's life story is an inspiration. I suspect his humble origins and the difficulties he surmounted in reaching his present position play a major part in making him the easy-going and approachable person he is. As a professional, I'm unable to imagine how anyone could be more adept and well-rounded. He is a wizard at pain blocking--very high on my list! He has equipped his practice with the most modern and efficient devices available. It's easy to see how he has taken the practice he inherited from Dr. Keith Taylor and turned it into the magnificent caring environment it is today. Oh! I almost forgot: like Cheryl, he has a fantastic sense of humor!

I never thought I'd say this about a dental office, but this place genuinely feels like a spa…read more From the moment you walk in, everything is calm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed, right down to the local artwork on the walls. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive without being rushed, and they immediately make you feel at ease. You're offered drinks, and the warm towels for your face are such a small touch that somehow makes a huge difference. The technology here is next level. They use state-of-the-art equipment, including new cleaning machines that basically power-wash your teeth (in the best way possible). It's efficient, comfortable, and honestly impressive. You can tell they invest heavily in keeping the practice modern and patient-focused. What really sets this office apart, though, is the care. Everything is explained clearly and transparently, no pressure, no upselling, just honest recommendations and extremely skilled work. The owner truly goes above and beyond, and you can feel how much pride she takes in her practice and her patients' experience. If you're someone who normally dreads dental visits, this place will completely change your expectations. I actually look forward to coming back, which is something I never thought I'd say about the dentist. Highly, highly recommend.

Beware of incompetent, unprofessional staff and billing errors…read more I went to this office for a cleaning in October 2025 and scheduled a crown for November. Per their policy, I paid a $500 deposit upfront and the remaining balance on the day of the procedure. A few days before Christmas, they began repeatedly calling, emailing, and texting me about a supposed $584 "past due" balance, asking if I had other insurance. Before I even had a chance to respond, they sent a bill. I was then told by their office to call MetLife and ask them to reprocess the claim--something that should never be the patient's responsibility. I did anyway. MetLife confirmed the issue: the dental office had checked the wrong box on the claim, making it appear I had other coverage, which triggered a reversal. I had to explain their own error back to them after being harassed about a balance that was never mine. At no point did the practice acknowledge the mistake or apologize. Instead, the practice manager said she was "frustrated" that I had contacted MetLife--despite their staff directing me to do exactly that--and even claimed MetLife was being dishonest. The incorrect balance still sits on my account with a prompt to pay. They claim they are not actively collecting, but the system will gladly take my money if I choose to pay it. That is unacceptable. Even worse, if this is not resolved, MetLife may deduct this amount from my 2026 benefits--meaning I could lose coverage for care I actually need. I am now overdue for a cleaning and additional dental work, and I no longer feel comfortable returning. The office is aware of this, yet their response has been dismissive at best and hostile at worst. For a practice that advertises itself as the "number one" dentist in Chapel Hill, this experience has been the opposite. Competence, accountability, and basic professionalism matter far more than marketing claims.
