    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.

    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.

    Please do not value the other review for this practice. The reviewers are fake and don't live in…read morethis area. I have visited Dr K at Monroe Family Dentistry looking to have a filling replaced and general cleaning care. They ask for payment when you walk in and I paid $99 for bite wing X-rays and an exam. The receptionist tried to sell me a program for treatment which works only in their office for another $300 even before I met the Dentist. I declined the offer. I waited about 30 minutes before I was called back to my appointment. Lots of staff on lunch break and I could smell the microwave odors heating up what smelled like fish teriyaki. The hygienist was friendly but did not have much to experience and while thorough, refused to clean my teeth on this visit. I am still unsure why as I had scheduled an appointment. The dental equipment did not function well and she had a tough time doing some of the diagnostics. After about an hour in the exam chair, my god, the Dentist came in. His scrubs were tight fitting, I guess to show his muscles off, but it felt uncomfortable me as he barely touched my mouth mostly looking at X-rays. Even though I had answered a questionnaire about being a non smoker, he asked me 4 times if I chewed tobacco. Very unusual. I kept asking about what I could do about my filling being replaced and he would not reply. I began to feel very uncomfortable. Without looking at my mouth he rolled his chair away from me and stated, " YOU HAVE SEVERE PERIODONTAL DISEASE AND NEED MUCH WORK". I held back laughter as I knew something was up. This was a real conman at work. I have regularly had dental cleanings and have no disease of teeth or gums. DO YOU HAVE Any QUESTIONS HE SAID? I peeled off about 10 to him and then he told me I needed a $1000 dollar bit plate claiming I grind my teeth and was breaking them apart. Wow! Then he told me I should consider having my jaw expanded surgically. Now this visit just became malpractice. I kept my peace and allowed the Dentist to leave the room. The front desk gave me a detailed treatment plan for a cool $3200. Needless to say I am not going back and I have found a wonderful dentist who cleaned my teeth and is filling my lost filling back and doing one other filling for me. That's all I had. The new dentist said I didn't even have tartar and my gums are wonderful. Said he wished all his patients took as good of care of their teeth as I do. I also noticed many families with children at a Dr K's office. It worries me that he is doing unnecessary work on children. This is outright fraud. Please stay away

Dr. Jung took a personalized and very hands on approach. I was shown X-rays, we discussed options and next steps at length. He monitored my progress and provided aftercare like no other care provider has ever done. Parking is a breeze and the location in central Concord is easy to get to. 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!
