Hi,
I have lived here for a few years and still cannot find a good dentist! Help!!
I have tried Dr. Mark Andrews in Cary and he was SO expensive and wanted to do TONS of cosmetic work on me. I ran out of his office fast!
I have also tried Howarth family dentistry and I had issues with work they had done. I am also turned off by the fact that the woman in that office calls every couple of days begging me to make a cleaning appointment. I think they are desperate for patients or something. Its also odd that I can call and get a cleaning appointment the following day, maybe even the same day! Although that is handy it makes me wonder why they arent booked like dentists usually are.. Also, their turnover rate is very high with employees which I dont like.
Anyway, does anyone have other suggestions? I really need to find a good dentist in the Apex/Cary/Holly Springs area.
Thanks so much!!
We just started going to Dr. Amit Patel in Cary. West Cary Dental. We've both had cleanings and I have an appt next week for two small spots to be filled. But so far so good. Dr. Patel and staff are very friendly and he seems very knowledgeable.
I second Dr. Amit Patel! He is wonderful, highly skilled and does not EVER try to sell you unnecessary cosmetic fluff. His office staff is great, the office is spotless. My DH went elsewhere initially and the dentist tried to convince him he needed a bunch of cosmetic work (he has had about 4-5 fillings in his entire life)!! Dr. Patel told him he needed none of that! Just a cleaning. His practice is West Cary Dental, located right on Rt 55 near High House.

We have been with Howarth for 12 years with a totally different experience.
Howarth is quite busy in Raleigh and it takes a while to get an appointment there. Dr. Devine is great and stands behind his work 100%. Dr. Campbell is also wonderful.
I'm just going to be sexist here and say female dentists are better. Male dentists have always hurt my mouth (larger hands, I guess they can't fit). Dr. Foy is really friendly and does great work. I always leave feeling it was a pleasant experience although I used to be somewhat dentist-phobic.

Recommend them highly.
I just had a really really bad experience with them.. I had a chipped tooth and when I went in they told me I needed a root canal or had to have the tooth pulled. I opted for the root canal and crown so I could save the tooth. They botched my root canal up and I had to come back for several more visits to correct it. Then during one of the corrections they spilled an acid like substance into my mouth which burned my tongue and I had no taste for a week. That was fun! Then the real kicker was when I went to a different dentist for the crown and he told me I didnt have to have the root canal... he said he could have fixed the chipped tooth and didnt understand why I was given that ultimatum. ugh.
Then I had my teeth cleaned and the hygenist almost yanked out one of my crowns with the dental pick. I told her to stop and pushed her hand away. She didnt know that tooth was a crown and started getting rough with it thinking she just couldnt get the plaque off. I decided I didnt want to go back after I left the office in tears.
As you can tell nothing worked out for me there!
