My husband and I are looking for a dentist that does quality work at a fair price. My husband is going to need major work done to his teeth after the military really botched them up, so I need someone who does great work. Any suggestions??? Thank you in advance!

I've never been to them but I made my check up appointment based on all the good reviews I found on the internet from previous customers. Check out Belle Hall Dentistry. If you have MetLife insurance (based on you being military), they take it.

We just switched from Belle Hall to Rivertowne Family Dentistry and I am sooooo happy with the switch. There's just one dentist there so I have had to be a little more flexible with scheduling times, but its worth it.

Right down the road from DW is Tara Griffin, DDS. The office is right behind the CVS.

That's much closer to where I live (DW), and easier with a 2 year old. Will definitely look into both places. Thanks!

Why did you switch if you don't mind me asking?

It's kind of difficult to explain, but I just didn't get a good feel from the place. They all seemed very impersonal to me. My kids hadn't had their check ups for two years because of the move here and just general chaos, and it felt like they were a little judgmental. (That of course could have been my momma guilty complex coming into play, I completely recognize that.)

When it was time to explain what needed to be done in each kids's case the dentist left it to the receptionist to explain it all. They didn't really do anything wrong, I just didn't like the feel of the place. I have a good bit of dentist anxiety, so if I have one who makes me feel comfortable I might actually go!

We've only been to Rivertowne twice but I really prefer the vibe, if that makes sense. Belle Hall is closer for me, but I just don't think we'll go back there. There Dr. Swenson took us back, showed the xrays, and spent a good bit of time making sure my kids understood what they were doing right and wrong for their dental health.
