Team
What patients say
Vibe: professional
Carolina Dental receives overwhelmingly positive feedback (16 of 18 five-star reviews) with consistent praise for professional, thorough dentists and friendly staff. However, two reviews raise concerns: one about incomplete hygiene work during cleaning, and another about perceived sales pressure at visits. Long-term patients report exceptional, above-and-beyond service and strong relationships with the practice.
