Dental Care in Pineville & Salisbury, NC

To start, I’m using my husband’s Google account, so I’m the wifey. I went to Radiant Smiles today and have to admit I was terrified of being there. I usually get devil hygienists who take pleasure in drawing as much blood from my gums as possible as they gripe about me needing to floss. I’ve avoided dentists for over 3 years for fear of vengeful hygienists, but I had a terrible toothache and couldn’t avoid it any more. I went today expecting to need a root canal or at least multiple fillings and chose this practice because they were recommended to me. My impressions were as follows: 1. The practice was clean and precise. Despite the Covid restrictions, things moved like clockwork. 2. The hygienists weren’t out for blood. I genuinely enjoyed my visit, and my hygienist made an effort to avoid my tender tooth while she was working on my teeth. I appreciated that. 3. The dentist himself was HONEST (elaborating below), professional, and prompt. No long waiting in the chair staring at the wall. Turns out my gum was just irritated from some food stuck in the veeeeery back of my tooth that I couldn’t reach. I was prepared and pretty vocal about thinking I would need major work done on my teeth to fix the ache. I’ve always had perfect, healthy teeth, and I was scared about getting a ton of work done but resigned to it. However, I was reassured that my gum was only agitated from the ‘debris’ stuck in the back (a polite way for them to say you have some food in your teeth😂) and a salt water wash for 2-3 days back there should fix it. If not, I can call back to have a paste called in to my pharmacy. I’ve been raked over the coals by dentists before. Luckily I seek second opinions most of the time. A lot of them are, unfortunately, looking for lots of work for lots of money. Honesty is invaluable, and this will be my practice of choice for more regular cleanings in the future. I highly recommend you try them out if you’re looking for a new dentist. The whole experience was positive, and I won’t be dreading my return for a cleaning in six months now!

Fabulous team! Excellent dentist, Dr. D- and dental hygienist Dash and entire staff are very welcoming, kind, professional and do an outstanding job! Thrilled that we found them! Many thanks! Bill & Susan Maroulis

Absolutely wonderful experience! The entire team, from the time you get to the front door were excellent- super hygienic, friendly & the staff was caring. I can’t say enough about how wonderful the dental hygienist Dash was and the dentist, Dr. D, are a 10 plus! 10 stars!

Very friendly and caring staff. Everybody made me and my kids feel at ease, relaxed and informed about the process. They were very patient as we asked questions and tuned in to my daughter's dental anxiety. Wonderful bedside manner from the dentist and hygienists. Highly recommend!!

Great environment once I walked through the doors. I believe I was the last appointment of the day but everyone was still lively and helpful. I was just doing X-rays and cleaning and my hygienist, Dash made sure I wasn’t uncomfortable at any point. Dr. Desameau was very caring and knowledgeable and the whole process was really fast and efficient. My other dentist office would make me wait for so long that I hated going to the dentist.

The staff was very professional and nice! The visit was great! It was quick and educational. I've found a new dentist!

Best dentist in town. Staff are all fantastic too.

I went in to get 10 crowns on my top teeth for cosmetic reasons and they did a perfect job! They made sure everything was correct and took their time to give me the best look I could get! I highly recommend them to anyone!

My recent visit was nothing short of amazing. The staff creates such a warm environment, you’ll almost forget that you’re at a dental office. The ladies at the front desk Zaria and Shannon are very professional. Tonia and Karen made me feel safe and relaxed. And Ms Dash, there’s no words to describe her. She’s simply the best! She took great care of my teeth. I also met Dr. Desameau- very pleasant person. I’m proud to say this is my new Dental home. I’ll be bringing all my family and friends here. If you’re looking for a safe and friendly environment, look no further.
