"There's pros and cons here. So I'll start with the good things. The staff that I encountered here were very kind, compassionate and professional. Even as an adult, going to the dentist is terrifying but they went out of their way to try to put me at ease. Cons, though. My goodness, the cons! I made the initial appointment in September because of an abcessed tooth. The earliest opening they had was for 5 months later, in February. I just went in for that appointment and they took x rays, looked at the tooth and agreed that, yes, the tooth is bad and needs to be pulled. So they make another appointment in July for a consultation with the dentist who will actually pull the tooth. So there's another 5 months of waiting, and that's only for a consultation so someone else can say yes it's a rotten tooth and needs to go. If the current pattern holds, I'm expecting another 5 months of waiting after that to actually get in for the extraction - presumably up to 15 months of repeated rounds of antibiotics, periodically being in excruciating pain resulting in missed work when the rot causes an infection from which there is no relief until the antibiotics begin to take effect. Is it really necessary to have to wait for over a year to have a single tooth pulled? Might I make the suggestion that Advantage should either expand their business and get more dentists or perhaps don't take on so many patients that they are left to wait in pain for more than a year before getting much needed treatment."

"Jenni took great care with our emotions today, really helping us be able to participate and engage and manage Processing uncomfortable news. She is stellar in every way! You are blessed to have her on staff, and I don’t know when she is due for a raise, but my vote is last week."

"The staff were very kind , welcoming and skillful! The front desk staff were very helpful and kind. And Luba, the person who cleaned my teeth is exceptional at what she does! She helps you relax and feel cared about while she cleans your teeth. A wonderful human being! Thank you Advantage Dental!"

"We were referred from another location due to my son being a pediatric patient. The DMD was kind, knowledgeable, very fast, and explained what was happening throughout my son’s appointment so he wouldn’t feel nervous. She was great and the staff we interacted with were great as well."

"As much as one can enjoy going to the dentist, the people at Advantage Dental at Gateway, have made it a great experience. The continuity of hygienists and dentists for several years has been wonderful. They are respectful, caring, personable, and compassionate. They are always on time and explain things fully. I can't say I'm excited to go to the dentist, but I always look forward to seeing the staff and being well cared for without feeling stressed."
