Stephania Meeks 1 month ago

Fantastic experience: Great visit today! Conversation was wonderful, cleaning was another plus due to having braces it take a little longer sometime. Today I was signed quickly and the wait was less than 3 mins before getting called back. I hope you keep this check in, I never had an office to request paperwork be completed before they will sign you in. Today that was a relief ‍! I was trying to do online and I was filling out what look like the same forms for over 5 min before I gave up to fillout in the office and I did not loose my place in line.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Lassiter and his team were amazing. I had a minor dental emergency and they were able to take me within hours. The care and compassion they provided made for a positive dental experience. Dr. Lassiter is an exceptional dentist who took the time to listen to my concerns and provided the care needed. He is highly knowledgeable and skilled, and always up to date on the latest dental techniques and technologies; including numbing with the least amount of pain and discomfort as possible. Dr. Lassiter was patient and attentive, and explained everything he was doing and why. Overall, I had an excellent experience with Dr. Lassiter and the entire team at Gaston Dental Associates. It is clear that he and his team are committed to providing a caring environment and positive patient experience. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dentist.

Negative experience: 0/10 , when I came in there, nobody even gave me their name so I don’t recall who my dentist was. The experience was very unpleasant. There was rough and this young lady always was on her phone. I wish They would’ve gave me their names and stuff. They didn’t even ask who I was nor what was the issue overall it was just terrible.

Ronnie Paulley 4 months ago

Positive experience: We really appreciate the consistency of seeing the same team for orthodontics—it makes things much easier. The orthodontist side runs smoothly, the front desk staff is friendly, the ladies in the back are extremely kind, and the orthodontist is incredible. On the dental side, things can feel a bit more hectic. The dentists themselves are very kind, but the process for children can be confusing. For example, my child is often called to the back while there’s already a line, meaning he ends up waiting in the back instead of the lobby. This makes the wait longer and leaves parents wondering why it’s taking so long. Another concern is that appointments are sometimes scheduled without speaking to parents. For kids who are 14 or 15 and cannot drive, a parent needs to be present. It would make more sense to confirm with parents before scheduling. The main issue, however, is the front desk staff. One particular employee seems very unfriendly. I’ve noticed her having personal phone conversations while there is a line of patients waiting to check in. It feels unprofessional and frustrating, as her job is to help keep things moving efficiently. Personal conversations should wait until the line has cleared. Overall, the orthodontic care is excellent, and the dental staff is kind, but the front desk experience on the dental side could use improvement.

Gaston Dental Associates
Gaston Dental Associates

Thank you so much, Ronnie, for taking the time to share such thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re so glad to hear that you’ve had a positive experience with the orthodontic team and that their consistency, kindness, and professionalism have stood out to you. The orthodontic office is a separate office from Gaston Dental Associates, but we’re happy to know that your visits there have been smooth and comfortable.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the dental side of your visits. We’re sorry to hear that parts of the process have felt confusing or frustrating at times, particularly with scheduling and waiting procedures for younger patients. Your insight is extremely helpful, and we’ll be reviewing these areas with our team to ensure communication and check-in flow are improved.

Thank you again for sharing your honest experience and for continuing to trust us with your family’s care. We’re grateful to have you as part of the Gaston Dental Associates family.

Fantastic experience: I made a last-minute appointment on a Friday afternoon to fix a broken filling and tooth. The staff was very friendly. There was no long waiting. Dr. MORGAN attended my niece along with her assistant. I was in and out within the hour. This was a temporary fix to hold me until I got packed from my Family vacation. I was then set up for another appointment as soon as I return from my vacation. The service was awesome.

Jessica Cherry 5 months ago

Negative experience: Very unsatisfied was told that my son could not have the dental procedure he needed in the office because he had anxiety. My child has never been diagnosed with anxiety he is 12 and was meeting a dentist for the first time. The dentist never came out and spoke to me only the assistant. The procedure my son needed was a root canal. His tooth is broken and the nerve was exposed and they sent him home and did nothing for him. Several years ago I had oral surgery there and they were great. Times have changed and not for the better there.

Fantastic experience: Gaston Dental is an office that I am so grateful for. They explained to me the situation and the procedure they had to complete for me. I am a person that has never even thought of going to the dentist. When my friend booked my appointment with Gaston Dental, I wasn't looking forward to it. Right now after my first and second visit with them, I am so very glad to be a patient there. The entire staff was friendly, professional, and so accommodating. Everything was explained in a manner that I could understand and I can't wait to get my dentures there. Thank you all so very much for treating me like family. Sincerely, Edward Tuft.

Since this was the first time meeting this professional, I believe they should have listened to any previous situation, experience, or concerns to create a connection with the patient. Teenagers do not express the problems we as mothers see in them. They called my child in. I stood up to go in. The assistant told me they would do the cleaning, they would do the X-rays, and they would talk to me after they completed the cleaning and the X-rays. I waited, and she came out. Not one took me in. I asked the assistant “I was supposed to go in and talk to the dentist.” She said no, everything is good, not cavities. She’s good to go. They did not say anything about coming back or anything. Then, I received a text with an appointment I didn’t even have the opportunity to schedule myself. They have no consultation time period, No validation for parents, lack of communication, and zero professionalism. And they did not go over the procedure and never showed me the X-rays. Do I believe they did an excellent cleaning no I do not believe it. There was not a significant change.

Fantastic experience: The visit was very inviting. Once i meet Dr. Williams he was very warm and inviting. After introducing himself and what he does he went into asking me what my goals was for my teeth and mouth in general. As he listen to those particular goals he went into my options of my goals and the process of each one of them. He said his main goal was making sure that we reach my goals going forward in however the process takes. He’s a very handsome generous young man and I am definitely glad i made the decision as a new patient to go to this particular dentist office. I am even referring my daughter, whom lives in Charlotte to this same office

Negative experience: Not happy with this dentist, nice people but did not listen to what I have to say. Told them what teeth was hurting, took out one. Saying they need to do X-rays, I figured when we got done that day I had to come back for my partial they would do the x rays the same day, nope. It’s been a week and a day, my mouth has been killing me. I called a dr yesterday got in the same day, they did X-rays and seen how bad the periodontal disease is and how much bone I lost, they took the proper precautions and help me get out of the pain I was in. Dr’s you have got to listen to your patients, something y’all didn’t do, especially when it comes to someone that’s diabetic like myself or has other major medical problems. Will never come back to this office

Negative experience: My family and I have been patients at this dental office for over two years, and I am extremely disappointed with both the front desk and clinical staff. While I’ve tried to remain patient, the ongoing lack of professionalism, communication, and basic dental knowledge has been incredibly frustrating. Almost every time I visit, there’s new front desk staff. It feels like the office consistently hires individuals with little to no experience in either dentistry or customer service. I have private insurance, yet they seem unable to submit claims correctly without repeated follow-up from me. I’ve been told things like, “We haven’t received anything from your insurance,” or I’ve received vague, confused responses that make it clear they don’t understand my inquiries. It’s also apparent that there is no communication between the clinical staff in the back and the administrative team in the front. When I’ve called about treatment plans or insurance approvals, no one can provide answers, and I’m continuously passed around or given incomplete information. Most recently, I called the office to request a copy of my dental scan and was told by Casandra that there was no scan of my teeth. When I asked her to check again with the assistant, she came back saying there was only a scan of my prepped molar for a crown. I explained that a full scan must have been taken; otherwise, how would the lab fabricate the crown without the bite and surrounding teeth? Instead of helping further, Casandra became rude and dismissive, telling me to just come pick up the model of my teeth. She made it clear she didn’t want to assist any further. Frustrated, I told her to cancel not only my upcoming cleaning appointment but also all future appointments for my entire family. She responded by hanging up on me. To make matters worse, I went in for a consultation to see if I could get veneers on my four front teeth to address some minor cosmetic concerns. Dr. Barnes assured me that he could perform the procedure and took the time to show me pictures, models, and explain the expected outcome. However, on the day of the procedure, he prepped my teeth for crowns, not veneers, without my full understanding or consent. He also suggested removing more tooth structure for better fitting of these so-called "veneers" than what we had originally discussed, which was not part of the agreed-upon treatment plan. At this point, I’ve completely lost trust in this practice. I’m extremely disappointed with how I was treated and how poorly my case was managed. If this had been a single back tooth, it might have been manageable but these were my front teeth. Every visit took over two hours, and I had to return to the office repeatedly because the temporary kept falling off. What should have been a positive and professional dental experience turned into a long, stressful process filled with miscommunication and repeated mistakes. If you have private insurance, I strongly advise against going to this office. No one there seems to understand how insurance works, and you’ll end up having to do all the follow-up yourself. You might as well file the claims on your own. Attached are photos showing the before and after. The assistant made my temporary restoration yellow, and it didn’t match my natural teeth at all, something that was never discussed with me prior to treatment. The model shown below represented the expected outcome and the amount of tooth structure to be removed, which was not what I ultimately received. They temporarily cemented two of the so-called "veneers," which is why the other two are not visible in the photos.

Fantastic experience: My first experience with Gaston Dental Associates went so much better than I had expected. I was very anxious because I had been with the same dentist since I was a teenager and I’m now 65 years old. The staff there were all so very nice and understanding with my situation. They right away put me at ease with deciding to come there and I was able to choose them as my new dental office.

Fantastic experience: My son has been going to Gaston orthodontist for about a year now. Insurance finally approved for him to have braces but he needed a cleaning and checkup beforehand. I couldn't get him an appt with the dentist he normally sees so we were able to get a new patient and next day appt here with Gaston Dentistry. My son said the dentist was really nice and he wanted to continue coming to this dentist ❤️ This means so much coming from a child that had to be put completely to sleep for his first dental procedures and then laughing gas for the past 2yrs. I would definitely recommend Gaston Dentistry for young children.
