My partner and I have been coming here for years and it's always a great experience-. The entire staff is attentive and a pleasure to work with. They've been able to see me on short notice for emergencies, and scheduling routine cleanings is super easy. Every hygienist has been gentle and thorough. Cannot recommend this office enough!

I would highly recommend Cary Family Dental for anyone shopping to find a perfect fit for your dental needs. I went in for a consultation and from start to finish, this visit was professional, friendly, and relaxed. Dr. Davis spent a lot of time listening to me and then explaining his recommendations. Despite going in with what I thought of as significant obstacles, after my visit I felt confident that it was going to be so easy working with this office to accomplish my dental goals.

I had an awesome experience for my first visit to Cary Family Dental! The staff was extremely friendly, and when I had a question regarding my insurance, the help I received was given in a positive and caring way. My dental hygienist, Karen, was extremely kind and treated me with care. Overall, it was a 5/5 experience! I would recommend this practice to anyone!

Cary Family Dental has provided quality care and service to our large family of 6 for the past 9 years. They care about the patient and providing quality care for your dental needs. When our 7 year old needed extensive work they referred us to a pediatric dentist. It was not about the money but making sure our young one got what they needed. As a busy working mom of 4, I am very appreciative of extended days and hours so we do not miss school and work.
