Gentle Dental of Haverford

Run far far away from this place! I recently came in for an initial visit and was told I needed full x-rays. Upon examining the X-rays the dentist told me I had SEVEN cavities, including a crown that needed to be repaired. The dentist asked me how long it had been since my last visit and I told him it had been some time. He must have assumed that when I said “some time” I meant years so he thought he could pull the wool over my eyes, when actually it has been 9-10 months. When I asked him how that was possible (since at my last exam at a different dental office I had 0 cavities), he had no answer and insisted they were very deep cavities. When I received the out of pocket estimate (less insurance), it was almost $3K! I told him I needed to think on it and quickly made an appointment for a second opinion at another dentist office. Fast forward to today where I had my second opinion service and in fact have ONE cavity. Not SEVEN. I also learned that the average life expectancy for a crown is 10-20 years, and I’ve had mine for 6.5. To add insult to injury, my sole reason for making an appointment was for a cleaning. However, at the time of my appointment I was told they were fully booked for cleanings until MAY (could have been March, I can’t 100% recall, but still a 6 month wait at a minimum!!) I highly suggest you stay away but if you don’t, do yourself a favor and get a second opinion!

Great experience with Dr. Nached on the first phase of an implant. He was very attentive and made the process for a pretty intensive procedure (at least for me) less intimidating. I felt comfortable and that I was being cared for by a competent and experienced professional. His assistant, Ava was equally warm and attentive throughout the process. I couldn't be more pleased!

The dentists at the practice are marvelous. But pay attention to who you see. I was seen by a "visiting dentist" who suggested I see a specialist for a "problem" he found. After spending hours getting necessary information and somewhat wary of the circumstances, I got a second opinion that suggested there was no problem, but they would monitor. The dentists at this location are excellent, but be aware as part of their franchise agreement they may have to allow "visiting dentists" now and then that are not as good as the regular staff.

I have severe dental anxiety and avoid even cleanings. I have not had one since before the pandemic started. I had to make an appt a few months ago because I had a chipped tooth. The dr. was very patient and kind and gentle with me explaining everything he was doing. Today I went back for a cleaning and Jenny was amazing. I actually look forward to my next cleaning. Thank you for easing my dental anxiety.
