I was very impressed by the fast response to our new visit request. The staff was very courteous and my daughter was... excited I could be in the room using PPE. The hygienist was gentle yet thorough and our dentist was terrific in looking at all details in her mouth and took time to explain everything and made my daughter very relaxed. We are so grateful we found Northside.read more

I came to this dentist and spoke with him about treatment for my teeth. He was very pleasant and answered all my... questions. I have many things that needed to be addressed and he was very straight forward. I like that . I told him I am scared of any dentist and he made it clear he would be easy and offered me meds to take before I got there. My front teeth were broken and he fixed them beautiful. I will recommend this dentist to everyone. He’s a very patient and calm manor type of person . I love it there I trust it there and I WILL be going back for all my care for my mouth. So if your scared of a dentist this is where to go. My smile is beautiful now cause of this dentist and his staff. Now I can smile big and talk to people and look them in the eye instead of hiding my face and looking down when I speak. They have changed my life . THANK YOUread more

1. The desk staff is great, consciences and helpful. Incredibly friendly. 2. Dr. Metwally is a perfectionist, so my... temporary bridge is a work of art, literally he worked and worked on it so I looked my best for the interim two weeks before I get my permanent bridge. 3. The staff in the back is amazing, thoughtful, conscientious, and fun. I could not be happier, honestly they set the bar for a great practice or office of any type.read more

This review is SUPER late but I had to get myself together to write it today. I went to Northside Dental in late... July/early-August 2020 because I was already in excruciating pain from a bad tooth. Turns out I needed a root canal pronto, (my first/only one!). I was a hot mess of a new patient; didn't have all of my health insurance details together initially, etc., but their front desk staff worked with me until I did. From there I made my appointment and was in the dental office soon after. They were also kind enough to get me in sooner due to my pain which I was SO GRATEFUL for! I got to meet Dr. Metwally & his dental team who made me feel at ease with every procedure (took me 3 visits). I could go on & on but the bottom line is they took ABSOLUTE CARE OF ME! I've only been here in NC a few years, found them on Google, and I'm so glad I did! It can be a bit nerve-wrecking to find a dentist or a new one - needless to say I hit the jackpot. There are moments where I no longer have chronic pain in my day to day & it is in those moments that I send up a quick prayer for this team because if it weren't for them I'd probably have 1 less tooth and may not have had the same experience elsewhere. Truly I say if you are looking for a group of folks that will take care of your dental concerns, especially if you're a new patient, look no further. You will be treated fairly and with dignity and receive all the best care from the moment you book your appointment. They also have GREAT music playing while you wait :)read more

This dentist office will bombard you with multiple emails and text reminders about your upcoming appointment. But they... will NOT email you the 3 pages of forms you have to review and complete when you arrive at that appointment. Also, they will send multiple emails requesting that give them a review.

My experience was definitely not a good one. The fact that I've been coming there for years with my kids made me think... they would know their patient's. However my last visit my son got called a she, and girl too many times. I felt very offended. I myself have trained as an office assistant and I'm pretty sure that there was a patient list there that morning. So for my son to still get called a she after you seen his name bothered me. After my last visit I've decided to find a more kid friendly dentist moving foward.read more

As someone who struggles with anxiety, especially around dentists and dental work, just making a dental appointment is... daunting task. Not to mention we're in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, from the first after hours contact I made for my dental emergency to the time it took to complete the work, Dr. Metwally and the staff at Nothtside Dental went above and beyond to ensure that my emergency was handled expeditiously while still maintaining their focus on my comfort and mental state. I would also like to mention that the dental work itself was the most painless and flawless that I've ever received in my life. I highly recommend Northside Dental and am very lucky to have stumbled upon it myself.read more

Amazing dental practice! I cannot say enough great things! NSD fixed my crown that was done by a previous dentist. The... previous dentists work was never correct. The crown never fit right, broke several times and they had to put it back in and it was painful each time. Northside Dental took me in and assessed the situation and fixed my crown. So far, it feels better than the previous one EVER did. The doctor and the staff are so friendly and will take care Of you like family! I do not remember all of your names( sorry I am so bad with names) but please know how grateful I am! I have found my forever dentist, even though my insurance does not include them as a provider. I will never go anywhere else!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me!!!! I will not forget your act of kindness and investment in my dental health. Thank you!read more

The people definitely far exceeded my expectations. I've been to several dental offices in the Raleigh area and these... people were not only professional but hospitable. The doctor did not venture into areas that exceed qualifications. This place and people are definitely my kind of taste. I really can't say any more. They really took my breath away with the helpfulness. Cudos to all at the front desk and those who assisted the doctor and even Dr. Rahm. I didn't want to get into names because I don't want to do anyone a disservice. You guys "rock".read more

Oh I like this dental care more than any dentist office I have ever been to. I am 60 years old and I am ODC when it... comes to keeping my teeth clean! They knew what they were talking about and were very helpful very cost conscientious and very informative of what was going on with my teeth. You know when you go to a mechanic they will tell you things that you need to do that you really don’t need to do? That was going on at my other dental office. Dr Chris Powell was very good about explaining what I should have done, and what I really don’t need to have done unless there is sensitivity to my teeth. He pointed out the concerns and told me my options with no pressure on any of it and being very conscientious on the cost and insurance coverage. Susan was very gentle while cleaning my teeth. Chrissy was very good at gathering information and asking pertinent questions and being very patient with me giving my response to her questions. She did the wing-bite x-rays and was a little rough and left sore spots in my mouth that day and the next day. But that can be a hard thing to do on my mouth because it is a very little and not much room to work in. I would highly recommend Carolina dental arts!read more
