I have been very happy with my experience thus far. Switching to Delaware Smile Design this year was based on them being in-network for my insurer. I have been very happy with their reasonable prices and the decent coverage my insurance provides. More importantly, I switched to Delaware Smile Design after another dentist’s filling left me in serious tooth pain and heat sensitivity. They accommodated me nearly right away. Dr. Chu quickly diagnosed the problem and referred me to an endodontist for a root canal. She has answered my questions and explained treatment options clearly. Scheduling has been painless. I had a filling fail today from a prior dentist and I already have an appointment for tomorrow to address it. I also got the temporary and then permanent caps placed after the root canal. Again, scheduling was painless and Dr. Chu and my hygienist were quick and professional. They make good use of technology with email and text appointment reminders. It’s hard to find a good dentist. But I feel I have found a great one in Dr. Chu. I recommend this practice without reservation.
