Had an appointment scheduled for 2 o'clock for a cleaning and then at 3 o'clock fillings. They have a policy that if your 10 min late then you have to reschedule. What about our time waiting? Know staff members come and said anything. Didn't get back into the chair untill around 2:30 or so then probably another 15 mins or so, they come in and numb the mouth for the filling. At this point no cleaning or anything except the numbing. At 4:02 they finally come in and regave some numbing medicine. Did the cleaning and filling and it now 4:29. And just was told thanks for your patience we are under staff.

If I can put zero stars I would! Wouldn't suggest to anyone! You guys are frauds! I went in and all they did was an x-ray and they charged me for cleaning and other stuff that they did not do! Please everyone call your insurance to make sure the correct charges are on there!

I started the denture process sometime in 2024, I had been to a different Fort Wayne Dental office where things weren’t going very well from the start. The dentist was knowledgeable and nice but other things (someone of her staff) there seemed to go against her goodness. I needed to make a change to choose another dentist so I called Lakewood Family Dental. I went there for my appointment this week, with very little prior information about dentures. I talked with the people at Lakewood Family Dental and now I understand the process of getting dentures. They will be checked several times to be sure that they are a good fit for me. I feel so much more at ease now, with being confident that I will be satisfied with the new dentures this time from Lakewood Family Dental. Thank you!
