I am so glad I decided to come here. I have very sensitive teeth, and get cavities often. This has created a lot of dental anxiety for me. I hadnt been to the dentist in years because I was scared of being judged. The team here was so welcoming and supportive. I left my first appointment so happy that I decided go to this dentist! After coming back, I have been beyond impressed with how much they advocate for their patients. The team here truly goes above and beyond and will help you in every way possible if you are struggling with dental costs. I cant recommend them enough!! Btw - Mia is the best, she is so easy to talk to and is incredibly thoughtful. She made me feel totally relaxed when I was feeling nervous about coming back to the dentist!
Very friendly and competent staff with state of the art equipment. The dentist and hygienist both explained things well and took time to answer questions completely.
I am so glad I went back to 818 Dental. I was a longtime patient of Dr. Pyle at the same location, followed by Royal Oak. Now that it’s 818 Dental — an independently owned practice again — it is back to the high standard reminiscent of Dr. Pyle and his team. I loved everyone I met, including the hygienist, office manager, and the very kind Dr. Wingate, and they are all clearly great at their jobs. Efficient, friendly, skilled, great prices and insurance liaising. What more could you ask for?
I was so deeply appreciative of the work that brandi and dr.lubecki did on my teeth today. Talk about a team that gave so much of their time and did such a great job on my teeth. I am deeply appreciative. Dr.harry buzbuzian
The 818 Dental team is great. I established care with them last year and have been very happy with the ability to get in and get seen, get referrals for surgery, and most of all with the friendly staff. The hygienists and dentist here are very knowledgeable and very thorough. Helped me figure out what I needed to do to get my night guard covered by insurance, and walked me through the issues and possible options for treatment. If you are new to the area and looking to establish care, I recommend them highly.
