Northside Dental

I have been a patient for 6 months now. During these 6 months, I had 2 visits for tooth pain (one of my back tooth had a hole in it and it almost got to the nerve so it hurt soooooo bad), and a root canal (which solved the tooth pain). Michelle at the front desk was very nice, and she always called me to confirm appointments, or when an earlier appointment was available.
I had a very great root canal experience here (this was my first root canal). Dr John Birch performed the root canal. It took about 2 hours in total, and I had a temporary crown put in. I will come back in 1 week for the permanent crown. Dr Birch was great and I highly recommend him to everybody. I heard horrible stories about root canal procedures all the time, including pain afterwards and infection etc. Now it is 10 days after my root canal and I did not have any pain or infection (my jaw felt sore the first day after the root canal). Dr Birch constantly confirmed if I was feeling fine during the procedures, and I did not have to keep my mouth open all the time. He let me close my mouth every once a while so my jaw would not kill me after the numbness wore out.
One thing I would like to mention is that Dr Birch only works here on Tuesdays and he is the only dentist that works on root canal. So if you come for a root canal, be prepared for the wait as his schedule might be busy.
They do not have private rooms, meaning that everybody can see you once they get in the facility (not including the people in the waiting room). This doesn’t bother me much, but I would definitely prefer a private room. Hence only 4 stars.
It is a small practice with more of a family feeling here. I recommend Northside Dental to everybody.

This place is great. When I moved to sandy spring 2 years ago, I searched high and low for a good dentist. I went to great expressions and coast dental and they were terrible. The folks at northside dental and great and so efficient. The office is small, clean, and comfortable. When my insurance changed, I simply gave them my info over the phone and when I came in for my cleaning, I didn’t have to wait at all. Northside Dental isn’t difficult like a lot of dentists are to schedule appointments. They’re honest and usually have availability within the week at great times.

I have been a customer of Northside Dental for 5 years now. It is a small practice with more personal friendly customer service. I know the receptionist Michelle on a first name basis. They have always been friendly and accommodating with my schedule. Also considering we have children, they let my husband and I schedule our appts back to back, so we can bring our child in the waiting room. They also took care of my painful wisdom teeth and root canal a couple of years ago. They did an excellent job and called to check up on me! One thing I like is that they don’t shame you when you come in for cleanings which can be common with dental hygienists. They also use a water pic which is less painful, and Dr. Alexander likes to do the cleanings herself. Like I said they are a small practice with more personal customer service. Highly recommend them.

ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! 1^st of all, it’s never a good sign when there are NO patrons… hello, where is everyone??? Next, I asked a simple question indeed, how much is it to for a routine cleaning… answer…umm 75 for adults plus x-rays…my response: i don’t need x-​rays, just a routine cleaning… how much for children? answer: uhhh, $ 75 and we need x-​rays to know what we are working with… RuFREaknSeriouS??? If the price for a routine ($ 60) cleaning is $ 75 for ALL, why would you make a distinction between adults and children when I originally did not. i even asked about a discount for paying cash with multiple members and this broad wouldn’t budge, LOL, how stOOpid was that. what happens guys and gals is that when a potential customer comes in and the establishment is pretty dry and THIRSTY, they try to milk one for as much loot as possible and that’s unfortunate because they end up lonely and empty… Oh well for them… but for you Unilocalers… stay away!!!
