Lifetime Family Dental

I went to this office because they offer sedation and the good reviews. He did a tooth extraction and a crown. I few days after the crown was put in I had issues with it. He did an adjustment but I still had issues so I had to go back a second time he refused to look at it and referred to a root canal specialist I decided to go to a different practice where I discovered that the crown was placed incorrectly that potentially caused the nerve damage and that during the tooth extraction he cut the root of the tooth next to it (Saw the 3D X-rays) cause irreparable damage. The tooth will have to be taken out and replace with an implant. I paid doctor Dr. Gudger thousands of dollars for these procedures. And because of his negligence now I have to get all these done. I feel like was lied and scammed. I would not recommend this dentist

I am terrified of the Dentist. And I’ve gone to many offices who claim they understand, they are there to help, only to be disappointed and be embarrassed because I can’t change my fear. I took a chance on Lifetime Family Dental. They make you feel welcome. You can have a real conversation about your plan of care- nothing is traumatic. Dr. Gudger is knowledgeable, well spoken and his office has state of the art equipment. Post procedure follow up-you feel heard. His staff text & call to check on you. My only regret- not starting here.

Completely careless to give proper I information and the dentist guy told the receptionist “handle that” referring to me. When all I did was be patient for an hour just for them to tell me they couldn’t help. Waste of time

Long story short but while visiting family in NC I had a filling come out which caused me absolute panic. After calling so many dentists was able to find Lifetime family dental and get an appointment for super fast support. All of the staff were so friendly and I received the highest quality of care. I’m a marshmallow at the dentist and was super anxious but it was honestly one of the best filling care I have ever received. Office was so nice and so happy I was not only to get support quickly so that more damage but was not caused but also to find this office! Could not recommend more.

I had a molar break on New Years Eve. I reached out a bunch of places and of course no one was open on New Year’s Day. I have never been here before but when I explained my situation they opened for me, missing time with their family on a holiday to help someone they had never worked with before. I ended up having to have an extraction and bone grafting and they did it that day for me, while fixing a molar behind it while they were in there. They were even able to sedate me for the procedure. They didn’t have to help me, and really had no reason other than pure human compassion to do so. Three people came in to help me, and I truly appreciate them. I will be going to them from now on.

I went to this office to do two things: 1. Establish a new primary dentist and 2. Get an evaluation and quote for wisdom teeth removal with full sedation. They gave me a price and asked me if I wanted to see if I qualified for the Care Credit payment option (essentially a loan to help you pay in increments). I told them that sure I'd be willing to see if I qualified for it. Never ever once did they tell me by inquiring about my qualification for such a lone meant I was giving them authorization to open one for me. They constantly reiterated to me that this was going to be a qualification check and essentially a “soft pull” of my credit to do so. About a week later I receive a credit card in the mail with $14,000 of credit that was already deducted from the account for the cost of the procedure. I NEVER opened the account and I NEVER even scheduled for the service. Yet, these people already applied for the card in my name AND already took out the $14,000. I had to call the Care Credit company and file for fraud. The company did an investigation and found that I was not the individual who opened the account and that it was indeed done fraudulently. They gave me the name of the person who worked at the dentist office that applied for the loan with mg information and I had never even spoken to that person while I was there. I will NEVER go back here and I have told everyone I can to avoid this place. What awful, disgusting, and predatory business practices. I went to a different dentist and I got everything I needed done with full anesthesia and was quoted a QUARTER of what they did. I hope they are ashamed of themselves for taking advantage of patients like they did me. If I could give this place -10 stars, I would. They didn't even clean my teeth for me while I was there! Another issue was the “consultation” which included one set of X-Rays that WITH insurance was over $700. I got charged for three different X-rays and insurance ended up only covering one of them. Then when I asked for a copy of my X-rays to be sent over to the new, better dentist, the new dentist said the X-rays were so bad they were completely unusable and they had to do new ones. Thankfully the new dentist didn’t charge me for re-doing them which was a life-saver. So I essentially paid $700+ out of pocket for unusable X-rays and they didn’t even touch my teeth beyond that.

I’ve had a lifetime of painful dental work. Currently working and have been over the last two years, replacing failing crowns with Dr Gudger and team. Truth is I’ve been traumatized by so much lifelong dental work. Enter the team at Lifetime Dental. They hold my hand, they understand I’m scared and everyone is so empathetic Skill? Ten Star. High tech dentist. He’s adept and fast. Totally in sync with the patient in his chair. Can’t say enough wonderful things about this group. Just the best. Relax. They can fix your issues and they truly care. Btw. I have six implants. Dr Gudger has done three. He’s amazing! Love Hailey and Jana as well. Thanks to the entire staff.
