Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly service from my hygienist and Dr. Baustian.
Fantastic experience: I absolutely love Bostian Dental. I came for treatment for a complex issue after several years without dental care and a recent bad experience at a different practice. Dr. Bostian explained everything clearly and thoroughly and has been very supportive in coordinating the care I will need from other providers. I feel confident that I'm in excellent hands and I would highly recommend Bostian Dental, especially for people like me who have apprehension around dental care.
Alyssa! That's so kind of you. Thank you for the recommendation -- we appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian and his entire staff really have the patient’s interest at heart and work hard to provide relaxing, easy going, top notch service. Whether it is the careful review and teeth cleaning done by Karen or Kelly, the mapping by Olivia, the general office and insurance work by Lisa or Dr. Bostian’s screening and dental work, everyone is engaging, kind and extremely helpful. You really cannot go wrong utilizing their services. I, also, add that I have seen them go out of their way to comfort and help patients who have a difficult time with dental procedures. My whole family feels lucky to have found and become Dr. Bostian’s patients. Not that you are going to spend much time waiting but, when you go don’t fail to notice the artwork (original Peter Max and high end black and white photographs). There is definitely a reason Matthew Bostian is Chapel Hill’s favorite for General Denistry.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian is simply the best. I am a retired dental hygienist so I know. He is not only highly skilled clinically and backed up by the latest technology, he is also a great communicator. On top of all that, he is one of the best to administer local anesthetic. The last time I didn't know I'd had a shot until I started feeling numb. AND, he has a top staff - kind, caring, knowledgeable, and professional. Thank you, Dr. Bostian and staff.
Fantastic experience: From Dr. Bostian to his staff, I had a phenomenal experience at this office. Everyone is kind, compassionate, and extremely attentive to the issue I came in for. Dr. Bostian took his time to hear my concerns and help find a resolution. Dr. Bostian and his staff went above and beyond to help coordinate my care. This is truly the best dental visit I have ever had. I have found a new dental home!
Positive experience: Very good first visit
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian's dentistry is the most professional and caring one I've visited. They not only treat your teeth comprehensively but also give suggestions and prescriptions to improve your overall dental health. They spend more time and effort on exams and cleanings than most dentists. Anesthesia and emotional support are outstanding.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostain and his staff are excellent. I highly recommend the practice.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review!
Fantastic experience: As a high anxiety patient, I was dreading meeting a new dentist. Dr. Bostian was very reassuring, his office pleasant and quiet, and staff were so kind. The best dentist appointment I've ever had. I feel like I can handle dentistry work without any trauma with them--very thankful!
We're so glad to hear that you had a great experience at our practice, thanks so much Kelly!

Fantastic experience: I usually have terrible anxiety during dental appointment.

We're very thankful for your review and recommendation Mary!
Fantastic experience: I always feel at home and treated very special.
Thank you Veronica! It's very important to us that our patients feel welcome and supported!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian is an excellent dentist and Karen is an amazing hygienist. When the practice changed hands a few years ago, I had planned on finding a dentist closer to home but after my first appointment with Dr. Bostian, I decided to stay. He’s the best dentist I’ve ever had at adjusting my bite.
Hi Judy, thank you for your review!
Fantastic experience: I'm a new patient with Dr. Bostian and he immediately identified issues that needed to be addressed. We just started the process and it's going well. I find this to be an excellent practice and am very pleased with everything about it.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review William!
Fantastic experience: At Matthew Bostian Dentistry, my first visit was thorough and efficient. During the exam Dr. Bostian took the time to explain what he was looking for, the condition of my teeth and answered all of my questions. His staff was friendly, respectful and put me, the patient, at ease. I highly recommend his practice.
Thank you so much for your recommendation and feedback Elizabeth!

Fantastic experience: The team really spends time with you. I’ve never had a more comprehensive exam and cleaning and really feel secure now in the health of my teeth and gums! Truly the best dental experience I’ve ever had
Hi Alex, thanks for your review! Our goal is to provide excellent healthcare to our patients with efficiency!
Fantastic experience: The office is so clean- it immediately made me feel safe in this covid world. Everyone was extremely professional and the protective measures taken for clean air and disinfection were obvious. As always, the level of care was awesome. Great team of welcoming faces that know me and care about me first-then my general and oral health. So nice to see the same familiar faces- and it is nice to see that no one is in such a rush. They actually listen to me. I appreciate that here is always time to talk and have questions answered. If you have been here you know it's great, if you haven't then you should come see these folks.
Thank you so much for your kind words and thoughtful review, Sid! We're really committed to forming and maintaining strong relationships with our patients. We always look forward to seeing you and look forward to next time!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian and his staff are awesome! They work together as a team and give their patients superior treatment of care. My husband and I have been coming to his office for about 4 years. His bed side manner, professionalism and knowledge of dentistry is phenomenal!! Two years ago I had bitten down on something two days before Thanksgiving and broke my lower jaw tooth, as well as lost the filling from it from many years ago. We had family coming in from out of town the next day and I panicked cause the dental office was closed. I left a phone message at Dr. Bostian's office and he came into the office after hours and fixed the tooth, filled the area and smoothed the tooth down for my bite. He and his assistant completed the restoration of the tooth. He is so gentle when numbing the area for any work and mindful of any pain to not cause you any discomfort. A more recent visit to Dr. Bostian was this morning, after calling his office yesterday, Lisa was able to work me in for an early appointment this morning. My bite seemed off since my braces had been removed and I was biting into my jaw when eating or talking. It was painful and felt swollen. He looked at my teeth and jaw, after a thorough examination, and he quickly saw the problem by fixing it and smoothing out the tooth that was causing me to bite into my jaw. It was amazing how quickly he resolved the issue without numbing the area. No discomfort whatsoever. Five stars, nope, more like 15 stars should be given for him and his team!! My husband and I highly recommend the care and thoroughness of Dr. Bostian and his great team!!!
Wow thank you for such a wonderful review Linda!! When we get an emergency call it is always important to us to respond promptly, thank you for entrusting us with your oral healthcare.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian is great, detail-oriented, and patient-centered. Glad to have found his office!
We appreciate the feedback Garrett!
Fantastic experience: Warm and friendly practice. Both Karen and Dr. Bostian made me feel comfortable. Dr.Bostain took the time to explain in detail his concerns. He even took pictures so I could also see his concerns. I would highly recommend this practice.
Thank you very much for your review and recommendation Gale!

Fantastic experience: An outstanding first visit. The entire staff is welcoming, treatment is thorough and entirely professional. This is a super star practice.
Thank you so much Ed! We have superstar patients :D
Fantastic experience: They worked me in when I had tooth pain, and then gave me as much time and attention as I needed. The explanation of what comes next and its cost was clear and compassionate. All of the options were presented, as well as a timeline. I'll be using Dr. Bostian as my dentist going forward.
Hi Janine, thanks for your review! It's very important that our patients feel comfortable and understand treatment recommendations, we're glad we could provide a good experience!
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a dentist who is thoughtful, thorough, who listens to your concerns and pays attention to detail I would highly recommend this practice. Of course, I'm a little partial, but the consistently high reviews speak for themselves. His staff is wonderful too!!
Thank you for the kind words, Barbara!
Fantastic experience: Best dentist I have been to!
Thank you Jaycee, that means a lot to us!
Fantastic experience: Great Professionals here and truly appreciate Dr. Bostian's gentle treatment approach and expertise!
Thank you so much, Martha! I appreciate your kind words and continued support. It's always such a pleasure to see you.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mathew Bostian and everyone that works at his office are top notch! Knowledgable, professional, thorough, and friendly. My mom was a dental hygienist so I've come to know and expect quality dental care. Having just moved here I'm relieved to have found them so quickly.
Thank you so much for your review Sean!
Fantastic experience: Always get a good service at his clinic. Highly recommended
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The best of the best. Unfortunately it has been some years since I have seen a dentist. Let me tell you the entire staff was professional, caring and very detailed about my matter. Dr. Bostian was the bomb…… but his staff was so on point, everyone worked well together for my best benefit. Grateful.
Thank you Ewurama! We're so glad you've joined us!
Fantastic experience: Y'all are the best! I wouldn't go anywhere else!
Thank you for your kind words! We appreciate you and look forward to next time.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service today. No wait and explained the process completely!
Hi Gordon, thank you for taking the time to give us a review. It's very important to us that patients understand and feel comfortable with treatment plans. We look forward to seeing you!
Fantastic experience: I am swooning with admiration at my new dentist..I feel like I am in GREAT hands. Took so much time and listened to everything I had to say. I'm thrilled
Hi Toby, thank you for the kind words!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this dental practice due to their outstanding skill, service, and kindness. This practice is highly professional. Each staff member, from Lisa, to Karen, to Dr. Bostian has done a tremendous job restoring several teeth. Lisa works hard to obtain some funds from my insurance plan. Karen makes sure my teeth and gums are sparkling clean. If dental hygiene was an Olympic sport, Karen would win the gold! Dr. Bostian restored some teeth that were significantly damaged. He took great care to insure crowns are a good fit and look good. I smile with confidence now, which was a goal when I found this practice. I feel fortunate to be a dental patient here. The staff here is pleasant, welcoming and engaging.
Kassia thank you so much for your lovely review, we feel fortunate to have you!
Fantastic experience: Always an excellent experience!
Thank you Jill, we look forward to seeing you next time!
Fantastic experience: Great experience as everyone in the office is kind, professional, and very well-trained. They are outstanding. Highly recommended!
Thank you for the kind words, David! We appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: Just finished my second cleaning & exam with Dr Bostian’s office since moving to Chapel Hill. I very much appreciate Dr Bostian & his staff. Exams & cleanings have been thorough & comfortable. I leave their office feeling like I have a good understanding of what’s being watched & what the fixes are. That’s good since I like to plan ahead a bit. (I haven’t needed any big work done yet, but I have come to town with some aging crowns & fillings that I want to last as long as they can do their job but retire before they fail.) Also, both times I received one new & very manageable hint on increasing the effectiveness of the products I use for oral hygiene.
And we appreciate you, Rebecca! Thank you so much for the kind words and for sharing your experience at our office. We're happy to hear that the tips/tricks are helping.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostion is awesome. And the whole team there is fantastic. Karen is a hygienist par none and Lisa is the heart and soul of that place. Appointments are always on time, Dr. B always explains everything and has a stellar bedside manner (despite having two under three at home - not sure when he sleeps), and insurance is filed efficiently (and issues quickly fixed). Seriously, I actually look forward to going to the dentist….
Thank you Michael! We think you are fantastic!
Fantastic experience: I am so impressed with this office! I had a hard time finding it and called to get some directions. They were kind and patient and assured me that it wouldn’t be a problem that I was a few minutes late. This was the most gentle dental care I’ve ever received. They took their time and weren’t in a rush. They were sensitive to any soreness and sincerely compassionate about the toothache that brought me in to begin with. They offered a blanket to keep me warm while they worked and made genuine conversation when they weren’t actively working on my teeth. I would highly recommend this dental office! Overall, incredible experience.
Thank you so much Kirsten! We love taking the time to get to know our patients. It was such a pleasure meeting you. Thank you for your kind words.
Fantastic experience: Really happy with my choice to switch to Matthew D Bostonian Family Dentistry. Very ethical dental practice where your comfort and care is a priority. All practitioners were thorough and skilled in their treatments. Dr Bostian explained his assessment and the treatment options well.
Thank you Lynn, we're very happy to have you!
Fantastic experience: Always a great, gentle and efficient visit. I am glad my family and I have such a wonderful dentist taking care of us.
Thank you Brian. We appreciate your trust and kind words.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian and his staff are very professional and thorough when it comes to patient care. Going to the dentist ranks pretty low on the list of things I want to do but this group makes each visit as pleasant as possible.
Thank you William! We're glad we can make the experience a little better!
Fantastic experience: Dr Bostian and his staff have my highest recommendation. He performed several extremely complex, difficult treatments. Another doc who saw the area beforehand wasn't sure whether it could even be done. Afterward, he said Bostian's work was amazing. The office is top-notch. Everyone is calm, professional, and really nice to work with. Recommended!
Thank you so much, Ethan. Your trust and kind words are priceless.
Fantastic experience: I was sharing, Dr. Bostian's website during a meeting, and I didn't see my review. So here it is again.... My amazing sleep apnea dentist, Dr. Daniela Vivaldi recommended Dr. Bostian before molding my mouth appliance device. The return call & appointment process was quick & explained throughly. The staff was very inviting and did their part flawlessly. I liked how Dr. Bostian took his time to explain what he saw during the exam and the pros and cons of all my options. Plus, he offered to contact other specialists. But the best thing was that he didn't "sell me the stars & moon." Instead, he saved me thousands of dollars & months of unessary pain. Oh, he had a great savings plan, too! Trust me, It's worth the hour drive!
Thank you for reposting this, Huong! We're flattered that you drive so far to see our great team. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian always takes the time to thoroughly explain any needed procedures., and he listens carefully to any concerns. Lisa is so courteous on the phone with appointments, and Karen has been my dental hygenist for years. They are a great team, and I definitely recommend them!
Thank you for the kind words about our wonderful team, Karin! We're very thankful to have great patients like you and always look forward to seeing you.
Fantastic experience: Our family loves Dr Bostian and his whole team. My mom can be very critical of how her dental work is done. She came to Dr Bostian with years of deferred treatment and Dr Bostian was able to gently work with her to correct all her problems. She appreciates his attention to detail and the care he shows to making sure she is comfortable. We highly recommend him.
Thank you for the thoughtful review and kind words! We appreciate all of you!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian is both a terrific dentist and a lovely person. The whole staff is so kind and helpful. They really go above and beyond: I had an old crown come out during lunch, and he managed to fit me in same day to have it re-cemented so I wouldn’t be uncomfortable. Highly recommend!
Thank you Clara! It was wonderful meeting you. We're glad we could get that crown back on.
Fantastic experience: Always such a pleasure to come to my appointment at Dr. Bostonians office. Everyone is so nice and so accommodating to all of my individual needs. They make the process of going to the dentist, one that is not the most fun, such an easy & dare I say enjoyable process. I would highly recommend trusting, Dr. Bostonian and his staff with your dental care.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Sarah! Lots of people feel the same way about visiting the dentist, so reviews like yours are really valuable and appreciated :)
Fantastic experience: I recently went to DDS Bostian at Family & Cosmetic Dentistry for the first time as we recently moved to the area and needed to establish a relationship with a local dentist. I had an exam and cleaning, the cleaning was very thorough and the hygienist took her time to make sure I was in good shape. DDS Bostian had a great chairside manner and was also very thorough in examining my current situation and addressed my concerns. He also provided insight into how I would progress with my current state. He was very informative and knowledgeable. I think we found our local dentist.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Robert! It means a lot to the entire team to read reviews like this. We are thankful that you found us.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian and his staff are great. The best dental care I have ever had. Professional, thoughtful and patient. I recommend them highly.

Thank you for your continued support, Laura! It's always a pleasure to see you and we look forward to next time.
Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience with Dr. Bostian and his team of professionals. I have severe anxiety and not for one moment did I feel anxious. The entire team is incredibly understanding to my fears and made me relax the entire visit. I highly recommend Dr. Bostian and he is amazing team! I’m so grateful that I finally found a great dental team I can trust. Thank you ALL for an amazing experience. You have a very happy patient.
Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful words, Wilda! We do have a great team and we're so happy that we made your day. You sure made ours with this review!

Thank you, Kk!
Fantastic experience: A very calm experience, great care and thorough. All the staff were friendly and professional
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian was very thorough in his exam making sure the health of my teeth, gums and bones were okay and talked about future treatment. He was very nice and wanted to know what I expected/wanted. They gave me a blanket that made me feel safe and cozy while I got my teeth cleaned. Everybody was super nice from the moment that I walked in the door until I left. I couldn’t ask for a more amazing experience thanks to Dr. Bostian and his wonderful staff.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Charles! It makes our day when we get such wonderful feedback!
Fantastic experience: This is definitely a 5-star doctor and dentistry practice. They care about their patients. Dr. Matt Bostain and his staff make you feel so comfortable and are accommodating to all your needs. Matt talked me through my procedure and Julie held my hand. I'm not going anywhere else. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind words, Sharon! Your health and comfort are our priorities and we always enjoy seeing you. Have a wonderful day.
Fantastic experience: Dr Bostian and staff are very professional and personable.
Thank you for the kind words, Thomas!
Fantastic experience: Great experience every time I went! Always very accommodating, especially when having to bring my small baby to each appointment. So kind and always had the best service!
Thank you for the kind words, Devin! We always love seeing both of you!
Fantastic experience: Excellent, friendly service. My teeth have never been happier.
Thank you, Michael. We love happy teeth!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian and his staff are great! Karen is easily the best dental hygienist in Chapel Hill, and Dr. Bostian is highly skilled and relaxed. Lisa at the front desk is super personable. Recently I had a crown replaced and I love the result - it was a breeze. My highest recommendation.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Daran. We have an all-star team and wonderful patients!
Fantastic experience: Spouse and I have been patients through 3 iterations of this practice and Dr. Bostian is a worthy successor to the Sockwells and Bill Lewis before him. He is caring, thorough and gentle and--along with Lisa at the desk and capable hygienist, Karen, offers a welcoming atmosphere with masking and air filters throughout the space demonstrating a consistent commitment to patient and staff safety. CC accepted, payment upfront but they file with your insurance so reimbursment for us has been prompt. Online scheduling, email and text communication provided.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional. Felt like he spent time and listened to my concerns.
Fantastic experience: Such an amazing dental group! Professional, friendly, the best!
Fantastic experience: Everyone on staff is warm, inviting, and professional. Dr Bostian is incredibly thorough in his work and explanations of needed care. Dr Bostian and Olivia are excellent in providing treatment in a gentle manner that doesn’t create anxiety, but promotes a feeling of calmness. Karen is an excellent hygienist, the best I’ve ever had. If dental issues/questions arise, there is a prompt response from this dental practice. I am incredibly thankful to be in their care. Dr Bostian has a cohesive confident team of health professionals to meet your dental needs.
Fantastic experience: The staff were all very thoughtful, and their collective niceness was comforting to someone who generally isn't a fan of doctors. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I’ve received excellent care from Dr Bostian and the staff, including an emergency appointment and crown replacement. Karen is the best hygienist.
Fantastic experience: I had an inlay come loose last Thursday afternoon. I called Dr. Bostian's office, and after being sure I was not in any pain, they were able to schedule me for Monday morning. He quickly repaired the inlay, no pain, and everything went smoothly! I highly recommend Dr. Bostian and his team.
Thank you Allan, we do have an amazing team!
Fantastic experience: Very positive experience, particularly given that I was given a same day urgent appointment. Dr. Matt, Olivia , and Lisa couldn’t have been any nicer welcoming me into their practice. It felt like gentle dentistry at its best. Being new to the area it is a relief to find such excellent dental care!
Fantastic experience: Always a great experience! My dental hygienist, Karen, is a wonder--so gentle yet thorough. Matt is wonderful, thoughtful, and professional. Love this practice!
Fantastic experience: The staff is very gentle , kind, and caring. They were also very helpful in helping me straighten out my insurance claim. I highly recommend Dr. Bostian's Dentistry.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian and his staff make trips to the dentist literally as painless as possible. Recently, I had a tooth that needed attention and Dr. Bostian made room in his schedule to see me quickly and install a crown. He is a wonderful dentist - skilled, personable, caring, and thorough. He explained each step in detail (with photos!) and he and his assistant Olivia made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. Karen is a fantastic hygienist and Lisa makes the clients feel like family. I always feel that I am in good hands with this practice. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Had a great first appointment with Dr Bostian today. He was very thoughtful and provided me with options for my treatment. It was an emergency visit and thanks to his skill, I left his office feeling comfortable. I will be returning.
Fantastic experience: As always, wonderful staff and service!
Thank you for the kind words, Scott. We appreciate you!

Thank you, Cheryl! Caring is easy when you love your patients.
Fantastic experience: As a new patient I was immediately impressed by the professional, patient centered attitude of this office. The care I received was excellent. Dr. Bostian had an unhurried manner I appreciated and took time to listen to me and to hear my concerns. This was a first. I would heartily recommend this office to anyone desiring the highest standards of care. I appreciated being listened to!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words, John! We love taking the time to get to know our patients. We believe that strong relationships lead to healthier patients.
Fantastic experience: Our whole family feels cared for with Dr. Bostian and his team! They went out of their way to make us comfortable, and are so friendly.
Thank you so much, Gwynnie! Having wonderful patients makes it easy to be friendly and caring.
Fantastic experience: I am not a fan of going to the dentist but my experience with Dr. Bostian and his staff has been wonderful and I feel my overall dental health needs, present and future, are in good hands.
Thank you for your trust, Tom. Many people share the same feeling, but we'll always do our very best to take care of our patients.
Fantastic experience: Dr Matthew Bostian is an Excellent Dentist !. I always leave the office feeling great , well taken care of. His exams are gentle but very thorough and he takes as much time as necessary to listen very carefully to my concerns . He also seems genuinely happy to just chat and or catch up on the latest in our personal lives. Basically, Dr Bostian is a super nice very friendly PROFESSIONAL dentist so If you are looking for a of good dentist , then i can honestly give him the highest rating possible of 5 well deserved stars. And best of all his support staff are all OUTSTANDING Fantastic People Too who deserve 10 stars as they have always taken great care of ME for many years long before Matthew took over the the practice from Dr's Sid & Marcella Sockwell. Nobody could top that husband & wife team ( now retired ) although Matthew is holding his on pretty good thus far. BTW: I drive 175 miles one way just to come to this practice in Chapel Hill, NC and although it's a long haul I believe excellent medical care, peace of mind, and a painless experience is worth the trip. Thank You!! Matthew , Karen, Lisa, Julie, Olivia and Olga. SMILES!!!! From Mike E in Indian Beach , NC
Whenever one of us is having a tough day, we come back and read this incredible review! We can't thank you enough -- both for your kind words, but for also sharing your smiles and joy with us. We always look forward to seeing you and sharing a laugh. Thank you Mike!!!
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist experience, top notch equipment, personnel, hygiene and overall feel.
Fantastic experience: Had a great initial appointment with Dr. Bostian! His team is super attentive and careful.
Thank you for your feedback, Jessica! We are committed to providing excellent patient care.
Fantastic experience: My daughter referred me to Dr. Bostian. I don’t like dental appointments, at all. So far, my visits to the office have been pleasant. One weekend, I had a crown that cracked. It was put in by another dentist, in another state. I called Dr. Bostian terrified that I would be in pain. He told me what to do, since I was not in pain. Monday AM, I got a call in the 8:00 hour to schedule an appointment for that day. I still don’t like going, but I have to. They’re very accommodating and I appreciate them all.
Thank you so much, Pam! We are very thankful for the confidence and trust you place in our team.
Fantastic experience: I have been with the practice since 2012 (though the retirement of three dentists). The hygienist, Karen has been on staff from the beginning of my time there and does a fantastic and thorough job. Dr. Bostian has been a great fit in taking over the reins from the Sockwells. He is knowledgeable and caring. I look forward to bringing my 2 year old daughter next year for her first ever visit, because I know they will do an excellent job with her.
Thank you for your kind words, Erin! We have a great team and equally great patients! We can't wait to meet your daughter.
Fantastic experience: Throughout the pandemic I have felt safe coming to Dr. Bostian’s office for semi-annual cleanings / preventative care and for a crown. He and his staff are wonderful.
Thank you for the wonderful compliment, Myra! Safety has always been a top priority for us, particularly over the past few years. Thank you for your trust and kind words.
Fantastic experience: The comfort and professionalism of visiting Bostian is unmeasurable!! Great group of people and I am thankful to have the experience!! Thank you Lisa, Matt, Olivia and Karen for taking care of all of my dental needs!!!
Thank you, Richard! We are committed to providing the best patient care possible. We appreciate your kind feedback.
Fantastic experience: Never thought I would actually look forward to go to the dentist! Not only is Dr. Bostian and staff knowledgeable, they make me so comfortable I actually take a nap when I am on the chair…seriously! I am very pleased with what I have gotten done so far and would definitely recommend.
Thank you very much, Priscylla! We look forward to seeing you too, and are happy to provide a good napping environment :)
Fantastic experience: Staff are always professional, interested in my health! (And keeping my original teeth!). They also ultrasound my nightguard of 30+ years. This practice is the best!
Thank you so much, Gwen! We're committed to providing the best patient care possible. Thank you for your trust and confidence.

Thank you Yul! We appreciate you.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful caring dental practice. Always make you comfortable and are careful and complete in their service.
Thank you so much, Brenda! We really care about our patients and always strive to provide excellent care.
Fantastic experience: The BEST dentist in NC. I was a dental assistant, now dental hygienist and out of all the offices I’ve been to, his work has been the best compared to all other dentists! He is a perfectionist.
Wow! Thanks for such a huge compliment, Milana! Being a perfectionist doesn't always equal perfect, but we promise to do our best. It's so fun to see you; we all hope you'll be back soon.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Bostian & team are extremely friendly, which instantly makes you feel comfortable. Their attention to detail is impeccable. Dr. Bostian fixed a chip on my front tooth and now I honestly can’t tell which tooth was chipped— it actually blew my mind when I saw it.
Thank you so much for sharing your kind review, Kristin! I'm happy you were pleased with the result...it's amazing how small changes can make such a big difference. We're thrilled to have you as part of our patient family and look forward to your next visit.
Fantastic experience: Good service, love evident. In Christ, Randall
Thank you for the kind words, Randall. We do love our patients and look forward to seeing you again next time.
Fantastic experience: I hate going to the dentist, I have a bit of a complex about it... that said... this place is a gem! Great atmosphere (music & esthetic) EVERYONE is sooo nice , nay sweet even! EVERYONE from the desk clerk, to the assistant, EVEN the Dentist (Dr.Bostian) were so welcoming and warm. They really heard me, real conversation, didn't talk down to me AND didn't talk over my head (a difficult balance), constantly were vigilant of my well-being, physically and emotionally. If you've been avoiding the chair; from cruelty you've been forced to endure... this place is for you! I walked out happy, Healthy, and satisfied with not only great care-service but a comprehension of what future steps i could take to maintain my health. These people deserve a chance! If you place your hope & good faith in these people I promise; you'll have a hard time finding better!!! May this practice grow and become the new industry standard!!!.
Fantastic experience: Dr Matt Bostian is very personable and professional. He clearly knows what he’s doing. although I miss Sid and Marcella, Matt was a good choice to replace them. I’m having a new mouth guard made ( I think it’s called something else now) and Matt has a new slick scanner that replaces making wax molds for the pattern. I sure hope it works. I would certainly recommend him if you’re looking for a new dentist.
Thank you for sharing your kind review, Cindy! I'm glad you got to experience the new scanner. We're committed to providing our patients with excellent care using state of the art technology.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dr. Bostian. He is very knowledgeable, professional, and personable. I am currently in the process of replacing veneers and could not be more pleased to have chosen Dr. Bostian and his wonderful team for my dental needs.
Thank you for the kind words, Lori. We're grateful that you put your trust in us, and are so happy that you're pleased with the final result! It's always such a pleasure to see you.
Fantastic experience: Excellent dentist and staff. Dr. Bostian goes out of his way to provide the best of care. He's thorough, thoughtful, and totally available to answer questions. Can't say enough positive things about this practice.
Thank you so much for your support, Ev! Our team loves what we do and we're happy that it shows.
Fantastic experience: My parents were visiting from out of town and had a dental emergency. A friend recommended Dr. Bostian. Dr. Bostian was kind enough to open his office on Sunday to take care of us. He did a wonderful job! We are very thankful.
Thank you for the kind words, Crista! It was very nice to meet all of you -- I was happy to help, and I hope that everyone is doing well.
Fantastic experience: Everyone at this office is professional, kind, polite, and extremely understanding. Karen, the hygienist, is FABULOUS. I am someone with great anxiety before and during a dental appointment but somehow Karen makes getting my teeth cleaned kind of fun. I know, who would have thought. Dr. Bostian is soft spoken, very thorough, and clear about one's dental health. He is extremely professional and clear when discussing my dental issues. He made it clear what needed to be taken care of and what we could keep an eye on. I appreciated his conservative approach.
Thank you so much, Rena! You really made our day with your kind and thoughtful review. Prioritizing our patients' health and comfort will always be an integral part of our treatment philosophy. We're so glad to have you as part of our dental family.
