Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this dentist, she really takes the time to explain everything and time to listen to any concerns.
Fantastic experience: Everyone in this office is so professional and friendly. I love that the doctor is so reassuring. The staff is so nice and deserves more than just 5 stars!!!
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Doctor Nelatoor and her team were friendly, gentle and thorough. I’m happy to recommend them to anyone looking for an honest and positive dental provider.
Fantastic experience: I would high recommend Expressions Family Dental and her staff. They were friendly, professional and made you feel relaxed. They were tentative to my dental care needs.
Fantastic experience: The staff and Dr were very nice and informative. Answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything. The office was extremely clean, staff is great.
Fantastic experience: Visited Expressions Family Dental for the 2nd time. The staff were very kind and helpful. Dede was my hygienist. She reviewed my teeth and provided a thorough cleaning. Dr. Nelatoor was friendly and talked to me about the wear and tear of my bite. She plans to discuss options with me in the spring. She is knowledgeable and trustworthy. Overall, great first office visit.
Fantastic experience: I am happily amazed at your ability and willingness to do it all, including a bridge on a front tooth when many dentists now pass patients back and forth between specialists. I am embarrassed by my hyper sensitivity to pain, even when it is just expecting pain, but you deftly move ahead and get the job done! Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience at Expressions Family Dental! Dr. Nelatoor was extremely professional and knowledgeable. Her assistant, Libby, was also amazing — very friendly, attentive, and helpful. The whole staff created a welcoming atmosphere, and everything was explained clearly from start to finish. You can tell they truly care about their patients and providing quality care. I highly recommend Expressions Family Dental to anyone looking for a great dental office!
Negative experience: I usually don’t write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my experience. I haven’t received any treatment yet, so I can’t comment on the doctor or her work, but I was planning to have a root canal done here. Their website indicated they accept Cigna insurance, so I decided to call and confirm. Unfortunately, my experience with the receptionist was extremely disappointing. From the moment she answered the phone until I hung up, she was just plain rude. She sounded angry and unpleasant throughout the conversation. I asked her general questions, questions I’ve asked at other dental offices, and I kept a professional tone, but she responded as if I were wasting her time. Expressions Dental, you lost a potential patient before even becoming one. That was the worst interaction I’ve ever had, and it left me feeling really upset.
Fantastic experience: Had to change dentist due to my insurance change. What could’ve been a disaster was a blessing in the sky. Great customer service, very friendly staff, and Dr. Suganya Nelatoor was excellent. She spent the time talking to me and explaining different options. You can tell she care and your not just another set of teeth in her chair.
Fantastic experience: I'm a new patient with Expressions Dental and my first visit was a wonderful experience. Staff members were friendly, empathetic, professional and answered my questions. I am happy to share my great experience and service I received.

Fantastic experience: As a new patient, I found the exam very thorough and virtually painless. Dr. Nelatoor has a terrific bed-side manner and explains everything to you clearly before she begins. The office staff is amazing, from making appointments, to checking you in, to helping manage your insurance claim, everyone is top-notch. I would highly recommend Dr. Nelatoor's practice to anyone seeking a dentist in the Waxhaw area.
Fantastic experience: I needed an extraction, was able to make an appointment as a new patient rather quickly. I went in and was having issues with my blood pressure, we talked through the issues and decided it was better to get my BP down before having the procedure. She worked with me to get me in the right place to perform the extraction. Once I was ready, she took about 5 minutes and the broken tooth was out. Didn’t feel anything. I don’t like going to the doctor or dentist but I’ll have no problem going here or sending my family. Great dentist!
Fantastic experience: New patient who called in the morning with a problem and was able to get an appointment the same day. I received a diagnosis of my issue and a referral for Periodontal evaluation. Overall I was extremely satisfied with my visit. Am now a Patient.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Sukanya was wonderful and handled my toothache very professionally. She first prescribed antibiotics to ensure the infection subsided and then performed the tooth extraction the following week. The entire experience was excellent. Dr. Sukanya and the support staff took great care of me and made the process comfortable and stress-free. Although I don’t remember the support staff member’s name, she was truly great, very kind, helpful, and easy to interact with. Highly recommended!

They also find ways to help save money while brining quality to their care. They care exceptionally for their patients. She even sent us a gift when we had our baby. Definitely recommend bringing your entire family to them.

Fantastic experience: Doctor and staff at Expression Dental were fantastic. Not only doing a very thorough exam and finding problems my previous dentists missed but also putting up with a grouchy, honorary old man. Many thanks for your patience and knowledge.
Fantastic experience: I took a nap before my 4:00 appointment because I was tired from the two other ones earlier in the day and my alarm never went off. They called me at 4:15 to ask how far I was and in the process they woke me up. They still let me come in and got my teeth cleaned even though I got there at 4:35 instead of rescheduling me. It really meant a lot to me and again I apologize for being late. They really did not have to clean my teeth it was very nice of them.
Fantastic experience: Expressions Family dental is the best practice in Waxhaw. I finally found a practice with a dentist that really cares about my oral health and the staff are all friendly and inviting!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service every time! Everyone is always so welcoming! Dr N is amazing :)
Fantastic experience: Just really enjoy how honest and friendly the staff is. On my first visit, I asked so many questions and each was answered. I am terrified of getting shots in the mouth though I'll let a nurse stab me anywhere anytime. They are the absolute best at making me feel more comfortable that I'm even laughing afterwards. I really appreciate the doctor and team she has and I like going to the dentist! Only this one though, I'm extremely picky haha.
Positive experience: Staff was extremely professional and customer friendly. They respected my concerns and made a concerted effort to address my concerns which made me extremely comfortable. The whole staff extremely knowledgeable and professional Dr. absolutely the best. Extremely happy with my visit.

Fantastic experience: I never thought I would look forward to going to the dentist. Since I started coming to Expressions that has changed. I am always warmly welcomed by Sarah and Nicole’s smiling faces at the front desk, as well as Bob Ross on the tv (always a nice touch). Dede never fails to get my teeth squeaky clean while keeping me comfortable. Dr. Nelatoor is the heart of the office. She shares her passion with her patients, and always makes sure to address my concerns in a way that is easy to understand. She always leaves me smiling after the visit just from her charismatic conversation. I recommend Expressions family dental as highly as I can!

You are thorough, honest, and so very kind! Thank you so much!! Oh… AND your awesome staff, I so appreciate your getting me in and how sweet each of you were to me. Dentists are never an easy place to go for me, but knowing that you are on top of my unique situation and made those dredded X-rays painless… just wow!

Fantastic experience: Excellent experienced doctor who listens, understand and shares best suggestions to make right decisions. The staff are amazing. My family and I were incredibly impressed with the entire experience at this clinic.
Fantastic experience: I was experiencing intense pain in the recent past and felt I needed a second opinion. From the first call to inquire about scheduling availability to the first visit, Dr. Nelatoor and staff are one of those who take the time to patiently hear your story and discuss a treatment plan that works for you. I felt at ease discussing difficult life experiences which had affected my dental journey and did not feel judged or rushed. My questions and concerns were carefully examined and responded to as if they were important questions. I appreciated the transparent heads up I received about out of pocket amount I would be responsible for, in advance to the appointment, so that I can make an informed decision. Dr. Nelatoor was very easy to talk to and I felt heard. I received a trustworthy referral and a seamless transition to endodontic care.

Fantastic experience: This place is the best!! The front desk staff, Sarah and Nichole, are the perfect mix of professionalism & kindness. They made me feel like I was being welcomed into a home rather than a dentist office. Deedee took over my care from there and she was just as awesome! She explained everything so clearly and was very easy to talk to. She made a normally stressful situation for me very easy. It makes sense that such a great dentist like Dr. Nelatoor would have the wonderful staff she does...they're a lot like her!! From the moment I arrived until the moment I left I was consistently treated like a person, rather than just a patient. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this dental practice!!
Fantastic experience: Great first visit, took their time to check everything. Also moved my appointment earlier than planned to accommodate my request.

Fantastic experience: Had a great visit. The doctor was very kind and put me at ease.

I called and Nicole immediately answered, was able to get me in for my first visit within just a couple days, and the initial check up and cleaning with Dede was probably the best I’ve ever had.
