PATIENT REVIEWS

Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:

★★★★★

Seeing Dr Cockrell today!! What an amazing office. The team is friendly & efficient. Dr Cockrell is warm & friendly. He explains everything before he does it as well as when he is working on you & removes any anxiety & believe me I have plenty ( the worlds worst patient )! I have recommended Dr Cockrell to so many friends & relatives. Melanie manages the office & she can set up a payment plan if you need it I can’t say enough about this office. No on likes to go to the dentist but if you have to go this is the place to go.

★★★★★

I would give 10 stars if I could! Love, love, love Norterra Dental Group. They are top notch! The office is clean, organized and state of the art. My daughter had her wisdom teeth removed, it was seamless, organized and very easy. The staff was very professional and it was a great experience. The following day she had some recovery issues. When I called the office to ask questions the receptionist got us in to see a Doctor IMMEDIATELY. Doctor Todd Cockrell took the time out of his day to see her, examine her, and make sure everything was healing properly. He listened intently to my concerns, empathized with me and confirmed most of what she was experiencing was normal. He spent over 30 minutes with her. I am so impressed with the level of professionalism and care he gave us. Dr Todd Cockrell is outstanding! We HIGHLY recommended Norterra Dental Group! A+++++

★★★★★

I love Dr Cockrell and his staff! I trust him completely with my family’s dental care. He is kind, genuine, and only recommends treatment that is necessary. I never feel like we are getting pushed into care we do not need. The quality of work has been exceptional. He is never rushed and always takes the time to make sure all of our needs have been met. I would highly recommend Dr Cockrell. We have loved having him as our dentist.

★★★★★

I am a new patient at Norterra and I am extremely happy with the service.  Going to the dentist for me is never a good experience but the staff at Norterra make the experience as pleasant as possible.  Sonja the dental hygienist is extremely nice and makes you feel as comfortable as possible.  She does her job very well.  I am very impressed with the quality of her work.  Her assistant Brittany is very sweet and helpful.  I would recommend Norterra Dental Group and Orthodontics to anyone.  They are wonderful :).

★★★★★

Dr. Cockrell is of top notch workmanship and expertise. He has done a crown and fillings and his work is amazing. He is always very friendly with an upbeat personality. He has a way of putting the patient first and taking the time to care. My son also had fillings completed and was very happy with the results with no residual pain after procedures. His office staff is efficient and friendly with great customer service. I have recommended this office to many others. Thank you Dr. Cockrell and staff!

★★★★★

I’ve moved a ton and have had several dental hygienists through the years, and I have to say that Melinda is the best. Not only is Melinda extremely knowledgeable about oral health and prevention for both myself and my baby, but she makes me feel comfortable, and keeps me laughing and happy through the whole visit. She is also extremely diligent and detailed with my teeth cleanings so I feel sparkly and new each time I leave the Dr’s office. I’m very grateful to have found her!

★★★★★

I’m very surprised to read the extent of some of these reviews. My experience has been life changing in a very positive way as I had tremendous fear of dental procedures since being tortured as a kid getting drilled with no novacaine. Resulted in poor dental care and now receding gums. Yes, I’ve had the deep cleaning, but Norterra hasn’t been the only clinic ever to recommend it. Yes, I had gum surgery to add bone back and now my gums have substantially improved. I have gone from cleanings every 3 months for years and years to every 4 months now. Best of all, since starting at Norterra, for the first time in my adult life I can stand to have my teeth cleaned (no longer by hand only) and no happy gas. First time ever I have been able to get through cleanings without major pain. I highly recommend Norterra. They may not be the cheapest charges, but they are the best in my opinion and no hard sell!

★★★★★

Dr Cockrell and staff have been great over the past 6 years I have been a patient.  When I moved to town, I was referred to their office by a neighbor, because of their positive experience.  I have had everything done from simple cleanings to a root canal, filling and a crown done.  Simply put, I have referred several co-workers, who have had root canals done and have had a great experience.  Don’t take my word for it, stop into one of his offices and see for yourself!

★★★★★

I had an excellent experience!  Great office staff. Dr. Cockrell put all of my dental anxiety at ease. For decades I hated my smile. Dr. Cockrell gave me a new smile. My teeth are beautiful. Someone the other day complimented on how beautiful my teeth were and asked what whitener I use.  The experience was so great from beginning to end. I am no longer embarrassed to smile. My dental anxiety is a thing of the past. I now go there for all of my dental cleanings. Every visit is always quick. I never wait more than a few minutes to be seen

★★★★★

Prior to finding Dr Cockrell, I thought I’d just always have to live with dental pain. I had advanced periodontal disease, several crowns that had open margins, not to mention lots of SILVER in my mouth. It was awful! But over the past 9 years, Dr Cockrell has treated my problems, one at a time, as my budget allowed. I now have an ALL WHITE smile and have been pain free for years! My husband, 4 kids and I are patients for life!

★★★★★

The whole team at Norterra did a great job to ensure I had a positive experience at the office.  The front desk greeted me with a smile.  I appreciated Katie, the assistant, explaining the appointment process.  Melinda did an excellent job cleaning my teeth and Dr. Cockrell sets you at ease as he completes his exam.  The office is state-of-the-art.  This was my first experience with the laser therapy and I really enjoyed it.  I will definitely return!

★★★★★

I started my treatment with this orthodontist group and dentistry in December 2014. It was not a good time in my life and somehow they sensed this. They were spectacular. The office got me in within two days of contacting them. I had a consult by both the dentist and the orthodontist on the same day. They started dental care immediately and scheduled me for an oral surgery consult (different Doctor for this). I had the oral surgery ( wisdom teeth removal) and was back for full braces within two weeks. I was told I would have the braces between 14 and 18 months. I was told up front about my long term care during and after the braces. Prior to the braces fills were done due to my having brushed so hard over the years I had removed gum tissue leaving gaps between gums and teeth. Large gaps. This helped immediately in terms of the look of my smile ( I’ll admit I didn’t smile much because I was not happy with the way my smile looked) and the hot / cold sensitivity issues I had because of the lack of gum coverage over several teeth. Over the course of my treatment every time I walked into the office I was greeted immediately…..most times by name. I like that very much as it shows the staff really does care and I was not just an appointment or an account to them. The receptionists and assistants (both dental and ortho) were familiar with where I was in the treatment plan and would take the time to stop and visit for a second to check my progress or comment on my developing “NEW” smile and how good it looked. Several times over the past year, my job has required that I reschedule an appointment due to an emergency or come in later than scheduled or expected. Every time they have accommodated me either the same day or within the same week even if it meant double booking me. I’ve rarely waited in the waiting room for more than 15 minutes before I was taken back and seen by the doctor. The day I got my braces off (2 months earlier than I expected) they scheduled a large block if time to be able to do the removal, put in permanent retainers and regular Invisalign type retainers all in one visit so I didn’t need to come back again or worry about a lapse in ortho coverage on my teeth. This is my third time in braces ( had them when I was a teenager) and I was worried about having to do it again down the road. This was addressed from the beginning and taken care of at the end. Due to my treatment ending earlier than expected I was not prepared to make the final payment all in full the day I got the braces off. They worked with me to split the payments up into more manageable payments ( I did end up just paying it that day but the fact that they did that initially and were willing to work with me financially was great!!). I can’t say enough good things about my experience, treatment, care, the receptionists, the medical staff or the doctors. I’ve already referred another patient (several months ago) and they immediately had him seen and on his way with a treatment plan much the same as my own. I would recommend this office again, and have, repeatedly and will continue to do so for both dental and orthodontic care! I love my new smile!!!

★★★★★

I am a very skeptical person when it comes to the dentist, and I have been to plenty of them! My first thought when walking into this location, was wow, this is the cleanest place I’ve been to. I felt instant relief. Then I was welcomed by the amazing girls up at the front, sat down for all of two seconds before the lady came to get me. It was a quick cleaning, and man did my teeth feel awesome after they were done! They scheduled my next appointment, and I was on my way! I think me and my teeth have found a new home lady and gents, I will definitely be recommending this place to my friends and family!

★★★★★

Two years of dental work on us (age 50’s couple) and college age children.  We have had a wide range of service: cleaning, crowns, root canals, extractions, wisdom teeth removal and now a partial plate.  Continue to be pleased with their professional service, pleasant staff and costs.  They explain treatment options fully and the  costs are more than reasonable.  If a problem occurs, they see you quickly.  Highly recommend this dental group.

★★★★★

I was in the office last week and I had a great experience. I was looking for a dentist that is closer to where I live and I definitely lucked out. The have a beautiful office with a friendly staff. Liana at the front desk was particularly nice; I was impressed with her knowledge on how to deal with my insurance provider. I know that she will make sure to keep my dental costs down.

★★★★★

At 54 years old, I have been to a few dentists. Today was my first visit to Norterra Dental and I cannot say enough nice things about them. From the initial greeting as I walked in the door to the moment I left, everyone was amazing. They listened to me as to why I made a change and took that into consideration when determining the work the we needed to do. This visit was painless….I have never had a painless visit, EVER!!! Two caps, reasonable cost, no pain, great bedside manner…I am sold.

★★★★★

Great experience every time I visit this office – even during a dental emergency I felt put at ease and well taken care of! Dr. Cockrell hires a highly qualified and friendly staff. He always takes the time needed in the exam and you can tell he is thoroughly invested in your well being. I absolutely recommend Dr. Cockrell and his staff.

★★★★★

(…) Have been going there for 3 years and they have all been wonderful. Front desk staff are pleasant and helpful. Assistants and Dental Hygienist have been fabulous. No one has made me do anything I have not wanted or needed. I even like the dentists!! Both of the ones I have met have beeen genuine and informative. My son and I both go there and we highly recommend it.

★★★★★

Great employees, clean office, and fantastic dentistry. I have been to several different dental offices/dentists throughout my life and have finally found my teeth a new care giver. Dr. Todd Cockrell is my dentist and by far the most capable clinician (fantastic work with little to no pain and that is including shots). He is honest, kind and passionate about his work while being very caring. He not only listens when I have concerns about my teeth, he also does his best to empathize. My teeth get fixed upon the completion of my visit without unnecessary returns to the office. Crowns can be made while waiting in the office. One other item, you should see the way he treats his staff. He cares for them and loves them as though they were family. This is a great tell of a good business owner and a kind human being. I am a business owner that works mainly with Dentists (well over 200) across the United States. I chose Dr. Todd Cockrell. He simply is the best.

★★★★★

I have been with Dr. Cockrell since this office opened, and before that when he was at another office.  I would never go anywhere else.  Dr. Cockrell and his team display a very caring attitude about every patient (other family members go there as well).  They know I have left work and need to get back after the appointment, so they always get me in on time or even a couple of minutes early.  I especially like that the hygienist sets up my next appointment before I leave the examination room and gives me a card in case I forget to put it in my calendar.  All I have to do is get up and walk out when I’m done.

★★★★★

Our family of 6 has been treated by Dr Cockrell for over nine years. We have moved a lot and been under the care of at least a dozen dentists in previous years. Dr Cockrell is BY FAR the best dentist we’ve ever had! He is very knowledgeable, ethical and has excellent assistants and Hygienists. And even though we have moved (again) having this level of dentistry is worth he travel!

★★★★★

A little background information about my dental experience. Prior to coming here, I hadn’t been to the dentist in several years due to a horrible past experience with a different dentist. Needless to say I was super scared to get back in the Dental chair. I heard great thing about Dr. Cockrell from friends who are patients of his so, I decided to make an appointment. I am so glad I did! The office staff made me feel so welcomed and comfortable. Dr. Cockrell was very patient and gentle and explained everything to me. Fast forward to today, he has been my dentist for the last ten years and each time I go in it’s like I’m family with the whole staff. They are all so incredible and always make me feel special. I’m so glad I trusted the referral of my friends and gave them a chance. Dr. Cockrell thank you for always taking such great care of my entire family. You’re the best!!

★★★★★

I just had my semi-annual cleaning and exam appointment recently at this office. They got me right in at my appointment time as usual, which is important to me because I’m taking time off from work. The entire team from Dr. Cockrell, the office manager Melanie and all the assistants and hygienists have always treated me like gold. I have been coming here since they opened and wouldn’t go anywhere else. Every time I hear a friend or someone at work talking about needing a dentist or wanting to change dentists, I always tell them about Norterra Dental and Dr. Cockrell. I’m lucky that I don’t usually need much dental work. However, my wife has had several crowns done at this office, all without any problems or pain.

I am, like many people, uncomfortable in a dentist’s chair…not much scares me (even when it should) but the dental visit is pretty traumatic I’d already been to see Dr. Cockrell on two other occasions so I was well under way to forming a great opinion of him and his ENTIRE staff; that impression was solidified in concrete after today’s visit. Never, ever, ever Google any upcoming procedures you’re planning, be they medical, dental, psychiatric, etc. and I am SO glad I did not. I had no idea what “prep the teeth” meant or I would’ve bailed. Skipping the worst of the details, let me just say there’s at least one needle, lots of drilling and it’s a pretty lengthy process. Picture me this: my mouth’s partially propped open, and NUMB, but I’m responsible for keeping it off his fingers, the nitrous is trying to do its job but my pulse is picking up speed the second I climb in the chair, and then that damn drill starts up I haven’t been to the dentist in quite some time so I’d forgotten just how nerve-racking that drill can be. Dr. Cockrell and his assistant, Yolie, were freaking phenomenal, working together to keep things chill and casual so I didn’t climb out of my skin. I have never been as impressed with any type of medical staff as I was with these two today. The whole office rocks but today will give me a warm fuzzy for a long time!!! Thanks, y’all, from the bottom of my heart!

I have been a patient at Norterra Dental Group for 4 years. My daughter has been a patient of their orthodontist for 2. I have always been welcomed with smiles, professionalism, and care. The front office staff is especially welcoming and knowledgeable. I needed help figuring out my dental plan benefits, and Liana Salazar, their benefits coordinator, explained everything to me in a way that I could understand. Sometimes insurance benefits and limitations are so detailed and confusing! She was very patient and thorough. In the past, when I have needed a crown or veneer, it took several weeks. I would get temporary crowns that fell out often, and would need to make several trips to the dentist. At Norterra Dental I got my crown the same day! I walked out of the office and it was all done; no multiple trips or hassle. If I ever need a crown or veneer in the future, I won’t get it anywhere else. My daughter had a great experience with her braces. It seems like such a long and grueling process. Yet the dental staff is so warm, humorous, and friendly that my daughter never dreaded going. Not only that, but my daughter got her braces off almost a year early! I highly recommend Norterra Dental group for both your dental and orthodontic needs. You’ll never want to go anywhere else again.

★★★★★

You would have never guessed by looking at me but I had such an intense phobia of dentist that I had not visited a dental office in nearly 15 YEARS. I knew I had a huge host of dental issues but they became so overwhelming I simply pretended it wasn’t happening, even suffering thru many days of debilitating pain. Eventually my husband forced me to keep my first appointment with Norterra Dental ( I canceled 3 consecutive times prior). My fears were a reality… I was in really bad shape. That being said Dr. Cockrell, Dr. Lam, Mark, Erica, Alex and the rest of the staff never made me feel ashamed and they have always treated me with gentle kindness, outstanding work and consummate professionalism, even when at times I needed someone to hold my hand during a procedure. They have been there for me thru multiple extractions, extensive cavities, sinus lifts, root canals, crowns and multiple implants. Essentially a full dental restoration. Its been a long road but they have done extraordinary work and supported me the whole way… I am finally able to smile with confidence.

★★★★★

I have been going to Norterra Dental Group for over a year now.  Appointments are fast, on time and everybody is always nice.  I have been seen and treated by both Dr. Cockrell and Dr. Ewell.  Both Doctors are very courteous, funny, professional, and efficient. The staff of assistants and technologist are also great and make the process of going to the dentist quite enjoyable.

★★★★★

The friendly, professional staff at Norterra make you feel like one of the family. They go the extra mile to make your experience pleasant. The payment arranger,dentists, dental assistants and dental hygienists each take the time to explain what the treatments are and work with you to get the work complete. The office staff is always friendly and helpful. I’ve been very impressed with the dental work and service I’ve received from Norterra over the last 3 years, and I would recommend them to anyone. They are all great people.

★★★★★

I first went to Norterra Dental with an emergency.  I had been to another Dentist in the area and was totally frustrated with his demeanor.  I didn’t have high hopes for Norterra but I went in anyway.  Once there, I found that they far exceeded any expectations that I had.  Dr. Cockrell has an excellent way with patients.  I don’t like going to the dentist and he put me at ease immediately.  He put up with my over the top case of nerves, went slowly and took the time to make sure that I was comfortable.  I have been going to Norterra Dental for over a year now and am very happy with the staff there and the treatment that I have received.
