PATIENT REVIEWS

Until yesterday I was an anti – dentite ! I have never gone to the dentist for any procedure with out being in a great deal of pain due to my TMJ . Most dentists don’t care as long as they get paid but your pain afterward is not their concern! Dr Vance made it a totally different! His office is set up for comfort and he is prepared to go the extra mile to keep you from hurting!! I not only recommend him I have made appointments with him for my family and friends! The assistants rock just as much!! If you need a dental procedure this is the place to go

I am so happy that I searched the internet over and over for Oral sedation that’s how scared I am going to the dentist. So I had two visits with Dr. Vance my first visit was for consultation and to be honest guys I would give this office a 100 stars ⭐️ if I could, Dr Vance explained every single detail of both teeth that I needed to be extracted ( never happened in all my years of going to the dentist). My second visit was on September 1, 2020 the actual day I did the extraction I used Oral sedation and I believe the price is very affordable compare to other places in town. I don’t remember how long it took for Dr. Vance and his assistant (she was very nice and welcoming) to get done but I know I was pain free going home and even up until today it’s been 5 days pain free. I will be going back to this office for my regular cleaning and checkups I hated going before this, but Dr. Vance made my experience a mind changer, I even recommended my mom who will be making her appointment after the holidays and I am taking my eldest son there too I have been telling all my friends and family who hate going to the dentist about my experience here. Again thanks Dr. Vance and your team for making my visit a mind changer.

I had a great first experience at AdVance Dental today! Being new to the area, I wasn’t sure where to start for my dental cleanings. However, I’m very happy with my choice as the staff were very friendly and welcoming! My dental hygienist, Wendy, was especially kind and patient with me in answering my questions about my dental health which I really appreciated. Wendy and Dr. Vance even pointed out a few things like some wear on my teeth from grinding my teeth which I wasn’t even aware of and past dentists never mentioned! They both gave me helpful advice on how to take care of my teeth moving forward after my appointment and I will definitely be coming back to them for any dental follow-up!

Engineer turned dentist, Dr. Vance is amazing. He has a state of the art facility, caring staff, and a gentle chair-side manner. He has great hours – after 5 and one Saturday a month and can get a person in short notice. He has done everything from cleanings to repairing a root canal on me in the 8 months I’ve lived in the area so I speak from experience.

It’s always a pleasant feeling when the previous reviews line up with the service received in person. It was my first time at Dr. Vance’s office & they were amazing. My dental hygienist, Debbie was the best part of my visit. She made me feel very comfortable and explained everything very carefully. She gave great information and answered all my questions. The absolute best! Dr. Vance was very professional and knowledgeable. Their office was very beautifully decorated and clean. I definitely enjoyed my visit. Can’t wait to return!

I have been visiting Dr. Vance’s dental office for about a year now for two cleanings, a crown, and a night guard. The office staff are very friendly and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. Dr. Vance, himself, is very thorough and professional in his practice. I have been incredibly pleased with both the dental care that I have received and his very competitive pricing. With my crown, I had some complications (like destroying my temporary a couple times). Dr. Vance and his staff were very quick to respond to my emails and calls, and they worked me into their schedule to get my temporaries fixed the same day that I reached out. Moreover, Dr. Vance himself even called to follow up on one of my procedures. That kind of patient care is hard to come by anywhere. If you are new to the area or looking for a new dentist, I would recommend giving AdVance Dental a shot!

I have been using AdVance Dental for a couple of years now, since my long time dentist retired. I tried one in between but I am so glad I found this practice. Dr Vance and his staff are excellent. I would not hesitate to refer them to any of my friends or family. Last April, just as I was about to leave for Israel, Dr Vance tried in vain to save a tooth that I had been neglecting for years. He ended up staying late one evening extracting it for me when I couldn’t get in to see my oral surgeon. This helped save me from a miserable time in the Holy Land. I really appreciated that. More recently he replaced two very old fillings that another dentist told me would have to be crowned. They look great and were considerably less costly than crowns! I still don’t love coming to the dentist but it isn’t as bad when you know you can trust the one you have chosen for your care.

Dr. Vance was awesome!! He was quick to diagnose and fix a problem I had been having with a crown for the past eight years in less than two minutes. He didn’t rush through the appointment and took his time. Best of all he didn’t hurt me! Awesome guy! Great practice! I would recommend him to anyone! Loved the quality of dental services I received at AdVance Dental, P.C.

I came to Dr. Vance about a year ago with a mouthful of cavities… and about two weeks left before my dental insurance was going to lapse. I hadn’t darkened the doorstep of a dentist in several years, and it showed. Over several marathon sessions, he completely fixed up “my janky teeth,” as I called them, before my coverage was terminated, and not once did he flinch, scold me, or try to refer me to another dentist. As a result, my teeth have never been healthier. I brush. I floss. I rinse. I look forward to my cleanings. I smile a lot more now. Visiting Dr.Vance’s office is like going to a medical doctor’s office, except he is more thorough than some doctors I have visited. He went over my maintenance medications, prior medical diagnoses, and took my blood pressure before every procedure. He never rushes his patients, and he takes time to listen to their concerns. Dr. Vance is also a stand-up guy. A few weeks after receiving my mouth guard, my little dachshund decided it would be a good idea to destroy it. I was nearly sick with the thought of paying for a new guard, but Dr. Vance worked his magic and I got a new mouth guard without having to pay the entire cost for a new one. I seriously cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Vance and his wonderful sidekicks, Spring and Nancy. They truly love what they do, and it shows. Would I recommend this dentist? A million times yes.

Awesome dentist and staff. Warm, friendly, and I always love going to the dentist! Yeah, how many people you know like going to the dentist? Well, I do! Anyway, easy to make an appointment and I like how they incorporate technology to save on paperwork therefore helping to save the environment. A++++++++++++

Dr. Vance is far above and beyond the best dentist I have ever visited. Professional, steady handed, excellent quality of work, and there is no doubt he only has his patients health in mind. A no nonsense aproch to correcting dental issues is one of many reasons myself and my entire extended family exclusively use Dr Vance’s office for all of our dental care.

The office was clean and the assistant and hygienist were very friendly. Dr. M. Vance was professional and was very informative toward the treatment I needed. He was very thorough and was attentive to my needs and concerns. I had a crown done and finished. The crown feels great and my next visit is a recare with the hygienist whom is very thorough and painless. Worth the trip! Love this office!!

A genuinely great experience at AdVance Dental. The dentist, Dr.Vance, runs a very nice, well equipped modern office that is comfortable and accommodating. Most importantly, the skill of the staff and the dentist was very high, so there was basically no pain. I’ve run the gauntlet of dental procedures (bridges, root canals, etc.) and I can honestly say, the dentist here was wonderfully careful and skilled in avoiding any pain. Since physical discomfort is usually the part we all hate most about going to the dentist, I felt I had to write a review about how painless it was there. All around a great experience, which is rare for going to the dentist!!

I love the dentist, I always have. I’m a total weirdo. But TRUST ME when I say that AdVance Dental is the absolute best dental experience I’ve ever had. Located in a medical suite building (Building #1) at St. Vincent’s, the parking is the most stressful part of the experience but, have no fear, they comp you for the parking cost immediately when checking-in. The check-in process is easy and personable. They are a high tech office so all patient documentation is digital (which I ADORE) and even if you didn’t use their online form for your history, you can use a computer of theirs to do it upon arrival. The second person that I met after the receptionist was Dr. Vance who greeted me personally and talked with me for a solid 10 minutes prior to me even being in the dental chair. The dental hygienist, Deb, also greeted me before I was in the examination room and we started a really nice conversation that persisted through the whole visit. After understanding my history, dental worries/goals, etc, I got a thorough X-Ray + cleaning from Deb. Again, their office is all digital so the X-ray was digital (no film) and was projected on a screen in the room. The cleaning was awesome and Deb perfectly balanced thorough cleaning with gentle-hands. I’m usually a little sore post-cleanings in the crevices of my mouth (from someone pulling my mouth wider) and at some gum lines (from all the sharp instruments)… not this visit! After my cleaning, Deb was even kind enough to walk me through the whole X-ray and help me interpret it too… cool! Dr. Vance offered the same when he came back in and spent time listening and responding to both vain and health concerns that I had. His chair side demeanor is seriously one of the best I’ve ever experienced in a doctor…  I never felt rushed, misunderstood or brushed-off. He made sure to address each and every one of my concerns and offered workable solutions and advice. I left with an appointment for a cleaning in six-months and a smile on my face! My insurance (Southland Dental) covered my visit in full but this office also has a cool program of in-office insurance. The gist is that you pay a set amount (~$250/year) and get two cleanings/xrays + some price breaks on additional work if you need it… please seek the website if you are interested in this as I am quoting from memory when I saw it, briefly. I think it’s a really cool service and may help those who don’t have insurance budget for oral health… which is super important for overall wellbeing!

I absolutely LOVE AdVance Dental. I have been a patient there for over 3 years. Their office is very clean and has state of the art equipment. Dr Vance is extremely professional and has a very gentle touch. You will never feel any pain, I promise. His staff is also the best I’ve ever witnessed…. very friendly and professional.

I have had several dentists throughout my life (my teeth are dreadful), and Dr. Vance is by far the most caring, educated, and amusing doctors I’ve had the pleasure of being a patient of. The staff is hilarious and awesome, and I didn’t want to walk away after my appointment was over. If you want employees that treat you like family, AdVance Dental is where you want to go.

Looking for a dentist? Look NO further! Absolutely AMAZING office! Always professional, yet they treat you like an old friend. You’re more than just another patient here. The best medical office/staff I’ve ever encountered. They’re all knowledgeable, and don’t mind answering any questions you may have. They care here!

Dr. Vance is an awesome dentist. Super knowledgable and friendly. He has a great staff and is located right off Greensprings in Homewood so he’s easy to get to. Had my first ever crown and he made the process simple and sweet. Definitely going back and appreciate the good service. :)). ��

Have never in my 35 years experienced the level wonderful, genuine bed manner that I did with Dr. Vance. I have (had) a regular dentist but needed somewhere close to work so I could go on my lunch break for a root canal…I found Advance Dental and called to make an appointment. The lady Darlene was so kind and got scheduled me an appointment for the next week. He called me from his cell one evening before my appointment to see exactly what I was coming in for and develop a game plan for my visit. That blew me away! The day of my visit, I met the 2 precious ladies that work with him, Darlene and I cannot remember the other sweet ladies name. Then I met Dr. Vance. He was so down to earth and made sure I understood everything that was going on. He was super kind and professional. I told them by the end of the visit, that Advance was now going to be my regular dentist!!! The next day, Dr. Vance texted me to see how I was feeling!!!!!!!!!! See…dynamic bed side manner. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you guys! -Amy W

I have been coming here for a couple of years now and I wouldn’t change them for anything. My experiences at this office have been the best I’ve had in any dentist’s office. The staff is always lively and Dr. Vance is really accessible. I’ve had my share of work done and I must say that everything they have worked on has been AMAZING.

I have been using AdVance Dental for a couple of years now, since my long time dentist retired. I tried one in between but I am so glad I found this practice. Dr Vance and his staff are excellent. I would not hesitate to refer them to any of my friends or family. Last April, just as I was about to leave for Israel, Dr Vance tried in vain to save a tooth that I had been neglecting for years.
