PATIENT REVIEWS

The team at Southern Dental Arts is by far the best in the area. I have recommended friends and coworkers who have thanked me and are very happy with the service. I never knew that going to a dentist could be so enjoyable and not scary until I started with them 6 years ago. It is a boutique office that isn’t commercialized and believes in making you comfortable.

Dr. Staehling and his staff were amazing! Everyone was very friendly and the entire experience was just wonderful. They really take the time to get to know you. The doctor is very thorough, an excellent listener, and he explains everything in detail. I like how the office is setup and their COVID-19 check-in procedure is super easy (literally a call/text away). They certainly live up to their 5-star rating on Google! I highly recommend their office. Oh and GEAUX TIGERS!!!!

I cannot recommend Dr. Staehling and his staff enough. From the beginning, it was easy to make an appointment and his staff was ultra friendly and cooperative in getting my dental records from another office. He looked at the records and took new x-rays and recommended a filling. It was easy to schedule and I was in an out quickly! Didn’t feel a thing and he did the work himself the entire time. He even smoothed out some of the recent dental work I had done that wasn’t as nice as he would have done. Additionally, he got my bite back to exactly how it felt before the work was done, AND it didn’t take him 20 minutes to do it. Awesome. I also appreciated the fact I wasn’t sharing Dr. Staehling’s time with several other patients while getting my filling done. The best part is the TV in each room. It takes your mind off of what’s going on in your mouth and makes it easier to relax. The whole office makes it a point to learn your name, which is really nice, and made me feel welcomed at a new office.

I felt comfortable almost immediately, which says a lot about this considering it’s the dentist! The staff are very welcoming and accommodating and the office is immaculate and comfortable. Dr. Staehling was thorough in his exam and went over the work I needed clearly and patiently. When I returned the second time to get work done, it was a much smoother process than I expected (HUGE filling in the back of my mouth) and he explained each step as he went along, something I really appreciated and have found rare in dentists. I have always had trouble finding the right dentist for me and I am very glad that I got lucky in finding this one!

Great people and great service. I have been going here for about two years and have always been very satisfied. I am in the process of getting a bridge put in and they have more than met my expectations. I also would highly recommend that you use their hygienist, the best I have ever had clean my teeth.

Absolutely a wonderful dentist and office staff! Lynn at the front desk was so polite, personal, and made you feel so comfortable. Dr. Staehling is kind, respectful, patient, caring….I could go on. My husband feared dentists, but loved this office! I could bring my young girls with me and Lynn would talk with them while I had my cleaning. I had to have a filling done and Dr. Staehling made me feel so comfortable and I did not feel any pain. We recently had to move out of state. I wish the whole office could have moved with us! They are truly one of kind!

So far, a great experience. Very friendly staff, I got seen immediately and taken care of quickly. I have to go back for two fillings, and I’m dreading it much less than I ever have before! Dr Staehling was understanding of my concerns regarding having unnecessary dental work, and he went over my xrays with me in detail so that I felt comfortable with his recommendations. If my opinion changes I’ll update, but I can’t imagine that will be the case. And tell them Erin sent you- they give referral discounts!

Love love LOVE Dr. Staehling. He is the best family dentist in the area! Our 6 year old just got filling and didn’t even know that she got injection. We were in and out in no time. Very professional and friendly staff. Lynn at the front desk is just wonderful. Appointments are always on time and in case of emergency they will always fit you in. Highly recommend!!!

My son, daughter, and I have been with Dr. Staehling and his amazing staff for 5 years and I can tell you this is the best dental practice we have ever had experience with. Not only are they competent and skilled at what they do but they are also so warm and personable. They truly care for their patients and are concerned for their total well being. I will continue referring them to my friends and family.

I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Staehling and his team at Southern Dentals Arts. After one bad experience years ago (in another state) I am very picky about my dentist and Southern Dental Arts does not disappoint. I have not had to wait to be seen past my appointment time, unlike many other dentists I’ve been to, the cleanings are quick and thorough, and Dr. Staehling is very friendly. I especially like the warm towel they give you to freshen up after your exam. The receptionist, Lynn, is one of the friendliest ladies and excellent at her job from my perspective. I also appreciate her use of text message to communicate re: appointments. Very convenient! I would recommend Dr. Staehling and Southern Dental Arts to anyone!

I just changed insurance so my old dentist wasn’t covered anymore. I found southern dental arts on my insurance website and looked them up online. They had 5 stars. I was impressed but a little hesitant since they only had about 20 reviews. I emailed them and they responded very promptly and politely letting me know the appointments that were available in the near future. They emailed me the documents I needed to fill out for my visit and I showed up with them filled out a couple minutes early. They had me sitting in the chair a minute or two BEFORE my appointment and ready to start. That is unheard of these days. They did a great job on my teeth. Ever single one of the staff that I interacted with were super nice. I was also very impressed with the technology they used. Oh last but not least, they will put whatever you want on TV directly over your face while your teeth are being cleaned. I will be back and I recommend you check them out.

I’ve only been a patient here for a little over a year (three total visits). I transferred after a negative experience somewhere else. In that time, every one of my cleanings was truly excellent (gentle, yet thorough), the dentist, hygienist and front desk woman were always very kind and easy to talk to. They took a fairly conservative approach to dental work, which I appreciated, as I felt my previous dentist was recommending work unnecessarily. The facility is nice, and they have tvs you can watch while they do your work, but it doesn’t feel like it is trying to be a spa or something else other than an excellent dental office. But what motivated me to come and make a review (which I will post in a few different places) was the fact that when I called to pay my husband’s most recent bill, the receptionist asked if she was correct in thinking I was hoping to hear news on a new job, which was accurate. The fact that she remembered a week after my husband visited and almost a month after I visited, really touched me. If we weren’t moving to Charlotte (for the new job) I would absolutely not be leaving this office.

Best dentist I’ve ever been to! The staff and Dr Staehling are amazing, always going above and beyond to make sure I feel comfortable and that all my questions are answered. Wait times are never more than 10 min (usually only about 2-3 min) and you get to watch TV on a screen above your head while they work on your teeth. I’m so glad to have found them and highly recommend Dr Staehling to anyone looking for a dentist!

Dr. Staehling and his staff are amazing and their service is next-to-none. Across three separate appointments, I’ve been made to feel welcome, appreciated, and well-taken-care-of. Everyone there is completely invested in the patient experience, and everything there–from the in-procedure TVs, to the clean, effective equipment, to the cozy, welcoming waiting area only amplifies that impression. There was a point in my life when I dreaded the thought of going to the dentist after years of bad experiences and high costs. Working with Southern Dental Arts has me looking forward to my next cleaning!

I went nearly five years without going to a dentist because of a bad experience with my last dentist. I suffer from Anxiety and panic attacks, but from the moment I walked in until I left the staff was incredible. They talked me through everything and went slow and gave me time to breathe/rest between steps. If you’re terrified of dentists, this is the place to go. I have been a patient now for a couple of years and I don’t have panic attacks there any more. That’s shows how amazing the staff and Dr. Staehling are here. Dr. Staehling explains each step as he is doing it and asks throughout the procedures how you’re doing. I actually don’t fear the dentist any more (at least not this one).

Going to the dentists is not an experience I typically enjoy. Ryan and the folks at Southern Dental Arts were easy to get to, had Coconut Water, whisked my right back, and had my out in thirty minutes. I viewed X-rays on an overhead screen minutes after having them taken and then that same screen broadcast the Olympics throughout the entire procedure. Giddy up. Couldn’t ask for more.

I’ve been going to Southern Dental Arts for the past year, and I wish I’d have found them sooner. I’m not a big fan of going to the dentist, but honestly, this place has calmed my nerves. (Having televisions to watch as you’re getting work done helps.) I’ve been referring friends to Dr. Staehling and encouraging them to give it a shot-and I hope they do. Lynn, the office manager, is awesome as well, and goes out of her way to help you with insurance and appointments. Can’t say enough good things. Give them a try.

I’ve been going to Southern Dental Arts for a few years, and Dr. Staehling has done a lot of work on my teeth, including multiple crowns. I recommend him highly. Whether it’s a routine check-up or you need crowns, you won’t be disappointed. Dr. Staehling has a very nice personality; you’ll always feel cared for and never intimidated (like some dentists make you feel). He is attentive to details and will make sure you’re satisfied with the shape/shade not only of your permanent crown but your temporary as well. I’m smiling more and more because I don’t need to worry about the state of my teeth now. Dr. Staehling, Jessica, Laticia are all incredibly kind, and it is easy to schedule your appointments and figure out your insurance details with Lynn.

I highly recommend this practice for all your dental needs. I was very nervous about any kind of dental procedure and the team here was kind, caring and professional. Jessica was amazing at explaining all the procedures as they were being completed and even though I had quite a bit of work done, she was exceptionally considerate and gentle. Lynn and Dr Staehling did my filling with such great care, that I barely noticed by the time they were done. I have been incredibly intimidated in the past by any dental procedure, but after three visits to this practice I can say that I am not any longer. I highly recommend this team for anyone, but especially for anyone with worries about dental procedures because they are absolutely great.

Impeccable experience! How many people can describe their dental visits with those words? I can. Dr. Staehling and his staff are true representations of Southern hospitality and exhibit the chair side manner that will make me a lifelong patient. Coming from someone who is highly afraid of dental work, I will no longer be able to claim that fear. Thank you so much.

I had a very pleasant first appointment with Dr. Staehling last week! The receptionist was very friendly and called me when there was a cancellation so I was able to get in earlier than I had expected. Both Dr. Staehling and the dental hygienist were very friendly and efficient. Dr. Staehling took the time to talk with me about my history and concerns and went through my digital x-rays in detail. No one made me feel bad about having not been to a dentist in a couple of years! I would highly recommend this practice!

I just had my first visit at Southern Dental Arts. And I was extremely impressed. Everybody was so kind, caring, and professional. Dr. Staehling, Lynn, and Letesea were all so wonderful. I felt very comfortable when I was there. And I’m really looking forward to seeing everybody during my next scheduled visit which is in a couple of weeks.

After several years of more dental work than I’d care to admit, I absolutely love this dentist office! Dr. Staehling and his staff are very personable and he does amazing work. I drive from rural Nash County just to have my dental care concerns addressed and to receive great customer service as well. My treatment plan was initially very extensive. At the very beginning Dr. Staehling took the time to meet with me and explain my personal treatment plan, answer my questions and address my concerns. I knew exactly what to expect each step of the way. Now my teeth look and feel great! I love how Ms. Lynn sends me a reminder text of upcoming appointments. I always look forward to seeing her warm smile every time I walk in the office. Thank you Dr. Staehling and thanks to your wonderful staff for my amazing smile, but most of all, thanks for exceeding all of my expectations for a dental office! J.P. Barnes Nash Country

Highly recommend Southern Dental Arts. They are some of the most sincere, gentle and nicest people. I never thought a dental experience could be positive, until I started going here 3 years ago. I’ve already sent friends and coworkers, all who feel the same way and will never go to another dentist. Thank you for making the experience the best it possibly can be!

I have to say not afraid of much except when drilling for a cavity starts. Just cant stand that noise. Southerner Dental Arts however made sure I was comfortable and they were patient with me as they frequently paused to asked how I was doing. They also made sure to talk to you through the process. Dr. Staehling is Awesome! has a Great team, modern technology and very knowledgeable. This is my last stop for oral care. I now look forward to my next visits as I am confident that I am in good hands. Definitely recommend them for any oral care needs.

I am new to the Raleigh area, and I went to Southern Dental Arts for the first time this morning. I cannot say enough good things about the experience. They have snacks and coffee in the immaculate waiting room, they really sat and talked with me for the initial consultation about my overall health and teeth concerns, they had the TV on whatever station I wanted to watch while having my work done, and they offered personalized recommendations for my brushing and lifestyle habits. I had a wonderful experience and am so happy I chose to come here.

I had an excellent experience for my routine cleaning at Southern Dental Arts! Staff (Lynn and Patrice) were warm and welcoming from the start. The waiting and examination rooms were tidy and professional. Dr. Staehling and my hygienist, Jessica were both incredibly kind and thorough. I’m glad to have found my dentist!

I highly recommend Southern Dental Arts, whether you are new to Raleigh, haven’t been to the dentist in a long time, or aren’t happy with your current dentist. Dr. Staehling, Lynn, and everyone I’ve worked with there have been wonderful. They make sure my teeth are in great condition, and they are also incredibly friendly and welcoming. They really make the whole experience great, from scheduling to cleaning to even fillings!

I had my first experience at Southern Dental Arts and it’s very likely that I will be a lifelong patient. From the moment I stepped in the door until the moment I left, I felt valued as a patient (and customer, let’s be honest). Staff broke down procedures in details, answering questions before beginning, and then reviewed pricing as I left. Great service, great dentist.

I normally don’t take the time to review places, but Dr.Staehling and his staff are so amazing and pleasant I had to let everyone know! They are always accommodating and helpful and you can tell that they genuinely care about their patients! I would recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much for taking great care of me.

It’s been about four years since I’ve been to a dentist and quite frankly I was impressed with Southern Dental Arts!! From the friendliest receptionist, educated dental radiologist, the thorough dentist himself, and the detail oriented dental hygienist. They seemed to work as a team and explain everything they were going to do. I’ve never walked into a dentist’s office and felt as though it was going to be a luxurious experience –but that’s exactly what it was! Tasteful office space, up-to-date dental technology, televisions in each exam room (to take away the awkwardness of not being able to talk when your mouth is open) down to the warm towelettes to wipe your face after your cleaning! At check out I was even provided estimates for future procedures and how much insurance would likely cover for my next visit. Overall best experience from any other dentist’s office I’ve been to. THE ONLY issue I have is with actually finding the place, because Southern Dental Arts is a suite inside an unmarked building, it is hard to find from the road. There is a sign but it is so small you will not be able to find it without driving right past it. Without a sign it is the best kept secret I was glad to find.

The team at Southern Dental Arts is by far the best in the area. I have recommended friends and coworkers who have thanked me and are very happy with the service. I never knew that going to a dentist could be so enjoyable and not scary until I started with them 6 years ago. It is a boutique office that isn’t commercialized and believes in making you comfortable.

Dr. Staehling is the best dentist I have ever been to. He recently did some work on my front teeth and the work he did is phenomenal. He can make teeth look more natural than any other dental work I have ever seen. I am amazed at how much work he puts into each and every tooth he works on. You can tell he really cares about his patients. I have been going to Southern Dental Arts for several years now, and I even moved my daughter from a specialty pediatric dentist to Dr. Staehling. He is better with kids than the specialty dentists from what I have seen. My daughter did not even realize she had received a shot because he is so gentle with his patients. If you need dental work, Southern Dental Arts is the place to go!
