★★★★★

Dr Christian and her staff are the Most patient, kind, caring & professional dental group I have ever used. Everyone here is absolutely the BEST. My mouth was Truly a mess. I had been turned away by dentists because the job to repair my mouth was too hard to fix. I had implants, bridges & more that were all screwed up and falling apart. Dr Christian figured a few different options to fix my teeth and after we discussed them. I followed 1 of her options & She fixed my mouth Perfectly. Thank you ALL for taking such Excellent care of me!!!

I have always HATE going to the dentist but not anymore. Village dental is AMAZING. all the staff are so welcoming and friendly, they made me feel at ease. Dr. Christian was amazing and was really gentle with me. Y’all i just had a root canal and had no pain from start to finish. I am terrified of needles and did not even feel a prick of the needle. I can go on and on. Definitely a awesome experience with some amazing people.

I am very scared of dentists. This lead me to a long time without going. The more I waited the more embarrassed I was to go, until one of my teeth, which had been cracked started hurting a lot. I had to find someone in a hurry and ended up going to D. Christian. I really think that my cracked tooth was very close to needing a root canal. D. Christian did a fantastic job fixing it, without one (so relieved) and she and her staff made me so comfortable, I did not procrastinate and came back quickly to get other things that needed doing  (cleaning, fix an old filling). Each time, I felt my dentist anxiety decreasing and now I go to the dentist happily. Dr. Christian, he associates and hygienist are all great and a pleasure to be around. The lady at the office/ front desk is beyond nice and patient and all the paper work/  insurance always goes without a glitch. I highly recommend them.

I had not been to my dentist in a while (out of fear). *1. I was treated as royalty (then again, I am the Queen Bee) *2. The experience and my cleaning was flawless. *3. The Village Dental Group staff is a dream team. *4. I schedule my next cleaning already, and my root canal (yes, root canal). My fear is not gone, but the staff care and genuine concern for my wellbeing, alleviated those fears. Thank you team!

Staff members are caring, professional and highly competent, making your visit comfortable and pleasant. The physical space is attractive and well designed for patient comfort. Top of the line equipment is used and the staff members are knowledgeable on the latest trends and improvements in dentistry. It’s also clear to me from conversations that the employees like working there. That’s a plus in my opinion. Now that the practice has reopened, Dr. Dawn Christian and the staff have implemented safety precautions that indicate the level of concern and care they hold for the patients. I’ve been a patient for many years and have had numerous procedures completed without any problems or issues.

From making the appointment to the cleaning and exam, it was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. The Receptionist worked out my insurance and made an appointment quickly. The Hygienist also had a great manner and did a thorough and painless cleaning. I went in for what I thought was a cavity and the Dr. actually informed me it was not one and had a solution for what the issue was. It was a great experience from start to finish. Can’t wait to go back in 6 months!

Dr Christian and her staff are par excellent. The facility is immaculate and modern. I almost cried when I learned I had to seek another Dentist because of the dental Plan I am insured with. Regardless of what other Dentist I am forced to use. I WILL ALWAYS RECOMMEND DR. CHRISTIAN AND VILLAGE DENTAL GROUP

Referred by a good friend after sharing my frustration with my dentists practice (acquired by a new Dentist who failed to provide the level of dentistry and patient care I’m used to). What a relief to experience Dr. Christian and her wonderful staff! In the time of Covid-19, I felt safe and had an enjoyable cleaning with Diane…. Dr. Christian was so personable and I’m looking forward to my next appointment!

My dental appointment on June 24, 2020 was with a very short wait time. I was pleased to see that there are effective procedures in place to assure a healthy experience when visiting the office. Everyone used masks and gloves and there was ample hand sanitizer in place. My experience was pleasant due to the professionalism exhibited by Ghislaine and of course, Dr. Christian. The overall visit was safe and satisfying and for a dental visit, almost fun.

I absolutely hated going to the Dentist, until my friend referred me to this office. The Staff is what make the place amazing. From the front office staff, especially Wendy, who greets you like she knew you forever to the dentist hygienist that makes you comfortable, the experience is awesome. I had the opportunity to experience Dr. Christian and Dr. Zhu, THEY BOTH ARE AMAZING!…Dr. Zhu even put Vaseline on my lips before starting, I really appreciated that. The entire experience is personable, like they been awaiting your arrival. I would recommend them to any and everyone.

How many people actually like the dentist? I had a GREAT experience from beginning to end!! The staff is pleasantly professional and made sure I was comfortable. Wendy greets you with a smile �. My cleaning was thorough and every aspect of what I need was explained to me. Even my children enjoyed their visit and are ready to come back. Thank you Dr. Christian and the Village Dental Group for providing excellent service with a smile.

I always have a very positive experience when I visit my dentist. Dr. Christian and her entire staff iare second to none with their warm and professional manner. I was very impressed while facing these challenging times of the coronavirus that Dr. Christian and her staff made sure that her patients were serviced in a safe and secure environment.

I was really nervous to visit a dentist after going far too long without an appointment. I noticed that lots of the reviews for Village Dental Group were from people who had shared the same sentiment, so I figured it would be a good place to go. I’m very glad I did! Ghislaine explained everything to me in great detail, which really eased my anxiety around the appointment and dental health in general. I was made to feel comfortable from the beginning to the end of my appointment. It was a great, easy experience, and I look forward to continuing my dental health journey with Dr. Christian and the team!

First let me say that I’m a big big baby when it comes to dental work, usually I go to a dentist and they never see me again because of the pain Ive been in, I saw dr Christian today at village dental group(south orange) it was the most comfortable visit I EVER experienced, No PAIN, NO DISCOMFORT so guess what? Now I will finally get my fillings, root canals and cleanings like I’m supposed to, and let’s not forget about the awesome staff! Very friendly and answer any questions you may have for them. A great dentist that I’m now happy to say is my dentist.

Dr. Christian is an amazing dentist. She is very skilled and knowledgeable and explains what she is doing and why she is doing it. No surprises. She makes herself available for questions. The best thing about her is that she remembers her patients. For example, she always remembers how stressed I am about going to the dentist and reminds me that she knows I am stressed and is going to make it comfortable for me.

I have been a patient here for about 7 years now and have consistently had an excellent experience. I have never experienced another medical office with such friendly, caring staff as well as excellent services. They are smart in using technology such as email and text to keep patients informed, send appointment information, and confirm appointments. They are doing a fantastic job with COVID precautions (they were excellent with cleanliness and PPE before this started anyway) and I had a great experience with my cleaning and dental exam today. I really appreciate Dr. Christian and her entire staff. Don’t hesitate to make an appointment!!

I made the decision to get some dental implants and as a result I do not regret the decision after Dr. Christian and staff worked to restore my smile. It was a complicated procedure but every step of it was explained to me so I knew what to expect. Dr. Christian expressed confidence that everything would turn out fine and it did. Looks great and bite is great. Life changing. I recommend you go to her for your dental care needs.

Dr. Christian is the perfect dentist for people who don’t like going to dentists! I always feel at ease and no longer cancel appointments when I am a little anxious. The office staff is really friendly. Highly recommended.
