Wow! Down to earth people, up to date knowledge and technology, accessible timing, reasonable pricing! I can't speak highly enough of my experience with each and every contact I've had here! First contact Vicky! Hygienist Amy! Dr Efird! Mary in billing! All other staff whose eyes i connected! Fantastic!

My daughter was in for a cleaning this morning. she is a type one diabetic and is 6 years old. I explained from the first phone call dropping her off was not an option. That we would require a private room. As we arrive I am made to feel like this is an annoyance. The hygienist did a very amateur job. I asked multiple times about doing sealants on her teeth.
We had an appointment at a different office that advised this should be done after cleaning her teeth 6 months ago.( we came here due to insurance coverage) Instead of doing this or even discussing it, again I was told they only do that in the open area and that it could be upsetting because they have to hold their mouth open for a certain period of time. so I said again, she can't be away from me due to monitoring her glucose levels especially in an uncomfortable situation (esp with people proven to not understand nor care about a potential life and death situation) again. nothing else said other than, "well she did good today" lol Medical staff need to be informed of situations like this, clearly you don't get it, but the day you have a diabetic child loose consciousness due to your inability to provide proper care maybe you will.
This place was a nightmare for us. Even taking her out to do xrays the "hygienist" didn't understand I needed to get her reading first. Totally unacceptable. I'm honestly concerned if they even covered her appropriately due to her devices being susceptible to damage of an X-ray machine. You know the $2,000 worth of diabetic maintenance devices she wears! Again.
Apparently not a concern to them. I mean, they didn't even put a bib on her to "prophy" her teeth. A device used to polish. But this is what the "hygienist" used as a cleaning tool. Lol I was literally in shock at what we experienced here today. Non educated staff. Not a sterile environment. Not professional. Not attentive to the patients needs as a type one.
We will not be returning. Dr. Yurko in waynesville is absolutely awesome! And I would rather pay out of pocket for proper care then to have my child undergo this again. Awful experience.

I came here as an emergency from out of town because a tooth fell out while on vacation. The receptionist fit me into their schedule at the last minute. They did an amazing job. I am very sensitive to dental nerve pain and the dentist and dental assistant made sure I was numbed up really well. They both are very professional and took the utmost care in deciding what to do and then doing it.
I had to come back for a second appointment to complete a crown. They fit both appointments in for me, and I am extremely grateful. I would switch to this dentist if I lived in Asheville!

Going to the dentist has never been a problem for me. I have had a lot of dental work done in the past at other offices and not one comes close to Carolina Mountain Dental. Starting from initial contact with front desk girls Vickie and Kathy and ending when you walk out, the whole experience is outstanding. Jessica has been my Hygienist since I found this practice four years ago.
She is unbelievably incredible. I have had several procedures done so I have also worked with Stephanie and Michelle and they are as wonderful. Last but not least is Dr. Efird. His work is impeccable and very precise. As others have said, he never encourages unnecessary procedures. I can't say enough good things about this entire team.

I worked with Jessica today for the first time. She did an impressive and thorough job with my dental needs, and in addition, she made me feel like a family member in the process. I am not usually one to write reviews of anyone or anything online. Nonetheless, I thought that the care I received was beyond expectations and that others might recognize the value of this dental practice from reading about my experience.

We have been going to Carolina Mountain dentistry for more than 10 years. Our hygienist Jessica is absolutely the best. I originally brought my children to a pediatric dentist and then switched and started bringing them here. Everyone is so kind and caring- from the front office staff, to the hygienist, to the dentists. The kids get excited to come see Jessica and think it is so much fun to go to the dentist!
One of the children had to have a procedure done and the staff did an excellent job ensuring that she was not traumatized by the experience. I would highly recommend them for your entire family's dental care.

Carolina Mountain Dental has been great to our family since moving here 6+ years ago. Jessica my hygienist and Dr. Efird have taken excellent care of our dental needs and always ask about family and friends we have discussed on previous visits. The staff are all professional and treat us as family rather than patients.

I have been a patient of Dr. Efird for 14 years. The entire staff at Carolina Mountain Dental is great and treats the patient like family. Jessica has been my hygienist from the start and she's the best! They have modern offices, operate on schedule, and keep up with the latest advances in dentistry. From basic check-ups, to crowns, to some involved cosmetic bridge work, Dr. Efird has always been thorough and done top quality work. I've never thought of going anywhere else, and I recommend them without hesitation.

Ive been coming for check-ups and cleaning for 5 years now and really appreciate the staff and quality of care here. Jessica is the best; thorough and gentle cleaning, supportive, friendly and genuinely cares about her patients. Always a pleasure to see; how many people say that about going to the dentist? Dr. Effird is a professional in every sense too. Thanks! I highly recommend.
