We love Carolina Braces! The staff are consistently responsive and courteous. Dr. Marsh has treated both of my children and we have been very pleased. Dr. Marsh is a perfect example of an Orthodontist being knowledgeable, thorough and caring. He takes time to listen and is able to clearly explain options and answer questions. Carolina Braces is an excellent choice for Orthodontics!

The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Each member always had a positive attitude and I always felt good whenever i walked into Carolina braces for my appointment. Dr Kent and Dr Marsh are both top of the line Orthodontists and always kept the environment loose. From Day 1, Carolina Braces had a plan for me to correct and straighten my teeth and I am extremely satisfied and grateful for the hard work and encouragement they provided.

Dr. Marsh and his staff are AMAZING! I heard about Carolina Braces through Pleasant Grove Elementary, but heard about Dr. Marsh through 2 of his patients (my friends). They communicated everything to me in a very detailed manner and was very knowledgeable. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Marsh and Carolina Braces! Glad I chose this place!

I absolutely LOVE this place, these people are amazing fr. Very patient kind and caring. They call me out the blue to check on me and make sure I'm not having any trouble. Very understanding when I'm running late or have to reschedule. My smile is improving BEAUTIFULLY and it's only been 4 months. I never wait long I'm always in and out.

I have been going to Dr. Kent's office for 12 plus years. All 3 of my children have been patients of Dr. Kent. My youngest son just got his last week with Dr. Marsh and Wyatt thought he was the best! All the staff have always given the best customer service too. I would highly recommend this practice every time!

Dr. Foley, Dr. Z, and Dr. Kent were awesome during my Invisalign treatment. Dr. Foley was my primary orthodontist during my treatment over the years, Dr. Z at the end of my treatment, and Dr. Kent on several occasions. I would highly recommend them. Some of the staff I've encountered over the years were great to work with, while some of the newer ladies could use some improvement. Overall I had a great experience and my smile is perfect thanks to these gentlemen!

Going on 2 years Carolina has been my second home. They have done such a good Job, however I got over braces about two months left in treatment. but wanted them so bad as a child. What I am trying to say is they have very good staff. It's bitter sweet especially since today I meet Desiree for the first time and she is so down to earth, loves what she does, and I can tell she is a team player.
I was feeling a little down before coming today cause of other reasons, but just her and how nice she was and our conversation made my day better and If I would have meet her earlier I would have requested her every time. I think she needs a Raise just joking but please acknowledge her on knowing how to be very professional and just giving a warm embrace to clients. She rock! Also thank everyone for All smiles and service provided. I will refer Carolina braces to anyone.

Today has been a day truly to remember. I'm 52 years of age, and wanted braces all my life but parent's couldn't afford them. So today is even special to me today is my mother's heavenly birthday and I was able to acheive this life long blessing. Carolina Braces is the best! The Staff, Dr. Z and Amy did an awesome job they made me feel loved that made me feel at home we laugh and talk and they got the job done I wouldn't go any other place other than Carolina braces they are truly the home of the Carolina braces. And they are also affordable.

While this my first time at this location, I have been to the North Raleigh office for retainers 3 years ago. I live in Brier Creek now so I was delighted to see that there was a location here as well. The office is just as nice and features a beautiful fish tank. I submitted an appointment request online on a Friday afternoon and received a phone call immediately. Scheduling the appointment was easy.
Everyone I encountered was helpful and nice. Parking was easy as it's a medical office building. The office was clean. I can't speak to their orthodontic care as I did NOT get my braces here. I have now had 2 sets of Essix (clear trays) retainers made here. I completed Invisalign in 2014 in Pennsylvania. I paid the same $300 for retainers here in 2016.
This was the most affordable place in the area when I called around. I didn't bother calling around this time. It was a pleasant surprise to see this location--5 minutes from home. The Essix retainers are made in house and only took a couple days.

I'm just over halfway through my braces journey and have really enjoyed working with Dr. Foley and the Brier Creek staff. Scheduling has been easy, the front desk is always friendly, and Dr. Foley has done a fantastic job with my teeth. I'm already so happy with the progress and I can't wait to see my new smile!

Love Dr. Kent and his staff! They are personable and easy to approach when questions arised. I highly recommend Carolina braces for all of your orthodontic needs. They have flexible payment plans and accept most insurances. The thing I enjoyed the most was the ease of scheduling appointments and their flexibility to work with you if a change was needed. My son has had a pleasurable experience with Dr. Kent and associates.

It took me a while to decide to finally get braces. On my second consult, I decided to take the plunge and I have not regretted it. Dr. Kent, Dr. Foley and their staff are always helpful and polite. I appreciate their scheduling system that sends text reminders to my phone and the birthday greetings. The only thing that prevented me from giving 5 stars was that I was not able to sign into my account to make extra payments. I was told when I called that option was no longer available and made a payment over the phone. It would have been great if I was able to manage my account online.

Carolina Braces- Brier Creek has the best staff ever! The front office staff are so nice and personable. The dental techs are awesome as well. Dr. Kent is one of the best doctors ever in life that Ive had the experience of seeing. Prices are very reasonable and payment plans are accepted. If ever you need orthodontic services, I definitley would recommend Carolina Braces for your professional services.

I LOVE THIS PRACTICE! Everyone is always so nice and pleasant. They go a long way to make everyone, even the youngest patients, feel at ease. I really look forward to seeing Teresa. her personality and disposition makes it feel like you are there to see old friends instead of being there to have your teeth worked on. I've seen her treat everyone she works with this way, although I like to think I'm special! She's great and one of the reasons I chose to get my invisalign trays with this practice. Teresa is awesome and always makes me smile when my daughter and I go in for our appointments!

Dr. Kent is by far the best orthodontist in the triangle. My daughter had two sets of braces with another orthodontist in the area and I could not have been more dissatisfied so we chose Carolina Braces when it was time for my son to get braces. Not only did he only have to wear them less than two years, but he always received the best care. Dr. Kent gives every patient his personal cell number in case of issues or concerns. His staff is so helpful and always very friendly. I would not go anywhere else for orthodontic care!

My daughter has been a patient at Kent & Associates since March 2013 and we could not be more pleased with the level of professionalism by the entire staff. Dr. Kent and Dr. Dan have a bedside manner that is beyond compare and they treat every patient (including my daughter) like they're the most important patient in the office. Both doctors take such good care of my daughter and genuinely care about her orthodontic progress.
Their dental assistants are so polite and knowledgeable and the office staff is helpful and friendly. The office is always clean and organized, making appointments is a breeze, and we have been treated with great care and professionalism for the past almost 2 years. Very happy here & my picky daughter absolutely loves the entire staff!

This practice was voted "Best Orthodontist" by the readers of Carolina Parent magazine so I had to check them out. The office is efficient, they use social media and technology to make the patient experience better, and they are on-time and very attentive. I decided to undergo Invisalign treatment with Dr. Kent --and so far, so good.
