Patient Reviews – Inspire Dentistry of the Carolinas

I never thought I’d say this, but I actually fell asleep while Dr. A at Inspire Dentistry was working on my teeth. 😂 And no, I wasn’t sedated! That’s how gentle and skilled he is. He and his team made everything so easy and comfortable — hands down the most relaxed I’ve ever been at the dentist.

Inspire dentistry are all professional so I even sacrifice to drive far just to see my exceptional hygienist Tamara. She’s great, well experienced and she loves her job because after she’s done cleaning my teeth it is really really clean that my teeth sparkles. Also I have my wisdom tooth pulled and Dr Charles Añonuevo is very experienced with his profession that I did not even feel any pain while my tooth is already out. I highly, highly recommend this dentist to everyone, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Dr Charles and tamara for taking are of my dental needs 🙏💕

This is honestly the best dentist I have ever been to. I generally have severe anxiety when it comes to any dental work and today I had several cavities filled. The dentist and his team made this the best experience that I have ever had with a Dentist. I was laughing and felt completely comfortable and experienced no pain aside from some tenderness after the appointment on top of that, I was paying for my dental care out-of-pocket because I didn’t realize that I had dental insurance through my employer. I recently found out that I do have dental insurance, and they refilled all of my old claims and are providing me a refund for things that I paid for out-of-pocket. Working with them has been super easy and I feel very comfortable in their office. Highly recommend.

I visited the dentist yesterday after many years of avoiding it. For a long time, I relied on youth and didn’t give much thought to dental care. But as I’m getting older, I knew it was time to take this step and get ahead of any issues. So, when I found out I had cavities, I wasn’t surprised—I was ready for it and completely fine with the news. The staff member who took my X-rays and assisted with the prep work was wonderful—kind and professional. However, my experience took a turn when the dentist came in. At first, the introduction was fine, but as he started examining my cavities, his demeanor changed. He seemed almost disgusted by how deep some of them were, and the way he spoke made me feel like I was disappointing a parent. Sitting there, vulnerable, and fully aware that it had been a long time since my last visit, I felt judged. I came in to start 2025 on the right foot, making an effort to better myself. But when the dentist finished, he simply threw his gloves in the trash and walked out—no goodbye, no “thank you for coming in,” nothing. His bedside manner was shockingly dismissive. I mentioned my concerns to the assistant, who attributed his behavior to being busy. Maybe he was, but I saw him step outside at one point just to check if it was cold. It didn’t feel like a time issue—it felt like a lack of care. I don’t think I’ll be returning. I’m trying to make positive changes in my life, and I need support from healthcare professionals, not judgment or indifference.
