What a great experience! Shouts out to the great staff at Family Dental Center of Bear, New Castle! Special Highlights to the receptionist (though, i didn't get her name) Kayla, Barbara and Dr Ben for making my visit very pleasant. I am looking forward to my next appointment

Lloyd Aaron Bunkley

Bear

I needed a repair on my dentures and I dropped them off. Not only did they do the repair, but they tightened up the entire frame. They fit like brand new. They went above and beyond my expectations to solve my problem. One of the best Dentist I’ve ever had.

Bear

Everyone was so nice and made me feel very comfortable even though I was totally embarrassed about the way my teeth looked. The front desk lady patiently explained to me cost and payment options she answered all my questions. I can’t wait to get started on my new smile.
