Piedmont Dentistry

Piedmont Dentistry is Dr. Williams’ practice on University East Drive with a 4.9 rating across nearly 1,000 reviews, notable for how it handles anxious patients. The dentist has picked up the phone herself before a first appointment to reassure someone frightened of coming in.

It works in dental emergencies quickly, including children after accidents, and allows a parent to stay in the room throughout, which matters more than it sounds when a child is frightened and a parent has not yet seen the damage. Staff are described as warm from the first phone call, and the University City location has easy parking. One patient has reported being asked to settle a prior balance at the chair immediately before a procedure, so clear any outstanding account in advance. Closed Monday, with a short Friday.
