Friendly Dental Group of West Gastonia

Friendly Dental Group of West Gastonia lives up to its name—this place makes dental visits feel like visiting friends. My family and I have been patients for 4 years, and Dr. Patel’s team treats us like part of their community. The office is bright and welcoming, with a cozy waiting area that eases nerves. Dr.

Patel is gentle with my 7-year-old, using simple explanations to make cleanings stress-free, and her work on my husband’s crown was flawless. The hygienists are thorough and kind, always asking about our kids’ school projects. They offer flexible hours that fit our busy schedule, handle insurance smoothly, and even send holiday cards. It’s dental care with a personal touch—we leave smiling, every single time.

The staff is welcoming and friendly. Each member I encountered was very polite and professional clearly stated each step of my visit and explained my upcoming procedure efficiently ready to address any concerns I had. I look forward to a long relationship with this practice.

I had 22 teeth pulled and never felt a thing. I had them pulled for various reasons. When I say I never felt a thing I can't stress that enough. Extremely super nice staff from the front to the back. Melissa and Edith and all the girls at the desk make you feel like you matter. Dante is funny, professional and makes you feel important. I was disappointed at first because I was having abscess after abscess and went in there and the dentist who is there all the time doesn't pull teeth, he only does cleaning and things like that. However after they told me to start calling a surgeon to have all the teeth pulled, they called me back 2 days later and asked if I could come in the next day which was a Saturday. Their old surgeon was going to be there and wanted to take a look at my mouth.

He told me he wanted to pull them but understood if I wasn't comfortable about having that many pulled and me not being put to sleep? I said no, I just wanted them out. He said you do realize that your entire mouth will be numb and it will require loads of shots to numb it. I didn't care,I just wanted them out. I had been in pain for so long with swollen jaws and face. Also numbness and infection. I couldn't take it anymore. So they got to work (Dr Mahmoud) I believe that's his name got to work on me and couldn't believe how well I was doing. I never ever felt one thing. Not one twinge of pain or sting or anything.

He does this wiggle technique to do the shots and it's amazing how well it works. They kept my mind off of everything that was going on. If I ever have more issues I will be going back to them. Thank you guys and thanks ladies at the desk. 🌹🌹 I will post some pictures later. I feel like I need to go back in for an adjustment. But that's all ok. ♥️♥️♥️♥️

Melissa and Edith were so awesome! They made sure I knew what to expect from start to finish and even called to check on me after my procedure was done. The entire office was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr Duvall did a wonderful job on my teeth and I will be returning and will bring my children in next time as well!!! Best dentist I’ve seen in a long time.
