Had such a great experience at Lifetime dental. They were able to get me in for a cleaning the same day I called and whenever I went in I ended up having three cavities ( two more then I knew about from going somewhere a year earlier) anyways, they were able to take care of my cavities while I was there and were sooo much cheaper then the dentist I went to prior. I will defiantly be back in 6 months :)-Thanks again y'all Amanda N.

I could not be happier with my experience with Lifetime Dental. The entire staff is so kind and supportive. Every person takes extra time to make you feel comfortable and make sure you receive the best care. I had all four of my wisdoms teeth pulled here. It was extremely quick and painless and recovery was a breeze. I will continue here for all my dental needs and am very thankful I ended up at this office.

The office staff is wonderful, clean, organized they have a cozy fireplace, that you do not think that you are in a dental office. Lauren the office manager was very helpful having all my paperwork ready when I got there, and check out was a breeze. They have a therapy dog named Ava who is sweet that you can pet and hold while waiting. Highly recommend this dentist you will feel that you are in a hotel with all the amenities they have. Thank you for your WONDERFUL service!!!

Excellent experience! Everything from check-in, to x-rays, to cleaning, and consult. Everyone was very friendly, professional, communicated well, and did a great job. Ava seemed a little nervous, but I'll just have to get to know her better.

Lifetime is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL facility! Everyone was professional and friendly throughout my entire experience. Lauren was so welcoming and helped me understand all of my insurance benefits. She also gave me several different options for treatment plans and took her time explaining each one. I would highly recommend Dr. Gudger and his team!

Had an absolutely flawless visit here at lifetime family dental, I like most don’t like visiting the dentist but everyone was so helpful and kind! I especially want to point out the hygienist that cleaned my teeth to extraordinary perfection, Gerry. He was so great and I trust him with all of my dental needs!!! 5 stars!

This office is so nice! I really felt like I was being taken care of with thoroughness throughout my entire appointment. From reception, to hygiene, and of course Dr. Gudger, the care and attention provided was top notch. I would without a doubt recommend this office to friends and family.

Came to Raleigh on a business trip and needed an emergency tooth extraction after a massive infection. The staff was wonderful, unbelievable in fact. Dentists make me nervous, but they made me feel at ease and calm. No pain at all. Highly recommend coming to Lifetime Family Dental!

Jerry is the hygienist and we all know that the hygienist is the most important person at the dentist!! He’s kind, sensitive and meticulous. The office is clean and punctual. Definitively the place to go.

First off, Lifetime is the only facility in the area that is open until 3 pm on a Friday afternoon!! They were honest and up front with me when I called that they had another patient at the time and weren't sure how soon they could see me. I was in major, major pain from a tooth that chipped and the pulp was exposed. I tried to see if another place was open near by and of course they werent!!! I decided to take my chances with them and sat maybe 20 minutes total ,once done with my paperwork, before I was called back to be seen!!! I was asked what brought me in, she took an xray, and even before I saw the dentist, Ashley(sp?)was able to tell me basically what was wrong and potentially what my options were. She was able to verify with doctor what the options were and with my insurance, was able to give me estimates for the 2 options.He got started on the work, and finished pretty quickly. I found everyone at the facility very kind and friendly!! From the front desk, to the doctor!! They were concerned about my pain, my comfort and the potential of any anxiety I might have!!! I felt comfortable in their care!!! And I can tell anyone, I come from bad experiences growing up and going to the dentist which could have made me fearful for life to go to the dentist!!! As of now and this visit, all I can do is give them my praise for their care for me during my visit, which lasted past their closing time and no one was rude or angry to me for that!!!I will see how things will be going forward at future visits, but for now, all I can do is say, Thank you Ashley and Dr. Gudger for allowing me to have a pain free, comfortable weekend !!!

I called this morning and needed an appt ASAP for pain. Two hours later I was in the office being seen. Dr. Gudger was very thorough and very reassuring. His dental assistant, Frankie, was also very helpful. I highly recommend this practice.

I have been to LFD several times and they have been extremely flexible in scheduling. Very clean facility with very nice amenities. My hygienist has always been Jerry. Jerry is an extremely friendly and knowledgeable young man. Jerry always explains what he is doing and why. Going the dentist is not my most favorite activity but Jerry keeps me comfortable and he is always kind and smiling. Dr. Gudger is a true professional and Jerry completes his team of excellent staff members. Highly recommended dental facility.

First time I came here and I was surprised at how excellent the service has been. I was taken care of right away and at the most professional level. Doctor Christopher is excellent, you can tell he has a lot of years of experience. Ashely and Rylee are also extremely caring and make sure you are doing ok and have everything you need at all times. I HIGHLY recommend this dentist to people of all ages and with different tooth issues. Very professional, clean and great service.

I had a wonderful experience at lifetime family dental. A man named Gerry was my dental hygienist and he made me feel really comfortable during the whole cleaning. I’m very afraid of the dentist so it was relieving to be around people that helped put me in a postitive head space and made the experience as enjoyable as possible.

Lisa Filip

Dr. G was great and did excellent work! The staff are incredible. Rylee and Ashley were down to earth but my favorite is Faye! Faye treated me not only like a patient but as a friend which made the experience better. I'm looking forward to going back .

I put off dental care. I have no excuse. I called the office to schedule an appointment because I was in pain. They were kind, professional, accomodating and understanding. Some people (me)are just uncomfortable (cowards) when it comes to visiting the dentist. My teeth are hypersensitive and it is never pleasant. They took my concerns seriously and respectfully and did not judge. They put together a plan and thoroughly explained my treatment and budget options. I have some work to be done, but am fully confident I have made the right choice of providers.

Today was my first day to consult about sedation on all I needed. The other dentist office tried to numb me and hit some nerves. I was nicely surprised by the waiting room. It is a very relaxing atmosphere with a large fish tank of colorful fish, fireplace and an area to get a water bottle or another beverage. Ashley gave me a tour of the place, which no other dentist has done. They go over things thoroughly and the dentist is great. He has one Best Dentist award 3 straight years in a row. I highly recommend them!

I came in not expecting what I got!! I had a lot of baggage with past experiences with other dentists and got a very DELIGHTFUL surprise while dealing with these folks. I couldn't be more pleased for the care I got and will get in the near future!! Thank you so much guys!! Ya'll are top notch!! I appreciate you ALL! Sherry Bell

I had extensive work done that was as pleasant a dental experience can possibly be. Dr. Gudger is awesome and Ashley, the dental assistant is the best! With a strong discomfort and distrust of dentists, I must saw, Dr. Gudger and the staff at Lifetime Family Dental made feel right at home .I finally found my dentist I am comfortable with and who I absolutely trust!

We love Lifetime Dentistry! This is the first time the kids have looked forward to going to the dentist! Between therapy dog Ava, the large TVs over each chair, the large aquarium and water fall in the lobby the kids barely know they have been to the dentist. For me, I love the super nice staff and the professional care they provide. We are so glad we found them!

I am a long time scaredy cat of the dentist. One of my close friends suggested this office due to the multiple ways to make patients comfortable. I expressed my anxiety of the dental office to my dental assistant and she immediately understood that I needed to see that a trip to the dentist can be pleasant. They handled my issue with care and intent to heal. Also, with multiple options! This with continue to be my dentist!

Pretty impressive place. Highly recommend to folks who are ‘nervous’ about their teeth care. I was terrified. But the doc and nurses made me feel quite at ease. I’m looking forward to continuing care with this awesome facility.

Upscale, beautiful facility with a huge aquarium in the lobby and a massaging chair in the dental room. Everyone was friendly and understanding of my precautions with dentistry. And, the biggest bonus is that they accept my insurance which is not accepted everywhere.

Amanda Buchanan

15:16 23 Aug 19

I’ve been to a lot of different dentist and had bad experiences, I was very nervous about getting my teeth worked on and wanted to use some type of sedation but after talking to the wonderful staff they reassured me that I would have a great experience and gave me plenty of comfort. Which made me decide to not go through with sedation and giving them a try. I am so pleased to say that I had a little to no discomfort at all! Another thing I loved about this office is it is very clean and the staff are so wonderful! I would strongly recommend anyone to come to this dentist office!

We drive almost two hours to get care from this office. They were so good with my daughters wisdom teeth and left her feeling very positive after many other bad dental experiences. Highly recommend and are now taking the rest of my family there. Its worth the drive for sure!

I have been scared to go to the dentist after having a really bad experience recently. I finally got the courage up after hearing such great things about Lifetime family dental. I was seen very quickly. I was amazed with the friendly staff and bedside manner of the dentist. I was very anxious and scared, everyone here has gone out of their way to make me feel very comfortable. I appreciate everything they have done for me. My whole family will be now be coming here. Thank you!!

My experience at this dentist office has been awesome. Never really liked the dentist office due to past experiences, but the moment I walked in it was a sense of relief. Alcadia was so helpful and helped me to find a reasonable payment plan for my extractions. Additionally, they have awesome features to help you feel comforted and safe with them. Definitely could see myself becoming a returning patient.

It’s been many years since I actually went to a dentist - fear can make you not do a lot of things! But when pain gets bad enough, you get mighty brave. All I can say is don’t be afraid of dental work anymore. Just give the team at Lifetime Family Dental a call and let them handle the rest. Trust me, they will make it easy.

Mitch Green

15:25 03 Jan 20

I had my first appointment today and it was fantastic! When I called last week to make an appointment it was right at closing so I left a message. Someone called me back the next day (on a Saturday). The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Gudger is amazing! I highly recommend this practice for children and adults!

Kelly Kitchens-Collins

14:47 14 Jan 20

First time coming to this office as I am new to the area. The office staff from the front desk, assistants, to Dr. G were incredibly kind and personable. As someone who is typically very nervous and anxious at the dentist, I was more than pleased with my experience here especially as a first time patient. My crown procedure was fast and 100% painless. Highly recommend to anyone who may have some hesitations about the dentist.

Cameron Graham

15:41 16 Jan 20

I came in this morning for an agonizing toothache. Ivonne was kind and very informative. Dr Chris was great. I was able to have the tooth immediately extracted. Everything could not have gone smoother. I have never been able to say that about a dentist experience before. I will be returning and referring!! TY!
