Dr Bethea is an excellent dentist. He focuses on minimizing pain to you and your wallet. He doesn't try to price up you or have work done that's not necessary at that time. He and his entire staff members are courteous and empathetic. I love the professional work they provide and the comfortable atmosphere.

I had a wonderful first time visit for me and my daughter (6) with Dr Bethea. From the front desk with Lativia ** to Amanda - I felt welcomed and comfortable! Amanda was very patient and gentle with my daughter as it was her visit. Dr Bethea was very calming, kind and informative of what we needed and why. We have had several recommendations for this office and I see why- definitely a top notch experience. Very appreciate of the services we received and looking forward to our next appointment!

This Dentistry is indeed for the community! Very caring for its patients, from the office staff to all of the dentist assistants! Here I don’t feel like just another customer!! The last Dentist that i left was because of that reason. Although I had been apart of that office for years, when the initial dentist retired the total atmosphere changed! But here I feel so welcomed and cared about at Bethea's Dentistry.
Dr Bethea is very thorough and explains every procedure to you! I love that trait! I am so glad to be apart of this dentistry!

The facility is nice and clean! The staff was
VERY friendly! I was extremely nervous about this visit. They were understanding and reassuring. I commuted from another town to come to this location after not receiving adequate care in the town where I live. The crown that was worked on has been worked on 3 times prior to my visit. This was the first time a temp crown was put in near accurately without having to do extra work to fit it. It feels good to be at a clinic where I feel like I will be completely cared for. I’m glad this dental office is included in Community Care for Veterans!

I had the absolute best experience at this dental office. From the moment I walked in, I felt seen, heard, and genuinely cared for. Every member of the team was warm, inviting, and incredibly knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to make sure I understood each step of the process, which immediately put me at ease.What stood out most to me was how intentional they were in helping to remove the stigma that often surrounds dental care. Instead of judgment, I was met with compassion, patience, and encouragement. That alone helped restore my dental confidence and gave me the desire to keep coming back for regular care. It’s rare to find a place where professionalism and warmth blend so seamlessly, but this office does it beautifully. I left not only with a healthier smile, but also with a sense of trust and peace about returning for future visits. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

I had an amazing experience. This was my first time visiting Dr. Bethea. The first thing that I noticed when I walked through the door was how clean the office was and it smelled amazing. Next, was how friendly and pleasant the receptionist, Tatiana was. Then, I was almost immediately called to the back for my cleaning. So there was not a long wait. I was met by the wonderful hygienist, Amanda. Amanda was so gentle. She did a very thorough job cleaning my teeth. Then, Dr. Bethea was so kind. He was diligent in educating me on my exam results and next steps. Then, the young lady that checked me out was very friendly as well. So from the time I walked in to the time I walked out, I felt like I was important. I am so glad that I decided to become a patient at Bethea Family Dentistry. Kudos to Dr. Bethea and his staff for superb customer service.

I can't recommend Dr. Bethea and his staff enough! After some not-so-great experiences with other dentists in the area, I was hesitant to try again. However, Dr. Bethea truly stands out. He takes the time to listen to his patients and addresses all concerns with care and professionalism. The entire staff is friendly and welcoming, making every visit a positive one. If you're looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about your well-being and comfort, look no further! Thank you, Dr. Bethea, for restoring my faith in dental care!

For me to make an appointment was an important first step for overcoming my dental trauma. It took awhile for me to get an appointment, but it was well worth the wait. The front desk staff was very welcoming. The hygienist was great. She was very patient with me. Dr. Bethea was AWESOME! I don't have enough words to explain his knowledge, demeanor and patience with me. I 100% recommend Bethea Family Dentistry!
