Dr. Kent and the rest of the staff are gentle, caring, and compassionate. They handle my nerves, my daughter's sensitive gums, & my son's cavity-prone teeth much better than I could expect! Pain free and stress free visits mean a lot to us! The front desk staff is very friendly, & my youngest enjoys the toy area. I had to get a procedure done recently, & happened to look over at my electronic chart and saw "She is nervous. Please allow extra time." Everything went perfectly with no pain! They do not use mercury fillings, & they offer fluoride free (as well as traditional) oral hygiene products. This practice is great for any dentistry, including those seeking a more holistic approach, children, and nervous patients! ~Kristen Richardson, MSEd.read more

This was a cleaning and exam visit, and the hygienist who was doing the cleaning was very good at it. Also, one of my bridges fell out while on vacation, and Dr. Matthew Kent said the work the dentist in London did was really good and there was no need for a new bridge. Go to these dentists and their staff. Good people.read more

Best dentist I have ever been to in all my years. My entire family loves them, even the littlest of kids. None of them "fear" going as is often the case. I love that they utilize a more natural approach, knowing the dangers of mercury fillings and fluoride and not requiring them.read more

First time there today it was nice. Quiet. The staff are friendly. Dr. Kevin Leong was amazing and honest. My kids was also seen to for their cleaning. I can hear the hygienist telling them next door what she was going to do next. I really appreciate her effort towards them. Very happy. 👍totally recommend.read more

Very personable dentists and staff. Dr. Dean Kent is awesome--meaning knowledgable, skillful, kind, considerate and trustworthy. That is hard to find in a dentist these days. Also, I love the fact that this is a mercury free dental office, and I am thankful for the option to remove my amalgam fillings one day and replace it with a less toxic option. I had my wisdom tooth removed at the office and it went really smoothly. I felt cared for and would recommend this office to everyone looking for a great option for dental care.read more

They were able to schedule me in asap for a emergency visit. I was in serious pain and at 33 weeks pregnant. They took it very seriously, and was so considerate. I have been to other practices and none of them compare to this one. The staff is friendly and welcomes you with a smile, they were quick to handle my situation and get ahold of my doctor's for approval. The only downside is they don't accept my type of insurance, but I will gladly pay out of pocket to get this great service. I highly recommend this practice!read more

I was looking for a holistic doctor and I am so happy that I found Dr. Mattew Kent. I went to him for a second opinion for both me and my daughter after we were both misdiagnosed from another dentist and was extremely happy with him. I love that he has a more natural approach and does not just push treatment to get money for it. Another dentist wanted to do 1 filling, 2 crowns and put 2 spacers on my daughter's teeth. He laughted at me when I told him that I want to treat my daughters teeth naturally by changing her diet and adding supplements ( was following a protocol based on the book Cure tooth decay naturally). I did not feel comfortable adding that much metal in my daughter's mouth and told him I do not want any treatment. Three months after following that protocol I we went for a second opinion with Dr. Kent. He told me that she does not need any filling, crowns or spacers and to keep doing what we were doing. I don't know if the protocol was working or if the other dentist just didn't care and was just pushing treatment, or BOTH, but I am very happy that Dr. Kent agrees with me and does not look at me like I am a crazy mom wanting to help my daughter more naturally and avoid unnecessary treatments.After going to three different dentists I can say that I finally found the dentist that I can trust and I am extremely happy with him. Thank you, Dr. Kent!read more

Best dentist I've ever been to. You feel confident in their judgment if they tell you that you need some kind of work done and that they will do a great job. They want you to keep your teeth.

The front staff was very nice but I was not called in advance about my treatment plan or price. I was shocked to be told what I was expected to pay 5 minuets before my appointment. My wife is in endodontics and the patient is always made aware of what is owed far in advance or the visit date. The doctor and clinical staff is very professional and kind! The wait time was the shortest I have ever experience.read more

I must share first, Dr. Leong is the bomb! He is excellent at his job. I had to have a tooth pulled out from the top gums of my mouth. He did not hurt at all. I felt absolutely nothing. So grateful to him. I want no one but him from now on. I feel the other dentists in this office is just as good. But I want Dr. Leong! Now the bad experience from the supportive service of this office! 1. The front desk did not return my Driver's license! I was nervous, and after getting my tooth pulled; forget she had not given my Driver's license back. After having to drive back in the rain, on a very crowded highway on a Sat. morning. As I got to the front desk, I never got a "I am sorry," this added to the my suffering. 2. She asked did I want to pay ahead. I said yes! I knew my tooth was gonna get pulled, and I did not want to deal with paying then. As Dr. Leong walked with my chart to the window. He handed her my charts. She looks at me. And asks for x amount of money. Before I could explain I already paid, she said oh you paid! Unnecessary stress. 3. I asked before being seen to join their dental plan, they offer. She had no brochure. And told me I would have to join another day! She later hand wrote prices. I feel I should have been able to join then. And a brochure/printed information at the least should be available. Besides the front desk person, everything else was very impressive. I hope the receptist either gets more training. And apply the proper procedures. Including normal good manners, the simple words, I am sorry. This office has such professional good dentists. The office is beautifully decorated. The supportive staff should match this! I might would not have wrote about the receptionist if she had seemed sorry. She did not! Her only response was, I tried to call you to tell you about card here. She never said, I am sorry.read more

After a bad experience years ago with a dentist, I was extremely reserved when I found myself needing to go again. The experience of this office was absolutely amazing!! The staff and dentist was very kind and understanding. They listened and addressed my concerns. They let me decide on what work I wanted done and when, absolutely no pressure!! I would highly recommend this office to any of my family and friends.

Very friendly staff!! Dr. Mathew Kent is my dentist and he is very thorough, patient and understanding with me.

I feel no pain after the jelly goes on my gums before the needle and if I do he lets me know that it might sting a little so I know what to expect. I dread going to the dentist but going to PIDH make it a lot easier! Been going for about 3 yearsread more

I’ve been coming to this office and seeing Dr. Kent for over 10 years. I was there earlier this year for a routine check-up AFTER switching employers and insurance. The office staff failed to update my profile and kept calling and calling to get my insurance BEFORE the appointment or else... I would have to pay for the service ahead of time. Then charge me a $25 fee for canceling. ‘Office Policy’. People wonder why healthcare is so expensive and insurance costs keep going up. Why is healthcare so focused on charging insurance... I give Dr. Kent 5 STARS along with all the staff there MINUS the front office people. They failed to update my information earlier this year and want to inconvenience me and hustle me for it. They lost a long term client because of their ‘office policy’ ***UPDATE*** I spoke with a Manager and she informed me of what happened and addressed my concerns. I’m happy to say that I’m updating this review back up to 5 stars and keeping my appointment.read more

A piece of popcorn took a chunk out of one of my two front teeth on a Sunday night. The next morning, I called the Edwin office, which set up a noon appointment with Dr. Dean Kent. Dr. Kent repaired the damage, taking pains to make sure that the new portion matched the rest of the tooth and that the fit and tolerance were precise. I am a regular patient at the West Great Neck office, which isn't open on Mondays. This is the second time I have had a dental emergency that Dr. Dean has taken care of for me at the Edwin facility.

I broke my back molar eating popcorn Thursday evening (8/13/2020) which left a couple of pretty sharp edges that could have potentially cut the side of my tongue. I called Partners In Dental Health the next morning and even though my usual dentist was not in that day, I was able to come right in to the office for another dentist to smooth down the rough edges. Dr. Schneider (I think that's her name!) smoothed my tooth to where it is perfectly comfortable, and not only that one, but she found another rather sharp edge on another tooth and smoothed it down as well! I was very pleased and relieved! Thank you staff of Partners of Dental Health!read more

Dentists normally make me nervous but they did great at making me feel comfortable and making sure I didn't feel anything. Their prices were reasonable, especially considering I don't have insurance.read more

I came to this practice as a walk-in emergency. I read about the dentists and the practice online. I was treated so kindly and professionally. At checkin I was given all information and an appointment scheduled for about 3 hours later. I left to come back, happy to have the appointment. When the dentist heard I had a swollen jaw, she had the scheduler call me right back in. How grateful I was for their compassion for me and my pain. If I lived locally, I’d use this practice! They are exceptional!read more

I went to Partners In Dental Health on an emergency basis, because of a broken molar that needed speedy attention. I got an appointment for the next day with Dr. Dean Kent. The waiting area was very clean and inviting, with chairs arranged in a way consistent with the guidelines for social distancing. The office personel was very cordial and helpful with filling out the initial paperwork. Dr. D. Kent ordered an x-ray of the broken tooth and examined the site very carefully, after which he informed me about the necessary actions ( extraction of the molar, options for replacement ) and immediately scheduled the procedure few days later. During the extraction Dr. D. Kent was very careful and made sure that the site was fully sedated. I didn't feel any pain during the procedure, although the molar was big and it took him extra time to finish. His assistant was also very kind and efficient in what she was doing to facilitate the work. I was given clear instructions ( verbal and in writing) about what to do, and not do, to promote healing and prevent infection. Overall, my experience at Partners In Dental Health in Virginia Beach was very positive and I have only praise and gratitude for the people I encountered during my visits, and especially for Dr. Dean Kent. May God continue to bless him and his practice with good things and success.read more

The dentists here have always tried their best for me, and seem genuinely concerned about their patients. I've traveled around the country due to work, and compared to my dentists in other states, they have reasonable prices for a Holistic or Biological Dentistry practice, so the care I've needed was at least within reach here. I started seeing them in 2006, and they have experience in mercury-free dentistry going back earlier than that. They're also good at tooth restoration and the work they've done for me looks good when finished.read more

I discovered Dr. Kent’s office in Norfolk, and took a turn to the VA Beach office when I moved away from the Norfolk office. Let me tell you about my experiences EVERY time for the past 5 years. Wait time: The Norfolk office is smaller and they can only see two patients at a time, (if my memory serves me right) but I’ve only waited less than 10minutes my entire 5 years. Other occasions I’m in the office and seen within 5 mins or at my scheduled appointment time. The only time it took longer was because they had a child in the chair, which I completely understand! I have never experienced double booking & I definitely don’t have time to wait around to be seen. I love this about these offices! Customer Service: I’ve only had great customer service from the front receptionist/medical assistance & my dental hygienist. Margaret is basically like family because she’s been cleaning mine and my husband’s teeth for about 4 years now. She is always pleasant & holds great conversation. Makes you feel comfortable in the chair & so welcoming! Billing: I had one discrepancy in the past when I initially went to the Norfolk office. I called the office and they immediately handled it quickly and professionally. When I come to this office, it’s like coming to the Chick Fil A/Amazon customer service of dental offices! 😂 I hope it never changes because I’d be sad to find another location.read more

We have taken our 10 person family to PIDH for the last 11 years. They respect our choices for holistic dentistry and make suggestions based on those preferences. Dr Dean Kent is open to taking a wait- and-watch approach where possible instead of jumping in to do work right away. And their staff called me when they saw that my new insurance plan would not work well for our family to ask if maybe it was not what we thought it was (it wasn’t! The insurance guy lied.) The work we’ve had done- cleanings, fillings, old filling replacements, evaluations - have all been done well.read more

My son has been going here for about 2 years and i can’t speak highly enough of the staff. He’s been so scared each time we have gone, but they all have showed patience with him and adjusts the exam as they need to so they don’t traumatize him. Each time gets a tiny bit easier and this past visit the tech could even brush his teeth. I should mention my son has Down Syndrome, so if you’re concerned about a dental visit with your child that may have special needs, I honestly can’t speak highly enough of them.read more

Dr. Matthew Kent is the most PATIENT, calm, caring, kind, dentist I or my children have ever been to. We have been seeing him for years and I enjoy that his office is Holistic. They remove amalgam fillings and don't hassle you if you opt out of fluoride for your children. He sees patients of all ages. My children have gone to him since they were 2 and I see him regularly. He understands dental anxiety and truly works with you as a patient. He will ask what kind of music you like and turn it on, he will talk to you during a procedure to reassure you what is happening in your mouth while you can't ask questions and did I mention he is so PATIENT? He is truly a blessing to my family and I'm thankful for him. I highly recommend him and his offices.read more

Dr. Mathew Kent was recommended by a coworker 8 years ago. He has been awesome and kind every visit. What surprised me the most was how he was calm and patient with my four year old last year. She had a bad cavity that got infected. She had never allowed a full cleaning at the office and we were working up to it. The initial visit she cried for what seemed like 30 mins. He was so patient with her. Once she opened her mouth he spotted the infection and decided antibiotics first before treatment. She was comfortable with him after that and when we went back for the extraction she did not cry. He even "cleans" my girls' stuffies' teeth they take for comfort.read more

And he explains in details what his suggested course of action is for your particular situation! I appreciate his professionalism, and his friendly nature. Everyone should have a dentist like him! And this is whether you are doing preventive treatments, or need corrective action on your dental needs. The front office staff works as a team, I love that about them.

He also did an excellent job at cosmetically filling enamel loss on my front tooth. Not only is he a skillful dentist, he listens to his patients with genuine concern for their wellbeing and works with them to ensure they are completely comfortable with his plan. He seems to really care about his patients as if they were his own family. Even my daughter who is 3 years old and normally terrified of men was comfortable letting Dr. Kent examine her teeth and now she often plays dentist at home and pretends her brother is Dr. Kent!

I have seen Dr Kent before and he has always been awesome. Today I went thinking I needed a crown but upon examination he told me it was a lot more complicated than a simple crown. (2/3rds of the tooth broke off making it impossible for a crown) He explained all my options to me and answered all my questions. They are all very pleasant and professional and I have already recommended them to a friend.read more

I had a very pleasant dental appointment yesterday with Dr. D. Kent. He's an outstanding dentist who listens to your concerns which makes you feel comfortable seeing him. I've seen many dentists in my life time but Dr. Kent is seasoned and one of the best in his profession. He knows how to make you feel comfortable and operate with ease at the same time. C.

Such a great dental group! I’ve been coming here for years and my teen loves it as much as I do! They all have a gentle approach, are kind, and compassionate! Margaret is my favorite because she respects that I don’t want fluoride and she also knows how I prefer my teeth cleaned, avoiding the drill noise close to my ears. And “younger” Dr. Kent is amazing, and great with children! My daughter actually looks forward to her cleanings! Just this week, I had hurt my tooth unexpectedly and they got me in within 15 minutes! As long as I’m a VB resident, this is where I will go!!read more

Got in on 2 days notice for a tooth ache as a new patient, turned out to be a filling that had come out and was forming a cavity. My appointment was at 10:30am, and then the same day at 4:30 I was able to go back and get a filling. Dr. Kent (the younger one) made both appointments smooth, easy and he was extremely caring throughout the whole process making sure I was well taken care of. My ache was resolved, tooth is perfect again and it was quick! 10/10 would recommend going here.read more

I can’t say enough wonderful things. From the moment I walked in, the entire staff made me feel welcomed and comfortable. The office is spotless, modern, and equipped with the latest technology, which gave me so much confidence in their care. Dr. Bichu is truly a master of her craft—gentle, thorough, and incredibly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of my procedure and answered all my questions with patience and clarity. I never once felt rushed or like “just another patient.” If you’re looking for a dentist who combines expertise, care, and compassion, look no further! I highly recommend Dr. Bishu to anyone in need of top-notch dental care!read more

I’m terrified of the dentist and have terrible teeth but I wanted to start working on restoring my dental health. I was shaking when I walked into the office but the atmosphere was so calm and the guys at the front desk were so sweet. The hygienist, Darren, picked up on my fear and listened to why I was afraid and was so, so patient and kind. Dr.Bichu was amazing! She also listened to my concerns and fears and went a long way to reassure me and worked with me because I have a medical condition that makes local anesthesia not work very long on me. She did everything she could to make sure I was comfortable and as numb as I could be for my emergency extraction. She didn’t judge my bad teeth or make nasty remarks as previous dentists have done and I felt so well taken care of. This was the first time in 10+ years that I did not have to be sedated for a dental procedure and all because the staff made me feel so comfortable. I cried happy tears at the end. I’m actually excited for my next appointment and starting my dental health journey! When they say they cater to cowards, they mean it!read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr Mathew Kent at Partners in Dental Health, as well as his staff! I rarely leave reviews but want others who are looking for great dental care to know they can find it here. I was drawn to Partners in Dental Health after searching for holistic dentistry, as I like a more natural approach. I have had a lot of dental trauma and been told by some dentists that I need hundreds of dollars worth of work and by others that I do not, so I never know what to believe. From my first time here, everyone was wonderful! All of the dental staff are kind, considerate, and caring, and Dr Mathew, in addition to being all of these things, always patiently answers all of my questions and never rushes to do any procedure unless he thinks it is absolutely necessary. When he does recommend a procedure, he explains why, gets your input without forcing anything on you, and during the procedure, walks you through the whole process with his kind and gentle demeanor. I appreciate him, Ms Margaret (an amazing hygienist who I love!), and the whole staff very much and feel so fortunate to have found them!read more

What a wonderful practice! I saw Dr. Kent for a consult after my PREVIOUS dentist said I needed a crown but, would not provide a preservative free lidocaine (as preservative causes anaphylaxis.) Dr. Kent assured me he would be able to provide a preservative free alternative. After a thorough exam and looking at my x-rays, Dr. Kent informed me I didn't need a crown and scheduled me for a cleaning that was due next month. Needless to say, Partners in Dental Health is now my only dental practice. I also want to add the staff is amazing! Friendly, kind and so helpful!read more

Had such a good experience here for my 6 year old. She had a bad experience at a previous dentist where they wanted to do a bunch of unnecessary dental work.

The office seems more old school/outdated which I loved so much. Not a ton of new technology that I’ve seen at other dentists. Excited to continue care here for my whole family.read more
