The entire staff here is amazing! I am so glad they are near my home and accept my dental insurance. I was in a bit of a pickle and the dentist was personable, well versed,honest, caring and thorough from the beginning. Let’s face it, no one likes going to the dentist but they have my 100% trust! I won’t go anywhere else and will refer everyone here. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for taking care of me! I wish I could give you a 10 star!

My last event was a cleaning and the one before that was a crown add. Both events were very successful. The doctor and her staff were very accommodating, welcoming, and professional. I enjoy my visits to see them and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a good experience with highly qualified professionals.

We have 4 boys, age 5-14 and Dr. Suganya Nelatoor was amazing! Not only was everyone very friendly and hospitable, all our teeth were cleaner than I’ve seen them after a dental visit... ever! She is great about explaining options and working with you for the best/most cost effective options for dental necessities. They are also quick to get appointments made. So glad we found Expressions Family Dental!

I took my son here for his first ever dental visit and they made him feel so comfortable and were so sweet with him! The staff was very patient with him and took their time so that he never got scared and they explained everything they were doing thoroughly. I went here for a cleaning myself and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate my needs with being pregnant and they were so excited to see my son again. We will definitely be seeing them as a family for many years!

Dr Suganya Nelatoor was absolutely wonderful and easy to work with. My father who was visiting had some dental issues and she was very accommodating and understanding of the problem. Explained everything thoroughly before the procedure. She certainly goes the extra mile in caring for her patients. The entire process was seamless and my dad was very happy with the outcome. The staff were very friendly and made my father feel comfortable throughout the process. Very reasonably priced for people without insurance.

Excellent customer service! Very thorough and gentle. They did a procedure I was terrified about and I walked away with no pain and able to do future procedures with panicking. She was very attentive to my every need and explained each step. I could go on a and on about how they helped me overcome my fears, everyone in the office is absolutely amazing!!

I haven’t been to the dentist in years, mainly because I have had bad experiences in the past. The staff was so friendly and welcoming. I’m usually so nervous going to the dentist but not this time. Dr. Nelatoor is wonderful, the best dentist I’ve ever been to. She really took her time with me and went through my x rays and pictures explaining her thoughts. I really felt like I could trust her and that she really wanted what was best for my dental care. Their prices are great too, I don’t have dental insurance but they offer very reasonable packages. I’m so thankful to have found this office and it’s so close to where I live.

Everyone was friendly and professional. My daughter (age 11) needed a filling after having had a procedure at another dentist's office. Dr. Nelatoor was very kind, patient and explained all the options before moving forward. My daughter was able to get her dental work done while watching a movie and was completely at ease. Convenient hours and great staff, we will be back.

I love this dentist's office! Super clean, front desk staff was super friendly. Dental hygienist and dentist were really nice, knowledgeable. I was able to get an appointment really quickly. I have switched my kids over to this dentist also as I had such a great experience. She was not pushy to get me to do any kind of unnecessary treatments.

When looking for a quality dentist with great training and exceptional patient care, look no further than Dr. Nelatoor. I needed a dentist appointment ASAP, I called Dr. Nelatoor's office and within a day I was seated in her chair. She took care of my dental concerns/issues and offered the most conservative approach possible that was the least invasive in terms of pain and financial burden. She also makes it a point to follow-up with her patients via calls and/or text messages to make sure you've continued to do well and are satisfied with the care provided. If you're looking for a great dentist that goes above and beyond the standard level of care, go to Dr. Nelatoor.

Dr. Nelatoor and staff are so nice and super helpful! They squeezed me in right away when I was in a lot of pain. Dr Nelatoor explains everything that’s going on so you understand and I absolutely loved that considering I’ve never experienced a dentist that did that. Definitely would recommend!!

Dr. Suganya Nelatoor is very professional and detail oriented. She takes the time to explain everything to the patient in layman language. My kids felt very comfortable with her. My mom was so pleased. I loved the fact that the Dentist herself did the teeth cleaning unlike most other places. The office was sparkling clean and welcoming. Jenny at the front desk was very helpful and she was on top of everything from Insurance verification, paperwork and follow ups. Highly recommend.

Dr. Nelatoor and her fantastic staff are a gift to us! We were looking for a dedicated dentist when I saw her office and stopped in. It was the best unplanned visit I have ever done! It did not take me long to realize this was "our dentist", a professional and team we could and would trust. We appreciate how Dr. Nelatoor explains everything in an easy and concise way, no pressure, logical and ethical. You truly feel they are there for "you". Be sure to contact this wonderful dental practice, Expressions Family Dental, you will not be disappointed!

I recently visited Expressions Family Dental for Orthodontic consultation. Dr. Nelatoor was very friendly and thorough in taking all my impressions for the Invisalign treatment. She even recommended more personal customization for my case. She explained all the details on what we should expect during the treatment. She even showed me the simulation of the teeth correction during and after the treatment. I look forward to start my Invisalign treatment soon.

My visit at Expressions Family Dental was absolutely wonderful. Dr. Nelatoor was thorough and put me at ease immediately. Brittany at the front desk helped me find my correct insurance information and was so patient with me. Candy who assisted Dr. Nelatoor was very smart and kind. I could not recommend this team more. I can’t believe I’m saying this about a dentist appointment but I’m excited to go back in October for my next visit! They are the Best. Thankful to have them close in Waxhaw.

Dr. Nelatoor and her staff are great! I had neglected going to the dentist for a couple of years and finally made an appointment at Expressions. They took care of my cleaning and even a couple of fillings and got me back on track. My wife and I will definitely be back!
