Collecting Deposits and Credit Card Information
Any restorative or periodontal appointments requires a $100 or 10% deposit, whichever is higher. More extensive cases may require a 50% deposit to reserve your appointment. The reason we ask for deposits is to reserve your committed appointment. These appointments are reserved just for you. We understand that life happens and you may be unable to make the reserved appointment. We will waive it for the first missed appointment; however, any future missed appointments the deposit will be forfeited.
We require a credit card for unseen balances after insurance pays for each of your visits. We provide estimates only for each procedure and truly do not know the exact amount of reimbursement we will receive from your insurance plan. We no longer do billing for balances less than $100. The card you have chosen to leave on file will be automatically run for these types of balances. We offer 3% and 5% savings for all visits paid in full at the time services are rendered. We will file your visit to your insurance company and they will reimburse you directly. The safety of all of your personal information is of the utmost importance to us. All credit cards are secure with our password protected software.
In order to help us process your payment in a faster and more secure fashion, we have officially transitioned to a cashless practice. Please note we will accept all other forms of payment, including check, debit or credit card.
Saturday Appointments
For your convineince, we are open almost every Saturday throughout the year from 8am to 3pm. As insurance companies are typically closed on Saturdays, it is very important to fill out your new patient online formas 24 to 48 hours in advance of your appointment. This will allow us to verift your insurance coverage before your visit. If you are unable to fill out the forms before your scheduled appointment and we are unable to verify your insurance coverage, we ask that your first visit be paid in full at the time services are rendered.

What Our Patients Are Saying!

The results are amazing, and my front teeth look better than I ever imagined! He’s so caring, and I genuinely feel well taken care of every time I’m there. I’m so glad we found him when we moved to Cary. If you want a dentist with exceptional skill and care, Dr. Wooten is the absolute best!
The clinic itself is spotless, and the entire staff is friendly and professional. I actually had my tooth removed three days ago, but I started having some pain this morning. I called the clinic at 8:00 AM, and they were kind enough to take me in at 8:30 AM. I was seen again by Dr. Madden, who quickly evaluated my problem, cleaned the infected area and prescribed antibiotics. Everything went so smoothly, and I truly appreciate how caring and responsive they were.
Overall, an excellent experience — clean office, friendly staff, and outstanding care. Highly recommend!
If you're looking for the perfect dentist, then look no further. Kindness and care is at the forefront of everything they do and it really shows.
The atmosphere was superb and very friendly walking in.
Ana the dental hygienist and Blanca were EXTREMELY informative throughout every step. Ana was so accommodating through everything and was really involved with what you wanted from the visit and moving forward with oral care!
Each step of the way she would go over everything and explain everything from the up most thoroughness. She was super kind and made the atmosphere very uplifting.
The doc/dentist that came in was super respectful and friendly. He also was very informative and showed a lot of trust in his dental hygienist which I believe she is very knowledgeable in the field!
Over all great first time, they got me set up with a care plan that will hopefully help me get back on track!!
Thank you and would recommend to everyone!!
Great place. They were super gentle and fast. Ana is a star hygienist. Best dentist i have been to in a very long time
Beware! They are known to DECEIVE people into thinking they accept dental insurance. Paid way too much for my dental cleaning and they led me to believe I wouldn’t have to pay anything since cleanings are fully covered by my insurance.
Dr. W is amazing as well. He is genuine, thorough, and a good human.
The staff are friendly, timely, and on point. The office is modern, clean, and in a great location.
This practice blew me away so much that I have already referred them to clients and friends.
So happy that I found them. I would give them 10 stars if I could.

Cary Family dental
I’m absolutely appalled by the treatment my two children, ages 16 and 14, received at Cary Family Dentistry. My husband and I have been long-time patients, so we trusted them for our children's first non-pediatric dental appointments. Unfortunately, this experience has made us lose all trust in this practice.
Due to my children’s busy school and sports schedules, we scheduled their appointments on a day when my husband and I were in the office, but they were out of school. The office is just minutes from our home, and my 16-year-old son drove them both to their appointments. From the moment they arrived, the staff acted shocked that my daughter was 14 years old and proceeded to treat her with extreme disrespect.
The real issue came when the staff began loudly discussing, right outside my daughter’s room, how “irresponsible” it was for us not to attend her appointment. They made unnecessary and hurtful comments about her teeth, wrongly assuming she had just recently had a cleaning, saying things like “why is she even here?” and that the hygienist didn’t want to “waste her time.” These remarks were not only inaccurate but incredibly inappropriate. They repeatedly questioned why she was there at all, adding to the distress.
My daughter, who was already anxious about her first adult dental visit, called me in tears after the appointment, heartbroken by the way they had spoken about her and our family. The level of unprofessionalism is absolutely shocking, and no patient—especially a minor—should ever be made to feel so belittled and embarrassed.
This is NOT a family-friendly practice, and I am devastated that my children’s first experience with an adult dentist was such a nightmare. We will be finding a new dentist who actually cares about and respects their patients. If you value professionalism, kindness, and a welcoming environment, I highly recommend looking elsewhere.
The team is not only incredibly pleasant but also highly knowledgeable. They took the time to explain every step of the process, which helped alleviate my nerves and made me feel confident in my decision to choose them as my new dentist. Their professionalism and genuine care for their patients truly shine through. I appreciated how the staff took the time to listen to my concerns and answer all of my questions thoroughly.
Overall, my experience at Cary Family Dental exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Cary Family Dental to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled dental team.
Kelly is a wonderful dental hygienist too!!! Dr. Wooten is fantastic too!!! They’re all fantastic!!!
So customer buys at extra cost a warranty dentist gets paid no impact to them. I can see there business model evolving. No accountability.
I can do better and I did.
This is the response to the owners response.
The response was canned and as expected. If you dedicated to excellence I would say you are in need of a quality control audit bigly. Save your $10 words and canned fairytale response as the actions do not meet the Truth.
Leigh 🙂
Came out the dentist, cheeeesing 😁!!!
100% Highly recommend!!!
My most recent experience with hygienist Liz confirmed all my previous experiences. This is a great place and I highly recommend it.
I have requested getting numbed for my dental cleanings for a number of years because my teeth are so sensitive. However, Fanta is so gentle and thorough in cleaning my teeth that I no longer request anesthesia.
I also had a veneer fracture and was dreading getting it replaced. Dr. Kristin Madden made me feel comfortable as soon as she came into the room with her gentle touch, kindness and infinite patience. The new veneer was even more beautiful than my old one. Dr. Madden meticulously matched my tooth color and covered more of the tetracycline staining of my tooth so that my smile is as amazing as Dr. Madden. I trust her to do anything in my my mouth.
I would highly recommend Cary Family Dental to anyone looking for a practice who is attentive, provides great service, with exceptional customer service from calling to schedule an appointment, follow-up, to leaving their office.
I had missed my last dental appointment at my old practice because they had very limited hygienists, so I was behind on my current cleaning. I feel so much better since my cleaning today, and very happy that I chose Cary Family Dental my dental care 🦷 🤩🤩🤩
Karen is my hygienist and she makes my visits very welcoming. Everyone here is very pleasant.
Keep smiling.
