Lyndhurst Dental Associates

Dr. Ayuso is the best dentist I have ever worked with. I have been seeing her for years and she always remembers things we have talked about (kinda nice when she sees so many patients and I only see her every 6 months or so) and makes sure to take the time to go over any concerns or questions I have. I am now seeing her for my Invisalign journey and am very excited about her treatment plan for me. I have recommended her to friends, family and coworkers and my husband is now a patient of hers. He hates going to the dentist but can't say enough great things about Dr. Ayuso and her assistant, Libby.

I came here for a second opinion after being told by another practice that I needed multiple fillings at my initial visit. I have never had any problems with my teeth so this was shocking to me. At Lyndhurst Dental, Dr. Porter and assistant, Tori were very helpful and kind, answered all of my questions, and reassured me that my teeth didn't need any fillings. I felt very confident with their care and evaluation.

Dr. Porter also took extra time to answer other questions I had and gave me recommendations, for which I was very grateful.

I will be continuing care with them from here on and recommending their office to others!

Dr. Porter is the best dentist I’ve ever had. He’s very personable, knowledgeable and does great work. His team is terrific too. I moved from Winston-Salem to Raleigh a couple of years ago but still make the drive to W/S for dental appointments because of how much I trust Dr. Porter and his team. I highly recommend them.

I’m 26, I’ve been going to Lyndhurst since I was four years old. Nearly everyone I know has had a nightmare experience at a dentist office, I cannot relate. Dr. Porter and his team have been nothing but professional and helpful for the 20+ years I’ve been using this office. My three year old came to the office with me for the first time, at the suggestion of the staff, to get her used to the office as she’ll soon need cleanings, X-rays, etc….. Everyone in the office was very nice and did a great job of easing her into her first trip into a dental office. I can’t recommend Lyndhurst enough, I’ll never go to another dentist.

Gone are the Grumpy Dentists of my youth. (Everyone at LDA and previously Holder and Porter were ALWAYS smiling and made / make me feel welcome).5 Stars(🌟🌟🌟 🌟 🌟) (details below)

I have been a customer/ patient of Lyndhurst Dental Assoc. since before it was Lyndhurst Dental Assoc. (1992, yes, that long).

It is wonderful and a comfort that in all that time I have never felt like I was a just customer or a patient. I have always felt like I was visiting a place that knew me well and was happy to see me (kind of like when you go to your favourite restaurant or shop and you can tell the people who work there are glad to see you.).

Like most people, a trip to the dentist's office is not something I look forward to doing twice a year. I like that I get gentle reminders about tooth care and not lectures.

My previous dentists and orthodontist - prior to changing dentists in 1992 - all literally spent more time lecturing and scolding me about tooth care than actual time caring for my teeth. (And this was despite wearing braces for 6 years and brushing and using a Water pik! I did not have any cavities until I was in my 40's.)

So, to say that LDA has been a good place for my family is not without comparison.

Two more points.

1. My daughter is tactilly defensive (extremely touch / texture / smell / feel sensitive ) and all the staff make accommodations for her so she is able to tolerate having her teeth cleaned.

2. My last point is that the Doctors (Ayuso and Porter) and staff (I am sorry I can't remember all of their names) have all been calming, pleasant, engaging, and listen very well. To me, this shows that there is a good structure and bond between staff and doctors.

IF, and I hope that it isn't an issue when you read this, COVID-19 is still a problem, LDA has excellent measures to not only clean and limit contact between customers but also staff.

Thank you, LDA

Dr. Ayuso and Dr Porter are always so eager to help with any dental problems my family has and has never not fixed what comes up. After years of not being able to find a dental office that we like, we finally found a home here. The staff is always so friendly and easy to talk to. These guys and gals are second to none in our book!

Had a filling come out this morning at about 11:30. Called LDA and they were able to get me in at 2:30. I was out by 3:30 and they were APOLOGIZING for how "long" it took because they were busy. They did a fantastic job and did so quickly, but with a friendly and kind attitude, not "all business." This was my first dental visit since living in Winston Salem, and I won't be going anywhere else. Highly recommended.

First visit to Lyndhust Dental. I was met with friendly faces at the desk. The had been some miscommunication and i didn't have an appointment. Staff handled situation without gracefully. They had an opening and got the first time xrays and cleaning done in a very timely fashion. Everybody i interacted with was great. My hygienist was excellent, handled a challenging level of plague with speed and skill that i really appreciated. Can't wait to go back, just kidding it is still the Dentist right!!!!! Great experience I highly recommend them

From the beginning when they were taking extra precautions outside at the entrance until I was finished I had an extraordinarily nice experience going for my 1st check up as a new patient with this dental office. They have state-of-the-art equipment and most importantly besides the fact that they are all extremely excellent at their jobs they are also very friendly and helpful. Assistant Libby, Doctor Ayuso and
Hygienist Rachel all helped to make the visit a topnotch experience. The lady at checkout too!
Thanks for making sure everyone stays safe during this time so that we can Come to the dentist!
I am so grateful my friend Kathy recommended them so highly!
I will see you in 6 months !
Thank you, Debra Simons

I went to my first visit with Dr. Porter this year. They took my x-rays and did a dental cleaning. The hygienist was very nice and didn't hurt me at all. I had two cavities worked on and all of this happened during my lunch break. I really appreciated their care and have recommended them to my family.
