Dhakar Family Dentistry

I've been going to this dental practice since they've opened and they are amazing at what they do. I've paid out of pocket over a thousand dollars for work and had insurance cover some things and my experience has always been consistently good. My recent experience was an emergency extraction that they fit me in to take care of although they are booked through Jan 2022. They do accept Medicaid/Medicare and that is a blessing bc not many dentist take Medicaid/Medicare for adults who are not pregnant. Medicaid/Medicare does not reimburse dentist nearly enough for certain procedures and that is the reason most dentist stay away from it. Even though they do accept Medicaid/Medicare they aren't just doing the quick work (cleanings, fillings, exams, x-rays, consults), they do complicated extractions, root canals with build-up, and other time-consuming procedures that they aren't reimbursed enough for, but are trying to help the community that needs this type of work more than ever. Because you have free will, you can choose to go to whichever dentist you want to, but if you choose to go to a dentist that accepts the minimally reimbursed insurances then be patient, the way they will be with you and your unhealthy mouth, or go somewhere else.

I went there yesterday for a tooth extraction and it was a great experience! I went in with a lot of anxiety and fear over my dental health, but they were very reassuring and helpful through that process. The tooth extraction process was very quick and painless. The only pain I felt was the needle going in, but that pain lasted maybe 20 seconds? The made sure the area was completely numb and gave me an extra shot on the numbing stuff when I raised my hand to make it aware that there was pain. Before I left, they double checked that I was aware of all that I needed to do for after care and were just really great and helpful people. I have more dental work that needs to be done, and I am for sure coming back here for it!

Came here in desperation on memorial day weekend. Needed an emergency dentist for a tooth that was killing me. I didn't want to go anywhere sketchy and I am glad I chose this place based on all the other positive reviews and they definitely lived up to the professionalism. Very nice location and office. Friendly staff, opened on time. No wait. The dentist was very practiced and I felt very comfortable. He pulled my tooth out with no pain at all. I was in and out in less than an hour.

Dr. Dhakar is very knowledgeable and thorough regarding dentistry. She was pleasant to work with and did a good job on my daughter mouth for the most part. The office manager ALEXIS is very rude and obnoxious toward patients and should be FIRED ASAP. She is a very miserable person who enjoys bringing misery to others. She is the only reason why I decided to find a new dental office and im sure I was not the first or will be the last person she runs away from that office. She is very very bad for business.

I had a very poor experience at this dentist. The assistant was very kind, but I was very upset when they started placing the X-ray body cover on me without getting my consent to do X-rays. I told them that I didn’t want to do X-rays because I wasn’t sure my insurance covered it. Upon being assured that it would fully cover it, I allowed the X-rays. I just got the bill from my insurance, which did not cover it...

Also, the dentist who cleaned my teeth was very heavy handed which made the cleaning the most painful one I have ever had. In addition, he made me feel ashamed for having a teeth grinding problem, which is not something I can control. He claimed my front teeth are disproportionately small for my age, which doesn’t make since considering I have an overbite and don’t grind those teeth. No prior dentist had spoken about my teeth that way so it was very upsetting. Overall, my experience was very upsetting and painful.

Best Dentistry ever been to I literally have been looking for a dentist for years that takes my insurance they do work with you and it’s affordable. Aside from money Jeanie the receptionist is amazing she helped me get everything in order from start to finish with no hassle or frustration thank you Jennie. Carly the dental assistant also amazing she made it very easy and explained all steps with detail also executed her job with personal perfection thank you Carly. Last but certainly not least there is Dhakar the dentist he is very amazing at what he does I felt no pain during my teeth extraction which I was very nervous about but to my surprise he made it very painless and cared to clean my teeth before and X-ray after to be sure all tooth fragments were correctly removed thank Dhakar.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS DENTISTRY FOR ALL PATIENTS LOOKING FOR YOUR DENTAL WORK EASY CARING AND FUN!

I would give this place 6 stars if there was an extra one available to do so. I have been to several well respected high end dentists in town during my life. Not only is this guy so much more reasonably priced but his care made them look like novices. I have had extractions performed 2 different times before in my life. Both times I ended up with the teeth being broken and had pieces come out later after infection brought them to the surface. This guy was almost like a magician. He removed my tooth so quickly, fluidly and fully intact in less than 60 seconds without so much as a wince from me. I have never had an experience with a dentist be so smooth and painless. The entire staff was great. The receptionist was friendly and extremely personable as well as the hygienist. Not only that but I got out of there with x-rays, exam and an extraction for what I've paid for just a consult and a teeth cleaning. I plan on telling everyone i know about this guy. He even gave me 2 coffee cups and really nice pens just because. I could go on forever but I couldn't say enough good about this dentist and his practice. i plan on scheduling more work with him asap. Thanks Doc for the painless and personable service. I mean it.

Doctor Dhakar and his staff where excellent! They where accommodating, very friendly and professional. My daughter and I went to the dentist together. They made it a fun experience! I was not scheduled that day but they fit me in for a cleaning and x-rays. Everything was affordable. We have made our next appointment and will continue to go to this wonderful dentistry.

My husband and I walked in 5 minutes before they were scheduled to close for New Years Eve. Not only was he welcomed, but all of the staff stayed late to help us, and to make sure he was comfortable through the whole process. They all came into the room and gave both my husband and I all the assurances needed to make this a wonderful experience for us and especially my husband.
Dr. Dhakar and his staff stayed to the end and no one had a complaint we kept them there an additional hour and a half. I thank you all for helping us in our time of need and doing it with a smile on your face and joy in your heart. I highly recommend you to anyone who is in need of your care. Thank you so much.

This is a fantastic Dentistry. I am and always have been terrified of dentists, but once I read the reviews here I decided to give it a try. I knew I needed a lot of work done, and both the dentist and all the nurses were wonderful and made me feel at ease during the procedures and always checked if I was in pain or needed a break. Another added bonus is the price! Everything was very affordable, especially compared to other dentists in Richmond. Couldn’t recommend this place more!
