Mark Andrews, DDS

I had seen a dentist in Raleigh for seven years who seemed to treat me more like a collection of teeth than as a person. I saw him about every six months for general cleanings and was told that everything was fine.\r I don't think he ever spent more than two minutes with me at each of these appointments. Because I was\r interested in some cosmetic work for my front teeth, I decided to try Dr. Andrews. My past dentist told me that he really focussed on fillings and cleanings and that he really didn't feel comfortable addressing cosmetic challenges. The first visit I had with Dr. Andrews was unlike anything I had ever experienced. He took the time to get to know me as a person, did the most thorough exam I ever had, and most importantly, took high quality digital photographs of my teeth that enabled me to see my teeth as never before. After he reviewed my x-rays, we sat down together and studied the pictures he had taken. He took quite a bit of time to explain some of my dental issues which included decay, gum recession, broken fillings, and wear of my teeth. The wear and discoloration of my teeth made me look about ten years older than I am. He carefully explained my treatment options and we agreed on a plan. He recently completed work on my front teeth which included veneers and all porcelain crowns. He was able to add length to my teeth which had worn--and it looked not only beautiful, but perfectly natural as well. He really takes his time and is truly a perfectionist. I couldn't be more happy with his work. His work is not cheap, but I believe it is well worth it because the results he achieved for me are virtually perfection. I don't think you could find a better man or a more competant dentist anywhere. Pros: painless, he is an artist Cons: his fees are probably higher than an average dentist, but he is worth it more

I found Dr. Andrews and his staff to be friendly and professional. I did feel that his prices were high though. As Dr. Andrews told me, he feels that his prices are fair because of the high quality products and equipment that he uses. However, I did not notice a difference between his services and my current dentist's services, who charges a more normal rate. I have great dental insurance and still had to pay over $100 for an exam and x-rays! I have never had to pay over $20 for the same service at several other dentists. Perhaps the patients are paying for the expensive building fees and plush waiting area.....\r I also felt Dr. Andrews to be more of a sales person than a dentist. After telling him that my goals were not cosmetic but rather just to have a healty mouth, I felt that he pushed teeth whitening and other costly cosmetic procedures. I didn't feel that he had my best interest in mind, rather just ways to make extra money. After my initial exam, I went to get a few other opinions from dentists in the area, all of whom said that the recommended procedures from Dr. Andrews were ""excessive"".\r I do not want this review to be taken the wrong way. I think Dr. Andrews provides a great service and is a great dentist. I just don't feel that he is the right dentist for me. I wanted to post this review just to give others a heads up. He may be just the type of dentist you are looking for- or not.... more

My experience with Dr. Andrews office has been the best dental experience I have ever had. When I was younger my first dental experience was one I had tried to forget. I have had a hard time gathering the courage to make a dental appointment of my own free will, but things were getting a little sensitive, so I knew it was time. I finally made an appointment, and Dr. Andrews and his staff made my experience one that I can be fond of. I have since been a very loyal patient, and have been so confident in my dental care that I have referred several of my colleagues to him. I would highly recommend Dr. Andrews to anyone. But don't let me be the only judge, make an appointment and find out for yourself. more

I am not much of a talker, so I will keep this short and sweet. I have been going to Dr. Andrews for about 5 years now and he is by far one of the best dentist in the triangle. I had seen another dentist before Dr. Andrews and my expeirence there was not the same as my expeirence everytime I come in. Dr. Andrews and his staff are caring, polite, and truly takes a part in my individual care. I would recommend him to anyone who enjoys a clean environment and quality dental care. more

Hello to those interested in finding a new dentist. I found Dr. Andrews the same way you are, through citysearch. I moved here about 2 yrs. ago, and sorry to say with 3 kids getting your teeth cleaned after a big move was not the first thing in mind. When I finally had some free time to find a dentist, Dr. Andrews struck my attention. I made an appointment, and was not disappointed. The staff is very kind, and made sure that my first expeirence back was a good one. One of my biggest things was that they file insurance. It is crazy how many dental offices around that do not offer this kind of service. But, with 3 kids, and the thought of filing that paper work....... well, it just was not going to happen. I have had some of my teeth repaired by Dr. Andrews and I am completely satisfied with his work. I have felt no sensativity with my new crown that I felt from day one with the old one. Dr. Andrews was able to show me previous completely works so that I was completely confident to put my teeth in his hands. But, I did not need to see his work to know that I was being taken care of by the right Doctor. Pros: Careing Doctor, Careing Staff, Attention to detail more

I've (well, my parents) spent more on my teeth - braces, oral surgery, etc - than my college education so I've been to a ton of dentists. Dr. Andrews is one of the most competent dentists I've been to. He's a perfectionist and slightly OCD in that he is incredibly careful and thorough - but he leaves the choices up to you in a really respectful way. It's like you are seeing a tooth soothsayer: this is your fortune, now do what you will. I love the work that he did and I will be going back. Not least because his staff is welcoming, alert, honest and sweet. Great experience. more

Getting me to the dentist was well... like pulling teeth. My wife was constantly trying to get me to go, and finally I did. Dr. Andrews completely changed my view on going to the dentist. He and his staff made sure I was comfortable at all times. Needless to say after avoiding the dentist like the plaque, I needed to have some work done. What shocked me the most, is how much calmer I was with the chair staring me straight in the face. I felt relaxed, mostly because I felt confident in his work. When I asked to see examples of what I will be going through, he was able to. It also helps that my wife has been very satisfied with crown work she has had, completed about 3 years ago. My first restorative appointment was over 6 months ago, and I never felt happier with my decision to have Dr. Andrews as my dentist. more

I would only recommend this dentist if you have A LOT of money to spend. I think he is more into cosmetic dentistry and just finds all kinds of things to do in your mouth! After being told I would have to spend a LARGE amount of money to get all this stuff done.. I went to 2 other dentists for opinions. BOTH of those dentists found that I only needed 1 filling repaired. Thats it! I think he is under the impression that everyone is looking for movie star teeth! My teeth are fine just fix my little fililng repair and let me go for $100 instead of a few THOUSAND dollars! more

What can I say, Dr. Andrews is very skilled in his profession. Ever since my first appointment, I was confident in his work. He showed me photographs of previous work, and explained in great detail what he was going to begin with to improve the health of my teeth. I have had 3 crowns, and 2 inlays. At every appointment I always know he and his staff do everything they can to make sure I am comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone in need of a new dentist. Pros: clean office, nice staff, quality work more

People who know me will agree that I am one of the pickiest people around and I want things to be right. I'm the kind who will research before buying things that I expect to last awhile (cars, appliances, cameras, etc.), so that goes double when I am selecting someone to take care of my medical & dental needs. I had continued to go to a really good dentist in Durham after moving to Cary several years ago, but decided after a few years that I should switch to someone more conveniently located. After looking at other comments on this site, I decided to try Dr. Mark Andrews. I have been so pleased with his work. I had three crowns done this year. They look great, they feel like my regular teeth, not something artificial, and I haven't had the feeling that my bite was off even the slightest bit. The other services, such as cleanings and routine exams, have also been done to my liking, as well. The entire staff is very skilled and friendly. This picky person endorses Dr. Mark Andrews and those on his staff. Pros: He's a perfectionist more

Dr. Andrews is the best dentist I have ever expeirenced. I have received 2 crowns, one inlay, and some bonding to close the gap in my teeth. I am so happy with my smile, and I am loyally Dr. Andrews patient for years to come. Pros: Companionate, Caring, and KNOWS HIS STUFF more

Dr. Andrews is a wonderful, caring, and gentle dentist. I have had my share of dental work and been through dentist trying to find one. When I came to Dr. Andrews he was more than willing to meet my needs and get my teeth where they needed to be. He takes his time, his office is very nice and his staff is very nice as well. I have now been seeing and going to Dr. Andrews for about two years now and I wouldnt go anywhere else. My teeth, from the work we have done thus far, feel so much better and I feel so much better about them. I couldn't ask for a better dentist and a more caring person. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Andrews! He is such a wonderful person and an even better dentist! Pros: VERY nice office and staff more

I have been going to Dr. Andrews for 5 years now. Dr. Andrews is hands down the nicest dentist around. His work is really confortable and flawless. I have had two crowns, four fillings, and whitening trays made. After seeing Dr. Andrews my confidence in dentistry has definently increased. I am very happy with my smile, and really enjoy my check-ups. Dr. Andrews and his staff are so nice, that after my first appointment I already felt like family. Pros: Humor, Comfortable, Understanding more

I have had very positive experiences with the extensive crown work Dr. Andrews has completed for me. I have not felt like he was rushing to complete any work he was doing; rather, that he would take as much time as needed to get the job done to the best of his ability. The staff who assist him in performing the crown work have always been very comforting, calming, and accomodating. I also appreciate the fact that Dr. Andrews says that is a priority for him to keep his office and his procedures clean. I feel very fortunate that myself and my husband are among Dr. Andrews' patients. more

I came across Dr. Andrews & his caring staff when I was in an unfortunate accident where both of my front teeth were knocked out. I've never had braces or cavities, so I was just used to the regular cleanings. I had recently moved to the area from Atlanta & wasn't sure where to go. I was very nervous & was afraid of the pain I would have to go through & the after effects. After spending my first ten minutes in Dr. Andrews office (recommended by the endodontist that I saw, Dr. Card), I knew it was where I wanted to have my crowns done. Dr. Andrews constantly checked in with me throughout the entire process, making sure I was comfortable and okay. He even called me on a Saturday to make sure the medicine he prescribed for me was working. He was incredibly gentle and is a complete perfectionist, which is a quality I definitely want my dentist to have. Although my accident was traumatic, the process to make me have a beautiful smile again was painless and comforting. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Andrews and his staff. I now consider them all friends & check in regularly to see how they are doing. Whether you need a cleaning or you have had a traumatic accident or you just want a new look, I 100% recommend Dr. Andrews. Not only did I get a beautiful smile, but I also got peace of mind. Pros: Clean, friendly, very detailed more

I have been going to Dr. Andrew's for about 4 months now, and I was very impressed with the office, the staff, work ethic and the time he takes to make the patients happy and comfortable. I had stain in the lower left quadrant of my mouth and he took photographs to magnify the teeth and decay so I could see what was going on and how bad the decay was. So, he removed the decay, a very painless process, and he made sure that I was comfortable at all times and told me what was going on every step of the way. Another thing that was important to me was trying to save as much as my real tooth as possible, and he did that. He put tooth colored fillings in and they look really good. I have had no problems with my teeth since I had the work done! I have also had a cleaning there recently and I thought that also was a good experience, the hygentist made sure I was comfortable and does really good cleanings. I wanted him to contour my front teeth just a little because I thought they were long, he did it without novicane and without having to do veeners or cutting away at my teeth, so it was a very quick and easy thing to do. I feel very confident in Dr. Andrew's work and he makes sure he takes him time with you and that you are happy. I highly recommend Dr. Andrew's!!! He is a wonderful dentist!! Pros: beautiful office, VERY clean, and wonderful staff more

Since we moved to the triangle about 10 years ago, we have been with Dr. Andrews. My teeth were in a bad state but Dr. Andrews took the time required to get all my issues under control. I was very impressed with his work ethic of making it right as if it were his own mouth. My whole family of 4 has equally been impressed. His temporary caps were better than my real caps done by previous dentists. So yes, I highly recommend him if you are looking for a job well done. Pros: meticulous work, does not rush the work, nice office more

I have been going to Dr. Andrews for 8 years now and I am very satisfied with\r his business. I enjoy the staff, working with several of them for many years.\r I trust Dr's judgement and appreciate his efforts to remain current in his profession.\r Thanks so much for the great smile. more

I am all too familiar with having extensive dental work done-I have had braces, crowns, and have had my teeth bonded all before I was in high school. I always feared the dentist and hated the pain and I was never fully happy with the end result. I was referred to Dr. Andrews by a co-worker seven years ago and I have been very happy ever since -Dr. Andrews has fixed/replaced 7 crowns and one porcelain inlay-and I could not be more pleased with the work. I feel that Dr. Andrews and his staff are the most professional, caring and efficient staff in the Triangle. I have always received courteous service and impeccable quality dental work. I will continue to see Dr. Andrews and I will definitely continue to recommend him to all of my friends. Pros: Great dentist and always on time! more

I have been going to Dr. Andrews for a few years now, and I really respect him as a Doctor. At my initial exam I was already nervous about this appointment, and he and his staff made sure that I was extremely comfortable. I have such confidence in Dr. Andrews that I have referred several co-workers to him as well and all they can do is thank me. :-) Pros: Beautiful office, comfortable setting, great staff more
