Dr. Savage is a very good pediatric dentist. He was recommended by a lot of friends of mine and we recommend him too. Dr. Long's office is a little late in response. Within 9 days, I emailed twice, called twice however they still could not forward my daughters x-ray to another orthodontist office. I guess I should at least leave 3 weeks for them to send the images over.

Dr Marshall long is INCREDIBLE! I have been taking my kids here over the past 14 years and been to other dentists for different reasons. NO one, I mean NO other dentist comes close to her expertise. I have recommend countless people to her and they have all been happy.

First of all they told me it would take only a year, its been 4 YEARS since and they still havent removed my braces. Initially, there was also no problem and others had recommended me for invisalign, where this place did not suggest. No one will tell you how long it will take, the nurses say to ask the doctor and the doctor says to ask the nurses or gives a vague response. My teeth have actually been forced together I had to get gum surgery just becuase of the plan that they setup. I now have constant gaps in my teeth, where they were spaced evenly before and im not sure they will ever go away.

We’ve been going here with our littles for almost 8 years now and we highly recommend. They’ve seen my daughter when she pushed her baby teeth to the back of her gums and they repaired my son’s tooth when he chipped his front adult tooth. My kids love coming here and every dentist/hygienist we’ve seen have all been so good with the kids and handling any fears or questions they may have.

So thankful for this practice - my kids used Laxer, Long & Savage for both dental and orthodontic over the years & are now in their 20's. My daughter lives out of town & had an issue with her permanent retainer. When I called for a recommendation, they were able to squeeze her in when she came back to Charlotte & repaired the retainer, despite the fact that she has not been a pediatric patient for years! Above & beyond!
